The building in the middle of the 1st postcard is the Reichsbank, Hamburg. At the 2nd card
its the building on the right side.
Where Rudolf Sprungmann spent his childhood and youth is based on the
left by his papers miscellany in secret. In 1916 he had an entry
in the phone book of the city of Altona (Hamburg), named for the first time. He was located at that time on Alsenplatz 5. Already in Prussian times there was a very extensive obligation for military personnel and civil servants to live near of the place of her employment. it may be reasonably ensured that he knew from this point on his service as District Sergeant (Bezirksfeldwebel) at the District Command II. in Altona in a military office-. The task of a District command was screening
(Landwehr) - recruits in a close cooperation with the civil authorities (eg the District). Usually the District command was leaded by a staff officer (usually the rank of Oberisten / Lieutenant Colonel). At what employment Rudolf Sprungmann was previously used, is unclear. He might probably occurred as a district sergeant taking into account the usual journey times by about 1905 in the military service. In this batch he received on 03/04/1918 by the Wilhelm II in November 1916, donated Merit Cross for War Aid -. A among the people (probably the optical appearance - War Metal - owed) unpopular award, which not infrequently
was returned by the recipient. It was felt to the makers of the Iron Cross on white-black band clearly reset as. The Cross for war aid was approximately 500,000 awarded by the end of the award period 1924 and can thus be regarded as Prussian mass Award, which has probably led to some excessive demands of the supported by handing out points - Sprungmann received the decoration as evidenced by the back handed endorsement on the certificate of possession (standard type "Kanitz") until 01.11.1918 had therefore thanked him like manner immediately before the collapse by the commander of the militia district II. kingdom. Also Sprungmann seems to have the Cross of Merit only moderately appreciated. Certainly he was owed by decision of the Director -the district headquarters was temporarily now the Supply office II Altona- on 01.27.1920 as so-called post-war ceremony, the EK on white-black belt by means of a hand-written testimony also owned his efforts. A possible delivery note does not exist.
More document types are known (eg modified "Kanitzvordruck", or created by the authority itself forms) for this award period. When and if Rudolf Sprungmann retired at their own request from military service or ex officio (the Treaty of Versailles saw a reduction of the army to 100,000 men before), could not be determined. During his last rank, it is likely to (he was a higher NCO rank) a lieutenant of Landwehr aD have acted (without an officer patent). As the owner of a so-called authorization bill - a privilege until today for longer serving military personnel he should in any case soon
have found a position in the public service as an official. In 1935 he ranked-as from the ownership certificate (03/14/1935) of the 1934 by President Hindenburg gestifteten Honour Cross for non-combatants (issued by the Chief of Police of Altona together with embossed seal) as an Reichsbankoberinspektor (= the same rank as an 1st. lieutenant) at the Reichsbank place in Hamburg and thus as a state bank official. It may be, therefore, occurred around 1930 as Reichsbankinspektor in the banking service. In the phone books of Altona 1939 - 1943 Sprungmann appears at the address Park Avenue 72 - probably a move because of the now higher remuneration for him. On 02.01.1939 he got the trust service - Medal for 25 years of service awarded; ( standard type with Meissner signature) , Donated by the Fuehrer and 3rd. Reich Chancellor Adolf Hitler in 1938. Rudolf Sprungmann should thereafter have not already been around 1897 in active military service, which is why a certificate of possession to Centenarmedaille missing. A few months later, on 1.9.1939 the second world war begins - another much more terrible privation and fuller war in his life. After early 1943 the 6th Army was setting in Stalingrad - a turning point of the war and Goebbels in his famous Sports Palace speech "total war" proclaimed, also Hamburg was target of Allied bombers, which were propagated as an important marine, armor center at this time able to attack almost any city in Germany. As part of the so-called Operation Gomorrah took place on 24 / 25th and 27 / 28.7. 1943 heaviest air strikes, which put a large part of Hamburg to rubble. Here also known as phosphor bombs and air mines ("residential block buster") were used, which were dropped on civilian residential areas. This should be morale of the German population are broken ("so-called Harris plan.") - One ultimately of Allied misconception which
100000 demanded of civilian casualties. Also, the Reichsbank building (made in the wilhelminic times) at the Alter Wall was not spared from the bombings. The total destruction has certainly prevented by his active involvement without regard to his own person and thus can be obtained millions for the Empire Rudolf Sprungmann.
Surely he had this other - though notably not best- known helpers.
The personal honor of his heroism, he got both by the Vice President, and by the President of the Reichsbank, Berlin (original signed by Walter Funk). Both letters were in the tangle.
Furthermore, he was (according to the statutes, since enemy action was) with the KVK 2nd class with swords mortgaged what he will possibly have been very proud. A certificate of possession for this purpose has not been preserved.
In the Altona phone books of the postwar period to 1947 - 1949 Rudolf S. is no longer listed. Whether he ultimately survived the war and was transferred to a civil servant of the Bundesbank , or is excreted as a so-loaded the NSDAP from the civil service, remains unclear. Further investigations in this regard are still pending.
