Hans
Scholl and his Family
Robert Scholl, the father,
was mayor in Ingersheim from October 1917 till December 1919,
then an independent municipality. He was elected on September
12th, 1917 and swore in on October 15th, 1917.
| Through
his a little bit too progressive way and because the
couldn't prove himself as a worthy representative of the
municipality at village festivities and other events ,(
how the people expected it from a man in his position )
people were reserved. Because of that his reputation at
the people of Ingersheim was only average. |
Robert and Magdalene Scholl
|
| He
got a salary of 2400 "Reichsmark" every year.
During world war 1 he was one of the few pacifist, who
didn't take part in the general enthusiasm of war. He
served in a medical company. After the war he didn't
belong to any political party. |
He had a natural
authority, which was respected by the children. The children
could go their own ways. Hans Scholl's mother was a former
Lutheran nurse and very religious Christian, who gave her deeply
rooted belief especially to Hans Scholl. Later, when her husband
was mayor, she looked very often at social affairs, because she
felt attracted by socially weak persons.
After his two years as
mayor in Ingersheim, he became mayor in
Forchtenberg
on January 1st, 1920. On May 9th, 1921 their second daughter
Sophie Scholl was born.
