Hans Heinz Heldmann

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Heinz Heldmann (born April 9, 1929 ; † October 8, 1995 ) was a German lawyer specializing in criminal , immigration and asylum law , at times a member of the board of the Humanist Union and author. He mainly worked in his own law firms in Munich , Darmstadt and Frankfurt am Main .

Lawyer

The focus of Heldmann's legal work was on minority rights, especially on immigration law. Heldmann has represented minorities in court since the 1960s, initially opposition Persian students and Palestinians threatened with deportation, and foreign communists persecuted in the Federal Republic and asylum-seeking Arabs. From 1975 to 1977 he was Andreas Baader's trusted lawyer in the Stammheim trial . Heldmann saw himself as a “ radical democrat ”. At that time, Der Spiegel wrote: “With Klaus Croissant's successor, Heldmann, a lawyer has moved in who, like Ensslin representative Otto Schily, offers brilliance and forensic fitness, but at the same time seems unattainable for allegations of sympathy for all his commitment to the rights of clients . "

Humanist Union

In the 1960s, Heldmann became a legal advisor for the Humanist Union . In 1966, as a lawyer on behalf of a client, he checked whether the voluntary self-regulation of the film industry (FSK) as “a successor institution to the occupation censorship” (Heldmann) was compatible with the Basic Law . Heldmann became internationally known among human rights activists in the late 1960s when he was commissioned by Amnesty International to observe criminal trials in Tehran (under the regime of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi ). In the last years of his life he campaigned against the 1992 reform of the asylum law and the dismantling of the rights of deportation detainees .

author

Heldmann has been the author of several commentaries and critical books on immigration laws and immigration law since the 1960s. In addition, he published a book in 1968 with 158 "words of chairman Heinrich" under the pseudonym "Brothers Grimmig". It is a satirically commented collection of quotes by Federal President Heinrich Lübke , published by the Munich art and science publisher Heinz Moos.
