1895 <\/strong>(26 April) Peter Julius J\u00fcrs is born in Hamburg as son of an innkeeper. He has five brothers and three sisters.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>1904<\/strong> After joining the predecessor to FC St. Pauli (Hamburg-St. Pauli-Turnverein), he begins to play football actively. Later, he engages himself on a voluntary basis, takes care of football teams and acts as treasurer temporarily.<\/p>\n

1910<\/strong> J\u00fcrs leaves the “Volksschule” (primary\/lower secondary school) and does an apprenticeship as printer. He later also works in this job.<\/p>\n

1915<\/strong> One year after the beginning of WWI, J\u00fcrs is conscripted to the German Army.<\/p>\n

1917<\/strong> J\u00fcrs is wounded at his left hand in Western Ukraine. This wound prevents him from returning to his job. He gets a pension as war-damaged which is not sufficient.<\/p>\n

1925<\/strong> After having worked as unskilled worker, typist and magazine worker for a chemicals company, J\u00fcrs commences a job as commercial clerk.<\/p>\n

1926<\/strong> Marriage with Karla Stelling. Three children are born to this couple.<\/p>\n

1937<\/strong> After twelve years, J\u00fcrs loses his job (according to a court record, he was accused of “touching customers for money”). He finds a new job as a civilian employee at the Hamburg military administration district. In this position, he is in charge of, among others, health books and deferment cards \u2013 and he begins to forge documents. By doing so, he helps Hamburgers (among them many St. Paulians) to escape from military service, thereby possibly saving their lives.<\/p>\n

1940<\/strong> (10 June) Peter J\u00fcrs is arrested under the suspicion of having forged military service documents in order to prevent conscriptions to the Wehrmacht.<\/p>\n

1941<\/strong> (January) J\u00fcrs is sentenced to death by the Hanseatic special court.<\/p>\n

1941<\/strong> (June) The penalty is changed into 15 years in penitentiary of which he has to do the first time in Bremen.<\/p>\n

1943<\/strong> (30 April) He is handed over to the Gestapo and committed to KZ Neuengamme. There, according to fellow prisoners, the former HSV star forward and SS man Otto “Tull” Harder takes J\u00fcrs “under his wings” and even goes on patrol with him. They have been known each other since their footballing days.<\/p>\n

1945<\/strong> Shortly before the end of the war, KZ Neuengamme is evacuated. In L\u00fcbeck, the prisoners are brought on board the ship “Cap Arkona”. At a large attack by the RAF on 3 May, the vessel is bombarded and sinks. Apparently, the bombers thought to have discovered a troop carrier. 4,600 persons on board are killed. One of them is Peter J\u00fcrs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
