MR Dr. Rudolf Grohs

After graduating from high school, Rudolf Grohs studied law at the University of Vienna and, upon completing his studies, entered the service of the Postal and Telegraph Administration. When, in 1933, the then-Director General Dr. Artur Aigner—who had been earmarked as a potential minister following a Nazi coup—was found on the list of illegal National Socialists, this led to major purges and personnel changes within the administration.

Consequently, Minister of Commerce Fritz Stockinger (1894–1968) appointed Section Councilor Rudolf Grohs as president of the Linz Postal and Telegraph Directorate.

After the Anschluss, Rudolf Grohs was arrested and transferred to the Dachau concentration camp on May 17, 1938. From there, he was transferred to the Flossenbürg concentration camp on September 27, 1939, where he was released on March 2, 1940. From 1942 until the end of the war, he worked as an accountant.

After the war, he was reinstated as a civil servant and was ultimately appointed Ministerialrat and named to the executive board of the Operations Department within the General Directorate for Postal and Telegraph Administration. He is buried in the cemetery in Perchtoldsdorf, Lower Austria.
