Reinhard Dullien

Reinhard Dullien (born February 14, 1902 in Heydekrug , East Prussia , today Lithuania , † August 5, 1982 in Wiesbaden ) was a German lawyer and President of the Federal Criminal Police Office .

Life

Reinhard Dullien was the son of a district judge. Herbert Dullien , economist, National Socialist functionary and industrialist (1903 – after 1973) was his younger brother.

In 1933 he became a member of the NSDAP . After completing his law studies, he joined the administration of East Prussia and made it up to government director . In 1941 he was head of the economy department at the General Commissariat Volhynia - Podolia in the Ukraine occupied by German troops . The economics department was responsible for the economic pillage of the occupied territory. According to his own statements, he only spent a short time there in this role.

From 1949 he was initially responsible for housing maintenance in the Federal Ministry of the Interior , later as a ministerial advisor for administrative law and administrative organization.

In September 1955 he succeeded Hanns Jess as the third President of the Federal Criminal Police Office ( BKA ). He was considered an excellent organizer, but had no experience in police work , which is why his nomination was heavily criticized, especially by Paul Dickopf , who saw himself as the "father of the Federal Criminal Police Office".

On January 1, 1965, the then Minister of the Interior, Hermann Höcherl, changed the official status of the BKA president to that of a law enforcement officer by means of an ordinance. Dullien had exceeded the associated special age limit of 60 years, which is why he was retired at the end of 1964. His successor was Dickopf, who with Höcherl's support initially kept the action against the weekly newspaper Der Spiegel a secret and belatedly informed Dullien as President of the BKA. Dullien sued his dismissal and sought damages.

Reinhard Dullien died on August 5, 1982.
