Joachim Wilkerling

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joachim Wilkerling (born September 5, 1900 ; † early summer 1967 probably in Hanover ) was a German lawyer.

Life

Wilkerling received his doctorate in 1927 at the law and political science faculty of the University of Halle (Saale) with his dissertation The calculation of procedural deadlines, especially intermediate deadlines (Verlag H. Sieling, Naumburg an der Saale 1927). Here he was also a member of the Ascania Halle choir , which was affiliated with the special houses association . He was also a member of the AMV Cheruscia Hannover .

During the time of National Socialism he worked in the Reich Ministry of Justice as a clerk for political criminal matters and was appointed Ministerialrat on November 25, 1944 . In his department, tens of thousands of death sentences have been "examined" and, in most cases, confirmed. He was also a higher regional judge .

After the end of the Second World War , Wilkerling was one of the first lawyers in the Federal Republic of Germany and was ministerial director in the Lower Saxony Ministry of Justice . In 1956 he worked as the official representative of the Lower Saxony state justice administration at the Great Criminal Law Commission for the creation of the major criminal law reform . He was also a permanent employee of Goltdammer's Archive for Criminal Law , edited by Heinrich Grützner, Ministerialrat in the Federal Ministry of Justice.

After his Nazi past became known through the revelations of the GDR in 1965, Wilkerling was removed from his position in the Lower Saxony Ministry of Justice.

Joachim Wilkerling was the 2nd chairman of the Alter Herren Verein der Sondershäuser Association of Academic-Musical Associations , for whose 100th anniversary he had completed the commemorative publication with the history of the Sondershäuser Association. He died just a few weeks before the anniversary celebration (July 20-24, 1967). The VASV Representatives Day in Munich posthumously awarded him the honorary chairmanship.
