Summary/Abstract: The contribution presents the publication of a recently discovered Curriculum Vitae of Andreas Schmidt, leader of the national-socialist transylvanian-saxon "Volksgruppe" (ethnic group) in Romania. He wrote this CV as part of an application to get the admission of the Nazi SS to marry, even though he wasn't formally a member of the SS until January 1945. The fact that he voluntarly submitted this application shows how servile he was towards the SS. But the CV presents the self-image Schmidt wanted to present about himself. The contribution consists of a short introduction, a critically comented publication of the CV and one image (reproduction of the first page).
