Wilhelm Bergholter

Wilhelm Bergholter (born March 22, 1897 in Güstrow , † November 22, 1982 in Memmingen ) was a German ministerial official in Schwerin and Berlin.

Life

Bergholter was the son of high school professor Dr. Wilhelm Bergholter in Güstrow. After attending the cathedral school in Güstrow , he studied law from 1917 at the University of Rostock , the University of Jena and the Ludwig Maximilians University of Munich . In Munich he joined the National Socialist German Workers' Party with his college friend Karl-Friedrich Kolbow as early as 1920 . Bergholter completed his legal clerkship in Güstrow from 1922 to 1925 and received his doctorate in Rostock in 1923. From 1926 he worked as a district attorney and assistant judge, from 1928 as a local court advisor in Güstrow and from 1932 as chairman of the local court and the labor court . In 1933 he was appointed personnel officer and senior government councilor in the Mecklenburg Ministry of Justice. He ensured the implementation of the desired dismissals in the judiciary. From December 1933 to September 1934 he was Ministerial Director of the Ministry for Education, Art, Spiritual and Medical Affairs in Mecklenburg-Schwerin , for which there was no longer a minister after Hans Egon Engell . From October 1934, like all ministries, it was only one of ten departments in the State Ministry that Bergholter continued to head. From the end of 1934 he was also the district commissioner for science, university and college issues for the Mecklenburg-Lübeck district administration . His colleague for school questions was Rudolf Krüger . From 1938, Bergholter was the permanent representative of State Minister Friedrich Scharf and thus, so to speak, Deputy Prime Minister. In October 1940 he was seconded to the Reich Ministry for Science, Education and National Education and, from 1943, he was also a special representative for the use of students as air force and naval helpers . Under Albert Holfelder (Office E) he headed Department III for secondary schools. He was responsible for the war effort of the students in companies or the students in the social service. He was SS-Hauptsturmführer (No. 0177-0214).
