Kurt unconcerned

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kurt Ohnesorge (born January 25, 1878 in Forsthaus Granenberg near Eberswalde , † January 18, 1961 in Berlin ) was a German lawyer .

Act

In 1926, Ohnesorge was one of the founders of the German Society for Mammal Studies (DGS); from 1937 to 1942 he was its president.

Life

Richter was without concern , among other things, in the rejected Jorn trial in 1929, in the Edenpalast trial , in the Kurfürstendamm riot of 1931 and in the Caro-Petschek trial (1932), one of the most costly criminal trials in the final phase of the Weimar Republic .

In 1934, as district court director at the Berlin district court , he headed the trial of the murder of Hans Maikowski , in which he did not give in to pressure from the National Socialist press to impose death sentences. As a result, after a "disapproval" by Roland Freisler, he was professionally sidelined by the National Socialists .

He was married to a daughter of Engelbert Humperdinck (Irmgart, born 1896). Unesorge began to deal with biology in 1919/20. He often went to the zoological institute, attended lectures, and made excursions with Konrad Herter (1891–1980). Herter describes him as an "intelligent, witty, humorous, and very educated man with incredible knowledge in all areas". After 1945 he successfully pretended to be a biology teacher in order to avoid being arrested as a lawyer by the Soviet occupying forces.
