Max Schramm (administrative lawyer)
Max Hermann Gustav Johann Schramm (born February 14, 1872 in Elmshorn ; † October 28, 1947 in Amelinghausen ) was a German administrative lawyer , most recently president of the Hanover regional church office of the Evangelical Lutheran regional church of Hanover .
Life
Born as the son of the pharmacy owner Wilhelm Schramm, Schramm attended grammar school in Hanover and, after graduating from high school, initially started an officer career. As a result of a riding accident, he retired from the army as unfit for service and began studying law at the University of Göttingen , which he later continued in Berlin . He performed his preparatory service at the Lüneburg District and Regional Court and at the Celle Higher Regional Court . After the assessor exam he entered the administrative service and became a government assessor in Opole . In 1911 he was appointed district administrator of the Wittmund district. The promotion of the settlement system was particularly important to him. He took care of the establishment of the meadow construction authority and the purchase of wasteland for colonization. Through negotiations he was able to prevent the cadastral office from being relocated to Wilhelmshaven, for which a new building was being built in Wittmund. The establishment of the children's home in Esens and the establishment of agricultural schools in Esens and Friedeburg also fall during his term of office . The foundation of the Kreissparkasse also goes back to his suggestion. In 1929 he was released from civil service at his own request. When he left, the Wittmund district set up a District Administrator Schramm Foundation in his honor for children in the district in need of relaxation.
On January 1, 1930, Schramm took office as President of the State Church Office in Hanover. As a staunch opponent of the German Christians , he resigned from office in 1933. Since 1935 he spent his retirement in Göttingen, but also often stayed in Amelinghausen, where his daughter was married, and died there in October 1947 of an illness.
