Wilhelm Schiefer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wilhelm Schiefer (born May 11, 1885 in Germscheid (Asbach) ; † February 9, 1947 in Cologne-Ehrenfeld ) was a German headmaster and National Socialist author.

Life

After graduating from high school in Düren in 1907 , he studied history, geography, Latin and Greek in Munich and Bonn up to the state examination in 1912. The doctorate to Dr. phil. took place on July 25, 1913 in Bonn. The seminar and trial year were in Krefeld and Bad Münstereifel. Because of the First World War, he carried out substitute training for many years in various cities in the Rhineland. The fixed setting as teacher followed in 1921 at the Cologne Dreikönigsgymnasium . In 1933 he became a member of the NSDAP and the NS teachers' association . In 1935 Schiefer rose to the position of headmaster, first as director of studies , then as director of studies, at the so-called Hindenburg-Oberschule Kleve from 1938 on. One of the students at this time was Joseph Beuys , who told himself about his time in the Hitler Youth and was sponsored by Schiefer.

Family grave in Melaten cemetery

Schiefer made a name for himself as the editor of the widespread secondary school history book by Maier - Schirmeyer , which he transformed together with Walther Hohmann in the National Socialist and racist sense. From 1939 both published a new book Volk und Reich der Deutschen by Salle-Verlag, which better met the expectations of Nazi school policy.

His son was the Erlangen neurologist Wolfgang Schiefer (1919-1980).

Wilhelm Schiefer was buried in the family grave at the Melaten cemetery in Cologne (lit. C, between lit. H + J).
