Live and act

Deermann attended the elementary school in Elbergen in the Lingen district until 1902 and the grammar school in Meppen from 1902 to 1907 , where he graduated from high school at Easter 1907. From 1907 he studied history, geography, modern languages , political science and philosophy in Münster , Munich , Berlin and Kiel . In 1912 he was in Kiel with a work on the Rural Siedelungs-, constitutional, legal, accounting history of Venkigaus and subsequent low county Lingen to the output of the 16th century to Dr. phil. PhD. In the same year he passed the first state examination in education ( pro facultate docendi ), the second followed in 1913. From autumn 1912 to September 1913 Deermann was trainee lawyer in Buer . He then stayed from September 1913 to August 1914 as an exchange assistant in London . In 1914 he became editor of the KKV magazine Hansa . He married in 1917. In 1918 he became assistant to the press department of the civil administration for German-occupied Flanders in Brussels .

After the war, Deermann advocated a federal reorganization of the empire. In 1919 he became a senior teacher in Düsseldorf , then in Cologne . In the same year he joined the "Christian People's Party", of which he became the first chairman. In June 1920 , thanks to the list connection with the Bavarian People's Party on his party 's proposal for a Reich election, he entered the first Reichstag of the Weimar Republic , of which he was a member until the May 1924 election . In the Reichstag, Deermann, who was the only member of his party in parliament, sat in on the parliamentary group of the Bavarian People's Party (BVP).

After leaving the Reichstag, Deermann worked as a teacher. He later took over the management of the grammar school in Gyrhofstrasse in Cologne- Lindenthal . In February 1934 Deermann was dismissed from his position as school director for political reasons. This step was justified with Section 4 of the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service , citing a vague memo about a telephone conversation with Cologne Mayor Konrad Adenauer in the early 1920s. From 1937 he worked in industry.

After the Second World War , Deermann initially acted as mayor of Brauweiler in the Cologne district, then, from 1945 to 1953, as head of the church and school department of the Cologne district government . He also made a few translations of English-language books, such as John Locke's Some Thoughts on Education for Schöningh. He was also a member of the German-Armenian Society .

Deermann's estate is now stored in the historical archive of the city of Cologne . It contains documents from the years 1901 to 1977 and has a volume of ten boxes. In terms of content, it contains personal documents, documents on professional matters (denazification of teachers in Cologne after 1945, teaching regulations, correspondence with Allied military governments).
