Martin Dresse (born March 30, 1880 in Staffelstein ; † November 29, 1969 ) was a German lawyer .

Life

On August 1, 1909, he became third public prosecutor, on May 12, 1919, second public prosecutor at the Munich I public prosecutor's office. On November 16, 1924, he became district judge in Passau , from January 1, 1929, first public prosecutor, and on April 1, 1932, district court director Munich I .

Dresse was against the National Socialist movement. This was particularly evident in the Hitler trial , in which he was involved in 1924 as the second public prosecutor under the first public prosecutor Ludwig Stenglein .

This opposition was to lead to his transfer after the National Socialists came to power in 1933. He informed him “that it was envisaged that he would be replaced on the basis of Section 5 (I) of the Law for the Restoration of the Professional Civil Service [of April 7, 1933, RGBl. (1933), p. 175] to be transferred to an office of lower rank outside of Munich. Dresse thereupon asked for permanent retirement, to which he was entitled on the basis of Section 5 (II) ... ". He retired on January 1, 1934.

From May 9, 1945 to October 21, 1945 he was District Administrator of the Starnberg district .

Archival Councilor Dr. Reinhard Weber from the Munich State Archives writes about him in a letter: “Dresse was a conservative but correct judicial officer who, although a victim of the Nazis, was not used to rebuild the judiciary after 1945. That offended him very much. That is why he wrote his memoirs , which mainly deal with the right-wing Bavarian judiciary of the 1920s. "
