Hartmut Schulze-Boysen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hartmut Schulze-Boysen (born February 21, 1922 in Duisburg as Hartmut Schulze ; † July 14, 2013 in Bonn ) was a German diplomat .

Life

Hartmut Schulze was born as the youngest of three children of Marie Luise Boysen, a niece of the sociologist Ferdinand Tönnies and the naval officer Erich Edgar Schulze, a nephew of Admiral Alfred von Tirpitz . His older brother was the civil servant in the Reich Aviation Ministry and resistance fighter Harro Schulze-Boysen , his sister-in-law Libertas Schulze-Boysen . In memory of his brother, who was executed in 1942, Hartmut Schulze also adopted the double name Schulze-Boysen.

Schulze-Boysen succeeded in getting the Berlin public prosecutor's office to overturn the ruling of the Reich Court Martial against his brother Harro on February 24, 2006 - 63 years after his execution.

After the Second World War , which he spent in a sanatorium in Switzerland , he studied economics in Freiburg im Breisgau and then worked in the German Foreign Service from 1950 to 1987 . There, he held, among others, the post of press officer at the embassy in Washington , and later to the Messenger (sometimes also representative of the Ambassador and de facto [but not Titulaer] Ambassador ) in Tokyo , the Consul General in New York and the ambassador in Bucharest for Ceaușescu time. From 1977 to 1979 he was Consul General in São Paulo , Brazil . He last lived in Bonn and Spain.

Wilhelm Grewe called him his closest colleague in his memoirs and, with a view to the “Schu-Boys” diplomatic working style, emphasized his unsentimental, objective manner and his inclination not to utter unnecessary words. From 1952 to 1954 the Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution collected material against him because he was allegedly a communist, simply because his brother made him suspect.
