Life

Origin and education

As the son of a domain tenant , Kurt Dingerdissen studied law from 1927 to 1931 after attending grammar school at the universities of Göttingen , Munich and Greifswald . After passing the 1st state legal examination on May 9, 1931, he was appointed court trainee on July 31 of the same year . A short time later, on February 1, 1932, he joined the National Socialist German Workers' Party .

After passing the 2nd state examination on April 14, 1935, he switched to the Prussian administrative service on June 15, 1936 and was appointed government assessor , where he initially found employment at the Frankenstein district office in Lower Silesia , then Dingerdissen completed his training and resigned with the Appointment as government assessor on May 1, 1936 in the Prussian administrative service.

Career

Dingerdissen's rise began with his transfer on February 1, 1937 to the Upper Presidium of the Rhine Province in Koblenz . In the same year the Protestant Kurt Dingerdissen married Ursula Hannig on August 14th in Frankenstein (born on August 14th, 1913 in Priebus ). After he had received the appointment to government council in Koblenz on April 1, 1939 , Dingerdissen received five weeks before the start of the Second World War, on July 25, 1939, the assignment to the representative administration of the Monschau district office. His predecessor in this office, Alfred von Gescher, was only 46 years old and was put into temporary retirement on July 20, 1939. While the inauguration in Monschau followed on August 15th and the provisional appointment as district administrator in Monschau on December 22nd, the advancing war caused the first interruptions.

A first delegation during the war learned Dingerdissen when he until January 1941 as a liaison officer of his former superior of November 1939 Josef Terboven , the Provincial President of the Rhine Province , the head of the civil administration of the army group and in Kriegsverwaltungs- or military service was used. From January 2, 1941, Dingerdissen again occupied the position of district administrator in Monschau and received his definitive appointment in this phase on May 29, retroactively to May 1, 1941. From March 27, 1942, however, he was a war participant until the end of May 1945.

Formally, Kurt Dingerdissen remained District Administrator of the Monschau district until May 1945, but his wartime absences required occupations on a representative basis. From the beginning of the war on September 1, 1939, Heinz Ehmke , the district administrator of Malmedy, was appointed to represent him, which he also provided in two phases in 1939/1940 and 1941/1942, before he himself was drafted into military service in March 1943 and fell on the Eastern Front . Ehmke was followed by Axel von Rappard from June 23, 1942 to November 30, 1943, Josef Schramm from December 1, 1943 and, in the meantime, Eupen District Administrator Felix Seulen . After the Allies had liberated the district, they finally appointed Walter Scheibler on September 12, 1944 .

At the end of the war, Dingerdissen fell into French captivity , which lasted until January 1947. With a decree of November 23, 1949, he was finally retired on March 1, 1950. In the same year, Dingerdissen founded a law firm as a lawyer and notary , to which he himself belonged until his death in 1994.
