Werner Hahlweg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Werner Hahlweg (born April 29, 1912 in Berlin ; † May 7, 1989 in Baden-Baden ) was a German military historian and military scientist .

During National Socialism , Hahlweg, who had become a member of the SS in 1933 and the NSDAP in 1936 , presented programmatic essays on the conceptual renewal of the military museums and played a key role in the redesign of the World War II department of the Berlin armory . After taking part in the Second World War as a member of the army from 1939 to 1945 , he taught from 1950 first as a lecturer in general history, from 1957 to 1969 as a professor of history with a special focus on Dutch history, and from 1969 to 1978 as a professor of military history and defense sciences at the Westphalian Wilhelms University in Münster. From 1962 to 1986 Hahlweg headed the German Society for Heereskunde and was then appointed honorary chairman.

He was known as the “ Nestor of Clausewitz Research” in Germany and was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit, 1st class in 1983 . The Werner Hahlweg Prize emerged from his estate in 1992 . After Hahlweg's party and SS membership became public in 2012, the Federal Ministry of Defense decided not to award the prize under its original name.

Life

Origin and school attendance in Gdansk

Hahlweg's ancestors came from the Netherlands and settled in the province of West Prussia . On his father's side he was the scion of a soldier family; the father initially served as a military doctor with the protection force for German South West Africa and then worked for the Landwehr in Berlin, where Werner Hahlweg was born in 1912. After the outbreak of World War I in 1914, his father and his family were transferred to the garrison hospital at the Prussian fortress Graudenz south of Danzig . Werner Hahlweg grew up there and pursued the military career of his father, who at the end of the war became a medical officer of the Landwehr in the General Command of the XVII. Army Corps in Danzig was promoted.

After 1918, the father settled in Danzig-Langfuhr as a general practitioner . In 1931, Hahlweg graduated from the Kronprinz-Wilhelm-Reform-Realgymnasium in the Wrzeszcz suburb of Danzig. His later work was largely shaped by the history of the Free City of Danzig and the multi-ethnic state Austria-Hungary .

Studied in Tübingen and Vienna

In 1931 he began studying history , philosophy and art history at the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen , where he a. a. Attended lectures with Johannes Haller . The following year he moved to the University of Vienna . Here his academic teachers included Karl Bühler , Alfons Dopsch , Hans Hirsch , Carl Patsch , Julius von Schlosser and Heinrich von Srbik . At the same time he worked as an associate member for the Institute for Austrian Historical Research on the auxiliary historical sciences . In addition to his studies, he was also a volunteer at the Austrian Army Museum from 1932 to 1934 , where he worked under Wilhelm John . His circle of friends also included the historian Alfred Mell , director of the Army History Museum from 1934.

Employee at the Berlin armory

Hahlweg began his doctoral thesis in 1934 at the chair for war history at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin . In 1936, he was at Walter Elze , a student of Hans Delbrück , with the dissertation The warfare of Gdansk to Dr. phil. PhD . He was a member of the NSDStB and joined the SS on June 1, 1933 and the NSDAP on September 1, 1936 .

From July 1936, Hahlweg worked at the Zeughaus Berlin , an institution of the War Ministry , where he was most recently a consultant for infantry weapons and artillery . He presented programmatic essays on the conceptual renewal of the military museums under National Socialism. As a doctoral student and research assistant at the Zeughaus, he suggested in 1935 that instead of a systematic presentation of developments in the history of weapons, the soldiers should be the focus of exhibitions in order to embody German virtues and strengths of character. In this way, the army museums could fulfill their tasks determined by “the reawakened will to fight”, “on the one hand to be places of defensive education of the people, guardians and caretakers of the warlike tradition and the soldierly spirit, on the other hand to be active as research, educational and teaching institutions to put in the service of general construction ”. The new World War II department of the armory, which was opened in 1936 and which Hahlweg played a key role in building and setting up, was designed according to new principles. Room texts and object comments dictated the ideologically shaped interpretation of the exhibits and conveyed central messages and aspects of Nazi ideology, while the previously common display effects such as object staging and re-enactment of scenes were dispensed with.

In May 1937, Hahlweg also worked on the exhibition The Political Danzig (Danzig) on behalf of the Gaulish propaganda leadership of the NSDAP . In 1937, at the suggestion of a fatherly friend, he began his habilitation thesis The Army Reform of the Orange and the Ancient World , which became a "fundamental work" on the subject. In the spring of 1940 he submitted his work to Walter Elze and Arnold Oskar Meyer .

Military service in the Wehrmacht

When the war broke out in September 1939, before completing his habilitation thesis in Berlin, he was drafted into the Wehrmacht . He served with the artillery force in Berlin-Spandau . Before that, he had already done military exercises due to the practical relevance . In May and June 1940 he took part in the campaign in the west as a soldier . After a stay in Berlin, he was a member of an artillery regiment in the attack by the German armed forces on the Soviet Union and in the German-Soviet war in 1941/42 . On February 15, 1942, he was promoted to lieutenant . In 1943 he was transferred to the Heereswaffenamt (HWA) in Berlin, where he headed the technical department for development and testing (WA Prüf 2) as a technical test group leader. He worked u. a. participated in the development of the assault rifle 44 , which was introduced to the Wehrmacht in 1943. In August 1944 he was briefly “on a command in the occupied territories” in this function.

As a member of the Wehrmacht, Hahlweg was also active as a “booty” or “collection officer” in order to find suitable exhibits for special armory exhibitions in war zones, in which trophies, opposing uniforms and weapons were displayed during the war.

University professor in Berlin and Münster

In June 1942 he received the Venia Legendi for history at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin with a special focus on the history of war, army and arms studies and gave an inaugural lecture .

After the end of the Second World War, Hahlweg worked as a private scholar . His Habilitation was indisputable, but since military history was banned as a subject, he had, as a teaching assistant to take action on General History umhabilitieren . At the end of 1950 he was employed as a lecturer in history at the Westphalian Wilhelms University in Münster. From 1957 he was associate professor for history with special emphasis on Dutch history and from 1969 full professor for military history and defense sciences at the Department of History. In the Federal Republic of Germany he was the only full professor for this subject. He retired in the late 1970s . His academic students included a. Dermot Bradley , Hans-Peter Harstick , Jürgen Kraus , Horst Lademacher , Ulrich Marwedel , Joachim Niemeyer , Winfried Scharlau , Erich Vad , Arnold Vogt , Arnold Wirtgen and Rolf Wirtgen . He continued to exert significant influence on Roland Beck and Andreas Herberg-Rothe , who heard from him in Münster; Peter Löw began his doctorate at Hahlweg. After several years of vacancy, a professorship for military history ( Bernhard Sicken ) was established again in Münster in 1983 .

Voluntary association work

In November 1932 he became a member of the Austrian Society for Army Studies in Vienna. In 1934 he joined the Society for Heereskunde in Berlin and in 1936 became its board member in the role of secretary. From 1962 to 1986 he was chairman of the German Society for Heereskunde. One of his achievements was the establishment of the "Heeresmuseale Nachrichten" column in the Heereskunde magazine . In 1986 the members elected him the third honorary chairman in the club's history for his voluntary work .

After his death in 1989, Hahlweg was buried in the main cemetery in Baden-Baden.

Military scientific work in the Federal Republic

Hahlweg was one of the most renowned military historians in Germany. As a respected expert on the army reformer and military theorist General Carl von Clausewitz , he became the universally oriented Ferd. Dümmler Verlag asked to re-publish his main work Vom Kriege (1832). He complied with this in 1952 and published the 16th edition with an introduction and, for the first time, detailed comments; others, most recently the 19th edition from 1991, were to follow. In 1966 he was entrusted by the Historical Commission at the Bavarian Academy of Sciences with the publication of more extensive writings by Clausewitz. About him and others (including Albert von Boguslawski and Wilhelm René de l'Homme de Courbière ) and technical terms, he also wrote corresponding lexicon articles in the Neue Deutsche Biographie (NDB) and in the Reallexikon zur Deutschen Kunstgeschichte (RDK) as well as in manuals. He was also a leader and participant in international meetings and conferences. a. Specialist conferences at the Center for Inner Leadership of the Clausewitz Society . In retrospect, he is regarded as the “Nestor of Clausewitz Research” in the Federal Republic of Germany and at the same time was one of the world's leading scientists in this field.

From the mid-1950s he dealt with Friedrich Engels , Karl Marx and Lenin and the significance of the guerrilla war . He also examined the Vietnam War and different forms of war. In May 1970 he spoke to Marx and Engels at the international scientific conference initiated by the city of Wuppertal on the 150th birthday of Friedrich Engels .

Hahlweg tried to understand the military as "an integral part of modern society". He saw this science as the technical basis for further considerations in national defense and peace research . He advocated interdisciplinary work including the western and eastern world and advocated holistic thinking with the help of philosophy , dialectics and logic .

In 1973 he co-founded the multi-volume series Studies on Military History, Military Studies and Conflict Research at Biblio Verlag , which he was to publish with Johann Christoph Allmayer-Beck , Hans Bleckwenn , Dermot Bradley, Charles B. Burdick , Othmar Hackl and Walter Schaufelberger .
