Live and act

Dullo comes from a Baltic German family that produced numerous administrative officials. He first studied art history , then law, political science and history and actually wanted to be a painter. In 1888 he was awarded a doctorate in economic history at the University of Königsberg after the legal state examination under the title About the sea trade of the German Baltic Sea areas. Phil. PhD . Later he became a statistician and finally director of the statistical office of the city of Königsberg, which he founded . He was then elected to the City Council of Königsberg, but was not confirmed by the Prussian government because of his political stance. At that time he was a member of the liberal movement . From 1898 he was also one of the co-editors of the Statistical Yearbook of German Cities.

On March 7, 1907, he was elected Lord Mayor of Offenbach am Main and was introduced to his office on May 16, 1907. His term of office began with a legal dispute that was noticed far beyond Offenbach's borders. Dullo had granted the Eberbach Group a loan of 500,000 marks against pledging of Kaiserhof shares worth 540,000 marks without consulting the city treasury, but with the approval of the lending committee. After the borrower was unable to repay the loan and the shares serving as collateral had rapidly lost value, the city sued its mayor for compensation for the damage caused by the deal. One of his merits was the connection of 30 villages in the Offenbach district to the Offenbach electricity works, which prevented large neighboring electrical works from expanding their competing activities to the gates of the city. He also won Hugo Eberhardt as director of the technical institutes, today's University of Design . The incorporation of Bürgel also fell during his term of office . He himself considered the establishment of the local history museum, today's house of city history, to be the greatest merit.

After leaving office in 1919, Dullo went to Berlin, where he worked as a consultant in the Reich Ministry of the Interior until 1927. He then worked in the Association of Traffic Advertising until 1939. He then devoted himself to studying history and art history. Dullo died in Berlin and rests in the Friedenau cemetery .
