Hans Paasche

Welcome

Beginning

This webproject started 2005 in Toronto (Canada) as an initiative of Gottfried Paasche and Kamil Kolata. It was inspired by the collaboration of the “Jugendburg Ludwigstein” in Hessen (Germany) and the Highschool “Gimnazjum im. Polskich Noblistów” in Krzyż (Poland), but also by the efforts of Helga Paasche to preserve her fathers legacy and Werner Lange’s and Jerzy Giergielewicz’s writings on Hans Paasche.

Hans Paasche
