Martin Heidenhain (judge)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martin Heidenhain (* 22. December 1880 in Marienwerder ; † 9. October 1954 in Karlsruhe ) was a German Reichsgerichtsrat and judge at the Federal Court .

Life

Heidenhain's father was a high school professor. In 1903 he was promoted to Dr. phil. PhD. He passed the 1905 and 1910 exams with “good”. In 1911 he became a court assessor. In 1913 he came to Opole as a district judge. He took part in the First World War as a first lieutenant in the reserve. In 1919 he joined the DNVP , but left it again the following year for reasons that were not clear. He became a district judge in Opole and Kiel and later worked as a higher regional judge in Kiel and as a member of the chamber judge. In 1931 he was appointed to the Reichsgericht as a laborer with the rank of district court director (in Berlin). In August 1933 he was appointed Reich judge. He was in the III. and I. Civil Senate employed. In 1943 he was forcibly retired because one grandparent was Jewish. The driving force behind the demands of the Senate Presidents in 1936/37 and 1941/42 to Heidenhain that he should retire was the President of the Reich Court of Justice Bumke . In 1936/37, Heidenhain was only able to hold onto postponement of office through an intervention at the Reich Ministry of Justice . In 1950 he became a judge at the Federal Court of Justice. There he came to the First Civil Senate , where he met his former Senate colleagues Fritz Lindenmaier  (1881–1960) and Hermann Weinkauff  (1894–1981) and, since the business allocation plan of both courts was cut similarly, spoke again in the same matters.
