from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich Ludwig Wilhelm Paulmann (born November 9, 1865 in Celle ; † April 30, 1948 in Gifhorn ) was a German pharmacist and food chemist as well as a city councilor in Kassel and in 1933/1934 a functionary of the German Christians in Kurhessen and Waldeck.

Life

Wilhelm Paulmann studied at the University of Marburg , where he received his doctorate in 1894 with his dissertation Contributions to Knowledge of Sarcosine . From 1910 until his retirement in 1931 he worked as a civil servant food chemist in Kassel. Paulmann was a Freemason and a member of the Natural History Association in Cassel .

Between October and December 1923 a core group of the NSDAP formed in Kassel . This included Wilhelm Paulmann, Karl Schaumlöffel , Max Köhler, Fritz Lengemann , Rudolf Likus , Heinrich Messerschmidt and Heinrich Moog, the later Gauleiter Walter Schultz and Karl Weinrich and the later President of the People's Court, Roland Freisler . In 1924 he became a city ​​councilor in Kassel on a list of the Völkisch-Sozial bloc and served as an honorary city councilor until 1933.

In 1933 he was Gauobmann of the German Christians and a member of the National Synod of the German Evangelical Church (DEK) in Wittenberg , where Ludwig Müller was elected Bishop of the Reich . On June 26, 1933, Paulmann was appointed by the State Commissioner for Church Disputes August Jäger as "Plenipotentiary for the Evangelical Churches in Hessen-Kassel and von Waldeck and Pyrmont". As a member of the provisional church leadership in Hessen-Kassel, he changed the church constitutional provisions on the formation of church councils without resolutions by the state church assembly or the lawful church leadership. In 1934 he was urged to resign as district chairman and member of the provisional church leadership because he did not enforce party interests sharply enough.

family

The brother of his wife Helene Paulmann geb. Schoof was the Germanist and Grimm researcher Wilhelm Schoof . The lawyer and later SS judge Karl Werner Paulmann was his younger son.
