Life

He was the son of the Hamburg businessman Rudolf Bemmann († 1883) and his wife Elise, nee Nacke († 1916). After attending grammar school, Rudolf Bemmann studied at the University of Tübingen and then moved to the universities of Heidelberg , Munich and Leipzig , where he studied history, philosophy, economics and art history. In 1906 he received his doctorate in Leipzig for Dr. phil. The topic of his dissertation was on the history of the German Reichstag in the XV. Century .

In 1907 he got a job as the city archivist in the Prussian city of Mühlhausen , where he quickly familiarized himself with the history of the former imperial city. When the head of the Mühlhausen City Library, Reinhard Jordan (1847–1916), retired, Rudolf Bemmann simultaneously took over the management of the city library in addition to the city archive. In 1915 he published in the series of publications New Year's Papers of the Province of Saxony 1915 the text Die Stadt Mühlhausen in Thür. In the later Middle Ages . By this time, however, he had already left Mühlhausen, since in 1911 he had taken on the position of a scientific assistant at the Royal Library in Dresden . In the year the First World War broke out, Rudolf Bemmann was appointed library assistant. As such, he took on the task of editing and continuing the work on the organization of the "Bibliography for Saxon History", which Viktor Hantzsch had begun in 1900 . The first half volume of Part 1 of this Reite was published by Teubner in Leipzig and Berlin in 1918 and, in addition to a general introduction, contained chapters on historical regional studies and general political and princely history.

On June 1, 1918, Rudolf Bemmann moved from the Royal Library to the State Library in Dresden, from which the State Parliament Library emerged in the Free State of Saxony . The Saxon Bibliography was continued by the Saxon State Library after his successor Jakob Jatzwauk left the company . On a part-time basis, he supported this extensive publication project that he had started and took over the editing of the second part of the third volume, Ortsgeschichte , published in 1932, himself again.

On February 1, 1934, he followed the call to head of department in the staff office of the Reichsbauernführer Walther Darré in Berlin . He moved to Berlin-Wannsee in the house Waldemarstraße 2. During this period, he published essays include the space policy and public policy or The German colonization of the East . His work Russland Seift nach der Ostsee , published in 1939 by Hermann Haas in Goslar in Blut und Boden Verlag, is also significant. The Russian lust for domination in the Baltic Sea region since Peter the Great .

After the outbreak of World War II, he returned to Dresden in 1941, where he took over the position of deputy director of the Saxon State Library.

In 1946, in the Soviet occupation zone, his 1939 work Russia reaches for the Baltic Sea was placed on the list of literature to be sorted out.
