Die Biographie Fritz Kiehns (1885–1980) umfaßt beinahe einhundert Jahre deutscher Geschichte. Nach beträchtlichem wirtschaftlichen Erfolg mit seiner Zigarettenpapierfabrik Efka wird Fritz Kiehn bereits 1930 zu einem rührigen Aktivisten und bedeutenden Geldgeber der NSDAP. Als Kreisleiter wurde er 1932 Mitglied des Reichstags für die Fraktion der NSDAP, 1943 durch die Gauleitung zum Präsidenten der Württembergischen Wirtschaftskammer bestellt. Höhepunkt der Funktionärs- und Unternehmerkarriere war die Mitgliedschaft des SS-Hauptsturmführers Fritz Kiehn im Persönlichen Stab Himmlers. Trotz der Teilnahme an der nationalsozialistischen „Arisierung der Wirtschaft“ stufte das Entnazifizierungsverfahren Kiehn schließlich als Mitläufer ein.

Work Description
Entrepreneur and Nazi functionary Fritz Kiehn lived through almost 100 years of German history, from the Bismarck era to the late Bonn Republic. A successful manufacturer, Kiehn joined the Nazi Party in 1930 and obtained a number of influential posts after 1933, making him one of the most powerful Nazi functionaries in southern Germany. These posts allowed him ample opportunity to profit from “Aryanizations” and state contracts. After 1945, he restored his reputation, was close to Adenauer’s CDU during Germany’s economic miracle, and was a respected and honored citizen in Trossingen. Kiehn’s biography provides a key to understanding the political upheavals of the twentieth century, especially the workings of the corrupt Nazi system as well as the “coming to terms” with National Socialism in the Federal Republic.
