AnDie,

Rauter is a mystery. He is not listed in either the k.u.k. or the k.k. Landwehr lists!

Regards
Glenn

This is what i could find in the trial of Rauter (which is published as a book in Holland:
1st world war, he was a voluntier and became leutnant and oberleutnant in the first Kaiserschützenregiment in Klagenfurt.
He fought in Istrië, the Piavefrotn and in Albania.

Then he startet 2x a freikorps. First at the request of the Karintische Landesregierung a freikorps of ca 2500 students and officers against "Jugoslavischen Eindringlinge".

After that he formed at the request of the provincial government of Nieder-Österreich a freikorps consisting of 30000 which occupied the Burgenland.

Then he was one of the co-founders of the Heimatschutz, who came in action twice: first in 1926 as a result of the strike ordered by Dr. Otto Bauer, then a big march in Wiener Neustad in 1928.. He then became stabschef in the völkische Heimatschutzwehr.

Since 1921 he knew Hitler and he also was a member of the NSDAP Österrreich. He became SS member and became stabführer, Stellvertreter des SS-Obergruppenführers von dem Bach Zelewski, teh Führer of Oberabschnittes Südost. (before 1939, sorry, no preciser date) I know that after the banning of the party in Austria in 1933 he left Austria for Germany. On 25 of May 1940 he was appointet as "Höhere SS- und Polizeiführer beim Reichskommisariat für die besetzte niederl¨ndische Gebiete". In this function he also was th"Generalkomissar für das Sicherheitswesen". He was in this function untill 6-3-1945 when he was seriously injured in an attack by the resistance. He was still not completely healed when he was transferred to Holland in february 1946. He was tried from april 1948 and finaly (after 2 appeals) executed on 25-3-1949.

I hope this was at least a little bit helpfull. Should you have any further questions, let me know!

Rauter is a mystery. He is not listed in either the k.u.k. or the k.k. Landwehr lists!
Glenn, check for other variations of his surname: RAUTAR, RAVTAR or RAVTER. Also RAVBAR or RAVBER. Being born in Klagenfurth in 1895 there is a good chance that he had some Slovenian ancestors (like Friedrich Rainer, Johann Mikl -> Mickl, Odilo Globocnik -> Globocnigg) and therefore hit is possible that his surname was spelled in the k.u.k or k.k. Schematismus differently than in 1930s or 1940s, when he probably changed it to sound more German.

Hello Axel67, I got your mail but wasn't able to reply earlier.
There is a specialist in The Netherlands on Hans Rauter. Theo Gerritse has been working on a biography on Rauter since 2007 under the supervision of NIOD institute in Amsterdam, the Dutch institute for war and holocaust. The biography was due late 2013, but apparantly isn't ready yet. I know Gerritse has done extensive research in Austria.
I have no address of Gerritse, but you could try to contact him through his supervisor, prof. dr. Johannes Houwink ten Cate at NIOD.
As links to sites seem to be blocked, I suggest you go to the site of niod dot nl. Under Home and then Medewerkers you will find his name.
There is also a page on the Rauter project under Onderzoek.
I hope my information is of some use.
Best wishes, Richard (rschuur)

It's taken a while, but the biography on Rauter Theo Gerritse has been working on for so long has been published on October 24 by Uitgeverij Boom. So far in Dutch only. Gerritse received a doctorate for his study from the University of Amsterdam.
The biography details Rauter's Austrian career in part 1, explaining how he was formed by events pre and after World War I. Section 2 covers his five years as HHSPF in The Netherlands until the attack on him (described in full in my own book 'Spoor naar Woeste Hoeve' in 2012). The third part 3 details the trail in 1948, resulting in the death penalty executed on March 25 1949.

The 748 page book is called 'Rauter - Himmlers fist in The Netherlands'. I have just started reading...

This biography is quite disappointing.
Theo Gerritse who works since many years on this thema, write page 32 that albin Rauter has 5 Brothers or sisters and give the name and dates.
it is well known that they were 9 Brothers and sisters ( 8 living ).
Why did he forget 2 Brothers from Albin Rauter ? Did he forget or change other informations in his book? We may have questions ?

Léocadij Janez Anton RAUTER 1891-1968
Hubert Jakob RAUTER 1892-1964
Josef Franz RAUTER 1893-1893
Hans Albin RAUTER 1895-1949
Adolphine RAUTER 1897-1978
Heliodor RAUTER 1900-1980
Josef RAUTER 1902-1982
johanna Franziska 1902-1983
frederike juliana 1908-1999

You are a triple As , the original name was Rafter, The family changed it to Rauter because it sounds more german.

748 pages yet you base your opinion on something on page 32?

All authors of books make mistakes here and there. I’m sure it’s probably a highly detailed study at 748 pages! Alas, not in English. Sure wish I’d gotten myself schooling in other languages when I was young. Maybe someday. The other book I hope gets an English translation is the one on Werner Best by Herbert.

I'm going to read it, even though I can't read Dutch. If you know German and run it through a translator , and check the strange/unintelligible passages in the text with your German, the Dutch text becomes possible to understand - It'll take alot of time but I think it will be worth the effort

It is a very big study. I do not deny it.
But when you write one page with foot notes about the brother and sister of the personnage . And when you " forget " to mentions two of them willingly . Especially one who lived in France with another Identity . you may have some questions about the all book !
