Johannes Krohn

Johannes Krohn (born July 4, 1884 in Stettin , † July 11, 1974 in Bad Neuenahr ) was a German ministerial official.

Life

education

Born as the son of an accountant in Stettin , he graduated from high school in Magdeburg and then studied law . During his studies in 1903 he became a member of the Leipzig fraternity Germania . In 1911 he was at the University of Leipzig to Dr. jur. PhD.

In the Reich Service 1920–1945

Krohn joined the Reich Labor Ministry as a ministerial official in 1920 . In June 1927, as Ministerialrat , he was a signatory to an agreement with Finland on accident insurance .

He later became Andreas Grieser's successor on June 15, 1932, Head of Department II (National and International Social Insurance and Welfare ). In this function he played a key role in the creation of the so-called “Restructuring Act” of December 7, 1933. Despite assertions to the contrary, this law was by no means balanced, but favored employers to the detriment of employees and pensioners, and the preferences of the government became clear: "The recovery of the economy was an absolute priority, for which social security had to pay its price". With this law, at least one step was taken towards a return to a funding process based on funding. This “return” was a primary goal of the bureaucracy in the Reich Labor Ministry under the leadership of Johannes Krohn.

In 1933, Krohn was one of the founding members of the National Socialist Academy for German Law by Hans Frank .

He was then between 1933 and 1938, again as the successor to Andreas Grieser , State Secretary in the Reich Ministry of Labor. As such, Krohn was the author of the law on trustees of work.In this role, he was also entrusted with the reorganization of the settlement system in 1936.

After the beginning of the Second World War , Krohn was transferred to the " General Government " together with Max Frauendorfer . Krohn and Frauendorfer were supposed to set up the social administration there. In mid-November 1939 Frauendorfer Krohn succeeded as head of the main office for work in the "General Government". After leaving the Reich Ministry of Labor, he later succeeded Friedrich Ernst on October 31, 1941 with the rank of State Secretary, Reich Commissioner for the Treatment of Hostile Property.

After the end of the war

After the Second World War , alongside Andreas Grieser, he again had an influence on the design of social security laws. From 1953 to 1959 he was chairman of the Society for Insurance Science and Design in Cologne . From 1955 to 1968 he was chairman of the Federal Committee of Dentists and Health Insurance Funds , and also deputy chairman of the Federal Committee of Doctors and Health Insurance Funds .

For his 70th birthday, a commemorative publication was published in 1954 with contributions by Walter Bogs , Fritz Heinze , Walter Rohrbeck , Maximilian Sauerborn and other university professors. Also in 1954 he was awarded the Great Federal Cross of Merit. In 1959 the University of Cologne awarded him an honorary doctorate.
