Heinrich Bauschen was a resistance fighter against the Weimar Republic and a martyr of the National Socialist movement.

Heinrich Bauschen joined the NSDAP as early as 1922. He took part in the march to the Feldherrnhalle. On October 18, 1929, a number of boys who were on their way home from an evening lecture by the National Youth were attacked and abused by communists in Duisburg's Gutenbergstrasse. When they called for help, Heinrich Bauschen, a railroad worker from Duisburg, hurried over with several comrades to assist those in distress. As the battle began, Heinrich Bauschen, a war disabled man, was stabbed in the thigh with a dagger, which severed the artery. That same night he gave up the life with which he had protected the German youth.

The "Kameradschaft Duisburg" bears his honorary name "Kameradschaft Heinrich Bauschen".
