Josef Hainzl (1932)

Josef "Sepp" Hainzl (born March 20, 1888 in Massing near Krieglach ; † August 22, 1960 in Oberkurzheim ) was an Austrian politician ( Heimatblock , NSDAP , FPÖ ) and SS leader .

Youth and First World War

Sepp Hainzl was born in the small Styrian town of Massing as the son of a farmer. After attending elementary school , the community schools in Krems and Bruck an der Mur and attending the Landesschule für Alpwirtschaft Grabnerhof near Admont , Hainzl earned his living as a farmer.

At the First World War Hainzl participated with the Rifle Regiment 3, where he attended the Eastern Front and the Italian front was used and has frequently been seriously wounded. In the autumn of 1918 he was injured in the war and was given leave of absence as a deputy officer. During the war he was decorated with three awards for bravery.

Interwar period

In 1921 he started his own business as a farmer.

In the 1920s, Hainzl began to get involved in circles of the extreme right. He was initially a co-founder of the Styrian Homeland Security and became Deputy Country Manager there in 1930 and Country Manager from 1931–1932. He was involved in the Pfrimer coup attempt . At the same time he was 1930-1933 member of the Austrian National Council for the home block . In parliament he was at the center of violent clashes on several occasions: for example, on July 19, 1932, he threw a flint at Otto Bauer , who suffered a bleeding wound on his head, and for which Hainzl was sentenced to a fine of 300 shillings .

He was largely responsible for the removal of the Styrian Homeland Security from the course of the federal leadership of the Heimwehr . Between the vote and the insistence on the conditions of the Lausanne Protocol in August 1932, he resigned from the home block. Since the early 1930s, Hainzl has been involved in the Styrian Gauleitung of the Austrian NSDAP .

He was also a member of the State Chamber for Agriculture and Forestry in Styria until 1933.

Furthermore, he was President of the State Chamber of Agriculture in Styria, Chairman of the Pöls Milk Processing Cooperative, Deputy Chairman of the Murbodner Viehzuchtgenossenschaft Oberzeiring and member of the board of the Murbodner-Mürzaler Cattle Breeding Cooperatives.

National Socialism and World War II

Immediately after the "Anschluss" of Austria in March 1938, he became Deputy Governor.

From April 1938 until the end of the Nazi regime in the spring of 1945, Hainzl was a member of the National Socialist Reichstag for Austria .

He became NS-Landesbauernführer for the "Südmark" (Styria and Carinthia ) and from 1940 was a member of the board of directors of Reichsnährstand Verlags GmbH in Berlin.

In the General SS , Hainzl achieved the rank of standard leader .

In the Second Republic

1945–1948 Hainzl was imprisoned.

In 1949, on the initiative of Alfons Gorbach and supported by 100 former prominent National Socialists, Hainzl called for the election of the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP). Possibly this was done in gratitude for the support of those politically persecuted at the time by leading representatives of the Styrian ÖVP.

In 1956 he was briefly a member of the state party leadership of the Freedom Party of Austria (FPÖ) and its top candidate in the constituency of East Styria.
