Hans Hagemeyer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hans Hagemeyer

Johann Gerhard "Hans" Hagemeyer (born March 30, 1899 in Hemelingen , † October 10, 1993 in Walsrode ) was a German politician at the time of National Socialism . The trained businessman worked during the time of National Socialism as the representative of the NSDAP party ideologist Alfred Rosenberg for literary issues . As head of the Reich Office for the Promotion of German Literature (from 1933) and head of the "Literature Maintenance" office (1934–43) in the Rosenberg office , he was involved in leading positions in political harmonization in the field of literature . Since its offices - in contrast to the Propaganda Ministry and the Reichsschrifttumskammer - did not have state executive rights and thus, above all, could not issue direct bans, their literary-political framework conditions remained restricted. At the party official level, on the other hand, his Reichsstelle was the most influential control and supervisory authority for German-language literature at that time. Its main competitor was the Party Official Examination Commission for the Protection of National Socialist Literature (PPK). In the course of the Second World War , Hagemeyer was an inspector in the Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg (ERR) and, between 1942 and 1944, head of the anti-Jewish headquarters "supranational powers" set up in the Rosenberg office . Towards the end of the war he came increasingly into the critical field of vision of his superior Rosenberg.

Weimar Republic

Hagemeyer attended a secondary school after elementary school , which he finished with the Abitur. He then worked in agriculture for three years and then studied agriculture and economics at the University of Jena . He broke off his studies in 1923 and began a commercial apprenticeship in Bremen . After completing his apprenticeship, he worked as an authorized signatory in his father's company. On January 1, 1931, he became a member of the NSDAP and from the summer of 1931 worked in the economic policy department of Otto Wagener's Nazi leadership . In 1932 he became the regional economics officer of Julius Streicher in Nuremberg .

At the same time, he worked from the beginning of 1932 as head of the news office in Rosenberg's Combat League for German Culture (KfdK) in Nuremberg; from May of the same year he held the position of Country Director of the KfdK in Northern Bavaria - Franconia .

National Socialism

Reich Office for the Promotion of German Literature

In February 1933, in the wake of the National Socialists' " seizure of power ", Rosenberg commissioned him to set up a "book advice center" for the KfdK in Nuremberg. In the period that followed, however, this could only attain extremely modest importance. On May 11, 1933, the Fränkische Kurier reported that Hagemeyer had been appointed by the KfdK to be the main speaker at a book burning in Nuremberg and had sung about "the flames against the Lower German spirit" there. A few days earlier, in April 1933, Hagemeyer had moved up to the Nuremberg city ​​council , where he was responsible for the “ Theater departments , administrative board commercial college, tourist association”.

On June 16, 1933, Hagemeyer and other members of KfdK - namely Alfred Baeumler , Hanns Johst , Hellmuth Langenbucher , Rainer Schlösser and Gotthard Urban - founded the "Reich Office for the Promotion of German Literature" (RFdS) based in Leipzig . On August 1, 1933, the headquarters of the RFdS, whose origins can be traced back to the specialist and regionally limited Nuremberg book advice center, was relocated to Berlin. The address was " Oranienburger Strasse 79". Hagemeyer took over the management of the RFdS; his deputy was Hellmuth Langenbucher between 1933 and 1936. From then on, the reports prepared by the RFdS formed the basis for the assessment of the other steering offices responsible for Nazi literary policy. Hagemeyer's main lecturers were Alfred Baeumler and Walter Gross for racial studies , Georg Usadel (youth publications), Falk Ruttke ( population policy ), Hans Gänßbauer (medicine) and Kurt Mayer ( clan research ). The main lecturers in German were Franz Koch and Arthur Hübner . Hans Reinerth was responsible for the prehistory . In a letter to the NS-Lehrerbund (NSLB) dated November 1, 1933, Hagemeyer described the RFdS as "an unofficial department of the Reich Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda " and stated that there was a "working group" with the Reich Ministry of the Interior , headed by Wilhelm Frick . In the same month the RFdS reached an agreement with the literature offices of the NSLB and the Reichsjugendführung that from now on the youth literature would be subjected to an "appraisal" by the RFdS.

On March 17, 1934, after the Propaganda Ministry tried unsuccessfully to collect the Reichsstelle for itself and thereupon turned the money off, Hagemeyer informed Rosenberg in writing that “if I do not have clarity about the budget by the end of the month, I will liquidate the Reichsstelle must apply ”. On April 1, 1934, the RFdS was spun off from the Propaganda Ministry and directly subordinated to the Office of the "Commissioner of the Leader for the Supervision of the Entire Spiritual and Philosophical Education of the NSDAP" ( Office Rosenberg ; also "Reich Monitoring Office ") founded on June 6, 1934 . In addition to his work as head of the "Reich Office for the Promotion of German Literature", Hagemeyer also worked from May 1934 as a clerk in the field of "ideological issues" in the party official examination commission for the protection of National Socialist literature (PPK). Rosenberg had already tried unsuccessfully in March 1934 to incorporate the PPK into his office as a preliminary editing.

From 1934 Hagemeyers RFdS organized the book exhibitions "Ewiges Deutschland. Ewiges Deutschland. Ewiges Deutschland" in order to spread the Nazi ideology propagandistically and to raise its profile vis-à-vis state and party official literature . German Literature from 15 Centuries ”(1934) and“ The defensive Germany ”(1935). From 1936 these exhibitions were organized by the “Office for the Preservation of Literature”. The first was entitled "Political Germany" (1936). Others were: “Nuremberg, the German city. From the city of the Reichstag to the city of the Nazi party rallies ”(1937),“ Europe's struggle for fate in the east ”(1938),“ Woman and mother - the people's source of life ”(1939) and“ German greatness ”(1940). Some of the volumes accompanying the exhibitions were published by Hoheneichen-Verlag , which from October 1938 was expanded to become a “philosophical-scientific publisher”.

From 1935 Hagemeyer tried through intensive advertising measures with the central font of his RFdS, the review magazine Bücherkunde published monthly by the Bayreuth Gauverlag Bayerische Ostmark until 1944 for the promotion of German literature , “all indirect and direct mediators of German literature, as well as anyone interested in literature " to reach. Above all, the district and district commissioners of the Reichsstelle were committed to this goal, whereby they had to observe, coordinate and significantly influence the entire literature work in the districts and districts in addition to the regional structure of the NSDAP's library system. As the highest instance in the organizational structure of the party official steering offices in the literature area, all state public libraries were subordinated to the RFdS. The "Bücherkunde" also had a "series of publications" in book format, published by Hoheneichen-Verlag in Munich or by Engelhorn Verlag in Stuttgart.

Franz Theodor Hart, an employee of Rosenberg, wrote in the second edition of his book published in 1935 that the RFdS employs 400 lecturers. And he added: "The Reichsstelle has an overview of all German writers and poets, in which a basis is created for the constitution of the entire intellectual history of Germany, examines all German literature and has compiled the catalogs for all Nazi libraries." In one undated Hagemeyer already spoke of 600 editors, with up to 400 books being checked in one day and around 10,000 books and manuscripts per year. In general, the extent of systematic censorship was hidden from the public . However, in February 1936, Rosenberg publicly boasted that Hagemeyer's Reich Office alone had examined 3,000 manuscripts from the area of ​​prehistory. In 1938 the number of editors who - as the book scholar Ute Schneider stated - were “nothing more than censors” was around 900.

“Office for the maintenance of literature” in the Rosenberg office

After Rosenberg's office of “the Führer’s representative for the supervision of the entire intellectual and ideological education of the NSDAP” had been established in June 1934, Hagemeyer took over the management of the “main office 'literature maintenance'” (from April 1, 1936 “office literature maintenance”; from the end of 1941 “main office of literature maintenance”). In the beginning, this main office was completely identical to the organization of the “Reich Office for the Promotion of German Literature”, whereby the RFdS was ultimately merged into the “Office for the Maintenance of Literature”. The National Socialist Cultural Community (NSKG), which emerged from the KfdK and the “Reichsverband Deutsche Bühne” in June 1934 , formed the organizational basis of Rosenberg's new office as a whole. Hagemeyer also became head of the literature maintenance department of the NSKG. In the period that followed, the NSKG remained closely interlinked with the “Office of Art Maintenance” and “Office of Literature Maintenance” in Rosenberg's surveillance office. In the spring of 1935, Rosenberg submitted a draft order to the party chancellery on the department for the maintenance of literature, from which it emerges that the main body of literature should be converted into an office . The RFdS should then act as the "executive organ" of the newly created office. Around March 1935 - presumably in a draft version - an agreement was made in writing with the main office for educators of the NSLB that the office in Hagemeyer's literature maintenance department should take over the "main editing for the entire educational literature". It is unclear whether this convention was actually implemented. An internal letter from the NSLB written in the spring of 1936 explains what actually speaks “in favor of accepting the main editing offered for the entire educational literature” and what an “agreement” should look like. In October and November 1935, Hagemeyer repeatedly came into conflict with the Department of Art Care because of his "organizational fanaticism". Walter Stang , head of this office, complained to both Rosenberg and Gotthard Urban.

After Hagemeyer's headquarters had received the status of an office on April 1, 1936, on June 3, 1936 an undisclosed "personality" from the "Staff of the Führer" (StdF) objected to Hagemeyer's appointment as head of the Reichsleitung . Hagemeyer's official promotion from “Hauptstelleleiter” to “Amtsleiter” did not take place until November 9, 1937 on the basis of an order from Adolf Hitler . More serious than Hagemeyer's internal conflicts in the Rosenberg office, however, were his problems with other Nazi institutions that were active in literary politics. This applies in particular to Philipp Bouhler's PPK , which appeared as the main competitor of Hagemeyer's office for the maintenance of literature. One consequence of the quarrels with the PPK was that the cooperation with the NSLB and the Reich Youth Leadership, which had existed since 1934, was discontinued when the selection list Das Buch der Jugend was published in 1938. The NSLB and the Reich Youth Leadership have since published a new directory. On December 10, 1938, Martin Bormann , head of staff at Rudolf Heß , then received the request that the "water head" of the "125-member administrative apparatus" of the PPK should be dissolved and that its tasks should be transferred to the Department of Documentation. Because the PPK - so among other things the reason - was founded with the exclusive mandate to prevent only "business cycle literature". Now, however, the PPK is a censorship office for almost "all essential German literature" and thus a "competitor" to the Office for the Maintenance of Literature.

In the spring of 1939, the PPK expanded its activities to include textbook exams , whereupon Hagemeyer wrote to Rosenberg on March 23, 1939 that either he himself would be exempted from the textbook examination or that the PPK should no longer deal with this area. On April 29, 1939, Philipp Bouhler, head of the Fuehrer's chancellery , expressed concerns about the designation used "Office of the National Administration of Literature of the NSDAP" and rejected the new organizational drafts submitted by Hagemeyer's office as "impossible". Such an extensive organization is partly "completely useless and pointless" next to the main training office . Hagemeyer's commitment to obtain state powers for general cultural and political development in the Nazi state beyond the party official instruments also failed. The literary-political framework conditions and the possibilities of his departments remained limited: Despite multiple efforts, neither his “Reichsstelle” nor the main “Literature Maintenance” department was given direct authority to prohibit or give instructions to the state, so that the relevant limits, especially in the area of ​​censorship, professional permits, book propaganda and control of the book trade and publishing were often felt for him. In 1943 he still complained about the "semi-official character" of his office.

From around 1938 Hagemeyer worked on a comprehensive official "Jewish Bibliography ", which was printed in a preliminary edition in August 1939 with the first letters S to V of the surnames of Jewish authors. The last edition up to the letter Z was announced for the end of 1939. With the outbreak of the Second World War , the Office for the Maintenance of Literature took over from October 1939 the organization for the " NSDAP Book Collection for the German Wehrmacht " held every autumn . The books donated by private households were selected; Unwanted literature, which the police and other state agencies would otherwise not have access to, was sorted out during these actions. As early as 1935, Hagemeyer's Office of the Wehrmacht had made one hundred book suggestions for "Vacation, Travel and Entertainment"; including 39 titles of warlike content.

On January 24, 1940, Hagemeyer drafted a literary policy plan in which he proposed to Rosenberg that the publications should be grouped into three main areas of responsibility: The area of ​​church and religion should be subordinate to Matthes Ziegler , the research and science section to Alfred Baeumler and the field of upbringing and education himself. Other editors, such as Werner Daitz and Georg Leibbrandt , would then - as he finally wished - adhere to his suggestion. In 1940 Hagemeyer's office for the maintenance of literature had already reached a considerable size: at that time the office consisted of four "main offices" ("central editing", "evaluation", "deployment" and "literature research"), subdivided into a total of 21 "offices" , as well as - in addition to several hundred voluntary employees - 27 permanent employees. Hagemeyer was directly subordinate to the respective heads of these main offices. These included Bernhard Payr (from February 1, 1943 Peter von Werder ) in the "Zentralleektorat", Hans-Georg Otto in the "Evaluation", from 1943 Wilhelm Stölting in the "Literature Planning", Konrad Vogel in the "Informations" and Gerhard Utikal in the main office "Operation". Utikal, who came to the Rosenberg Office in 1936 and became department head of the Reich Office for the Promotion of German Literature in 1937, also headed the Central Office of the Reichsleiter Rosenberg (ERR) Task Force, which is located next to the Rosenberg Office and the NSDAP's Foreign Policy Office on Margaretenstrasse 18 in Berlin found.

Inspections in the operational staff Reichsleiter Rosenberg

With the establishment of the ERR, a number of employees of the main office for the maintenance of literature changed their field of activity (although the main office remained involved in the work of the ERR by viewing, processing and forwarding). In addition to Hagemeyer, who from then on worked as an “inspector” in the ERR, and Utikal, Gerhard Wunder , Herbert Clausberg and Hans-Wolfgang Ebeling were also part of the team . On August 29, 1940, a few days after Hagemeyer visited the new ERR office in Paris in his position as head of the literature maintenance office, he reported to Rosenberg in writing that 500 libraries had already been handed over to the Army High Command . After him, as he proposed, the Paris task force should be transformed into a “permanent office of your office”.

After Hagemeyer had applied for a seat in the Reichstag in vain since 1936, he moved up as a member of the Reichstag in September 1941 for the late MP Gotthard Urban .

Main office "supranational powers" in Rosenberg's office

On April 22, 1942, Hagemeyer took over from Matthes Ziegler , who ended his work in the office of "ideological information" at his own request, and in the successor of August Schirmer , whose position as head of the office "Jewish and Freemason Questions " was due to his Progress to the Wehrmacht became free, the management of the newly created main office “Supranational powers at the Fuhrer's commissioner for the supervision of the entire intellectual and ideological training and education of the NSDAP” in Rosenberg's office. According to Rosenberg's instructions, the office should primarily serve to “activate the fight against the Jews”.

Shortly afterwards, on June 18, 1942, Rosenberg ordered that Hagemeyer should be replaced by Bernhard Payr in his position as head of the “Main Office of Literature”. Since Payr was still in the Wehrmacht at that time, the change did not take place until February 1, 1943. On March 26, 1943, Hagemeyer wrote a letter to Heinrich Himmler , in which he informed him of his primary interests as head of the new office. He wrote that he saw his task primarily in the “task area of ​​combating Bolshevism, including the doctrines from which Bolshevism developed”, “that is, of liberalism and Marxism ”. He also counted "the intellectual and ideological observation of the European renewal forces with regard to their relationship to the supranational powers" with his tasks.

A note from the party chancellery dated June 4, 1943 shows that Joseph Goebbels complained to Martin Bormann about the “supranational powers” ​​area of ​​responsibility in the Rosenberg office “about a lack of knowledge of the Jewish question among the majority of the editors”. Goebbels announced that he did not consider Hagemeyer to be suitable for the management of the field of “supranational powers”. In fact, when Hagemeyer took up his new office, he himself announced that he was “not an expert, especially in the field of church politics”. On December 13, 1943, he wrote a letter to Matthes Ziegler, with which he tried to win him back.

On March 17, 1944, Rosenberg met him with sharp criticism of his work. He reminded Hagemeyer that for a year and a half he had "given him two tasks that he should carry out, the first being the provision of around 150 pamphlets for the period after the war and the second the implementation of the anti-Jewish congress". Hagemeyer was also drawn into controversial discussions about the occupation of physics chairs by Kurd Kisshauer from the “Main Office for World View Information”. The “Hauptamt Wissenschaft” protested against assigning such positions to opponents of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity , because this would damage the armaments industry, explicitly referring to Werner Heisenberg . Hagemeyer made a report on June 15, 1944. From this it emerges that he set up a “guest house for anti-Jewish opponents” in a small hotel in Eppenhain im Taunus and that the “International Anti-Jewish Congress” in Krakow is planned for the summer. Due to the events of the war, Hagemeyer's project was no longer implemented.

At the beginning of April 1944 "Dienstleiter" Hagemeyer took part as a "guest" at the important meeting of the "Anti-Jewish Action Point" in Krummhübel under Horst Wagner and gave a lecture with which he presented the planned congress in Krakow: Hagemeyer speaks about the international anti-Jewish congress and his tasks. His aim is to collect the European forces that have dealt with the Jewish question. The congress must be brought up politically.

On August 18, 1944, Helmut Stellrecht , head of the main “curriculum planning” department in the Rosenberg office since 1941, said that after two years of unsuccessful experimentation, Rosenberg had asked Hagemeyer to produce concrete work “in an unusually decisive manner”. On the same day, August 18, 1944, the party chancellery noted that Rosenberg had contacted Martin Bormann regarding "a possible other use" of Hagemeyer.

In September 1944, Hagemeyer's former “Main Office for Literature Maintenance” was closed on the basis of a decree by Bormann, while his “Reich Office for the Promotion of German Literature” continued until 1945. In November 1944, Hagemeyer ended his work as head of the main office for “supranational powers”. During the last weeks of the war, the main office for “supranational powers” ​​was continued under the direction of Heinrich Härtle from the main office for science together with four speakers.

post war period

After the end of the Second World War, all of Hagemeyer's writings in the Soviet zone of occupation were placed on the list of literature to be sorted out.

From 1976 Hagemeyer lived in Bremen as a pensioner.
