Life

Axel von Maltzahn was the eldest son of the manor owner and later President of the Province of Pomerania , Helmuth von Maltzahn (1840–1923), and his wife Anna von Rohrscheidt (1847–1913). He studied law at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg . In 1887 he became a member of the Corps Vandalia Heidelberg . After completing his studies and doctorate, he entered the Prussian civil service. In 1895 he passed the government assessor exam with the government in Düsseldorf . Subsequently he was a government assessor with the government in Stralsund .

In 1900 he became district administrator of the district of Grimmen . From 1910 he went to court in Greifswald with the landowner and liberal politician Arthur Becker , who had accused him of abuse of office by discriminating against the liberal movement and the workers' organizations. The process attracted attention throughout Germany and was the subject of debates in the Reichstag and in the Prussian House of Representatives. As a result, Axel von Maltzahn had to resign as a district administrator in 1911 for violating applicable law.

As a secret senior government councilor and lecturer in the Prussian Ministry of Agriculture, he headed the German food industry during the First World War . In retirement, he later lived on his manor VALZ .
