After attending a lyceum in Strasbourg and taking his school- leaving examination in the summer of 1904, he studied law and political science in Strasbourg and Kiel until 1908 . On January 19, 1909, he received his doctorate in Heidelberg with Karl Heinsheimer with the dissertation , The offsetting in the process, in particular the use of a claim for offsetting in two processes . After being sworn in as a trainee lawyer on July 3, 1908, he began his training at the Hagenau District Court , which was followed by further training at the Strasbourg Public Prosecutor and the Colmar Higher Regional Court . On June 3, 1912, he passed the Grand State Examination , and then on October 24, 1912, he became a government assessor at the Strasbourg district government and, from January 1, 1913, at the Diedenhofen-West district directorate .

After the end of his internment, he was retired on September 1, 1949.

Supplementary biography

During his time as district administrator for the two Eifel districts of Prüm and Daun and Vulkaneifel, Schlemmer was primarily concerned - especially during the Second World War - with ensuring food for the population and maintaining economic life. Since the two district areas also represented deployment and supply areas for army divisions of the Wehrmacht , the district administrations also had to take on tasks in supplying the troops and looking after the soldiers. He made particular merits after the momentous bombing of Daun on July 19, 1944, in which 65 people, including 26 children, were killed when he, through his personal efforts, brought about rescue and clean-up teams from all neighboring towns.

family

Schlemmer was married to Cläre Reuver (born September 1, 1988 in Cologne; † July 9, 1976 in Vallendar), daughter of the businessman Richard Karl Bernhard Reuver from Cologne and his wife Clara, née Lerch, since June 27, 1913 in Cologne .
