Harry von Rosen von Hoewel (born December 27, 1904 as Harry von Rozycki in Marienburg (West Prussia) ; † November 8, 2003 ) was a German lawyer , ministerial official and federal judge.

Life

After studying law at the Albertus University in Königsberg and obtaining his doctorate in 1928, he embarked on an administrative career, became a member of the government in Stettin in 1935 and an official in the Reich Ministry of the Interior in 1942 , where he was mainly concerned with legal issues relating to the occupied Polish territories. As part of this activity, he published an article in 1942 in which he justified the almost complete disenfranchisement of the Polish population. In 1940 he had his previous name Harry von Rozycki Germanized. In the same year he published the German constitutional history from the Germanic people's state to the Third Reich with Walter Eckhardt in Leipzig . He has published many publications, in particular on public law in the Third Reich and on the National Socialist special law for Poland. Together with the Nazi war criminal Wilhelm Stuckart , he wrote several volumes of Schaeffer's floor plans . He worked on the series “German Constitutional History ” (Vol. 13, 3), “The State of the Third Reich” (Vol. 13, 4), “Administrative Law” (Vol. 14, 1) , "New Community Law" (Vol. 14, 2), "The Reich Defense" (Vol. 40, 1) and "The War Economy" (Vol. 40, 2).

After the end of National Socialism, he and his co-author Walter Eckhardt pretended that their overview of German constitutional history had been reprinted unchanged. In doing so, the authors had merely cleaned up the book to remove some content that was offensive in the democratic Federal Republic, which had glorified the Hitler dictatorship. The book was published in 1955 and in three further editions until 1971.

After the founding of the Federal Republic of Germany, Rosen von Hoewel became Ministerialrat in the Federal Ministry of the Interior , in 1955 President of the Senate at the Federal Administrative Court (BVerwG) and in 1956 Senior Public Prosecutor at the BVerwG .

According to a report by the news magazine Der Spiegel , Rosen-von Hoewel, as a ministerial official, was nicknamed Automaten-Harry : “The expert papers of the ministerial council from the Federal Ministry of the Interior, which were printed in the specialist press, corresponded completely to the ideas of the coin-operated machine industry and supplied the operators of vending machines and gaming machines valuable help in their constant guerrilla warfare with the state authorities. "

The SPD member of the Bundestag, Walter Menzel, asked the federal government on June 12, 1958, based on publications by Rosen-von Hoewels from the Nazi era, whether he was still acceptable in his office. He was then retired. Federal Interior Minister Gerhard Schröder said:

“The answer is as follows. The Federal Public Prosecutor Dr. von Rosen has been in temporary retirement since the 4th of this month. When Dr. von Rosens not known. However, after the scriptures became known, the federal government considered him politically unsuitable for his current office. "

Subsequently, Rosen-von Hoewel became the managing director of the Association of German Automata Specialists e. V. and "was able", as Spiegel reported in April 1959, "to increase his retirement income from 1,800 marks by 3,000 marks a month". According to Philipp Mützel, von Rosen-von Hoewel settled as a lawyer in Munich after his retirement and devoted himself to his writing activities.
