Live and act

After graduating from high school , Janke began studying law . On November 29, 1901, he received his doctorate in Greifswald as a doctor of law (Dr. jur.) And in 1903 passed the Grand State Examination . Then Janke became mayor of Treptow an der Rega ( Province of Pomerania ). In 1911 he became mayor of the city of Höchst am Main (now Frankfurt am Main). During the First World War in 1917 the surrounding areas were incorporated and Groß-Höchst was founded . Accordingly, Janke was appointed Lord Mayor by Kaiser Wilhelm II in the same year . After the end of the war, the occupation of the Rhineland in 1918 meant that the city of Höchst was also under the occupation of France . When the workforce at the Hoechst paintworks went on strike in June 1919 , Janke was expelled from the French military administration for resisting the occupying power. As a result, the city administration has been alternately by Assistant Secretary- headed until 1923 Bruno Asch took over the post of mayor.

Janke was for years as a representative of lawyers in Berlin , before taking over after the takeover by the Nazis in 1933 became Chief Executive of the Main-Taunus district. He had taken over this office from Wilhelm Apel ( SPD ), who had previously been removed from his office as a social democrat on February 13, 1933. According to his own statements, Janke was "completely on the basis of the National Socialist view of the state and world" and wanted to become a member of the NSDAP after the membership ban of the NSDAP ended . He remained a district administrator until he reached retirement age in 1939. His successor in office was Franz Brunnträger (NSDAP).
