Albert Pantenburg

Albert Peter Pantenburg (born December 9, 1875 in Hillesheim ; † October 18, 1933 in Lingen (Ems) ) was a German administrative lawyer and parliamentarian.

Life

Pantenburg was the son of a post administrator. After graduating from high school in Trier, he enrolled as a law student on April 24, 1896 at the Friedrich Wilhelms University in Berlin. After one semester he went to the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich , where he stayed from November 1896 to October 1898. There he became a member of the Corps Isaria . He then attended the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Bonn until March (Easter) 1899. Here he successfully completed his studies. During his student days, the Catholic Pantenburg, contrary to strict papal prohibitions, joined one of the striking student associations, which consistently adhered to national or national-liberal ideas and were traditionally sharply opposed to Catholics loyal to the Pope and who voted for the center. Throws in his face testified to that time. Pantenburg began his internship in 1900, which he interrupted in 1901/1902 for his military service as a one-year volunteer . He was dismissed from military service as an invalid and resumed his traineeship training in 1903. On July 9, 1900 Pantenburg had passed his first examination in law and in February 1901 received his doctorate he became Dr. iur. in Rostock. In 1906 he became a government assessor for the district administrator in the East Prussian district of Mohrungen . From 1909 he worked at the Berlin Police Headquarters. In 1912 he moved to the Upper Insurance Office of Greater Berlin and from there to the district government in Potsdam , where he was promoted to government councilor in 1915 . From 1917 he was initially provisional district administrator of the Lingen district , then from 1918 to 1933 as district administrator. In 1918/1919 he was a member of the Hanover Provincial Parliament . “As a national Catholic and a member of a striking association, he was often in the district in contrast to the majority of the center” (Beatrix Herlemann). The lawyer, who remained a bachelor throughout his life, encountered reservations in the rural Catholic Emsland. It was extremely difficult for the city dweller to leave Berlin and go to the provinces, especially since as a right-wing Catholic he had to struggle with a center majority in the district. The cooperation between the right-wing and very Prussian-friendly district administrator and the district council was marked by tension. Pantenburg, whose great hobby was driving the new means of transport, the car, personally drove through the district around 1924 to distribute or post official posters against the request of the “German-Hanoverian Party” to obtain a preliminary vote on the separation of Hanover from Prussia and proceeded against community leaders, who immediately tore them down again. There was also constant anger about the press in the district council, as he held his protective hand over a right-wing, anti-democratic Lingen newspaper. His efforts to cultivate wasteland and improve traffic conditions in the Lingen district have been widely recognized.

Pantenburg joined the NSDAP in 1933 and died of a stroke that same year .
