Vorwort Peter Lankes (3.8.1877-1.7.1954) war vom 1.4.1914 bis zum 31.3.1934 Hauptlehrer bzw. Rektor der katholischen Volksschule Schultheißenhof in Viersen, von 1922 bis 1933 auch Vorsitzender der Viersener Zentrumspartei.Als er sich nach der Machtergreifung der Nationalsozialisten weigerte, der N.S.D.A.P. beizutreten, wurde er nach Duisburg-Laar zwangsversetzt und zum Volksschullehrer degradiert. Nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg berief ihn Regierungspräsident Sträter mit Zustimmung der Militärregierung als Schulrat nach Viersen, wo er am 23.7.1945 die Geschäfte von Schulrat Salzberger übernahm. Seine endgültige Ernennung erfolgte am 30.10.1946 rückwirkend zum 1.8.1946. Am 22.8.1948 konnte er (im Alter von 71 Jahren) sein 50jähriges Lehrerjubiläum begehen und trat am 30.9.1949 in den Ruhestand. Er war Träger des päpstlichen Ordens PRO ECCLESIA ET PONTIFICE sowie des Hohen Ordens vom hl. Sebastian (LAV NRW Hauptstaatsarchiv Düsseldorf BR-Pe 2298).
The Bundeszentralkartei (BZK) is the central register of the federal government and federal states for completed compensation proceedings. When a claim is entered into the BZK, a number is assigned for unique identification. This BZK number refers to a compensation claim, not to a person. If a person has made several claims (e.g. for themselves and for relatives), each claim generally has its own BZK number. Often, the file number of the respective compensation authority is used as the BZK number.
This number is important for making an inquiry to the relevant archive.
Delict according to Nazi judicial system
Conduct that was first criminalized under National Socialism (e.g. the Treachery Act, ‘Judenbegünstigung’) or which the Nazi judiciary prosecuted more severely (e.g. high treason).
Reason for persecution
The reasons provided here are based on the wording in the reasons for persecution stated in the sources.
Role in the proceeding
‘Verfolgt’ refers to a person who submitted a compensation claim for damage caused by Nazi persecution. If the application was submitted by a person other than the persecuted person, this other person is designated as ‘antragstellend’ and their relationship to the persecuted person, if there is one, is noted. In the sources, the persecuted person is sometimes referred to as ‘Geschädigter’ (aggrieved party) and the applicant as ‘Anspruchsberechtigter’(claimant).
