Life

Burmeister was the son of the district court director and later district court president Heinrich Burmeister (1832-1918) in Güstrow. He passed the Abitur at the cathedral school in Güstrow and then studied law in Tübingen, Berlin and Rostock. In 1902 he became a member of the Corps Suevia Tübingen . Burmeister passed the first state law examination in 1904 and the second in 1908. In 1913 he became a district judge in Neustadt. In 1914 he came to the Rostock regional court as a public prosecutor. In 1919 he was appointed district judge there. In 1923 he worked as an assistant judge for the Reich Attorney General. The next year he returned to Rostock as a district judge. In 1926 he became the first public prosecutor there. In 1927 he was promoted to senior public prosecutor. On New Year's Day 1930 he became regional court director in Rostock and on December 1, 1930 President of the Rostock Higher Regional Court . After the transfer of power to the NSDAP , he was initially left in office by Justice Minister Scharf . Heinrich Burmeister also headed the Rostock Hereditary Health Court in Rostock from 1933 . Gauleiter Hildebrandt pushed for the recall of Burmeister in 1934 because he was not compliant to the wishes of the NSDAP. Although 18 higher regional court attorneys referred for him, he was given leave of absence in November 1934 due to the boiling point. The leave of absence was reversed in December and the Reich Ministry of Justice decided that Burmeister was appointed to the Reich Court on February 1, 1935 . For the President of the Higher Regional Court, the appeal to the Reichsgericht was tantamount to demotion. He was in the Imperial Court in VII. And III. Civil Senate active. In 1945 he was arrested by the NKVD and died in 1946 in special camp No. 1 in Mühlberg.
