from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hubert Josef Wilhelm Kausemann (born November 22, 1903 in Gummersbach ; † July 23, 1941 near Pygi, Smolensk area ) was a Hessian politician of the NSDAP , acting mayor of Bad Orb and district administrator in Gelnhausen (from April 9, 1933 to April 7, 1940).

Origin and family

Kausemann came to Birstein with his parents before the First World War , they operated a spinning mill there. On March 28, 1925, he married Margarete Müßig in Frankfurt am Main ; the marriage resulted in four children.

politics

Kausemann was the district leader of the NSDAP and her top candidate in the local elections on March 8, 1933. His aim was to implement the new course as quickly as possible. Five district council members sent urgent telegrams to the district president in Kassel and the Prussian interior minister, with which they demanded the removal of his predecessor Conrad Delius ; this no longer has the confidence of the population. This was followed by another telegram four weeks after the election - this time signed by all district committee members - with the information that District Administrator Delius had resigned voluntarily. The district committee asked the ministry “Pg. Kausemann "as acting district administrator" because only he can guarantee that "peace and order will be maintained". Just one day later, Kausemann was appointed provisional district administrator by the Prussian Ministry of the Interior (district administrators were available , ie officials who could be transferred at any time, including those who were retired).

During the seven years of his tenure, almost exactly to the day, the Waldrode settlement (part of the Großenhausen district of the Linsengericht community ) was created on the heights of the Vorspessart (where even viticulture was practiced with modest success) through the deployment of the Reich Labor Service (RAD ). In the western part of the Gelnhausen district, the Wetterau-Main-Tauber-position , a military bunker belt between Büdingen in the Wetterau and the Lower Franconian Klingenberg in Bavaria , was built in 1936/37 , in Rothenbergen (today a district of Gründau ) west of Gelnhausen Air base set up, the district hospital in Gelnhausen and the maternal convalescence home in Bieber (now part of the municipality of Biebergemünd ) built.
