Biography
German poet, playwright, author, actor, editor, narrator, and translator. Because of his approving stance on National Socialism, his works are included in Nazi literature. Scholz's artistic work is today considered to be largely insignificant; as a poet he is almost forgotten.
Scholz graduated high school in 1892 and studied literature, history, and philosophy in Berlin, Lausanne, and Kiel. He received his doctorate from the Ludwig-Maximilians-University Munich in 1897. He became dramaturge and director of the Stuttgart State Theatre in 1916 and president of the section for poetry of the Prussian Academy of Arts in 1928.
During the Nazi occupation of Poland, he published a Nazi newspaper in Krakow. Scholz authored verse glorifying the Führer for an anthology of poetry as late as 1944. Finally, in June 1944, Scholz received an honorary doctorate from the Ruprecht-Karls University of Heidelberg and a grant of 30,000 marks from Adolf Hitler.
After the war, Scholz served as president and honorary president of the Association of German Playwrights and Composers. He received various badges and medals during the 1950s and 1960s.
Wilhelm von Scholz died on 29 May 1969 at age 94 in Konstanz. His poetry is marked by the mystical-occult.
