Dr. Carl Heinrich Bobleter

Bobleter was born the son of secondary school principal Karl Bobleter and graduated from grammar school in Feldkirch in 1931. During this time, he joined the Catholic secondary school fraternity Clunia Feldkirch. He then studied at the law and political science faculties of the universities of Innsbruck (Dr. iur. 1935), where he joined the student fraternity Austria Innsbruck, in Vienna, where he joined the Marco-Danubia in 1933/34, and in Frankfurt/Main. Later - from 1940 to 1943 - he also studied at the Vienna University of World Trade.

From 1937 to the end of 1938, Carl Heinrich Bobleter was an employee at Creditanstalt-Bankverein. During this time (until March 1938), he applied for admission to the diplomatic service, but the Anschluss thwarted these efforts. At the beginning of 1939, he was drafted into the German Wehrmacht. For a time, he worked as an interpreter in the Kaisersteinbruch prisoner-of-war camp (Burgenland), where mainly French people were interned, whom he was able to help as much as possible. There he was part of a resistance group in which Max Riccabona (Traungau Graz student fraternity), also an interpreter, was also involved. On April 27, 1945, he was taken prisoner of war, from which he was released on August 25, 1945. He then worked for the US military government in Salzburg as a legal advisor and liaison to the Austrian authorities.
