Life

At Easter 1914, Altmann passed his Abitur at the humanistic grammar school in Steglitz district of Teltow (from 1920 in Berlin).

The subsequent study of law in Tübingen was interrupted when Altmann was called up as a soldier in the First World War. After the end of the war and successfully completing his studies, he worked in various offices in court, from divorce judge to district court director.

In April 1933 Altmann was given a compulsory leave of absence as a district judge at the Berlin-Charlottenburg district court and at the same time as a district judge at Berlin's district court III because of his grandmother of Jewish origin under Nazi law . This compulsory leave of absence was lifted by the responsible Ministry of Justice in 1935 because he was a "front-line fighter" and was considered a " 2nd degree hybrid ".

On August 21, 1931, he married Florence Rutherford, an Englishwoman. The connection resulted in a daughter and a son. Altmann expanded his language skills to include Russian by taking an interpreting exam. In 1955, he and Carl von Lorck were appointed federal judge at the Supreme Restitution Court in Herford by the federal government. He spent his last years in Bad Salzuflen (district Schötmar ).

He was the youngest son of Wilhelm Altmann , Ulrich Altmann was his older brother. They have great-grandparents in common with Hans Altmann .
