Life

Albert Prinzing was the son of the builder Carl Prinzing. After attending secondary school in Bad Cannstatt , he studied political science and economics in Munich , Kiel , Rome and Heidelberg , where he graduated in 1933 with a degree in economics and received his doctorate in 1934 .

While still a student, he joined the NS student union . On April 1, 1934, he joined the NSDAP ( membership number 3,453,067). In 1935 he became a member of the SD and the SS (membership number 280.377), which promoted him to Hauptsturmführer on April 20, 1941 .

In 1938 he completed his habilitation in Heidelberg. From 1938 he was a lecturer at the Faculty of Foreign Studies at the University of Berlin for "Folk and Foreign Studies of Italy". From 1940 he took on a teaching position for economics and world economics. From August 7, 1941, he was associate professor and from December 1, 1942 full professor at the Faculty of Foreign Studies at the University of Berlin for "Italian folk and foreign studies". Since then, Prinzing has held the title of professor, which he attached great importance to even after the end of the war. Prinzing wrote several national studies on Italy . From 1941 to 1943 he also headed the science department at the Institute for the World Economy in Hamburg , which is controlled by the SS . From 1937 he also worked in the Ribbentrop office, for which he was responsible from Heidelberg in collaboration with Hans Maubach in the party liaison office for Switzerland , Alsace - Lorraine and Luxembourg , headed by Martin Luther . In October 1942 Prinzing took over the publication of the magazine "Italy. Monthly magazine of the German-Italian society". He replaced Werner von der Schulenburg, who was considered not loyal to the line. Prinzing managed the paper until its end in June 1943.

In 1942, Prinzing became a consultant for Italy in the information department of the Foreign Office in Berlin. In March 1943, Prinzing was appointed General Plenipotentiary for the German cultural institutes in Italy in the service of the Foreign Office (he was supposed to align them with the NS course) and was also the AA's liaison to the Partito Fascista Repubblicano (PFR), the successor party to the Partito Nazionale Fascista . In mid-February 1944 he took over as director of the newly established German Scientific Institute in Venice (L'Istituto di Cultura Germanico a Venezia dell'Abbazia di San Gregorio is a forerunner of the German Study Center in Venice ), but above all had special tasks in diplomatic support the leadership of the Italian Social Republic under Benito Mussolini .

From May 1945 to May 1948 Prinzing was in Allied internment custody . On May 11, 1948, he was classified as a minor offender by the ruling chamber of the Ludwigsburg internment camp .

Prinzing was managing director of the Porsche tractor manufacturing (1956–1963)

In 1949, Prinzing became commercial director of his school friend Ferry Porsche and a 25 percent partner in the new “Porsche Konstruktionen GmbH”. The company was founded as a shell with almost no assets in order to avoid any recourse and damage claims. In July 1952 the company was liquidated again. In 1956, Porsche resumed tractor construction with Porsche-Diesel Motorenbau GmbH Friedrichshafen and Prinzing became managing director there. When Porsche sold the division to Renault in 1963 , Prinzing went to AEG as sales director and in 1968 was finally managing director of AEG's subsidiary Osram GmbH in Munich , where he was followed by Helmut Plettner in 1975.

Prinzing had been married to Klara Hetzel since 1936 and they had two daughters.
