Geschichte des Bestandsbildners: Hermin Esser
* 1. April 1928 in Rheydt
† 17. April 2009 in Wiesbaden-Naurod
Nach einer Grafiker-Lehre und einem abgebrochenen Architekturstudium begann Hermin Esser eine Ausbildung zum Opernsänger am Robert-Schumann-Konservatorium in Düsseldorf. 1954 trat er seine erste Stelle am Opernhaus in Krefeld an. 1957 wechselte er an die Komische Oper Berlin. 1961 kam er an das Staatstheater Wiesbaden, wo er sich ein großes Repertoire erarbeitete, vor allem aber alle Wagner-Partien. 1964 gab Hermin Esser sein festes Engagement in Wiesbaden auf und sang fortan nicht nur an deutschen Bühnen, sondern gab auch an Opernhäusern im Ausland umjubelte Gastspiele, so in Antwerpen, Barcelona, Bologna, Brüssel, Budapest, Catania, Chicago, Florenz, Genf, Genua, Graz, Lissabon, Mailand, Moskau, Neapel, Palermo, Parma, Rom, Salzburg, Stockholm, Triest, Venedig, Warschau, Wien, Zagreb, Zürich und Zug. Hermin Esser machte sich auch als Lieder-Interpret im In- und Ausland einen Namen. Zu den wichtigsten Ereignissen in seiner Künstler-Laufbahn gehören wohl seine Erfolge bei den Salzburger Osterfestspielen unter Herbert von Karajan und bei den Bayreuther Wagner-Festspielen.

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).
