Hermann Böse

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hermann Böse (May 4, 1870 – July 17, 1943) was a music teacher at the Hermann-Böse-Gymnasium, which was named after him. He was also conductor of the ultra left "Workers - Singing Union in Bremen".

Since Böse was a convinced communist he was arrested in 1943 by the Gestapo. He died two days after he was released from the KZ Mißler. Till this day Böse is known as one of the most passionate resistance fighters of the KPD. The Hermann-Böse-Straße and the Hermann-Böse-Gymnasium (since 2005) in Bremen are named after him.
