Rudolf Goetsch studied law at the Silesian Friedrich Wilhelms University . In 1896 he became active in the Corps Lusatia Breslau . He was a judge and (until 1935) Vice-President of the Supreme Court . Since May 1, 1932, he was a member of the National Socialist German Workers' Party ( membership number 1.146.312). In 1934 he was appointed the first President of the Press Court in Berlin. The appointment was confirmed in 1937 and 1940. He was President of the Rostock Higher Regional Court . As Reich Minister for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda , Joseph Goebbels extended Goetsch's tenure twice by one year. On July 1, 1943 Goetsch was given final retirement. He was killed with his wife in the battle for Berlin .

Goetsch's personal file cannot be found at the Rostock Regional Court, the Schwerin State Main Archive , the Secret State Archive of Prussian Cultural Heritage or the Federal Archive . Perhaps it was destroyed by the Reich Ministry of Justice in 1943 . Current research by the Rostock Higher Regional Court showed that no files can be found at the Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania Ministry of Justice either.
