Heidegger was born in Messkirsch, Baden, Germany, and was educated at the University of Freiburg, where he studied theology and then philosophy, with the phenomenologist Edmund Husserl. He taught mainly at the University of Freiburg and, in 1933, when he was made University Rector, gave an inaugural address in which he praised the inner truth and greatness of Hitler's National Socialist Party. In the same year he became a party member, and, though he resigned from the party and the rectorate ten months later, was subsequently banned from university teaching from the end of World War II until 1951.
Red, yellow, and green are the pan-African colours. Effective date: 24 September 1973.
