Otto Bornemann

Otto Bornemann (born September 9, 1891 in Arnsberg , Westphalia, † December 13, 1972 in Frankfurt ) was a German politician. He was a leading member of the Young German Order .

Life

After attending elementary school and grammar school Laurentianum (up to Obersekunda) in Arnsberg Bornemann entered the middle legal service in 1911. From August 1, 1914, he took part in the First World War, in which he was wounded several times and was promoted to company leader.

During the November Revolution Bornemann was a leading member of the Arnsberg Workers 'and Soldiers' Council and also played an important role in the council bodies at district level. At that time Bornemann was close to the MSPD . He was elected a member of the first Reichsrätekongress in Berlin.

In 1920 he took part in the rank of lieutenant in the Freikorps Lichtschlag in the fight against the Red Ruhr Army during the Ruhr uprising. In the mid-1920s Bornemann became a member of the Young German Order (Jungdo). This had a stronghold in Arnsberg in the Sauerland. Bornemann was the leader of the local group. From there he propagated the goals of the order in the neighboring communities. In 1921, for example, he held a “genuinely patriotic rally” in Oeventrop , where he distanced himself from the murder of Matthias Erzberger and rejected all reactionary intentions, but with the aim of “educating the members to be faithful to Germany and love to cherish and cultivate the common fatherland ”showed a certain distance to the republic. His work was so successful that the local branch in Arnsberg was already divided into two "followers" in 1922. He himself gave up the management of the Arnsberg organization and became head of the “Komtur” of the Sauerland district group.

In 1923 Bornemann led sabotage squads in the “ Ruhrkampf ”, which carried out attacks such as blowing up railway lines.

At the beginning of 1926, proceedings for high treason were initiated against Bornemann and the Jungdo Grand Master Artur Mahraun , but these were quickly discontinued as unfounded. Bornemann and Mahraun were accused of trying to prepare a coup in Germany with French help.

After he resigned from the civil service as Justice Secretary in 1929 at his own request, he took over the post of Chancellor of the Order (i.e. Reich Manager) of Jungdo.

From September 1930 to July 1932 Bornemann sat as a member of the Reichstag on the Reich election proposal of the People's National Reich Association .

Bornemann joined the NSDAP in 1933 and was block leader and managing director of the Reich Association of Plumbing and Plumbing.
