Life

Peter Binz grew up in Düren, where he attended elementary school and in 1921 passed his Abitur at the Realgymnasium . He then unsuccessfully studied mining at the Technical University of Aachen and then became a businessman. As such, he worked in the Leopold Schoeller cloth factory until 1934, when he started working full-time for the NSDAP on March 1, 1934.

He joined the NSDAP on June 1, 1930 ( membership number 251.615). Initially local group leader in Düren, he rose to the position of district leader and was confirmed as such by Adolf Hitler on December 4, 1935 . He was later appointed senior division manager. He was also the commissioner for the implementation of the new municipal law of the NSDAP and for the offices of the Düren district .

From 1935 he was trained as a pioneer in Höxter and Westhofen and served in the Wehrmacht from 1940 , where he last held the rank of lieutenant and commanded a mine clearance command. He received the War Merit Cross I and II Class, the Iron Cross of unknown form and the NSDAP service awards in bronze and silver.

In July 1943, Binz took over the office of NSDAP district leader in Düren again. Deputy NSDAP district leader was Georg Logauer, mayor in the Birgel office .

After the Second World War he was interned in various camps and released in 1946 with provisional classification as a minor . As a member of the Political Leadership Corps of the NSDAP, he was sentenced to three and a half years imprisonment on April 16, 1948 by the 12th Chamber of Arbitration in Bielefeld . On December 22, 1948, the sentence was reduced to two years and ten months in an appeal hearing. With detention counting, he left the courtroom a free man.

In 1948 he was also charged with crimes against humanity by the Aachen public prosecutor's office . However, the proceedings were dropped in 1949. Binz then worked as an innkeeper in Düren, where he died in 1985. His older brother Franz also worked for the NSDAP and had been a member of the Reichstag for many years .

In 1952 Peter Binz worked for the Düren FDP. In an article about elections in the CDU city party it is said: “There is also the possibility that the FDP in Düren, in which the former district leader of the NSDAP in Düren, Peter Binz, is active in propaganda, will go public with a list of candidates.
