Hinrich Wilhelm Kopf

Hinrich Wilhelm Kopf (6 May 1893[1] – 21 December 1961[2]) was a German politician (SPD).

[3] Kopf worked from 1939 to 1943 on behalf of the Nazi government as an asset manager in occupied Poland, initially with his own company together with the lawyer Edmund Bohne, later for the Haupttreuhandstelle Ost[4] and was "trustee of confiscated Polish and Jewish goods" and worked as an expropriation commissioner in the Lubliniec region.

[5] In 1948, Polish authorities requested his extradition for being involved in deportations, harassing and abusing Polish workers, and confiscating Jewish property, but Military Governor Robertson dismissed the allegations saying they were "insufficient".

[9][10] His grave is located in the Stöcken city cemetery in Hanover and was a so-called honorary grave of the city of Hanover until 2015, whose administration decorated it with flowers and cared for it.
