Emilio Boehme

Emilio Julio Alexandro Böhme (* December 21, 1877 ; † July 29, 1921 on Gotteskoog -Deich, North Friesland ) was the German district administrator of the Tondern district (1914–1921) and German representative in the Schleswig Inter-Allied Voting Commission ( French Commission Internationale de Surveillance du Plébiscite Slesvig (CIS) ).

Böhme studied law. In Tübingen he became a member of the Corps Suevia in 1899 . He began his civil service career as a government assessor in Marienwerder. During the First World War he worked as a district administrator in the Prussian district of Tondern.

The Interallied Voting Commission for Schleswig was active from 1919 and consisted of the British Sir Charles Marling (President), the French Paul Claudel , the Norwegian Thomas Thomassen Heftye and the Swede Oscar von Sydow . Another seat was available to the United States but was not occupied. In addition to the Danish representative Hans Peter Hanssen (later Danish Minister), Böhme was assigned as an adviser to the commission.

After the division of Schleswig (1920) he remained district administrator of the now renamed and reduced district of Südtondern . On July 29, 1921, Böhme had a fatal accident in a one-horse horse-drawn carriage on the Gotteskoog dike. His grave can be found in Nieblum on Föhr.
