Walter von Hagens
Walter von Hagens (born December 30, 1873 in Berlin ; † February 8, 1958 there ) was a German judge who was temporarily in the service of the Foreign Office and the Free City of Danzig.
Life
As the son of Karl von Hagens , Walter von Hagens studied law at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Bonn . In 1893 he became a member of the Corps Hansea Bonn , where he proved himself as a senior . As an assessor , he made extensive trips to France and England. After graduating as Dr. iur. he was a district judge in Cologne and Kassel for several years . Not yet 40 years old, he became a judge at the Kassel Higher Regional Court in 1913 . As Rittmeister of the Reserve he went to the First World War with the Thuringian Uhlan Regiment No. 6 . As leader of the large baggage of the 21st Reserve Division , he was awarded both classes of the Iron Cross .
After returning to his post in Kassel for a short time after the war, he was given leave of absence from the Foreign Office in 1920 . Before an international arbitration tribunal formed after the Peace Treaty of Versailles , he was to represent German interests in Paris as a secret judicial council. He carried out this activity initially from Berlin and from 1924 from Paris. In 1928 he was transferred to the Chamber Court as President of the Senate . In 1932 the Free City of Danzig (then an independent state) elected him President of its Supreme Court. The NSDAP received an absolute majority in the elections for the 5th People's Day in May 1933; the independence of the judges was lost under Albert Forster and Arthur Greiser . Hagens resigned from office in 1936 and moved back to Berlin.
In the post-war period , Hagens was again a judge for a few years as chairman of a civil chamber , became the district court director for the first time and was also the representative of the district court president at that time. In 1952 he was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit for his services to the Berlin judiciary .
