Rudolf Strobel

Rudolf Ströbel (born April 9, 1910 in Stuttgart ; † 1972 in Schwenningen ) was a German museum director, archaeologist and home curator who researched prehistory and worked at the local history museum in Schwenningen from 1964 to 1972 as its director .

Life

Ströbel studied prehistory from 1929 to 1934 at the University of Tübingen and received his doctorate in 1934 under the then private lecturer Hans Reinerth . During the time of National Socialism he published essays in the journals Germanen-Erbe und Mannus, edited by his academic teacher Reinerth . Journal for German Prehistory . Together with his academic teacher Reinerth, the professors Friedrich Gerke and Rudolf Stampfuß as well as the students Joachim Benecke and the photographer Heinz Dürr, Ströbel traveled as part of the special staff prehistory of the task force Reichsleiter Rosenberg from 22.9. Until November 24th, 1942 via Cracow and Kiev, further along the Dnieper, to the Crimea and the Caucasus "to check and secure the sites", as Reinerth's travel notes say. Ströbel's participation in this trip is evidenced by Reinerth's travel notes and a photo taken there. It is unclear to what extent Ströbel was actively involved in the robbery of cultural property by the task force Reichsleiter Rosenberg. After 1945 Rudolf Ströbel stayed in Tübingen before moving to Schwenningen in 1949.

Rudolf Ströbel worked at the local museum in Schwenningen for more than 20 years . He was responsible for the conception of the permanent exhibition, some of which has been preserved to this day. During the 1960s, Ströbel's direction also resulted in a series of special ethnographic exhibitions, inspired by the expeditions of the Schwenningen-based photographer and documentary filmmaker Hermann Schlenker: In a joint effort, living environments from regions that were largely unexplored at the time, from Iceland and Greenland, from the Amazon basin, from Central Africa were presented , from South America and from Southeast Asia. He also worked on a chronicle of the city of Schwenningen and helped set up the city archive. As part of his duties as a monument conservationist for the then Rottweil district , Rudolf Ströbel carried out a number of excavations; One of the most successful was the discovery of a primeval cow basin with an arrowhead on the grounds of the old cemetery in Schwenningen, but also the discovery of an extensive Roman bath near the Lorenz chapel in Rottweil.
