"Geheimrat Dr. Kastl", Munich?

ianbli · #1

address known: "München 23, Leopoldstr[aße] 18"
activities known: in October & November 1939
titles known: Geheimrat, Dr.

this name came across me in the course of some biographical research i have been doing. this dr. kastl apparently worked for the office of goering and/or for gauleiter rainer (reichsgau salzburg). he acted as (national socialist?) agent/representative for people that had (minor) disputes with the reich and he contributed to 'settling' these disputes, acting as 'authorised' representative.

i found some information about a certain geheimrat dr. ludwig kastl (1878-1969). as he was governor of german south-west africa, i am rather sceptical whether he is the one i am looking for.

does anyone know about this dr. kastl in munich? are there hints indicating that he is actually ludwig kastl?

thank you for your help and cooperation.

As usual I have to recommend the google-function and you will find a lot:

thanks for moving the thread, i wasn't aware it would fit better here.

also thanks for the links you provided. of course, i have searched the web for info prior to posting my question here and i have also found all the sites you listed. the thing is, i have NO evidence so far that:

a) the person in question is this LUDWIG kastl (it could be any other "Geheimrat Dr. Kastl", working for an office affiliated to some ns-autority or agency).

b) ludwig kastl was - through his works - in some way related to goering and/or rainer.

still, any help, questions or criticism higly welcome. thank you.

having gone through further source material, i can say that "ludwig" becomes ever more likely, he is once mentioned as "L. Kastl" - once als "E. Kastl" though (anyone any idea who THIS could be?) - and once as "Geh[eim]r[at] Kastl". thanks for your hints in this direction.
