Fritz Wilhelm Maxin (17 July 1885 – 5 March 1960) was a German politician and lay preacher.
He married in 1913 and became engaged as a lay preacher of the gromadki-movement in the East Prussian Lutheran Prayer Community (Ostpreußischer Lutherischer Gebetsverein).
[1] After World War I he joined the German National People's Party (DNVP) and was elected as deputy of the Constituency 1 (East Prussia) to the Weimar German Reichstag.
[2] After the Nazis took over power in Germany in 1933, his citizens involvement was prohibited and Maxin joined the oppositional old-Prussian Confessing Church in 1934.
He became a member of the Brethren Council of Confessing Church and organized Lutheran youth camps and Church services on his farm, which caused permanent supervision by the Gestapo.
