'Hans Josef Maria Globke' (10 September 1898–13 February 1973) was a jurist and high ranking public servant after World War II in the newly formed Federal Republic of Germany.
Hans Globke was born in Düsseldorf to Josef Globke and Sophie Erberich, both devout Roman Catholics and Zentrum-supporters. Shortly after Globke's birth the family moved to Aachen, where his father opened a draper's shop. When he finished his highschool studies at the Catholic Kaiser-Karl-Gymnasium in 1916, he was drafted into the army until 1918, when he subsequently

During his studies -- having joined while being enlisted in the army -- he was a member of Katholische Deutsche Studentenverbindung Bavaria Bonn, which was the local chapter of the Cartellverband der katholischen deutschen Studentenverbindungen. The close contacts with fellow KdStV-members together with his membership since 1922 in the Zentrum-Party played a significant role in his later (political) life. This was also true for Augusta Vaillant, who was a sister of one of Globke's ''Bundesbruders'' and whom he married in 1934.
Having finished his ''Assessorexamen'' in 1924, he was briefly active as a judge in the police court of Aachen, after which he climbed to vice police-chief of Aachen in 1925 and ''Regierungsassessor'' in 1926. In December 1929 Globke became administrative councillor to the Prussian Ministry of the Interior.
He helped to formulate the emergency legislation that gave Hitler unlimited dictatorial powers. He was also the author of the law concerning the dissolution of the Prussian State Council in 10 July 1933 and of further legislation which 'co-ordinated' all Prussian parliamentary bodies.[1]
He also wrote a law commentary on the new Reich Citizenship Law (The Nuremberg Laws-introduced at Hitler's request at the Nazi Party Congress in Sept.1935, it revoked the citizenship of German Jews). [2]
His membership application for the Nazi Party was rejected on 24 October 1940 by Martin Bormann due to his close alliance with the Zentrum-Party which had been representing Roman Catholic voters in Weimar Germany.[3] He thus escaped de-Nazification and the War Crime Trials.
He was Director of the Federal Chancellory of West Germany between 1953 and 1963 and as such was one of the closest aides to Federal Chancellor Konrad Adenauer.
Globke's key position as a national security advisor to Adenauer and his involvement in anticommunist activities in post-war West Germany made both the West German government and CIA officials wary of exposing his Nazi past. This led for instance to the withholding of Adolf Eichmann's alias from the Israeli government and Nazi hunters in the late '50s, and CIA pressure in 1960 on Life magazine to delete references to Globke from its recently obtained Eichmann memoirs.[4]

Pre-war public service
Having finished his ''Assessorexamen'' in 1924, he was briefly active as a judge in the police court of Aachen, after which he climbed to vice police-chief of Aachen in 1925 and ''Regierungsassessor'' in 1926. In December 1929 Globke became administrative councillor to the Prussian Ministry of the Interior.
Role in Nazi Germany
He helped to formulate the emergency legislation that gave Hitler unlimited dictatorial powers. He was also the author of the law concerning the dissolution of the Prussian State Council in 10 July 1933 and of further legislation which 'co-ordinated' all Prussian parliamentary bodies.[1]
