Abstract

The present study consists of a biographical outline of Father Georg Goebel who, between 1931 and 1940, put himself in the service of the German community in Bukovina. He built an orphan age in Czernowitz and became involved in the organization of the Catholic youth of Bukovina. The national-socialists of Bukovina saw him as a competitor. However, Goebel had the support of the German consul in Czernowitz, Fritz Schellhorn, for having successfully established a number of small German schools. After his repatriation/relocation to the German Reich he was denounced by the national-socialists of Bukovina. He nevertheless managed to avoid being arrested by the Gestapo following the intervention of high-ranking Catholic clergymen. Until the end of the war he served in Upper Silesia, being forced to leave that province after 1945.
