Timeline
Haushofer was born in Munich, the son of the retired World War I general and geographer Karl Haushofer (1869–1946) and his wife Martha, née Mayer-Doss (1877–1946).
Albrecht had one brother, Heinz.
He studied geography and history at Munich University.
Albrecht Georg Haushofer (7 January 1903 – 23 April 1945) was a German geographer, diplomat, author and member of the German Resistance to Nazism.
Karl Haushofer was a frequent visitor to Landsberg Prison, where Hitler and Hess were jailed after the failed 1923 Beer Hall Putsch and Mein Kampf was written.
In 1924 he graduated with his thesis Paß-Staaten in den Alpen, Erich von Drygalski (1865–1949) was his supervisor.
Haushofer then worked as an assistant for Albrecht Penck.
A fellow student in geopolitics was Rudolf Hess, a very early follower of Adolf Hitler and close friend of Haushofer's father, Karl.
He held this position from 1928 to 1938.
Haushofer traveled the world in his official capacity, lecturing and gaining a wide experience of international affairs.
Obtaining an insight in Nazi politics, Haushofer from the mid 1930s onwards approached two German resistance circles.
Following the outbreak of World War II, Haushofer joined the conservative opponents around the Prussian finance minister Johannes Popitz; he also met with Peter Yorck von Wartenburg and Helmuth James Graf von Moltke from the Kreisau Circle opposition as well as people from the Red Orchestra group, whose Berlin leaders Arvid Harnack and Harro Schulze-Boysen had also taught at the Hochschule für Politik.
Haushofer was involved in Hess' attempts to negotiate peace with the French and British, acting as an intermediary.
He started teaching geopolitics at the Deutsche Hochschule für Politik (German Academy for Politics) in 1933, which had lost many of its teachers with the Nazi ascent to power.
He also served as an advisor at the Dienststelle Ribbentrop of the Nazi Party from 1934 until 1938, when the bureau was disbanded upon the appointment of Joachim von Ribbentrop as Foreign Minister.
Later, under the Nuremberg Laws of 1935 (effective from 1936), Albrecht Haushofer was categorized as a Mischling. However Hess, Deputy Führer since 1933, succeeded in having Haushofer issued a German Blood Certificate.
Albrecht Haushofer was made secretary general of the Gesellschaft für Erdkunde geographical society in Berlin and the editor of its periodical.
When the Academy was incorporated into the University of Berlin in 1940, he was made a professor at the Faculty for Foreign Studies (Auslandswissenschaftliche Fakultät).
Haushofer then until 1941 sometimes worked at the propaganda department of the German Foreign Office (Informationsabteilung des Auswärtigen Amtes).
It has been speculated that he may have encouraged Hess's 1941 flight to Scotland, but if so, it was a dangerous move: Hess's departure from Germany and subsequent arrest by the British meant that Haushofer's chief protector was no longer available.
Under suspicion to have helped Hess, Haushofer was put in prison for two months and then kept under Gestapo surveillance.
High-ranking members of the Nazi Party looked disapprovingly upon his half-Jewish mother.
He came to agree that the only way to prevent complete military and political disaster was to remove Hitler.
After the failed 1944 bomb plot Haushofer went into hiding, but was arrested at a farm in Bavaria on 7 December 1944.
In the night of 22/23 April 1945, as Red Army troops already entered Berlin, Albrecht Haushofer and other inmates like Klaus Bonhoeffer and Rüdiger Schleicher were shot in the neck by SS troopers on nearby Invalidenstraße.
His body was discovered by his brother Heinz on 12 May 1945.
One of the sonnets, titled Schuld or "Guilt", was on his person at the time of his execution.
Incarcerated in Berlin Moabit Prison, he wrote his Moabit Sonnets, posthumously published in 1946.
