Lecture: National Socialist municipal politics in Freiburg under Mayor Franz Kerber

Franz Kerber: a convinced National Socialist and yet a "normal" mayor of Freiburg? In his lecture "Career under National Socialism" at the Documentation Center for National Socialism, Wulf Rüskamp breaks with such widespread notions. Kerber's path to the town hall was associated with violence, breaches of the law and decisive support from the NSDAP district leader Robert Wagner - even in the face of local resistance from his own party. Kerber's political career provides an instructive example, especially in times of endangered democracy. Admission is free of charge. The number of participants is limited. It is necessary to book a free event ticket in the online store.
