Johannes Heinrich Stein (born November 4, 1866 in Danzig ; † June 7, 1941 in Oldenburg ) was a German administrative lawyer and finance minister of the Free State of Oldenburg .

Life

Johannes Stein was born as the eldest son of the grammar school director Heinrich Marcus Stein (1828–1917) and his wife Rosine Louise b. Bülcke (1842–1924) was born in Danzig. The father became director of the Oldenburg grammar school in 1869 . His younger sister was the painter and etcher Marie Stein-Ranke (1873–1964).

Stein grew up in Oldenburg and attended the grammar school run by his father. Subsequently, he studied from 1884 to 1887 law at the Universities of Halle , Leipzig and Göttingen . After completing his legal preparatory service in 1892, he entered the Oldenburg state service and in 1894 became an official assessor in Elsfleth . In 1897 he came to the Oldenburg Ministry of Finance as a laborer and quickly made a career there. As early as 1903 he was appointed lecturer council and in 1912 senior finance councilor.

In 1901 he continued to join the management of the State Credit Institution of the Duchy of Oldenburg . The focus of his work here was the promotion of the construction of settlement houses and small apartments in order to make the agricultural workers local. In addition, he campaigned for moorland and wasteland cultivation in order to gain more space for new settlements. In 1916 he was one of the founders of the Association of Public Credit Institutions in Berlin and in 1920 became chairman of the supervisory board of the Oldenburgische Landesbank .

When the formation of a new parliamentary government failed in April 1923 after the resignation of the Tantzen I government, a government of civil servants was set up as an interim solution , chaired by Eugen von Finckh . Stein took over the Ministry of Finance and Social Welfare as an independent financial expert and credit specialist. During the government reshuffle in June 1925, he was replaced by the candidate Bernhard Willers of the state bloc ( DVP and DNVP ) and received as compensation the position of President of the State Bank Board of Trustees and, from 1926, a State Commissioner of the State Bank. In 1932, Stein resigned from this office and also chaired the Landesbank's supervisory board and retired.
