Joachim-Friedrich von Owstien

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joachim-Friedrich von Owstien (born December 5, 1881 in Fürstenwalde, Lebus district , † September 29, 1970 in Quedlinburg ) was a German lawyer. He was chairman of the Hereditary Health Supreme Court in Berlin, cell leader of the NSDAP , head of the nobility law department of the German Aristocratic Association (DAG) and until 1945 President of the Senate of the Berlin Court of Appeal.

Life

He came from the Pomeranian noble family Owstien and was the son of the later Prussian lieutenant colonel Georg von Owstien (1849-1914) and his wife Vally von Leipziger (1855-1922) from a Saxon noble family.

In contrast to many of his ancestors, Joachim-Friedrich did not pursue a military career, but studied law. In 1908 he got his first job as a court assessor. From 1914 to 1920 he worked as a government assessor in the Prussian Heroldsamt and was involved in the dissolution of the office. In the same year he was appointed district judge at District Court II in Berlin. In 1924 he was promoted to the chamber judge.

With the introduction of the law for the prevention of genetically ill offspring of July 14, 1933, the establishment of an hereditary health supreme court in the capital of Berlin was regulated, the chairman of which was Joachim-Friedrich von Owstien. In this function he was involved in the implementation of the National Socialist racial hygiene , which degraded people to the mere object of state power of disposal. Most recently, Joachim-Friedrich von Owstien was President of the Senate of the Berlin Court of Appeal.

After 1945 he held the title of Senate President at the Kammergericht a. D. As such, it can be proven in 1957.
