Hugo Holthöfer (* December 4, 1883 in horses field ; † April 18, 1958 in West Berlin ) was a German lawyer , author and politician ( LDP , FDP ).

Life

He began his professional career in 1910 as a court assessor and assistant judge in Sulzbach (Saar) before he became a district judge in Berlin-Köpenick in 1912 . In 1920 he came to the Justice Ministry with the rank of district judge ; In 1921 he became Ministerialrat and in 1928 Ministerialdirigent .

In 1928 he left the ministry and went on to serve as President of the Königsberg Higher Regional Court in East Prussia . He then worked as an author of food law publications.

After the war, Holthöfer worked in the central administration for health care in the Soviet Occupation Zone (SBZ) and soon became involved in the Berlin LDP.

After the Berlin election in October 1946 , the LDP formed the government together with the SPD and CDU under Lord Mayor Ostrowski (SPD).

After the appointment of Holthöfer's party colleague Carl Delius as city councilor and department head for the postal and telecommunications system of Greater Berlin was refused by the Allied command , Holthöfer was appointed to this position in January 1947.

Holthöfer also retained this department when Ostrowski resigned and Louise Schroeder (SPD) took over the mayor's office. Even after Ernst Reuter (SPD) took office, Holthöfer remained in his department.

In 1950 the LDP was renamed FDP, so that Holthöfer was now a member of the FDP. As such, he was a member of the Berlin House of Representatives in 1952 . After the Berlin state constitution came into force in 1951, his official title changed to that of senator .

After Ernst Reuter's death and the break of the three-party coalition, Holthöfer also remained post senator under Walther Schreiber , but switched to the health department on November 4 (1954–1955). After the lost Berlin election in 1954, in which the SPD under Otto Suhr had achieved an absolute majority and now formed a coalition with the CDU, the FDP went into the opposition and Holthöfer resigned (1955).

Holthöfer had been a member of the Corps Marchia Berlin since 1955 .
