Paul ghosts

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl Herrmann Paul Geister (born March 12, 1874 in Weimar ; † April 25, 1950 in Lübeck ) was a German lawyer and senator for the Hanseatic city of Lübeck.

Life

Paul Geister studied in Munich (1893 member of the Corps Franconia Munich ) and Bonn (1893 member of the Corps Hansea Bonn ). He received his doctorate from the University of Greifswald in 1905 as Dr. jur. and in 1907 Dr. phil. In 1909 he became a councilor and senate secretary in Lübeck. In the 1920s he turned his back on civil service and became a lawyer in Lübeck. As such he became a member of the Lübeck citizenship and in 1926 was appointed part-time Senator of the Hanseatic City of Lübeck. In the discussion about the imperial reform , which was not only politically an issue in Lübeck during the Weimar Republic , his single-handedly pro-Prussian pamphlet from 1931 excited Lübeck's future: his position on the imperial reform, on Hamburg and Prussia in the run-up to the then of the National Socialists implemented the Greater Hamburg Law in Lübeck, causing a stir and disapproval from the rest of the Senate and the administration. The total resignation of the Senate , which he proposed on March 6, 1933 , only failed due to the vote of the Deputy Mayor Georg Kalkbrenner . Kalkbrenner was supposed to "voluntarily" resign from his position as a member of the Senate on May 12, 1933 and take early retirement. In the course of the National Socialist harmonization, Geister was relieved of his position as senator by the Reich Commissioner for the Hanseatic City of Lübeck Friedrich Völtzer on March 11, 1933 on the basis of the presidential decree for the protection of people and state of February 28, 1933.
