Life

Friedrich Alwin Dorn was born the son of a businessman, attended secondary school and then completed an apprenticeship as a businessman. He studied business administration at the Handelshochschule Berlin , where he passed the exam in 1927. In 1934, he was just there with a thesis on "return of the German pulp industry" doctorate .

In 1934 Dorn joined the SS (membership number 207.390), and in 1937 also the NSDAP (membership number 5.378.164). In the four-year plan , Dorn was an expert on pulp and paper. In the SS, Dorn achieved the rank of SS Sturmbannführer. He refused an offer to move to Oswald Pohl in the SS Economic and Administrative Main Office , which would have been accompanied by a promotion to SS Standartenführer. Instead, Dorn remained "one of the closest employees" of Hans Kehrl in the Reich Ministry of Economics , where Dorn was "Reich Commissioner for Paper and Packaging". Dorn also became a lecturer at the Berlin School of Management, which was renamed the Berlin School of Economics in 1935.

After the Second World War , Dorn was hired in 1953 at Kalle & Co. AG , which was part of the Hoechst Group, and was a member of the management board. At the end of 1956 he moved to Zellstoff-Fabrik Waldhof AG as CEO . With reference to Dorn's SS rank and his participation in the plundering of the occupied eastern territories by the management of Ostfaser GmbH , he was listed together with 1,800 business leaders, politicians and leading officials of the Federal Republic of Germany in the Brown Book first published in the GDR in 1965 . Until his death at the age of almost 64, Dorn was CEO of Zellstoff-Fabrik Waldhof AG.
