Section 3 from article "Hans Haustein"

Haustein arbeitete auch wissenschaftlich und galt als einer der wichtigsten Experten bei der Bekämpfung von Geschlechtskrankheiten. Er veröffentlichte ab 1916 über 70 Arbeiten, darunter bedeutende wie Die Geschlechtskrankheiten einschließlich der Prostitution und Die Frühgeschichte der Syphilis. Von 1921 bis 1923 war er Mitarbeiter der Zeitschrift Soziale Hygiene, Fürsorge und Krankenhauswesen. Ab 1932 leitete er die historische Sektion der Abteilung für Genetik des Kaiser-Wilhelm-Instituts für Hirnforschung in Berlin-Buch.

Durch die Machtergreifung der Nationalsozialisten 1933 verlor Haustein schlagartig seinen großbürgerlichen Status und sah sich der Diskriminierung und Verfolgung ausgesetzt. Seine kassenärztliche Zulassung wurde ihm entzogen und er musste Hausdurchsuchungen und Verhöre über sich ergehen lassen. Am 7. Juli 1933 wurde er zusammen mit anderen jüdischen und politisch missliebigen Ärzten verhaftet und in einem provisorischen Konzentrationslager schwer misshandelt. Haustein machte sich nach diesen Erfahrungen keine Illusionen über sein Schicksal als Jude. Als ihn die Gestapo am 12. November 1933 abermals verhaften wollte, tötete er sich selbst durch Zyankali.

Haustein also worked academically and he was considered as one of the leading experts in combating venereal diseases. From 1916 on, he published over 70 works, among others important ones like "the venereal diseases including prostitution" and "the early history of syphilis". From 1921 until 1923 he worked for the magazine "social hygiene, welfare and hospital care". From 1932 he headed the historical section of the Department for Genetics at the Kaiser Wilhem Insitute for brain research in Berlin-book.

Because of the takeover of the National Socialists in 1933, Haustein suddenly lost his upper middle-class status and was exposed to discrimination and persecution. His medical license was revoked and he had to endure house searches and interrogations. On July 7 1933, he was arrested together with other Jewish and politically unpopular doctors and was severely maltreated in a provisional concentration camp. After these experiences, Haustein had no illusions about his fate as a Jew. When the Gestapo tried to arrest him again on November 12 in 1933, he committed suicide with cyanide.

Life

Karen Köhler was born in the Barmbek district of Hamburg. She is the daughter of a firefighter and a geriatric nurse. After graduating from high school, she studied acting at the Academy of Music and Theater in Bern. She worked as an actress until 2014, first in permanent positions and then as a freelancer. In 2008, she began working as an author (drama and prose) and illustrator.

In 2010 she became a member of the Hamburg Authors Forum and in 2011 she received the Hamburg Literature Prize. She was invited to give a reading at the Ingeborg Bachmann Prize ceremony in 2014 and reveived special attention as she was not allowed to attend the event because she had chickenpox. Out of solidarity with her, there was a spontaneous, unofficial reading of Karen Köhler’s text “Il Comandante“ at Klagenfurt Lendhafen after the first day of readings, which was broadcasted on the Internet via livestream. This text is part of her collection of stories “Wir haben Raketen geangelt“. After its publication in summer 2014, it reached position 36 on the bestseller list (hardcover fiction), was nominated for the Aspects Literature Prize and was translated into several languages. Subsequently, Köhler received various scholarships and stays abroad.

From 2013 to 2015 she wrote a series of plays (hero trilogy) for the DNT Weimar dealing with the topic of right-wing extremism, which have since been performed in theatres throughout Germany.

In 2019, Köhler was nominated for the German Screenplay Award for her screenplay Cowboy & Indianer, which was awarded at the 2019 Berlin National Film Festival.

She received several scholarships, including a one-year scholarship from the German Literature Fund, for her debut novel Miroloi. Miroloi was published in 2019 by Carl Hanser Verlag and was on the longlist for the 2019 German Book Prize.

Karen Köhler lives in Hamburg.
