Heinrich Karl Paul Rabeling (born August 24, 1890 in Oldenburg (Oldb) ; † May 24, 1956 in Bad Godesberg ) was Lord Mayor of Oldenburg from 1933 to 1945.
Life
Heinrich Rabeling grew up in Oldenburg as the son of the businessman Karl Rabeling (1864–1922) and his wife Julie née. Strackerjan (1864-1938) and attended the old grammar school in Oldenburg . He studied law at the University of Grenoble and the Albert Ludwig University of Freiburg . In 1911 he was reciprocated in the Corps Hasso-Borussia Freiburg . As an inactive , he moved to the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin and the Christian-Albrechts-Universität zu Kiel . He completed his studies with a doctorate to become a Dr. iur. from. In 1913 he began his traineeship training, which was interrupted in August 1914 by the outbreak of the First World War, in which Rabeling participated as a soldier from 1914 to 1918. After the war he became a member of the Stahlhelm-Bund . He then finished his training and entered the Oldenburg civil service as an assessor in 1920 . First, he was in the Ministry of the Interior, then in office Westerstede , Office Oldenburg and Office Friesoythe operates. There he became official governor in 1923.
In 1926 he was promoted to Chief Finance Council and took over the chairmanship of the Oldenburg State Bank Directorate. At the same time he also became 1st co-manager of the State Credit Institution, the State Savings Bank and the Public Life Insurance Company in the Oldenburger Land . Politically he was close to the DNVP . When the National Socialists took power in the Free State of Oldenburg after the state elections in 1932 , Rabeling was removed from chairmanship of the State Bank Directorate in October 1932 , apparently because he had spoken out against Prime Minister Carl Röver's half-baked loan creation plans.
On January 13, 1933, Rabeling was elected Lord Mayor of the City of Oldenburg and on January 17, 1933 he was appointed to his office.
His choice was related to the heavy losses suffered by the NSDAP in the Reichstag elections in November 1932 , in which the DNVP was able to win, however, and in this respect the NSDAP was intensively courted for a coalition. The party leadership was also prepared to make concessions to the DNVP. Immediately after taking office, Rabeling joined the NSDAP and otherwise adapted to the new rulers. In 1940 his term of office was therefore extended for a further twelve years with the consent of Röver, who had meanwhile been promoted to Reich Governor, without advertising the position. When Oldenburg was occupied by British troops on May 5, 1945 at the end of the Second World War , the British military administration relieved Rabeling of his office and arrested him.
After his release from a British detention center, he practiced as a lawyer.
