Life and work

Cassebohm was born the son of a veterinarian. After graduating from high school in Birkenfeld (Nahe) , he began studying law at the universities of Berlin , Freiburg im Breisgau (1893) and Göttingen (1894/95) in the winter of 1891 , which he completed with two state exams. In Berlin he belonged to the Berlin fraternity Franconia since 1891 (later the Berlin fraternity of the Märker ). He then joined the Oldenburg state service as an assistant civil servant in 1898 and worked as a government assessor at the local public prosecutor's office, as well as at the offices of Brake , Butjadingen and Friesoythe and at the Oldenburg State Ministry. In 1908 he became governor in Cloppenburg . From 1914 to 1916 he took part in the First World War as a soldier , most recently as a captain in the Guards Artillery Regiment. Since the Oldenburg Ministry of the Interior requested Cassebohm as head of the state feed office and for the Department of National Nutrition, he was released from army service on September 11, 1916.

After his discharge from the military service was Cassebohm department head in the Ministry of the Interior of the country Oldenburg and was there in 1919 for Senior Government , 1920. Privy Councilor transported and 1921 to the Privy Senior Government. From 1920 he was chairman of the settlement office in the Oldenburg region . On August 1, 1927, he was appointed regional president in Eutin .

After several short parliamentary terms with ambiguous majority, the non-party Cassebohm as the candidate of was land block elected on 14 November 1930, 22 out of 35 votes for Prime Minister of Oldenburg.

At that time, however, the economic and political crisis was so advanced that Cassebohm, who had continued the line of the "non-political" cabinets that had been in office in Oldenburg since 1923, could not stop the population's further loss of confidence in parliamentarism. Furthermore, the consequences of Brüning's austerity policy, its own failed tax policy and the North Oldenburg tax strike movement had a catastrophic effect on Cassebohm. Cassebohm also showed himself to be too passive when dealing with the NSDAP , which was pressing to power . After an overturning policy of the National Socialists in the form of a vote of no confidence on June 16, 1931 and a series of motions to dissolve the state parliament (June, November, December 1931), the NSDAP finally succeeded - with the actual support of the KPD - a successful "brown -roten “ referendum to dissolve the state parliament on April 17, 1932. The new elections of May 29, 1932 then gave the NSDAP a majority of the seats in the state parliament and Cassebohm's successor on June 16, 1932 was Carl Röver (NSDAP). Cassebohm then applied for his retirement . He first spent his retirement in Oldenburg and from 1949/50 in Eutin.
