Adolf Ehrecke (14 January 1900 – 12 April 1980) was a German schoolteacher and Nazi Party official who served as the Gauleiter in the Saar from 1929 to 1931 when it was being administered by France and the United Kingdom under a League of Nations mandate.
[2] Also in 1929, he was appointed a Studienassessor (probationary teacher in the civil service) but, later that year, the Governing Commission of the Saar suspended him from this teaching position for political agitation.
At the Nuremberg rally (1-4 August 1929) Hitler charged Ehrecke with reorganizing and reinvigorating the Party organization in the Saar region.
However, on 31 March 1931, due to his involvement in anti-Semitic propaganda, he was officially expelled from the educational service by the Saar's Governing Commission.
[3] Moving to Kiel in Germany, he obtained a teaching position and was employed from 1931 through 1944 as an educator there and in Görlitz, where he also became a member of the Stadtschulrat (City School Board).
