Franz Scholz

Franz Scholz (10 December 1909 – 1 September 1998) was a German priest and professor of theology from Breslau, Silesia.

In this office Schulz attended to the spiritual needs of Polish seasonal workers in the Silesian capital city.

In 1945, the eastern part of the city of Görlitz was split off and became known as Zgorzelec when the Polish-German border was redrawn.

Scholz went to the nearby city of Cottbus, but when it became part of the German Democratic Republic in 1949, he moved to West Germany.

He was especially opposed to the proposed beatification of the Primate of Poland, August Cardinal Hlond.
