After his active career, Schmeling lived on a country estate in Hollenstedt, where he was a respected figure until his death in 2005. His name is still closely linked to the place today, which is reflected in street names and memorials. This veneration often overlooks the fact that Schmeling, despite his rejection of the National Socialists(!), played an ambivalent role during the Nazi era. Especially at a time when many communities are actively dealing with their history, it would be appropriate to take a more differentiated view of Schmeling's legacy. It is known that he refused to join the NSDAP and protected his Jewish friends.
