Helmut Rebitzki

Helmut Rebitzki (born June 15, 1896 in Posen , † May 21, 1968 ) was a German politician.

Life and activity

After attending school, Rebitzki studied law. He received his doctorate in 1922 with a thesis on the guest accommodation contract at the University of Breslau . He then settled in Wroclaw as a lawyer and notary . In this position he defended numerous Silesian SA men in lawsuits at the beginning of the 1930s .

After the National Socialists came to power, Rebitzki was appointed Lord Mayor of Breslau in 1933, employed by Otto Wagner (politician, 1877) . He remained in this position until 1934. In 1934, shortly before the end of his probationary period as Lord Mayor, Rebitzki was dismissed from his post. This was justified by the fact that “during his one-year term of office he [had] failed to prove that he was a National Socialist at the head of the city administration” and because he had “missed everything that a National Socialist administrative official had in his office must be demanded. ” Hans Fridrich was appointed as his successor .

In the summer of 1934 it was reported, in some cases by mistake, abroad that Rebitzki had been killed in the course of the wave of political cleansing carried out by the Nazi regime in the summer of 1934 ( Röhm Putsch ).

After the Second World War, Rebitzki lived in Reinhausen above Göttingen .

family

Rebitzki married Edith Charlotte Dorothea von Cederstolpe on October 6, 1928 in Glogau (born May 2, 1908 in Glogau).
