SCHULZ Adolphe

Karl Adolf Wilhelm SCHULZ was born in 1890 in Ludweiler/Saarbrücken as an illegitimate son of Maria SCHULZ.
He became a dentist and in 1913 he married Marie Anna HOFFMANN, daughter of an Anstreicher in Luxembourg-city.
The couple probably did not reside in Luxembourg until 1923/1924 when SCHULZ acquired a large piece of land in Lintgen with a view to setting up a fish farm.
The fish farm was indeed completed in 1934.

SCHULZ became Vorsitzender des Deutschen Wirtschaftausschusses in Luxembourg and in the mid-1930s he started openly sympathising with the NAZI regime. His pro-NAZI attitude got him involved in a defamation case, the so-called “Rosselet” case.
Although SCHULZ won the defamation case of 1937 which claimed that he was an active member of the NAZI party NSDAP, he later cooperated with the occupier by accepting in 1940 to become Ortsgruppenleiter und Bürgermeister of Lintgen.
In 1939 he created a company: “Pisciculture de Lintgen et Fischbach, Eigentümer: Dr. Ad. Schulz Lintgen und Fischbach Forellenzucht, Import und Export mit Fischen.”
In 1944 he escaped from Luxembourg but he was captured and taken to court and sentenced to 9 years in prison. The Lintgen fish farm was sequestered and became eventually the property of the State. It is currently (2023) the only fish farm in Luxembourg.
SCHULZ was arrested in 1946 and put in the prison of Luxembourg-Grund.
It is not known when he was released from prison and when and where he died.
One source claims that he had a son by the name of Carlos SCHULZ, born in Germany in 1911.
