Killed at 26. Richard Hüttig’s life was tragically cut short. He became a victim of the Nazi regime’s terror. Here lies a man who stood against injustice. Richard Hüttig, a communist and anti-fascist, rests here. He was born in 1908 and executed in Berlin-Plötzensee in 1934. Richard Hüttig was a central figure in the trial surrounding the death of SS officer Kurt von der Ahé. Von der Ahé died on February 1, 1934. Before the trial, Hüttig endured brutal mistreatment by the SA in the Columbia-Haus concentration camp. Although the court couldn’t uphold the murder charge, they still sentenced him to death on February 16, 1934. The court’s own statement admitted doubt that Hüttig fired the fatal shot. Richard Hüttig, a 26-year-old worker, became the first victim of the Nazi terror regime’s justice system in Plötzensee. He was executed with a hand axe. The path to the Plötzensee Memorial, Hüttigpfad, is named in his honor. His grave isn’t here at this memorial, but at the Südwestfriedhof Stahnsdorf, in the Charlottenburg block, field 9, row 146. A memorial plaque for Richard Hüttig is located at Seelingstraße 21, near Schloss Charlottenburg. It’s a testament to his courage and sacrifice in the face of tyranny. Remember Richard Hüttig.
