Hermann Ulrich Kantorowicz (18 November 1877 inPosen,German Empire – 12 February 1940 inCambridge) was a German jurist.
He was a professor atFreiburg University (1923-1929), and a visiting professor,Columbia University (1927), as well as atKiel University (1929-1933). He was dismissed from Kiel on political and antisemitic grounds in 1933, and became lecturer at the 'University in Exile' and at City College, New York, 1933–34.[1] Then he was lecturer at the London School of Economics, All Souls College Oxford and Cambridge University, 1934–37, and Assistant Director of Research in Law, Cambridge, 1937-1940.[2]
Kantorowicz caused heated debate when details of his report for theparliamentary investigative committee on thequestion of Germany's guilt in triggering World War I became known.[3][4] Contrary to the prevailing opinion in Germany, he concluded in 1923 that Germany's responsibility in the outbreak of the war was of great importance. Kantorowicz cited as an example the officialGerman White Book of 3 August 1914, finding that about 75 percent of the documents that it presented had been falsified to support denial of Germany's involvement in the outbreak of the First World War.[5]
When Kantorowicz was proposed for election as a full professor at the University of Kiel shortly thereafter in 1927, Foreign MinisterGustav Stresemann (DVP) raised his objections to this in a letter to the Minister of CultureCarl Heinrich Becker (SPD). Stresemann saw Germany as innocent of the origins of the First World War and, after advice from the former diplomat and politicianJohannes Kriege (DVP), wanted to prevent Kantorowicz's critical view of Germany's actions, which went as far as "masochism", from being reinforced by the award of a full professorship in Kiel.[6]
