Hartwig von Engel

Hartwig von Engel (born July 17, 1873 in Ludwigslust ; † December 27, 1926 in Wiesbaden ) was a German administrative lawyer and politician.

Von Engel was the son of Major General Hans von Engel (1838–1905). He passed his Abitur in 1893 and then studied law at the Universities of Lausanne, Munich and Göttingen and was awarded a Dr. jur. PhD. After the legal traineeship, he was a one-year-old volunteer in 1896/97 and retired from service as a reserve lieutenant. He then worked at the Moringen District Court until April 1898 and then at the Hanover Royal District Court and the Hanover District Office. From October 1900 he was a government trainee and worked for the Kassel government , the Hofgeismar district office and the Marburg magistrate . After passing the second state examination in October 1903, he became a government assessor and was transferred to the police headquarters in Leipzig as an assistant worker . From 1805 he was employed as a laborer in the Ministry of Trade and Industry. In 1907 he married. The marriage had four children.

On July 15, 1907, he became provisional and in January 1908, he became district administrator in the Einbeck district . From 1916 to 1920 he was a member of the Provincial Parliament of the Province of Hanover .

After the November Revolution, a group of revolutionary soldiers declared him deposed on November 9, 1918, but he remained in office. In January 1919 he fell seriously ill, was on sick leave for six weeks and was therefore unable to attend the 53rd Provincial Parliament.

On March 25, 1920 and again in April 1920, the SPD called for Einbeck to be replaced as district administrator, since he would support the Kapp Putsch . Under threats, workers prevented him from attending the district committee meeting in March 1920, after which he resigned the chairmanship of the district committee. When he refused to display the registration lists for the referendum on the compensation for the prince , he was given leave of absence on March 10, 1926 by the Prussian Minister of the Interior, Carl Severing , and was then put into temporary retirement. He moved to Wiesbaden in October 1926, where he died of a brain hemorrhage.
