Rudolf Dörrier (born September 18, 1899 in Braunschweig ; † December 7, 2002 in Berlin-Pankow ) was a German historian and publicist . He was the founder and head of the district chronicle of Pankow.
During the First World War , Dörrier was a soldier from 1917 to 1918 and then a British prisoner of war until October 6, 1919 . In 1927 he moved to Berlin-Pankow.
In 1930 he married Lily Wassmundt, a Jew, in Berlin . The Dörrier couple had a daughter in 1933, Vera Dörrier, later Breitwieser. Lily Dörrier, whose parents were murdered in the Holocaust , died on January 2, 1993 in Pankow. The daughter also survived the National Socialist genocide .
In 2004 a Berlin elementary school was named after Dörrier, who had always presented himself as an anti-fascist . Due to his membership in the SS and his work as SS-Unterscharführer in the security team of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp , which became known in 2017, an intensive discussion arose about this designation. In 2020 the name of the school is to be changed to "Elementary School in Rosenthal".
