Sigfried Uiberreither, a war criminal who escaped criminal justice - Part 1

1
Prologue

Text installation by the artist Jochen Gerz in the archway of the Graz Castle Gate, as a memorial to the Nazi era (2008) (engl. transl.):
Passerby, do you want to know where you stand? Do you want to know, innocent one, who you are?
How you bend and twist when you fall prey to power, become its plaything and its victim?
Do you want to know how you scream in pain?
I, Sigfried Uiberreither, also known as Friedrich Schönharting, worked here from June 9, 1938, to March 31, 1940.
As Governor of Styria and in the execution of my other offices, I was responsible for the deaths of many.
I did not do it alone. I did not do it myself. I had collaborators.
When you walk through this gate, do not feel shame only for me.
Who looked for me? Who brought me to justice?
Why did you remain silent?
Who made you a collaborator?
German language (original):
Textinstallation des Künstlers Jochen Gerz in der Bogenlaibung des Grazer Burgtors als NS-Mahnmal, 2008:
Passant, willst du wissen, wo du stehst? Willst du wissen, Unschuldiger, wer du bist? Wie du dich krümmst, wenn du der Macht verfällst, zu ihrem Spielball und Opfer wirst? Willst du wissen, wie du vor Schmerz schreist? Ich, Sigfried Uiberreither alias Friedrich Schönharting, ging hier vom 9. Juni 1938 bis 31. März 1940 meiner Arbeit nach. Ich brachte als Landeshauptmann der Steiermark und in der Ausübung meiner sonstigen Ämter viele Menschen um. Ich tat es nicht alleine. Ich tat es nicht selbst. Ich hatte Mitarbeiter. Wenn du durch das Tor gehst, schäme dich nicht nur für mich. Wer suchte nach mir? Wer stellte mich vor Gericht? Warum hast du geschwiegen? Wer hat dich zum Komplizen gemacht?
Univ.-Prof. Emeritus Dr. phil. Dr. h. c.

Sigfried Uiberreither (baptismal name: Siegfried Josef Überreiter; alias Friedrich Schönharting) (* March 29, 1908, in Salzburg; † December 29, 1984, in Sindelfingen) was an Austrian lawyer and high-ranking official in the Nazi regime, holding the rank of SA-Obergruppenführer. Among other positions, he served as Gauleiter, Reichsstatthalter, and Reich Defense Commissioner in Styria, where he was directly responsible for numerous Nazi crimes and for maintaining National Socialist rule. (source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigfried_Uiberreither, engl. transl.)
After World War II, Uiberreither escaped captivity undetected and successfully built a second life under the name Friedrich Schönharting in Sindelfingen, Baden-Württemberg, Germany, after secretly reuniting with his wife and sons.

Unfortunately, this excellently researched and magnificently written biography by Stefan Karner, titled “GAULEITER UIBERREITHER – ZWEI LEBEN (engl. transl.: “GAULEITER UIBERREITHER – TWO LIVES”), is currently available only in German.

Karner writes on page 29 of the Uiberreither biography (engl. transl.):
Siegfried Josef Überreiter was born on March 29, 1908, at 2:45 a.m., the second of five children born to Dipl. Ing. Josef and Maria Anna (Marianne) Überreither, at 12 Jahnstraße, Elisabeth-Vorstadt, in Salzburg, and was baptized Roman Catholic on March 31, 1908.
Stefan Karner included a footnote regarding the birth time. In the annotations on page 375, Karner writes (engl. transl.):
Astrologically, at the time of his birth, the Sun was in Aries, the Moon in Aquarius, and Capricorn along with Saturn appeared as ascendants in the second house. In short, this astrological constellation suggested, among other things, a pronounced individuality and sense of authority, coupled with ambition, perseverance, strong willpower, and stamina, as well as a striving for material and social power.
Karner based his interpretation of course on a birth chart calculated using the tropical zodiac.

Regarding the name change from Siegfried Überreiter to Sigfried Uiberreither, Stefan Karner writes on page 31 of the Uiberreither biography (engl. transl.):
His name change occurred during his first two semesters at university. At the beginning of his studies, he was still using the name Siegfried Überreiter, but starting in 1928—and in connection with his newly acquired knowledge of ancient Germanic mythology and linguistics gained in a lecture—he began using the archaic Germanic ‘Ui’ in place of the modern German ‘Ü,’ thereby becoming Uiberreiter. After about a year, he also dropped the initial ‘ie’ from his first name, changing it to Sigfried Uiberreiter. In 1933, on his doctoral graduation record, he added an ‘h’ to the ‘t’ in his surname and signed as Sigfried Uiberreither—the name he continued to use until 1948. The official approval for the name change from Überreiter to Uiberreither was granted by the Salzburg state government on May 4, 1933. In the years that followed, his immediate family and part of his extended family also adopted the new surname, which remains in use to this day.
I have tried to verify or calibrate the birth time of 2:45 a.m. mentioned in the biography (there was also a foto of the birth record provided) on the basis of two critical life events (death of father and mother). Then I validated the calibrated birth time on the basis of the event "marriage".

Minimizing the deviation from the exact symmetry of the event-related planetary pictures (planetary picture equations) was a key methodological criterion during the birth time calibration process. In no way do I claim to have found the "correct" time of birth of Uiberreither. I got the impression that the time of birth mentioned in the biography fits surprisingly well. I have only corrected the time of birth by half a minute (backwards).

But a problem arose that I couldn't solve by searching the Internet. Unfortunately, there is contradictory information regardng the date of death of Sigfried Uiberreither's father. The information source: https://www.sn.at/wiki/Sigfried_Uiberreither lists the date of death of Josef Uiberreither als July 25th, 1962.
But in the biography on page 464 ("short biographies of people close to Uiberreither") one can find the information that Josef Uiberreither died on July 30th, 1962. Later I will show why I prefer July 25th, 1962. My preference is based solely on astrology and could naturally be wrong.

According to https://www.sn.at/wiki/Sigfried_Uiberreither event "death of father":

† Dipl.-Ing. Josef Uiberreither
July 25th, 1962, Salzburg, Austria


Solar Return, Thu., 29 March 1962, 11:03:50 p.m.
Harmonic 4096

solar JU/NE (0°2'12") = natal JU/NE (0°4'52") = natal MA/SA (0°2'13")

H-8192: 0°2'38.20"
H-16384: 0°1'19.10"

0°4'52" - 0°2'38.20" = 0°2'13.8"
0°2'13.8" - 0°2'12" = 1.8" deviation from exact symmetry (d.f.e.s.)
0°2'13.8" - 0°2'13" = 0.8" d.f.e.s.

Lunar Return, Thu., 19 July 1962, 05:23:20 p.m.
Harmonic 8192


lunar JU/NE (0°0'7") = lunar SU (0°0'46") = natal JU (0°0'45")

H-16384: 0°1'19.10"
H-32768: 0°0'39.55"

0°0'7" - 0°0'39.55" = 0°0'46.55"
0°0'46.55" - 0°0'46" = 0.55" d.f.e.s.
0°0'46.55" - 0°0'45" = 1.55" d.f.e.s.

Secondary Progressions, Wed., 25 July 1962
Harmonic 512


secondary MA/SA (0°41'51") = natal JU/NE (0°20'41")

H-1024: 0°21'05.63"
H-2048: 0°10'32.81"

0°41'51" - 0°21'05.63" = 0°20'45.37"
0°20'45.37" - 0°20'41" = 4.37" d.f.e.s. (permitted orb with Harmonic 512: 15")

Image



For comparison purposes I will show beneath the result, when we take July 30th, 1962 as date of death of the father:


Secondary Progressions, Mon., 30 July 1962
Harmonic 512


secondary MA/SA (0°42'9") ≠ natal JU/NE (0°20'41")

H-1024: 0°21'05.63"
H-3048: 0°10'32.81"

0°42'9" - 0°21'05.63" = 0°21'3.37"
0°21'3.37" - 0°20'41" = 22.37" d.f.e.s. (exceeds the permitted orb of 15")

Image


The astrological comparison supports the date of death July 25th, 1962.



Transit, Wed., 25 July 1962
Harmonic 2048


transit JU/NE (0°10'06") = natal JU/NE (0°10'08")
resulting in: 2" d.f.e.s.


Image


Again, for comparison purposes I will show beneath the result, when we take July 30th, 1962 as date of death of the father:


Transit, Mon., 30 July 1962
Harmonic 2048


transit JU/NE (0°9'9") ≠ natal JU/NE (0°10'8")
resulting in: 59" d.f.e.s. (Calculation: 0°10'8" - 0°9'9")
permitted orb with Harmonic 2048: 4"


Image



So again we can see that the death date July 25th, 1962 astrologically looks much better then July 30th, 1962.

3°48'42" - 1°24'22.50" = 2°24'19.5"
2°24'19.5" - 2°22'13" = 2'6.5" d.f.e.s.

3°47'23" - 1°24'22.50" = 2°23'0.5"

Validation of the calibrated birth time based on the marriage event

Under the chapter “The Reign”, on page 79 of the biography and in the section titled “Wedding – Family”, Karner further notes (engl. transl.):
At the wedding on May 6, 1939, alongside the couple’s relatives, the most prominent representatives of the Party and the region were in attendance.

Solar Return, Thu., 30 March 1939, 01:20:55 a.m.
Harmonic 64


solar MN (0°25'42") = solar CU (0°25'55") = natal MO (4°37'48") = natal CU/KR (1°49'50") = solar ME/KR (1°49'4") = solar JU/SA (4°37'1")

H-128: 2°48'45"
H-256: 1°24'22.50"

4°37'48" - 2°48'45" = 1°49'3"
1°49'50" - 1°49'3" = 47" d.f.e.s.

4°37'48" - 2°48'45" - 1°24'22.50" = 0°24'40.5"
0°25'42" - 0°24'40.5" = 1'1.5" d.f.e.s.
0°25'55" - 0°24'40.5" = 1'14.5" d.f.e.s.

4°37'1" - 2°48'45" = 1°48'16"
1°49'50" - 1°48'16" = 1'34" d.f.e.s.

0°25'55" - 0°25'42" = 13" d.f.e.s.

Interested readers can carry out futher calculations here and below to determine the deviations from the exact symmetry within the planetary picture equation(s).

Thank you for your kind words!
Yes, I consider to contact Stefan Karner. I will send him the two links of my postings about this vile war criminal Uiberreither who has been up to his terrible mischief in Styria during the Nazi era.

Stefan Karner is one of the very, very few "brave" scientists who dare to openly write statements with regard to astrology in a scientific book! Who else dares such a thing??

Best wishes
Zachariel
