Otto Schultze-Rhonhof (born October 9, 1897 in Berlin , † December 4, 1974 in Münster ) was a German administrative lawyer in Westphalia .

Life

Schultze-Rhonhof studied at the Westphalian Wilhelms University and had been a member of the Corps Rheno-Guestphalia since 1919 . In 1921 he headed the Kösener Congress . In 1933 he joined the NSDAP at the request of Westphalia's governor Karl-Friedrich Kolbow . He made his career as an administrative lawyer at the Provincial Association of the Province of Westphalia . In 1938 he became managing director at Bispinghof (Münster) , the seat of the State Insurance Institution of Westphalia . The more recent research emphasizes in this context that Schultze-Rhonhof was "not a typical National Socialist, but rather a man of balance between conservative state councilors at the state insurance company and the strictly National Socialist head office"; However, it was only through his correct and consistent administrative action that he made the success of the conformity policy possible. After the Second World War he became the first director of the State Insurance Institution of Westphalia.

1939–1945 and 1955–1963 he was chairman of the board of the Westphalian Association for Lupus Control . In 1957 (one year before Albert Schweitzer ), the Medical Faculty of the Westphalian Wilhelms University awarded him the Dr. med. hc His corps elected him an honorary member.
