Albanus Schachleiter

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hitler greeted Benedictine Abbot Albanus Schachleitner and Ludwig Müller – the Protestant Archbishop of Nuremberg – at a Nazi Party event in 1934.

Reverend Albanus Schachleiter (January 20, 1861 – June 20, 1937) was a German Benedictine monk and abbot emeritus of the Prague Emmaus Monastery.[1]

Schachleiter, a Catholic monk from Mainz, was a close friend of Adolf Hitler,[1] the leader of Germany responsible for World War II and the Holocaust which killed at least 6,000,000 Jews (67% European Jews).[2][3][4]

Schachleiter died on 20 June 1937 at Feilnbach in Upper Bavaria.[1] Hitler ordered a state funeral for him.[1]
