Wilhelm Schulz (politician, 1887)

Wilhelm ("Willi") Schulz (born March 17, 1887 in Bergen an der Dumme ; † January 7, 1947 in Nienbergen ) was a German elementary school teacher and Hamburg state school board member during the National Socialist era .

Wilhelm Schulz had been an elementary school teacher in Geesthacht, which was then part of Hamburg, and a member of the Society of Friends of the Patriotic Schools and Education System since 1908 . From 1925 he first attended a course in educational psychology at the University of Hamburg , from then on worked as a freelancer in the seminar for educational science, which is oriented towards reform education, and completed a doctoral degree from 1929 to 1932 under the pedagogue Gustaf Deuchler .

On August 1, 1932, Schulz joined the NSDAP and the National Socialist Teachers' Association (NSLB) after he had met the Hamburg Gauleiter Karl Kaufmann . In 1933 he was appointed Hamburg leader of the NSLB and was in close contact with Reichsführer Hans Schemm . On March 20, 1933, Schulz was appointed to the Hamburg High School Council under school senator Karl Julius Witt and to the State School Council in November 1933 . Schulz was responsible for the DC circuit of all Hamburg teacher associations and the assumption of National Socialist education in the Hamburg school system. In 1938 he was appointed head of the state school and university office and thus in fact Witt's superior. In 1942 he retired from active service because of an unhealed lung disease.
