Paul Goerz
Christian Paul Goerz (born January 7, 1896 in Berlin ; † November 20, 1952 ) was a German manager.
The son of the Kommerzienrat Carl Paul Goerz took part in the First World War immediately after passing his Abitur and then studied at the Technical University of Berlin , where he was awarded a Dr.-Ing. PhD. In 1921 he took over the management of the optical institute CP Goerz in Berlin-Friedenau , Rheinstrasse 45-46 (from 1926 part of Zeiss Ikon AG ) and later the "Goerzwerk" in Berlin-Zehlendorf , Goerzallee 299, which was built in 1918 .
In 1929 he became chairman of the board of the TV AG ( TV GmbH from October 1939 ), which was founded with the participation of the Stuttgart Robert Bosch AG (since 1937 a GmbH ), which had its seat in the Goerzwerk. From 1932 he was head of the (still unofficial) Bosch subsidiary Ideal-Werke AG in Berlin-Hohenschönhausen (from December 1938: Blaupunkt -Werke GmbH, Berlin-Wilmersdorf ). In June 1935 at the latest, he became chairman of Section 4 (broadcasting) of the electrical industry business group.
In 1935, the Reichspost reduced its support for the television company, as it had partly foreign owners. Paul Goerz was drafted into the Navy on August 26, 1939 , released in 1941 after a serious back injury on the heavy cruiser Blücher and resumed his old post as Blaupunkt managing director.
After the war ended, he was in Great Britain for interrogation from June 28 to July 20, 1945. One year after his return, Goerz had to resign from his position at Blaupunkt on July 23, 1946 because, as a former military manager, he was no longer allowed to hold a managerial position in industry or in a company with more than 20 employees.
