Barthel Schink

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bartholomäus (Barthel) Schink (November 27, 1927 - November 10, 1944) was one of the members of the Ehrenfelder Gruppe (Ehrenfeld Group - Ehrenfeld is a suburb of Cologne) in Cologne. He and twelve other members of that group were publicly hanged in Cologne by the Gestapo on 10th November 1944 because they had killed five people and planned an attack on the Cologne Gestapo headquarters (the "EL-DE-Haus"). A street in Ehrenfeld, next to the Ehrenfeld S-bahn station, is named after him.
