from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Gramsch (born October 23, 1894 in Braunsberg , East Prussia province ; † October 1, 1955 in St. Augustin near Siegburg ) was a district administrator in the Weimar Republic , a senior ministerial official during the time of National Socialism and district council manager in the Federal Republic of Germany.

Life

Gramsch's father was Friedrich Karl Gramsch , from 1892 to 1900 district administrator in the Braunsberg district and later the Prussian district president in Königsberg , his mother Charlotte nee. from Stosch-Rodelshöfen.

Gramsh studied at the University of Tübingen Law and in 1912 in Corps Suevia Tübingen recipiert . As a participant in the First World War , he was seriously wounded in 1917. After the legal traineeship (1918), he was employed as a government trainee in the administration of the Königsberg government district from 1919 . In 1921 he was at the University of Königsberg to Dr. rer. pole. PhD. After further positions he arrived in 1924 as Councilor of the Prussian Ministry of the Interior. In 1927 he was transferred to the post of district administrator in the Heiligenbeil district .

In December 1933, Gramsch was promoted to Ministerialrat , presumably in the Prussian State Ministry under Hermann Göring . After moving to the four-year plan authority , he worked there in the foreign exchange business group, which was headed by his college friend Erich Neumann. At Göring's suggestion, Gramsch was promoted to ministerial director in 1937, and a year later to ministerial director . Gramsch and Neumann formed Göring's “Brain Trust”, which concerned the plans to plunder the countries occupied by Germany in World War II. Presumably in 1942, Gramsch replaced Neumann as head of the foreign exchange business group. Apparently, Gramsch did not belong to the NSDAP. Like his colleague in the four-year planning authority Friedrich Kadgien, he was still in contact with Helmuth James von Moltke , a resistance fighter against National Socialism and founder of the Kreisau Circle resistance group.

Gramsch was questioned as part of the Nuremberg Trials . A plan to plunder occupied France had been drawn up by him and was presented at the trial. Nothing is known about an internment or his denazification . 1947–1953 Gramsch was the managing director of the Lower Saxony District Assembly . 1953–1955 he was the managing director of the German District Assembly . He also sat on the board of the German Association for Public and Private Welfare.
