Wikipedia, August 15, 2017 (Otto Lebrecht Eduard Daniel Meissner (13 March 1880, Bischwiller, Alsace - 27 May 1953, Munich) was head of the Office of the President of Germany during the entire period of the Weimar Republic under Friedrich Ebert and Paul von Hindenburg and, finally, at the beginning of the Nazi government under Adolf Hitler. Meissner studied law in Strasbourg from 1898 to 1903 and earned his Doctor of Laws in 1908 in Erlangen, Bavaria. In 1919 Meissner became Acting Advisor in the Bureau of the President and by 1920 rose to the position of Ministerial Director and Head of the Bureau of the President. In 1937, Meissner was appointed State Minister of the Rank of a Federal Minister and Chief of the Presidential Chancellery of the Führer and Chancellor. In 1950, Meissner published a memoir covering his unusual bureaucrat's career in a book entitled State Secretary under Ebert, Hindenburg and Hitler. The writer Hans-Otto Meissner (1909-1992) was his son.)
