Ernst von Halle (born January 17, 1868 in Hamburg as Ernst Levy ; † June 28, 1909 in Grunewald ) was a German economist and university professor who was temporarily active in the Reichsmarineamt.

Life

Ernst Levy was a son of the Jewish lawyer Hermann Levy, who was a member of the Hamburg citizenship . In 1895 he dropped the clearly Jewish family name “Levy” and instead took the maiden name of his mother “von Halle”, who came from another Jewish family in Hamburg. He converted to Christianity and became a Protestant . He attended the learned school of the Johanneum and studied at the universities of Munich, Bonn and Leipzig as well as at the Berlin Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität , where in 1889 he became a member of the Corps Vandalia Berlin .

In 1897 he came to the Reichsmarineamt and became press spokesman ("Propaganda chief") of Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz , who considered him "the crown of the fleet-friendly Jews".

In 1903 Ernst von Halle married Henriette von Moßner, a daughter of General Walther von Moßner . They had two sons and a daughter. His son Ernst (* 1905) drove automobile races and had a fatal accident at the 1928 German Grand Prix on the Nürburgring .

Von Halle was appointed secret admiralty council in 1906. He was associate professor of economics at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Berlin and honorary professor at the Technical University of Charlottenburg . In 1908/1909 he went on a study trip to the United States .

Halles' declared aim was to consolidate Germany and create the domestic political basis for a role as a world power . With Max Weber he represented the connection between world power politics and social reform in the interests of national integration.
