Heinrich Refardt
Heinrich Refardt (* 10. February 1892 in Bachstedt today Markvippach , Thuringia , † 6. March 1968 in Timmerloh in Soltau ) was a German local lawyer, police chief in Duisburg-Hamborn and district president of the Prussian administrative district Aurich (to 1936) and in the administrative district of Frankfurt (1937-1945).
Life
Career
Refardt attended the humanistic grammar school in Weimar . He then studied law and political science in Freiburg, Munich and Göttingen. In Freiburg he became a member of the Corps Hasso-Borussia . After taking his legal traineeship in 1914, he took part in the First World War. During the war he served in the Jäger Regiment on Horseback No. 6 in Erfurt .
After the war Refardt received his training as a government trainee in the Hanover government from 1919. In 1921, after having passed the assessor examination, he was employed as an assessor in the Gumbinnen government (1921–1926) and promoted to the government council in 1925. In October 1932 he joined the NSDAP (membership number 1.348.563), previously he had been a member of the DVP from 1925 and of the DNVP from 1931 . From the beginning of 1927 Refardt worked in the government in Düsseldorf and became a department head there . In December 1932 he took over the official business of the police chief in Hagen . Since he was considered reliable by the National Socialists after the seizure of power , he was appointed Police President in Duisburg-Hamborn on March 1, 1933. On September 11, 1933, he was appointed deputy regional president in Aurich because the previous post holder Gustav Bansi did not fulfill all the illegal wishes of the National Socialist leaders in East Frisia. For example, Bansi had refused, at the request of the Emden Council, which was dominated by the Nazis, to depose the long-time mayor of Emden, Wilhelm Mützelburg , in order to make room for a National Socialist. Refardt immediately complied with this request from the National Socialists. He later took over the post of regional president and stayed here until 1936. In December 1936 he was appointed regional president of the Frankfurt (Oder) administrative district.
Within the Sturmabteilung he rose to SA standard leader in November 1943. He was also a member of the SS. He was also a member of the National Socialist Lawyers' Association (NSRB).
Because he was linked to the assassins on July 20, he was imprisoned in Moabit remand prison for six weeks in 1944 . Since the examining magistrate could not prove a connection, Refardt was reinstated as district president.
After the German defeat in World War II , Refardt and his employees fled from the Red Army to Schleswig-Holstein in early 1945 . Refardt had already been dismissed from his office by the Soviets as a victim of Nazi charges. Then he was imprisoned by the English in the Neuengamme internment camp for two years .
In 1948 Refardt was officially retired as district president. From January 1952 he worked for the Association of Taxpayers Lower Saxony and Bremen eV in Hanover, for which from 1957 to 1962 he was also a member of the board.

Refardt married Friederike Zambona (born March 31, 1900) in 1921. The couple had three children, the daughters Marieliese (* 1923), Inge (* 1926) and son Heinrich (* 1934).
