Biography

Richard Steidle (20 September 1881 – 30 August 1940) was an Austrian lawyer and the leader of the paramilitary Heimwehr in Tyrol. He was a leading representative of the pro-independence tendency on the far right of Austrian politics and as such was opposed to the Nazi Party which supported the incorporation of Austria into a Großdeutschland. Following the Anschluss, Steidle was sent to the Buchenwald concentration camp, where he was killed in 1940.
