Life

He was the son of the landowner Robert Beninde and his wife Ottilie née Schmidt. After attending the humanistic grammar school in Breslau , he studied at the university there. He later moved to Kiel. He received his doctorate as Dr. med. and later carried the title of professor. Then Max Beninde worked as an assistant at the Hygiene Institute at the University of Breslau . He then took over the position of district assistant doctor in Carolath in the Liegnitz district. He then moved to Liebenwerda in the Prussian province of Saxony , where he took over the position of district doctor. Since he wanted to return to Silesia, he applied to the government in Breslau for an unskilled job and was accepted. Later he went to Frankfurt (Oder) , which was associated with his appointment to the government and secret medical council. He continued his career in Berlin, where he was appointed by the lecturing council in the Prussian Ministry of the Interior and as Ministerialrat in the Ministry of People's Welfare. In 1917 he became head of the Royal Prussian State Office for Water Hygiene, which in 1923 was renamed the Prussian State Office for Water, Soil and Air Hygiene after expanding its responsibilities. In 1921 Karl Thumm took over the management of the institute and Max Beninde became president. After the " seizure of power " by the National Socialists, he was to be transferred back to the Ministry of the Interior as a consultant in 1934. At his own request, he did not accept the transfer and was then sent into civil service retirement at the end of June 1934 at the age of 60.
