Life and work

Gottheiner, who was of Jewish descent, grew up in an upper-class Berlin family. His sister Elisabeth Altmann-Gottheiner was one of the first German university teachers.

Gottheiner attended the Falck-Gymnasium and the Royal Wilhelms-Gymnasium in Berlin . After graduating from high school, he studied law at the University of Lausanne and the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg . In 1898 he was in the Corps Vandalia Heidelberg recipiert . As an inactive he moved to the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin . After passing the state examination, he became a trainee court judge in 1901 and a government trainee with the government in Schleswig in 1904. He was appointed government assessor in 1907 and was first employed in this function at the Braunsberg / East Prussia district office and from 1910 to 1914 with the government in Aachen. From 1914 to 1930 he wasDistrict administrator in the Johannisburg district ( East Prussia province ), and from 1916 to 1929 a member of the East Prussian provincial council . In 1928 he was briefly employed as a consultant in the eastern administrative office of the Reich Ministry of the Interior. From 1928 to 1932 he was a member of the DNVP in the German Reichstag . In 1930 he was put up for disposition by the Prussian state government for advocating the referendum against the Young Plan . In 1932 he was appointed ministerial director and head of the constitutional department of the Reich Ministry of the Interior by the then Reich Minister of the Interior, Wilhelm Freiherr von Gayl . There he played a key role in the preparation of the removal of the democratic Prussian state government under Otto Braun ( Preußenschlag ). In the subsequent process of Prussia versus Reich before the State Court at the Reich Court in Leipzig, he was the main representative of the Reich government and thus a direct opponent of Arnold Brecht . He also supported the conservative constitutional reform plans of the von Papen cabinet . In February 1933 he was dismissed by the National Socialist Reich Minister of the Interior Wilhelm Frick and finally retired in early 1934. After being bombed out in Berlin in 1943, he successively took up residence in East Prussia, Silesia, Mecklenburg and, after the end of World War II, in Lower Saxony. In 1949 he emigrated to Brazil to live with his son, where he also died.
