from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Peter Jungblut (born November 27, 1961 ) is a German journalist and author.

Jungblut has been working for Bayerischer Rundfunk (BR) since 1989 and was initially a radio correspondent in Bonn (1990 to 1995) and in the ARD capital studio in Berlin (1995 to 2004). Since April 2004 he has been the chief editor in the “Kultur aktuell” department at BR in Munich, where he is particularly active as a music theater critic, commentator and glossist ( End of the World on Bayern 2 ).

The historian (studied in Munich and Bonn, MA) initially researched German press policy from 1890 to 1914 and other topics of the Wilhelmine era , as well as the regional history of the Altötting district under National Socialism ( Tod in der Wiege , 1991, revised as purely strategic aspects , 2002, including about the end of the war, the years of recruitment of forced laborers from all over Europe, the concentration camp satellite camp near the factory premises in Gendorf and the maternity camp for children of Eastern workers on the opposite side of the Alz in Burgkirchen ). In 1991, the Hoechst company prevented an originally planned contribution by Jungblut from the Nazi era from appearing in the home book of the municipality of Burgkirchen an der Alz ( The denazified home book , Süddeutsche Zeitung of June 19, 1991). This led to a national press coverage. Hoechst, an IG Farben -Nachfolgegesellschaft had the 1955 under dubious circumstances only to Emmerting taken, later belonging to Burgkirchen chemistry Gendorf, in 1939 as a secret military operation ( " Anorgana had been established") and u. a. Was supposed to produce raw materials for the Air Force and poison gas. Forced laborers and concentration camp inmates were employed there. The former liaison of IG Farben to the Gestapo and the Nazi Gauleitung , Hans Wagenheimer, was managing director from 1955 until the incorporation of the Anorgana into the Hoechst group and then received power of attorney .

Around 150 babies were killed in a “children's institution” for “Eastern workers”. The CEO of Hoechst, Jürgen Dormann , later apologized for the censorship intervention by his predecessors at the top of the company, as did the current chemical park operator Infraserv.

Jungblut published books on the Wilhelmine Eulenburg affair ( Famose Kerle , Hamburg 2003) and on the homosexual emancipation movement ( A foray through the gay history of Munich 1813-1945 , Munich 2005). He also worked for the Bavarian Radio on the writer Walter Flex ( Wildgänse rauschen durch die Nacht , 2007) and wrote repeatedly about the history of the German press ball since 1872. His radio feature topics also included: a. the Berlin art critic Karl Scheffler (forever will, never be) , Friedrich II. of Prussia (on his 300th birthday) and the Prussian Queen Luise (on the 200th anniversary of her death).
