biography

Dugend came from a family of pharmacists that had lived in Oldenburg since the 17th century. He was the son of the Oldenburg Regional Administrative Court President Karl Dugend (1847-1919) and his wife Helene Hermanna Sophie born. Heumann (1857-1919). He attended grammar school in Oldenburg and studied law at the universities of Freiburg , Munich and Göttingen . In 1902 he followed his father into the Oldenburg state service.

First he was employed as an assessor at the offices of Rüstringen and Brake as well as the government of the Principality of Lübeck in Eutin , which belongs to Oldenburg . In 1913 he was transferred to the Ministry of the Interior and in 1917 to the government council . Two years later he became a senior councilor. In 1924 he came to work as a judge at the Higher Administrative Court in Oldenburg , where he had been part-time for several years. On December 9, 1933, Dugend was appointed President of the Court.

In the following period he had the thankless task of carrying out the liquidation of the administrative judiciary ordered by the National Socialist government . Formally, however, he remained in his official position, which had become meaningless. After the collapse of the Third Reich , he campaigned for the re-establishment of administrative jurisdiction in the British military administration, which he no longer lived.

Dugend married Erna Margarete born on May 10, 1907. Jaspers (born May 14, 1885; † December 7, 1974), the daughter of bank director Carl Jaspers (1850-1940) and sister of the philosopher Karl Jaspers (1883-1969). The couple had two sons, of whom Enno (1915–1980) emerged as a musician and composer.
