Curriculum Vitae
Franz Weissl attended elementary school in Eberschwang. In 1936, he graduated from grammar school in Ried, where he became a member of the secondary school fraternity Rugia Ried, and entered the Augustinian canons' monastery in Reichersberg. There he takes the religious name Lambert. He goes to St. Florian to study theology.
Shortly after graduating, Lambert Weissl is visited by his schoolmate Alfred Kislinger
You Nazisozi, let me tell you,
you will not have us for a long time yet.
You will be thrown out of the country,
that you are shitting your pants.O Austria, my fatherland,
the Führer's hand has defiled you.
You comrades of the people, vote "no",
so that it may become pure again!Hitler is a bastard,
he founded the Nazi League.
He cowardly invaded our country,
so, O people, vote "no!"The legionnaires,
yes, they don't come as millionaires,
starved like a bone,
since they smelled Hitler's wind;Bürkel wants to do the election campaign,
so the chickens must laugh.
Every crook asks for bread,
when he is in great need,because you people must remember,
there is no ham outside,
no butter and no fat,
so how nice!
This process is observed by a woman. She then denounced the two young lads. They were both arrested on April 2, 1938. Lambert Weissl was detained for three months, which he served in Linz, before being transferred to Dachau concentration camp on August 8, 1938.
After his release, he completed his theological studies as a "black student" at the Faculty of Theology at the University of Vienna. Here he was secretly admitted to the student fraternity Kürnberg in a highly secretive "illegal" pub on 6 April 1940, making him a member alongside Anton Nöbauer and Ernst Aigner among the members admitted in secret at the time.
