Carl Bergmann (Secretary of State)

Carl Bergmann (20 April 1874 in Sömmerda; died 26 September 1935 in Berlin) was a German banker and diplomat.

After studying law, which he finished with the doctorate, he became in 1900 Gerichtsassessor in Berlin before he changed the following year to the Deutsche Bank.

In July 1919 he was next to Stephan Moesle undersecretary in the Finance Ministry and also chairman of the war load commission.

He held until September 1921 these offices and was thus one of the closest collaborators of the Ministers of Finance Matthias Erzberger and Joseph Wirth.

He was one of the most excellent representatives of that man shock, which remains not sit on his gilded armchairs, but is linked friendly relations with the opposing camp, regardless of formalities.The American historian Alfred C. Mierzejewski describes in his history of the Reichsbahn[5] the continued efforts by Carl Bergman (as a longtime member of the management and the supervisory board of the Railway), not to let fall the Reichsbahn in the hands of the Nazis. ]
