Career

Nutzhorn was the son of the Oldenburg school principal Johann Friedrich Nutzhorn (1850–1943) and Johanne Catharina born. Brunken (1857-1931). After graduating from high school in 1906 at the Grand Ducal Gymnasium in Oldenburg, Nutzhorn studied German , religious studies , and oriental and classical languages at the universities of Göttingen , Heidelberg and Kiel . During his studies he became a member of the Brunsviga fraternity in 1906 . He received his doctorate in 1912 and then completed his military service as a one-year volunteer with the Oldenburg Infantry Regiment No. 91 . In 1914 he passed the state examination and began teaching at a grammar school in Oldenburg, but interrupted his work a short time later to take part in the First World War as a reserve officer from 1914 to 1918 , most recently as a reserve lieutenant . Afterwards he continued his traineeship training at the Oberrealschule Oldenburg . In 1920 he was then transferred to the secondary school in Rüstringen as a teacher.

Nutzhorn, who had represented right-wing political attitudes since his studies, became a member of the Stahlhelm in 1921 . In 1925 he became the leader of a comradeship. In 1930 he joined the NSDAP (membership number: 191.111) and was one of the founding members of the National Socialist Teachers' Association (NSLB) in the Free State of Oldenburg . He was one of the very active agitators of the NSLB who were not squeamish in their choice of means. From 1930 to 1939 he worked as a Gauredner . From 1932 to 1934 he was active as a district training leader.

Nutzhorn was also involved in local politics, was elected to the city council of Rüstringen from 1931 and was elected from 1932 to the majority of the National Socialist Oldenburg state parliament. In 1933 he became State Commissioner for the city of Rüstringen. On March 9, 1933, the National Socialist government appointed him Lord Mayor of Rüstringen. Nutzhorn carried out his office entirely in accordance with the National Socialist principles of rule, including the dismissal of all city officials who belonged to the SPD . In 1936 he joined the SS at his own request, despite having exceeded the age limit (membership number: 276.298). When Rüstringen in Oldenburg and Wilhelmshaven in Prussia were amalgamated on April 1, 1937 as part of the Greater Hamburg Act , Nutzhorn, who had previously fallen out with his colleague Carl Heinrich Renken in Wilhelmshaven , was not left in the position of mayor but was in charge Head of Studies at the Dietrich-Eckart School in Wilhelmshaven. After the start of the war in 1939 Nutzhorn became police chief in Aussig in the Reichsgau Sudetenland . In this political office he last had the rank of SS-Standartenführer . At the end of the war he fled with his wife Johanne Elisabeth (Lisa) geb. Gleimius (* 1896) after Zwischenahn. There he was arrested and initially interned in the Neuengamme internment camp . He was then extradited to Czechoslovakia and sentenced to eight years in prison by a Czechoslovak court for crimes against the non-German population. In 1954 Nutzhorn was released from custody and returned to Bad Zwischenahn, where he was active in the homeland association and as a family researcher and published some writings.
