Heinrich Schoene (25 November 1889 – 9 April 1945) was a Nazi Party official, politician and member of the Reichstag.

In May 1928, he was charged with establishing the SA in Gau Schleswig-Holstein and was promoted in May 1929 to SA-Oberführer as head of SA-Gruppe Nordmark with headquarters in Kiel.

[4] Schoene was an advocate for a perceived extra-legal authority of the SA and, even after the Nazi seizure of power in 1933, he opposed the civil and legal authorities by disputing their jurisdiction in prosecuting his SA troops for breach of the peace, assault or unlawful detention of political opponents.

[6] On 1 February 1934, he was appointed Führer of SA-Gruppe Ostland, with headquarters in Königsberg (today, Kaliningrad), leading the SA in Gau East Prussia and Danzig.

[7] From 1 September 1941 to February 1944, Schoene served in the Reichskommissariat Ukraine as Generalkommissar for the Generalbezirk (general district) Volhynia-Podolia, headquartered in Lutz (today, Lutsk).

He was one of a number of SA officials selected for assignments in the occupied territories because of his administrative competence and because he was a committed Nazi whose ideological credentials were beyond question.

At a meeting in Lutz in August 1942, a complete liquidation of the ghettos was discussed on the orders of Reichskommissar Erich Koch.

In Schoene's capital, the Lutsk Ghetto was established in December 1941, where the residents suffered from overcrowding, cold and hunger.
