Hans Lohmeyer (23 June 1881 in Thorn – 28 February 1968 in Berlin) was a German jurist, Lord Mayor of Königsberg.
Life
By the time the war ended he had already become involved with the Evangelical Church in Königsberg. Following a period of ethnic cleansing Königsberg was no longer a German city, however. Within postwar Germany Lohmeyer settled in what had become the Soviet occupation zone and became a synod member of the Evangelical Church in Berlin, Brandenburg and Silesian Upper Lusatia. He also belonged to the so-called Prussian Union of churches. In 1951 he co-founded the "Association for Communal Studies" ("Verein für Kommunalwissenschaften"), becoming its chairman in 1963.
He is buried in Berlin.
