Life

Gleitze, son of a forester, studied theology , philosophy and economics at the universities in Würzburg , Munich and Göttingen from 1922 to 1925 . In 1922 he joined the Catholic student union WKSt.V. Unitas Munich . He completed his studies with a degree in economics and obtained his doctorate rerum politicarum at the University of Rostock in 1927 . Until 1933 he was politically involved in the Catholic Center Party in Hanover and actively fought as a party speaker against the NSDAP . After Adolf Hitler came to power in 1933, this led to his dismissal without notice from his position as an advisor to the governor in the administration of the Prussian province of Hanover . Through his membership in the Union of Catholic Academic Student Associations , a federal brother placed him in an insurance company after a year and a half of unemployment. During the entire time in the Third Reich , he never made a secret of his opposition to Nazi rule and thereby put himself in several danger. After the end of the Second World War , he was re-employed in the public service in 1947 as a political victim of the Nazi regime as a consultant in the Lower Saxony Ministry of Economics and Transport. In 1948 he was elected by the district council of the district of Duderstadt / Lower Saxony as senior district director (head of the district administration). He held this office until his retirement in 1967. From 1968 to 1972 he was a member of the district council in the Duderstadt district and from 1981 to 1986 councilor of the city of Duderstadt, both in the CDU parliamentary group.
