Hugo Hermann Stinnes , often referred to as Hugo Stinnes junior , (born October 16, 1897 in Mülheim an der Ruhr ; † March 10, 1982 ibid) was a German entrepreneur and the second oldest son of Hugo Stinnes .
Entrepreneurial career
After the death of his father Hugo Stinnes in 1924, he and his brother Edmund Hugo Stinnes took over the business of Stinnes AG . He was a member of the supervisory board of the Rheinisch-Westphalian coal syndicate . In 1925 he, now the sole head of the company, had to transfer the heavily indebted group to an American holding company in which the family only owned 50 percent. The group fell apart. In 1929 Stinnes was charged with cheating on the German Reich with incorrectly dated government bonds, but was acquitted. His private secretary was convicted.
Stinnes took part in the secret meeting of February 20, 1933 , at which the industry decided on an election fund of 3 million Reichsmarks for the NSDAP . After a dispute with his mother Cläre Stinnes , he left Hugo Stinnes oHG in 1956 . He then built up a new, heavily nested group around Atlas-Werke AG in Bremen, which practically collapsed in 1963, heavily in debt, and had to be sold for the most part to avoid bankruptcy.
family
His first marriage to Tilde Will had three children: Dieter (* 1920), Hugo (* 1922) and Will (* 1926). After this marriage was divorced in 1941, he married Birte Jensen from Denmark. He had three other children with her: Albert Hugo (* 1942), Birte Marie (* 1943) and Ellen (* 1946).
In 1926 Hugo Hermann Stinnes took part in the 8th International Six-Day Tour on a Phelon & Moore motorcycle and won a gold medal in the end.
