Lösch was a member of the "Confessing Church" (Bekennende Kirche), a Protestant group that spoke out openly against Adolf Hitler and was led by Martin Niemöller.
Due to the deprivations of this illegal existence, he died, just days after World War II had ended, from scarlet fever in Ratzeburg.
After Lösch finished University, he moved to Kiel, Germany, to work as a part-time professor and researcher at Institut für Weltwirtschaft while his wife and family remained in Heidenheim.
[5] In regard to his political and religious stance, Lösch was a part of the "Confessing Church" known as "Bekennende Kirche", which was a Protestant group against Nazi Germany under the ruling of Adolf Hitler.
[6] When World War Two began, he resisted to emigrate, leaving him with the only choice: to go into hiding in Ratzeburg, to continue his research anti-nazi work.
Unfortunately, the end of his life was devastating; due to his impoverished state and weak health, he caught the scarlet fever infection and passed away shortly after without any of his loved ones or friends by his side.
His personal life indeed shows his undying motivation, creativity, passion and loyalty towards his promise to further scientific discoveries and fundamental theory.
Furthermore, Lösch is also known for the way in which he studied economic spatial interactions and structures, as he typically began with abstract theoretical paradigms on regions and spatial-economic behavior rather than evidence-based formations, as previous economists had used.
