We would especially like to thank the present and former mayors of Oberschopf­ heim, Friesenheim, Kuerzell, and Lahr as well as several members of the Baehr and Messerer families, who helped us in many ways. We are particularly grateful to an old friend and excellent critic, Professor Charles R. Poinsatte of St. Mary's College, who read the manuscript and offered a multitude of suggestions for improvement. This page intentionally left blank ____ INTRODUCTION ____ THIS STUDY CENTERS on Oberschopfueim, a village in south­ western Germany. In it we seek to indicate some quite different yet interrelated things. First and foremost, we strive to assess the impact of the Nazi era (1933-1945) on the village and its people, as similar studies have attempted to do for other German communities. Because the people ofOberschopfueim remained relatively unmoved by the blandishments of the Nazis, we devote much attention to the causes of their relative indif­ ference; to the structure of their village and to their traits, habits, at­ titudes, and expectations; to the ballast that kept their community on a relatively even keel in a tumultuous era. Finally, we seek to determine which of the many tempests of the revolutionary twentieth century did shake the village and its people most profoundly. Oberschopfueim was chosen for several reasons: some general; some quite specific, even personal. One general reason was that the dramatic upheavals of the modern age have been especially marked there. In 1900 it was still essentially a medieval community of about fifteen hundred people. It was inhabited exclusively by full-time or part-time farmers and dominated by its pastor and village officials, with its religious and social life centered about the village church. Most of its people had only an elementary formal education, limited intellectual horizons, and few con­ tacts with the world beyond their own community. They idealized, though they did not attain, economic self-sufficiency. Most of them had little interest in changing their mode oflife and little belief that such change was possible. Many still believed in ghosts and feared the few wolves and wild boars that lived in nearby forests. By 1988 Oberschopfueim had grown to twenty-five hundred people, a high proportion of whom worked in nearby cities and merely lived and slept in the village. Most families had radios, television sets, and auto­ mobiles. Their children rode in buses to consolidated city schools, and many of them aspired to attend universities. Everyone except the aged shared most of the interests, plans, hopes, and habits common to hundreds of millions of people throughout the Western world. Who or what was responsible for this metamorphosis? 2 The Nazi Impact on a German Village Why choose a German village? A major reason is that Germany did more than any other nation to keep the world in turmoil from 1870 to 1945. This was especially true during the Nazi era. Germany also has been racked more thoroughly by the upheavals of the twentieth century than other major European nations save Poland and Russia. Between 1914 and 1990 Germans experienced two world wars; four changes of political regime; two extended periods offoreign occupation, one of which has still not ended at this writing; two currency inflations that proceeded to total repudiation; the Great Depression of the 1930s, which hit Germany harder than any other country; domination by the Nazis, the most bizarre and reckless political adventurers of modern times; division and reunification; and the "economic miracle" that followed World War II. We selected a village because large and middle-size cities have at­ tracted the attention of far more historians and sociologists than have villages and rural areas, even though the vast majority of human beings were farmers in all societies at all times before the industrial age. Before World War II some 35 percent of the population of Germany, representing 94 percent of all the communities in the Third Reich, still lived in villages of fewer than two thousand people.l Finally, the village chosen was 99 percent Catholic, whereas most previous studies of this sort have been of Protestant or mixed communities. The selection of Oberschopfheim also owed much to the personal consideration that Walter Rinderle, one of the writers of this book, hap­ pened to be well acquainted with the place. His father, Herman Joseph Rinderle, was born in the neighboring village ofKuerzell in 1902. Numer­ ous relatives still live in Lahr and in the nearby villages of Friesenheim, Schuttern, and Ottenheim. Some of them are well known in these com­ munities and in the past have held local public offices. Thus they were ideally situated to provide information to the writer and to allow him access to county, village, and parish records. The importance of these fortuitous circumstances can hardly be overrated, for in many German villages the inhabitants distrust inquisitive strangers seeking information about some of the bitterest controversies of modern times. Finally, Oberschopfheim was chosen because its records were more extensive than those of other communities in Lahr county. In several of them many records were destroyed in World War II, either by Allied bombers or by local citizens anxious to cover their tracks. Nevertheless most of the generalizations offered about Oberschopfheim in this study are largely applicable to the other villages in Lahr county. The personal interest of Walter Rinderle was awakened when he lived intermittently in Kuerzell and Oberschopfheim from 1962 to 1967, while he was pursuing graduate study in Innsbruck. He lived there again in 1970 Introduction 3 and went back once more for six months in 1973 to do research. Both writers spent additional time in the village in 1988 and have corresponded extensively with people there since. Most of the source material for this study came from village archives. These contained copies of correspon­ dence sent and received and detailed information about such matters as agriculture, local government, the manifold endeavors and concerns of the church, the distribution of welfare, community discord, and the activities of the police. The pastor, village officials, and ordinary citizens alike were generously cooperative. They provided such materials as church records, personal and club diaries, and a draft copy of Oberschopfheim's early history. County officials and the editors of the county newspapers, Lahrer Anzeiger and Lahrer Zeitung, were also gracious and helpful. The files of the Berlin Document Center might have provided much useful material but officials in Bonn assured us that documents pertaining to Karlsruhe and Freiburg, the two cities closest to Oberschopfheim, were destroyed in the Second World War. Likewise, one might suppose that the Baden State Archives in Karlsruhe would be valuable.

    Consulate General of India Munich ***** General and Bilateral Brief- Baden-Württemberg/ India Baden-Württemberg located in Germany’s Southwest side, lies at the very heart of Europe and shares borders with two other European countries – France, Switzerland and three German States – Rhineland Palatinate, Hesse and Bavaria. In terms of both its area and population size, Baden- Württemberg is the third biggest among the 16 German States. The state population is 11 million. It is the third largest in Germany after North-Rhine Westphalia (17.93 million) and Bavaria (13.07 million) and is larger than individual population of 15 as many as other member states of the EU. (For more detail: Annexure – 1 & 2). Salient Features of Baden-Württemberg Geography: Baden-Württemberg with an area of 35,751 sqkm is characterized by a distinct landscape. In the West, the scenery is characterized by the Black Forest and the Rhine Plain, in the South by Lake Constance and the ridge of the Alps, in the East by the Swabian Alb hills, and in the North by the Hohenloh plain and the uplands of the Kraichgau region. Forest makes up around 40 per cent of Baden-Württemberg’s total area. People: The people of Baden-Württemberg are known for their innovative spirit and industriousness which largely compensates them for lack of natural resources in BW. Their skills and expertise, commitment to industry, science, education, culture have transformed South west Germany into one of the world’s most successful regions. The total foreign population of Baden-Württemberg is over 1.6 million (11%), making Baden- Württemberg one of the most immigrant-rich of Germany’s flatland states.

  • The Formulation of Nazi Policy Towards the Catholic Church in Bavaria from 1933 to 1936
    CCHA Study Sessions, 34(1967), 57-75 The Formulation of Nazi Policy towards the Catholic Church in Bavaria from 1933 to 1936 J. Q. CAHILL, Ph.D. This study concentrates on the relations between church and state in Bavaria as a problem for Nazi policy-makers at the beginning of Nazi rule. Emphasizing the Nazi side of this problem provides a balance to those studies which either condemn or defend the actions of church leaders during the Nazi period. To understand the past is the first goal of historians. A better understanding of the attitudes and actions of National Socialist leaders and organizations toward the Catholic Church will provide a broader perspective for judging the actions of churchmen. Such an approach can also suggest clues or confirm views about the basic nature of Nazi totalitarianism. Was National Socialism essentially opposed to Catholicism ? Was its primary emphasis on domestic policy or on foreign policy ? Perhaps basic to these questions is whether Nazism was monolithic in its ruling structure or composed of diverse competing groups. I believe that the question of Nazi church policy is worth studying for its own sake, but it has further implications. The materials used for this study are mainly microfilms of documents from the Main Archive of the National Socialist German Worker's Party in Munich, and from the files of the Reich Governor in Bavaria. An important part of these documents is made up of police reports, which, however, include more than mere descriptions of crimes and charges. But the nature of this material poses the danger of emphasizing those elements for which we have the most documentation.
