Albert Schmidt-Egk

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Albert Schmidt-Egk (born March 17, 1888 ; † after 1948) was President of the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court in Hamburg from 1943 to 1945.

Schmidt-Egk was arrested on May 28, 1945. One day later, the former President of the HansOLG, Wilhelm Kiesselbach , who had been relieved of this office in 1933 in the course of the Gleichschaltung , received the order from the British military government to reorganize the Hamburg judiciary, with which the presidential post at the Hanseatic Higher Regional Court until September 30, 1946 was connected. A first court-internal composition plan for the HansOLG prepared under Kiesselbach provided for Schmidt-Egk the position of chairman in one of the three civil senates. Ultimately, however, it did not come to that, so that the official dismissal from office in September 1945 for Schmidt-Egk actually meant the end of his legal career.
