HERIBERT KLUGER, PRIEST - 18 JANUARY

HERIBERT KLUGER, PRIEST

Heribert Kluger was born Eduard Kluger on July 25, 1881 in Neu Zechsdorf, Austrian Silesia.

After studying theology in Olomouc, Eduard Kluger entered the Teutonic Order on September 15, 1903 and was given the religious name Heribert. In 1905 he was ordained a priest in Brixen.

Father Heribert Kluger had been teaching in Freudenthal since 1911 as a professor of religion at the local high school and had headed the Teutonic Order Hospital there since 1931. On February 27, 1939, a decree was issued dissolving the Teutonic Order in the Sudetenland. The Teutonic Order castle in Freudenthal had to be evacuated. Father Heribert Kluger was forced to retire as a religious teacher because of his public rejection of National Socialism. In September 1944 he was arrested by the Gestapo for “subversive sermons” and allegedly listening to “enemy radio stations” and imprisoned in Troppau. There he was initially used as a forced laborer in road construction and later transferred to the Dachau concentration camp. Father Heribert Kluger died there on January 18, 1945. In the book “The Dead of Dachau” published by the General Prosecutor’s Office for Restitution in Munich, he is listed in the section “Despair, Exhaustion, Hunger, Epidemics, etc.”

Father Heribert Kluger is one of the martyrs of the Roman Catholic Church in the 20th century and was included in the German martyrology of the 20th century.

The civil administrator threatened to boil them in oil if they did not tell the Lady’s secret. Though badly frightened, they could not think of disobeying our Lady.
