Ursula de Boor

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ursula de Boor (married seaman), also called Ursel (born March 3, 1915 in Kirchhain near Marburg ; † May 5, 2001 in Marburg) was a German doctor and member of the White Rose Hamburg , a resistance group against National Socialism .

Live and act

Ursula de Boor was the daughter of the poet Lisa de Boor (1894–1957) and the officer and lawyer Wolfgang de Boor. She came to Hamburg from Heidelberg in 1940 and initially worked as an assistant doctor in the St. Georg auxiliary hospital . In October 1941 she was transferred to the children's clinic at the University Hospital Eppendorf (UKE) under Rudolf Degkwitz . Here she was instrumental in building up the candidates of humanity , a group of young doctors and medical students who came together in their negative attitude towards the Nazi regime. The group was linked to other resistance groups in Hamburg through personal contacts, especially through the students Frederick Geussenhainer and Albert Suhr . After the war, this connection was called the subsidiary branch of the White Rose or White Rose Hamburg .

Ursula de Boor was arrested by the Gestapo on December 20, 1943 , initially in the Bergedorf juvenile detention center and from January 8, 1944 in solitary confinement in the Fuhlsbüttel police prison . The reason for detention was: "Listening to hostile broadcasters and relaying the news, borrowing forbidden books and pamphlets, participating in communist meetings." In November 1944, the prisoner on remand of the People's Court was transferred to the Cottbus women's prison . The indictment against them, like 23 other members of the resistance group, was preparation for high treason .

In February 1945 Ursula de Boor was transferred to the prison in Bayreuth together with about 500 other prisoners before the approaching Red Army . It was planned that the People's Court should continue to meet here. However, the main hearing against them took place on April 19, 1945 before the People's Court in Hamburg in the absence of the accused. She had already been liberated by members of the US Army on April 14, 1945 in Bayreuth .

Ursula-de-Boor-Strasse in the Hamburg district of Langenhorn was named in her honor in 2016 .

Her brother was the psychoanalyst and head of the Sigmund Freud Institute in Frankfurt am Main, Clemens de Boor (1920–2005).
