Wilhelm Buisson

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wilhelm Buisson (born April 17, 1892 in Emmendingen , † September 6, 1940 in Berlin ) was a German pharmacist and resistance fighter against National Socialism .

Life

After attending various schools in Emmendingen and Bruchsal , the pharmacist's son Wilhelm Buisson attained primary school and learned his father's trade. At the University of Munich , Buisson began studying pharmacy in 1912 , which was interrupted by the First World War , in which Buisson served as a lieutenant, so that he did not graduate until 1920 with the state examination. Buisson then worked in various Munich pharmacies and then with a health insurance company . Soon, however, he gave up the pharmacist's profession and ran a small factory for nutrients and dietary preparations from 1924 to 1931.

In 1926 he joined FC Bayern Munich and was responsible for an important part of the club's life as an “entertainment warden”. Buisson organized general meetings, celebrations and trips away, including the first known car parade to an away game in Nuremberg.

Buisson had been a member of the SPD since 1918 and was very active as such. In Munich he founded the "Reichsbanner Schufozug 13", with which he defended a trade union building in Munich against an attack by the SA on March 9, 1933 .

In May 1933 Buisson went into exile in Czechoslovakia . Like Waldemar von Knoeringen , whose liaison with Josef Lampersberger he was, he first lived in the town of Neuern (Nýrsko), near the border with Bavaria, and earned his living with the production of medicines. On the side he worked in Neuern for the Sopade , the exile organization of the SPD, as a "border secretary" and defense officer, d. H. responsible for checking those who had fled across the border and identified themselves as social democrats. This was to prevent Nazi agents from infiltrating the emigre organizations. He later moved to Prague , the seat of the Sopade, for which he continued to work. He organized u. a. the smuggling of anti-Nazi writings into Germany.

When Buisson went on a trip to Austria in the spring of 1938 , he was arrested by the Gestapo near Linz . After a trial before the 1st Senate of the “People's Court” in Munich , he was sentenced to death for alleged treason and his “hostile attitude towards the National Socialist state”. His appeal for clemency was denied. On September 6, 1940, he was executed by guillotine in Berlin .

Wilhelm Buisson was one of the few German pharmacists who actively campaigned for the elimination of the National Socialist regime in the years 1933–1945.
