Willhart S. Schlegel
Willhart Siegmar Schlegel (born August 13, 1912 in Bad Soden am Taunus ; † January 25, 2001 in Kronberg im Taunus ) was a German doctor, writer and sexologist .
Life
Schlegel received his doctorate in 1939 under the racial hygienist Otmar von Verschuer at the University of Frankfurt am Main with the thesis A clinical hereditary biological contribution to the question of asthenia . Schlegel was one of the leading players in German sex science, which was newly consolidated between the 1950s and 1960s. Despite his National Socialist past - Schlegel had already joined the NSDAP in 1930 - he was able to present himself in the liberal press as a progressive advocate of legal equality for homosexual men. In his publications Schlegel defended pedosexual relationships between boys and adult men as character-enhancing measures.
