Life

Schloz was born and raised in Deizisau. He attended secondary school in Esslingen am Neckar and then studied German and art history . After the First World War , he first worked as a drawing teacher and then became a vocational school teacher . In 1924 he was one of the co-founders of the Württemberg farmers' college. Schloz lived in Stuttgart-Weilimdorf. In addition to his teaching activities, he wrote numerous short stories, poems and plays. Some of them are written in the Swabian dialect of his hometown Deizisau, which also appears in several of his poems such as Ein Dorf and D´Rotfeld-Lende . As a painter and graphic artist, he often depicted motifs from Deizisau. The real dictionary of German literary history writes about the literary significance of his poetry:

“This dialect poetry can be placed alongside the high-level art poetry in terms of expression, variety of forms and content. August Lämmle and Wilhelm Schloz succeeded in ennobling the Swabian dialect in a very special way. "

Schloz was a member of the NSDAP as early as 1923 and again from 1933 . In the 1920s he was a member of folk -influenced organizations such as the Youth League of Eagles and Falcons and the Settlement League of Artamans . During the Third Reich he became a leading member of the German Faith Movement , which rejected Christianity and wanted to replace it with an "Aryan-Nordic" faith. He also wrote numerous writings on the ideology of this religious movement. Schloz was one of the National Socialist Swabian poets' circle founded in 1938 .

His son Wilhelm became known as a mountaineer.
