Robert Perlen (born October 7, 1884 in Esslingen am Neckar , † May 13, 1961 in Stuttgart ) was a German lawyer.

Life

Robert Perlen was a son of Emil Perlen and his wife Henriette, geb. Singer. He passed the major state examination in law with the grade “excellent” and was admitted to the Stuttgart bar in 1912. Although of Jewish origin, Perlen was practiced in Stuttgart until the outbreak of World War II . Robert Perlen married Martha Gerke in 1926. The family's grave is in the Israelite part of the Ebershalden cemetery in Esslingen . From 1944 to 1945 he was hidden with his wife in Winnenden at Schorndorfer Straße 56. After that he lived in Winnenden until 1949 before moving to Stuttgart.

After the war he became a judge.

In 1948 Perlen, at that time already president of the regional court, was elected as the Jewish chairman of the Society for Christian-Jewish Cooperation in Stuttgart . In 1957 the entire board of the company was replaced by election.

Perlen is portrayed together with Reinhold Maier and Josef Beyerle as judges at the high-rise of the Higher Regional Court, which was built in the 1950s on the corner of Urbanstrasse and Archivstrasse. The relief, which the sculptor Hermann Kress created based on a design by Professor Hermann Brachert , is located next to the former main entrance, which has meanwhile been walled up. In 1953 Richard Schmid was Perlen's successor as President of the Higher Regional Court. In 1954, Perlen became at least a temporary successor to Otto Küster , who had to return his post as State Commissioner for Reparation after a private letter had become known in which he had expressed himself critical of representatives of the state government.
