Ecclesiastical

In 1926, the Baden pastor Wilhelm Koch took up his pastoral office in Sulzbach and worked hard on building up religious communities in the mother community and the affiliated communities of Herressen and Oberndorf . After initial enthusiasm for the "national uprising" in 1933, he became increasingly suspicious of the aggressive foregoing in its villages Nazis . In the period that followed, a real church struggle arose between his Evangelical Women's Aid and the Nazi women's group , which the Nazi teacher Lindner brought into position against the religious women in the vicinity of Koch who had joined the " Lutheran Confessional Community ". Because Koch and his confessional women did not submit to the Nazis, but publicly adhered to the confessional church, the pastor's family came under increasing pressure from the Gestapo . A forbidden dismissal of the pulpit by the BK even brought Koch to three weeks' imprisonment in Apolda . As a result of the cooperation between the Gestapo and the German-Christian regional church council in Eisenach , Koch was suspended from office in 1937 and expelled from the state of Thuringia in December of that year. Only after six months were the remaining wife and her five children allowed to follow the exiled husband and father, who was able to take up a new pastor's position in a Hessian parish. The Prager-Haus Apolda eV published the records of the pastor and his family in 2013.
