Paul von Hindenburg as an honorary citizen
The list of honorary citizenships of Paul von Hindenburg lists the honorary citizenships that were awarded to Paul von Hindenburg (1847–1934). Hindenburg was initially awarded honorary citizenships, especially in Prussia , in connection with his services in the First World War . In particular, on the occasion of his 70th birthday in 1917, several cities awarded this honor.
With the so-called “national uprising”, the appointment of Adolf Hitler as Reich Chancellor on January 30, 1933 (“ seizure of power ”), numerous cities in the German Reich began to make him an honorary citizen alongside leading politicians of the NSDAP despite the lack of local reference. According to the journalist Rudolf Olden, he was an honorary citizen of 150 German cities; Hans-Otto Meissner , the son of the office manager of Reich President Otto Meissner , even speaks of honorary citizenships in 3824 German cities and communities. After the end of the Second World War , these honors were symbolically revoked by individual cities.
