Heinrich Haslinde

Heinrich Haslinde was a German politician of the Zentrumspartei who lived from 21 May 1881 (Berlin) to 26 November 1958 (Marquartstein). He served as the governor (Landrat) of the district of Arnsberg, district president of the Münster region before becoming Reich Minister of Food and Agriculture under Luther (II) and Marx (III) from 20 January 1926 to 17 December 1926.

After he was forcibly retired by the National Socialists, he volunteered for war service but returned after being dismissed for severe illness in '43. By the US occupation and the first post-war Chancellor Adenauer multiple high ranking offices were offered to him, that he all rejected over health concerns.
