Heinz Müllensiefen

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich Müllensiefen (born April 5, 1902 ; † after 1972) was a German legal scholar , antitrust law expert and later an intimate expert on the economic steering associations of the Nazi state . For decades he worked in various kinds of business associations.

Professional background

Heinz Müllensiefen came from a traditional entrepreneurial dynasty in the Brandenburg Sauerland south of the Ruhr area . An older relative of his was Heinrich Müllensiefen . He studied in the early 1920s. Since 1921 he was a member of the Corps Guestphalia Heidelberg . He then received his doctorate in 1926. During the National Socialist era , during the 1930s, he earned the position of a leading expert on antitrust law ; he was u. a. Head of the Antitrust Supervision Department of the Reichsgruppe Industrie in Berlin. His professional field changed in the early 1940s during the Second World War with the emergence of the economic steering associations of the Third Reich. In October 1941, Müllensiefen became managing director of the newly formed “German Cement Association”, a modern steering cartel with far-reaching tasks in Germany as well as in German-occupied Europe. Müllensiefen was essentially a technocrat who had made a career during the Third Reich and was closely associated with the state apparatus. So he worked constructively in the Academy for German Law , a not only line-loyal, but line-giving think tank of National Socialism .

After 1945, Müllensiefen lost all his offices and was initially privatized. From 1949 he was employed by the newly founded West German Federation of German Industry for some time as a cartel expert in order to argue against the planned law against restraints of competition and the impending ban on cartels. In 1963, Müllensiefen published in the commemorative publication of his lawyer colleague Max Metzner (and was not marked as deceased in it).
