Life

In the area of ​​the state peasantry of Kurhessen he rigorously implemented the anti-Jewish policy of the NSDAP: by the end of August 1938 there were no more Jewish cattle dealers, butchers or intestinal shops.

In 1933 he was chairman of the Kurhessischer Kommunallandtag and a member of the Provincial Parliament of the Hesse-Nassau Province , both of which were dissolved on July 17, 1933.

In parallel to his work as a peasant functionary, he served in the Race and Settlement Main Office (RuSHA) of the SS from the late 1930s . He was promoted to SS-Sturmbannführer in May 1936 and to SS-Obersturmbannführer in April 1939 . From RuSHA he moved to the Reich Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories (RMfdbO), established in July 1941 , where in 1942 he was deputy head of department III E 2 “Production” in Chief Group III E “Food and Agriculture” in Main Department III “Economy” is. In this position he was concerned with the planning of the agricultural use of the occupied areas, in particular within the framework of the General Plan East . On February 9, 1943, with a patent from January 30, 1943, he was promoted to SS-Standartenführer , on January 30, 1944 to SS-Oberführer and on January 30, 1945 to SS-Brigadführer. On November 9, 1944, when there had been no more occupied eastern territories to administer for a long time, he was transferred back to the SS Race and Settlement Main Office. For his work in World War II, he received the War Merit Cross, Class II and Class I, each with swords, and the SS skull ring .
