Hermann Middendorf

Hermann Middendorf (born November 4, 1897 in Göttingen ; died November 27, 1981 in Mettmann ) was a German district administrator in the district of Bernkastel (1933–1945) and the district of Wittlich (1940–1942).

Life

The Catholic Hermann Middendorf was the son of the District Court Councilor Heinrich Middendorf and his wife Klara Middendorf, née Kerkhoff. Initially taught at private schools, Middendorf then attended the humanistic grammar school in his hometown of Göttingen, before taking his school leaving examination in Duderstadt in the middle of the First World War in 1916 . He then took up law and political science studies at the University of Göttingen in 1917 , which he graduated in 1923. When he passed the first state examination and entered the Prussian administrative service in 1923, he was appointed government trainee, followed on July 13, 1928 by the major state examination, which was followed by the appointment of a government assessor . He found his first job as an unskilled worker at the district office of the Kreuznach district or, from March 1, 1930, in Mettmann, at the local administration of the Düsseldorf-Mettmann district .

After the National Socialists seized power , the district administration office in Bernkastel became vacant due to the retirement on July 5, 1933 of the previous incumbent Friedrich Gorius . Initially on August 22, 1933 by way of representative administration, but finally also in December of the same year by appointment as provisional district administrator and on January 18, 1934 with a definitive appointment and retrospectively to January 1, Middendorf was transferred to the management in Bernkastel. After the recall for military service (July 21, 1940) of his Wittlich counterpart Günther Kraaz , he took over the administration of this district by way of representation until the handover as Aloys Castenholz (March 26, 1942).

Dismissed with the collapse of the administration in the German Reich and the occupation of the district by Allied troop units in 1945, Middendorf found employment with the government in Trier from 1948 to 1949 , but was then initially without an office from 1949 to 1950, before being re-appointed in 1950 Government employee in Trier. There he received his appointment to the government council in 1951, in 1952 to the senior government council and in 1954 also to the government director. He retired there on May 31, 1959.

Hermann Middendorf was married to Gerda Woisin, the daughter of the grammar school professor Johannes Woisin and his wife Anna Woisin, née Ehmsen, since 1933.
