Extent:
6 cubic ft.
Scope and content:

Maria (Mira) Lingemann (b. January 20, 1894; d. May 23, 1964) was the older sister of Paul Leser. Her husband, Heinrich Lingemann (b. September 23, 1880; d. June 29, 1962), was a lawyer by profession until he was forced by the Nazis to retire in 1938. In the years immediately following the end of World War II, Lingemann was recalled to public service in Germany and served as Oberlandesgerichtspräsident of the province of Nordrhein, Germany, helping to reshape the judicial system of postwar Germany. The materials in this series have been divided into two sections, the first being the papers of Maria Lingemann. These consist of documents, some early writings, diaries and notebooks, and correspondence. The largest amount of correspondence is between Maria Lingemann and Paul Leser and dates from 1913 until her death in 1964. The Heinrich Lingemann materials consist of a small number of documents, typescripts, correspondence pertaining to Lingemann's activities in post-war Germany, and several case files, the most notable being that of Otto Bräutigam. In addition to Bräutigam, other notable correspondents represented in the Heinrich Lingemann papers include Konrad Adenauer, Heinrich Brüning and Emil Niethammer.
