Barthel Schink
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bartholomäus (Barthel) Schink (November 27, 1927 - November 10, 1944) was a member of the Edelweiss Pirates, active in the Ehrenfeld Group (Ehrenfeld is a suburb of Cologne) in Cologne, which resisted the Nazi regime. He was among the thirteen members of that group who were publicly hanged in Cologne by the Gestapo on 10 November 1944. Although they were not tried, the group was accused of killing five people and planning an attack on the local Gestapo headquarters (the "EL-DE-Haus").
A street in Ehrenfeld, next to the Ehrenfeld S-bahn station, is named after Schink.
