Life

Remak, son of the Jewish professor Ernst Remak , attended a humanistic grammar school and then studied law . After passing the first state examination in law, he was initially a trainee lawyer in the District Court district. In 1919 he became a court assessor , and from 1920 he initially worked as a laborer in the Prussian Ministry of Finance . After promotions to the Finance Council and Oberfinanzrat, Remak was accepted into the Prussian General Administration in 1926 as a senior government councilor. From 1930 to 1932 he worked as a municipal department head in Königsberg and from 1932 for the government of Opole / Upper Silesia . For political reasons Remak was retired in 1935 and temporarily forced to do menial jobs. On January 15, 1944, Remak, who was baptized and married in a so-called mixed marriage, went into hiding before he was threatened with arrest. He found shelter among others with Ruth and Agnes Wendland and Maria Countess von Maltzan .

After the end of the Second World War , Remak was fourth vice-president in the provincial government of Mark Brandenburg from July to September 1945, responsible for justice and health ( Cabinet Steinhoff (Brandenburg) I ).
