Prof. Dr. Otto Krammer

Otto Krammer is born as the son of the later Viennese Minister of State Josef Otto Krammer, official of the K.K. Court of Auditors. After completing the training school of the Teacher Education Institute in the Sophienbrückengasse (nunmore Kundmanngasse), he moved to the Landstraßer Gymnasium in 1913, where he is engaged in the German Student Federation (CDSB) after the First World War from the beginning of 1919. In the autumn of 1919, this group is the idea of establishing a Catholic middle school compound, which is then on the 26th. November d. J. is implemented with the help of the Viennese student association Franco-Bavaria and receives the name Frankonia.

Otto Krammer still attends the banking and trading course in the Gymnasium and begins his studies at the Faculty of Law and State Sciences of the University of Vienna (abs. iur. 1925; Dr. iur. 1926). From mid-November 1925 to the end of June 1926, he completed his legal practice and joined the post and telegraph director of Vienna in 1927. In 1933, he is convened in the Federal Ministry of Trade and Transport responsible for the post and is assigned to the Federal Chancellery in 1934. There he works with the Federal Commissioner for Human Resources (Personal Affairs) under section head Arbogast Josef Fleisch, who has to worry, among other things, that this is not undermined by Nazis.

As part of the follow-up of 11 March 1938, Otto Krammer manages to secure important documents (personnel cards) from his office in the Federal Chancellor's Office and to dispose of these on the road through a channel lid into the waste water. He was released immediately after the connection and then retired at the end of January 1939. In 1940, this retroactive reduction is reduced to 75 percent. From 1939 he is active in the private sector and is moved to the German Wehrmacht in 1941.

After the war, Krammer is rehabilitated and works again in the Directorate-General for Post and Telegraph Administration in the Ministry of Transport. There, he will continue to be the Head of Section and will be awarded the title of the professor.
