Life

Stefan Utsch was a brother of the writer Rudolf Utsch . He took part in the First World War and had been a freelance writer since 1929 . From 1934 he lived with his family in Boppard on the Rhine . Utsch joined the NSDAP at an unknown time before 1935, which he allegedly had to leave after falling behind with party contributions. Utsch was a local author: most of his writings are located in the regional area (Siegerland, Rhineland). Many least of his many published in the Nazi years publications represented nationalist-nationalist content, some are anti-French and kriegspropagandistisch as Scripture death sentence in Tours 1917. Records of the German POW 389 , in 1940 - at the time of the war against France - as a book in a subsidiary of the central publishing house of the NSDAP appeared. It had already been published as a series in daily newspapers of the NSDAP in 1934. Other writings were militantly anti-communist ( Im Lande der Roten , Freiburg i. Br. 1936; Unter Roten Wölfen , Dülmen 1937). Erz (1941) became a hit novel . He received "very positive" reactions in Nazi media. The Nazi propaganda authorities planned to film ore through the UFA. The project could not be completed due to the collapse of the Nazi regime.

After the end of the regime, it was alleged that Utsch had been banned from writing. There is no evidence for this. In 1952 he founded the open-air theater at the Siegerland natural monument " Druidenstein " in Kirchen (Sieg) , where theatrical performances were held until the 1960s . In 1972 Utsch was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit on ribbon . A few years ago there were several new editions of individual fonts in small publishers. Some of his publications were included in neo-Nazi mail order programs.

In 2012, a memorial for Utsch was erected in Boppard in the upper Rhine area.

Self-testimony: "That these sacrifices are not made in vain is shown by the enormous pull of the national uprising, which is sweeping through our people with undreamt-of waves." (Death sentence in Tours 1917, p. 198)
