Rudolf Schlauch – Wikipedia

Bruno Rudolf Hose (Born May 9, 1909 in Rüdern, a district of Eßlingen am Neckar, † February 24, 1971 in Bächlingen) was a pastor in Hohenlohe and became known as a historian, folklorist and author of local history writings.

Rudolf Schlauch’s father was Otto Hose, his mother Marie Hose, born Pfannenschmid. He had a brother named Gerhard six years younger. First, Rudolf Schlauch strived for the officer career. After graduating from high school in March 1928, however, he started studying theology in Tübingen. He spent two foreign semesters in Berlin and Marburg. In addition to the theological courses, he also attended lectures in art history and history. He completed his studies with the first theological official examination in February 1932. Subsequently, hose worked as a vicar in Kleineislingen, as a parishman in Eberdingen and from March 1933 as a constant vicar in Plochingen. In March 1934 he became a parishman in Bächlingen, a sub -community of Langenburg. In the spring of 1935 he passed the second theological official exam and in September of the same year he became a pastor in Bächlingen. This parish office was interrupted by his military service, which he initially made on the French border from 1939, later on Sylt and in a station in Wilhelmshaven. In 1942 he was promoted to the lieutenant captain and subsequently undertook frequent business trips in occupied Europe for the Wehrmacht High Command and the Navy’s High Command. However, a severe, repeating leg injury that he had suffered from an artillery battle in September 1939, forced him again and again. At the beginning of April 1945, he was released from the hospital in Schwäbisch Hall and returned to Bächlingen. He took up his work as a pastor and kept them until his death in 1971. In the post -war years, hose was strongly committed to the reconstruction of Bächlingen and the compensation of war victims. In addition, Rudolf Schlauch, as a historian, folklorist and author of numerous travel guides and Heimwrtsnung, worked over Hohenlohe, which earned him great recognition and increased Hohenloh’s awareness beyond the regional borders.

From April 1934, Rudolf Schlauch was married to Ingaruth Hose, née Engel (born July 31, 1913 in Baden-Baden, † May 8, 2003 in Crailsheim). The two had three sons: Wolfgang Schlauch (* 1935), Rezzo Hose (* 1947), the politician became, and Bernulf Schlauch (* 1953). Rudolf Schlauch lived in Bächlingen until his death in 1971. After that, Ingaruth hose continued the work of her late husband. ^[first]
