Armin Sellheim (born March 5, 1929 in Frankfurt (Oder) ; † August 20, 2002 in Hamburg ) was a German lawyer in the press.

Life

Armin Sellheim attended the Joachimsthal School in Templin from 1942 to 1944 . After leaving school he trained as a carpenter and then studied at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-University Bonn Law . In 1951 he became a member of the Corps Borussia Bonn . In 1952 he moved to the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg to help re-establish the Corps Saxo-Borussia Heidelberg , which was banned by the National Socialists in 1935 after the Heidelberg asparagus affair. After the second state examination in law, in 1961, the year before the Spiegel affair , he became head of the legal department of the Hamburg news magazine Der Spiegel . At the beginning of the Spiegel affair, he quickly recognized the possible accusation of treason and opened up the defense strategy, which was based on the fact that the secrecy had already been materially removed by prior publication in another newspaper, the Würzburger Die Tagespost .

In 1971 Sellheim took over the magazine's documentation department. After three years as HR manager at Wirtschaftswoche in Düsseldorf , he became head of the Academy for Journalism in Hamburg in 1981 . Among other things, he worked there together with Michael Haller on research seminar concepts in inter-company trainee training. From 1989 to 1995 he was the first director of the Academy of the Bavarian Press in Munich . After his retirement he returned to Hamburg and worked there as a freelance journalist. After his death, he was recognized in obituaries by the German media nationwide.
