Live and act

Enno Budde was the son of a pastor from Hamburg. He attended the Matthias-Claudius-Gymnasium , which he left with the Abitur. He then studied economics at the University of Erlangen and the University of Hamburg . There he passed the first state examination in law in 1925. The doctorate in 1927 was followed by the second state examination there in 1929. From 1930 Budde headed the business of the Neuhaus / Oste Chamber of Crafts. In 1933 he received a civil service position as an assessor in Hamburg. In 1934 he was appointed judge there and three years later he was appointed regional judge.

During the Weimar Republic , Budde appeared politically: in 1927 he wrote a newspaper article in which he depicted the Prussian national colors as “foreign rubbish”. For this he had to pay a fine for violating the Republic Protection Act. As a member of the German-Hanoverian Party , he ran several times in mayor and Reichstag elections without being able to win seats. After joining the NSDAP on May 1, 1933, he supported party politics and wrote racist articles during the period of National Socialism . After the end of the Second World War, he nevertheless successfully went through a denazification process and in 1947 took over the position of regional court director.

In 1959, Budde, as the presiding judge of the Great Criminal Chamber I, refrained from initiating proceedings against Friedrich Nieland (1896–1973) who had disseminated anti-Semitic writings. This "Nieland case" led to one of the biggest judicial scandals in Germany. For this reason, Budde was transferred to the 16th Civil Chamber and from then on had to deal with rental matters. In addition, Budde's decision was partly responsible for a change in legislation to sedition , which entered into force 1960th Enno Budde retired in 1969.
