During the period of National Socialism, the Academy of German Law was founded in 1933 on the initiative of Hans Frank. It was the scientific institution under the supervision of the Reich Justice and Reich Ministry of the Interior. Friedrich Minoux (21 March 1877 - 16 October 1945) was a German industrialist, financier, member of the Academy of German Law and who is best known for being one of the owners of the Wannsee House, where the namesake conference that would decide the fate of millions was held in early 1942.
