from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hermann Großmann (born October 5, 1872 in Ober-Buchwald , Upper Silesia , † February 21, 1952 in Leipzig ) was a German economist and professor at the Leipzig Graduate School of Management .

Großmann received his diploma as a commercial teacher from the Leipzig Graduate School in 1900. His teacher was Abraham Adler . From 1916 he was full professor there . He was particularly active in the field of business taxation and founded the tax institute in Leipzig in 1920. He belonged to the Corps Hermunduria Leipzig.

From around 1923 he was the editor of the textbooks Grundriss der Betriebswirtschaft and Leitfaden der Handelswissenschaft (Findeisen-Großmann) founded by Carl Franz Findeisen . In November 1933 he signed the declaration of professors at German universities and colleges about Adolf Hitler . He joined the NSDAP in 1933 in order to satisfy Rector Gerhard Wörner's wish to be able to show some party members for the university. He considered himself a mere "bearer of names and needles". His opponent at the university, Ernst Schultze , on the other hand, thought he was a philosemite . (Mantel, p. 230)

Großmann was buried in the Old Annenfriedhof in Dresden , but his grave has not been preserved.
