from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martin Schliep (born April 16, 1891 in Berlin ; died May 27, 1964 in Wiesbaden ) was a German diplomat who was ambassador to Albania in 1944 .

Life

After attending school, Schliep studied law at the Royal University of Greifswald . There he completed his doctorate in 1914 with the dissertation The doctor's claims against the parents from the treatment of a common child .

Schliep later entered the foreign service and was deployed at the headquarters of the Foreign Office and at various missions abroad . In 1933 he acted as counselor and chargé d' affaires at the legation in Poland . From 1936 to 1941 he was a lecturer in the Legation Council and Head of Section V Eastern Europe (Poland, Free City of Danzig, Soviet Union) in the Political Department of the Foreign Office. Wilhelm Mackeben was one of the speakers in his presentation . The template for SS-Obergruppenführer Werner Lorenz with the title “German Minority Policy towards Poland” by the Head of Unit Schliep bears Mackebens' paraphor. In August 1938 he prepared another document for Lorenz in his function as head of the Volksdeutsche Mittelstelle (VoMi), in which he warned of the strict centralization policy of the VoMi.

In 1941, Schliep was the successor to Eberhard von Pannwitz, initially consul general in Tirana . On August 21, 1943 he was ordered to Rome by Reich Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop , where he was commissioned to prepare the mood in the country for the Germans. The main aim of the Reich Foreign Minister was to found a negotiable, friendly German government. He then scoured the political landscape of Albania for potential collaborators. His task was also to find popular politicians who, with German political and military help, could get the country “under control” as quickly as possible. As such, he and Josef Fitzthum , the Reichsführer SS representative for Albania, contributed to the removal of the then Prime Minister of Albania Fiqri Dine on August 29 after only 43 days because of his contacts with the Allies . In June 1944 he became envoy to Albania and held this office until October 16, 1944.

After the end of the Second World War and the re-establishment of the Foreign Office in the Federal Republic of Germany , Schliep returned to the foreign service and was initially a lecturer in the Legation before he was appointed Consul General in Genoa in November 1954 .
