Life

Hans Otto Glahn, who was an Evangelical Lutheran denomination, studied law and entered the Prussian civil service in 1922. In 1923 he became a government trainee and from 1926 to 1929 he was a government assessor at the district office in the district of Siegen before he was appointed (initially provisional) on February 19, 1929 as district administrator in Usingen . The district council elected him in 1929 with the votes of the SPD , the center and the list of civil servants and craftsmen who together had 12 seats in the district council against the 8 votes of the Hessen-Nassau Peasant Party. The final appointment took place on September 7, 1929. On February 4, 1932, Glahn moved to the Eschwege district as provisional district administrator , but was refused the definitive appointment on February 15, 1932 due to his membership in the SPD. Instead, he moved to the Köslin regional council in October 1932 . With the seizure of power by the Nazis, he was dismissed from the civil service.

After the Second World War , he was appointed senior district director of the Ammerland district in 1945 and remained in this position until 1947. On December 22, 1947, he took up his new post as City Director in Göttingen . The local SPD had achieved an absolute majority in the local elections and elected the non-local Hans Otto Glahn. For Glahn, who had been nominated by the left wing of the Social Democrats, the members of the SPD and KPD voted against the other opposition factions. However, his administration was controversial and he soon lost the support of his own faction. In the local elections in 1948, the SPD lost its majority and the FDP and CDU had a majority in the council. On January 29, 1949, the council passed a resolution with only three votes against, in which it was determined that Glahn was not able to run the city's business properly (the SPD parliamentary group had left the meeting in protest). Disciplinary proceedings were conducted and Glahn was retired after only 14 months in office. The motion to reject this procedure did not find a majority in the council on April 22, 1949. Of the SPD MPs, only 11 approved this request.

Glahn defended himself against the retirement in court and in 1953 achieved the additional payment of 48,000 DM.
