Mathias Eynck

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mathias Eynck (born July 17, 1914 in Brambauer ; † August 6, 1998 in Lünen ) was a German criminal investigator , most recently director of the State Criminal Police Office in North Rhine-Westphalia .

Career

After finishing his school career, Eynck completed training as a police administration officer in Dortmund in 1937 . As a member of the Wehrmacht , he took part in World War II , most recently as captain of the reserve . At the end of October 1941, he was given a four-month leave of absence from military service to complete his police training.

After the end of the war, Eynck, who was neither a member of the NSDAP nor the SS , was dismissed from the police force during the denazification by the military administration in October 1946 - due to his former military rank in the Wehrmacht. He then worked temporarily at the Dortmund District Court until he was able to return to the police force at the beginning of October 1947. From the spring of 1957 he headed the criminal police in Hagen . From April 1960 he headed the Criminal Group E (State Security) in the North Rhine-Westphalian State Criminal Police Office based in Düsseldorf . At the beginning of December 1961 he became a specialist teacher at the Hiltrup Police Institute until he took over the management of the Dortmund police in April 1966. After all, from the beginning of December 1969 until his retirement at the end of July 1974 he was director of the State Criminal Police Office in North Rhine-Westphalia. In 1973 he received the Federal Cross of Merit, 1st class.

A study presented in December 2019 by the historian Martin Hölzl on behalf of the LKA North Rhine-Westphalia examined the Nazi past of the first six heads of the NRW State Criminal Police Office. In contrast to the unencumbered Eynck and his successor Hamacher , Hölzl came to the conclusion that the first four directors of the State Criminal Police Office were involved in Nazi crimes to varying degrees.
