Johannes Muntau (born October 29, 1876 in Mehlsack , East Prussia , † March 22, 1963 in Celle ) was a German judicial officer (prison director) and politician (CSVD).
Live and act
Muntau studied law at the Albertina in Königsberg and became a member of the Corps Baltia in 1897 and of the successor corps Albertina Hamburg in 1950. After completing his studies, he worked as a public prosecutor in Königsberg. From 1910 Muntau was active in the penal service, in which he finally made it to the head of the penal institution in Celle.
In 1925 Muntau founded the Black Cross Christian Criminal Aid . In the same year he became chairman of the Association of German Protection Associations for released prisoners . From 1927 to 1933 he also chaired the Reich Association for Judicial Aid and Prisoner Aid . His commitment in the church also led Muntau to the Christian Social Service , for which he successfully ran for the Reichstag in the 1930 Reichstag election. He was a member of it until the July 1932 elections.
On August 26, 1933, Muntau was prematurely retired. Nevertheless, he was soon transferred to the management of a penal institution in Saxony-Anhalt , which he ran for almost six years before he was retired again on August 1, 1939 - and this time for good.
