Trude Mohr

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Trude Mohr , married Bürkner-Mohr , also Bürkner (born September 12, 1902 in Potsdam ; † 1989 ) was a German youth leader who was Reichsreferentin of the Bund Deutscher Mädel (BDM) in the Reichsjugendführung (RJF) Berlin from 1934 to 1937 .

Life

Mohr grew up as the daughter of a postal inspector in a German national family. She attended the lyceum in Berlin, but then dropped out of the upper lyceum. From 1920 she worked as a post office box clerk. As early as 1919 she became a member of the German National Youth Association , the later Greater German Youth and a legal interpreter of the Bündische Jugend . In 1929 she joined the HJ sisterhood , which in 1930 became part of the Association of German Girls . Even before power was handed over to the National Socialists , she became a member of the NSDAP . Mohr helped set up the BDM and made a career there as a functionary: In 1931/32 she was the leader of the BDM in the Brandenburg Gau, in 1932/33 in the Berlin Gau and in 1933/34 of the Gauverband Ost. From 1934 to 1937 she was Reichsreferentin of the BDM and thus the highest BDM leader of the Reich Youth Leadership in Berlin.

As a result of her marriage to SS-Obersturmführer Wolf Bürkner and her pregnancy, Jutta Rüdiger succeeded her in November 1937 as Reichsreferentin of the BDM. Afterwards it no longer played an essential role in the Nazi state. She was commissioned to set up a social welfare system for workers of the Reichswerke Hermann Göring . Your efforts to get a lower NSDAP membership number were unsuccessful. After the war ended, she was arrested and interned by members of the British military administration in June 1945. She then moved to Salzgitter and got involved in the displaced party GB / BHE , for which she ran unsuccessfully on the Lower Saxony state list in the 1953 federal election. She did not appear later except for an interview given in December 1980.
