Wilhelm Hamkens (District President)
Carl Wilhelm Hugo Hamkens (born February 24, 1883 in the manor house Hoyerswort on Eiderstedt ; † October 4, 1962 in Husum ) was a German lawyer and National Socialist politician.
Life
Wilhelm Hamkens came from an Eiderstedter landowner family and attended high school in Husum. After graduating from high school, he studied law from 1904 at the University of Freiburg im Breisgau , where he became a member of the Corps Rhenania Freiburg . He continued his studies in Berlin and Kiel and after the state examination completed his legal traineeship in the Prussian provinces of Posen, Silesia and Schleswig-Holstein. During the First World War , he was last honored several times as Captain of the Reserve. After the war, Hamkens ran a law firm in Hohenwestedt , joined the NSDAP on September 1, 1929 and soon afterwards became district leader , later Gaujägermeister, district administrator in the former district of Rendsburg and finally district president in Schleswig . His brother Otto Hamkens was district manager on Eiderstedt and district administrator there. In 1943 Wilhelm Hamkens was so circumcised by the President of Schleswig-Holstein Hinrich Lohse in his office because of personal differences between the two that Hamkens asked to leave as district president. After the war he was not granted the pension of a district president, but that of a Schleswig-Holstein district administrator.
For 20 years Hamkens was friends with the German doctor of Jewish origin Ernst Bamberger from Rendsburg, who committed suicide on December 6, 1941 because of the imminent deportation .
