Otto Nippold (* 28. February 1902 in Meiningen , † 17th May 1940 in Mondrepuis ) was deputy NSDAP - Gauleiter in Munich - Upper Bavaria and a member of the Reichstag .

Live and act

Nippold attended the grammar school in Meiningen and studied at the University of Munich initially Forestry and then law . During his studies he became a member of the Rhenania Munich fraternity in 1920 . He then worked as a forest trainee for a few months at the Chamber of Agriculture in Wroclaw and then for two and a half years as a court trainee in Munich.

Nippold joined the NSDAP in 1923 and was active in the NS student union in 1928 and 1929 . He was the founder and until 1930 head of the NSDAP local group in Gauting . From 1930 to September 1932 he was the regional manager in the Munich-Upper Bavaria district. During this time he gave up his career in favor of the party. In view of his aggressive publications, Nippold was convicted of insulting the state and denigrating political opponents numerous times. In 1932, as before , Gauleiter Adolf Wagner refused to finance Nippold's fines from the party coffers. Wagner found particular disapproval for Nippold's destruction of the window panes of the Münchner Neuesten Nachrichten . In view of the outstanding fines of at least 3000 RM , Nippold fled to South Tyrol in autumn 1932 , but returned after a Christmas amnesty towards the end of the year. According to the historian Mathias Rösch, significant personal problems Nippold, especially the failure of his marriage, contributed to his aggressiveness. Rösch sees Nippold as an example of the fact that the Munich NSDAP “certainly had to suffer from the problematic characters of its leaders”.

After the transfer of power to the National Socialists, Nippold was NSDAP district leader in Ingolstadt from February to April 1933 . Until his death he was deputy Gauleiter in the Munich-Upper Bavaria district. From the 9th electoral term in November 1933 , Nippold was a member of the Reichstag for constituency 24 (Upper Bavaria-Swabia) . From then on he headed the state office of the Reich Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda for Munich and Upper Bavaria. From 1935 to 1937 he was also district leader of the NSDAP in Munich and state cultural administrator for the Munich-Upper Bavaria district . In 1937 Nippold was instrumental in staging the anti-Semitic exhibition The Eternal Jew .

Nippold fell as a member of the Wehrmacht in combat operations during the western campaign in France. For him, pushed Wilhelm Wettschureck according to the Reichstag.
