Martin Sogemeier

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Martin Sogemeier (born April 5, 1893 in Bergkirchen / Lippe-Detmold, † June 26, 1962 in Essen ) was a German economic functionary.

Life and activity

Sogemeier was a son of Hermann Heinrich Moritz Sogemeier and his wife Anna Marie Elisabeth. After attending school, Sogemeier studied law and political science. He took part in the First World War as a lieutenant. In 1918 he worked in the War Office of the Deputy General Command in Münster and the Demobilization Office.

In the early 1920s, Sogemeier got a job as a deputy in-house counsel at the chambers of industry and commerce in Bochum and Essen. At the beginning of 1922 he moved to Berlin as head of the Berlin office of the special purpose association of northwest German business representations. During this time he was in close contact with managers of the coal industry such as Paul Reusch and with economic functionaries such as August Heinrichsbauer and Hans Danckwerts .

In 1938 Sogemeier succeeded Löwenstein as managing director of the mining association (association for mining interests) and the Ruhr district group of the coal mining specialist group, which he remained until 1945. Since 1942 he was also managing director of the RVK and managing director of the coal mining industry group Ruhr. After Hitler issued his so-called " Nero order " on March 19, 1945 to destroy all infrastructure, Sogemeier succeeded in convincing Paul Pleiger of the nonsense of this order: "Two determined men had prevented a European catastrophe".

After the Second World War , Sogemeier came to Düsseldorf , where he worked as a syndic in the iron and steel industry from 1945 to 1949. In 1949 he returned to mining when he was appointed director of the “Sales” department in the coal mining management in Essen (DKBL).

In October 1950, Sogemeier was appointed by the then Minister of Economics, Ludwig Erhard, as special representative for closing the coal supply gap (also referred to as: Federal Commissioner for domestic coal supply; representative for the regulation of domestic coal sales; Federal coal commissioner). This position, in which he was concerned with the organization of the distribution of the coal supply that was scarce at the time in West Germany, he held until 1953. At that time he was also on the board of directors of the German Coal Mining Administration. From 1953 to 1955 he was general manager of the Ruhrbergbau business association and executive board member of the mining association .
