Edgar Tatarin-Tarnheyden
Edgar Tatarin-Tarnheyden (* 23 January 1882 in Riga; † 30 December 1966 in Vaihingen an der Enz) was a German jurist.
Until 1915 he worked as a lawyer in Riga. In 1922 he habilitated in Marburg.[1] Probably in the same year he became a professor at the University of Rostock.[2] Since 1911 he was married to the Baltic German writer Jane von Klot.
Distancing himself from his New Kantian philosophical starting point, Tatarin-Tarnheyden was already increasingly anti-republican and anti-positivist during the Weimar period.[1] From 1933 he was, along with Carl Schmitt, one of the leading players in the Nazi discussion of the Nazi regime’s self-designation as a constitutional state. In 1941, after years of trying, he became a member of the NSDAP.[3][4]
In 1945, Tatarin-Tarnheyden fell into Soviet captivity and was sentenced to ten years of forced labor, which he spent in the Untermaßfeld prison, among other places; in 1954, he arrived in the Federal Republic.[1] Thus Tatarin-Tarnheyden – apart from Carl Schmitt’s and Otto Koellreutter’s brief imprisonments – was probably the only German constitutional law teacher who supported National Socialism to receive non-academic sanction for his National Socialist commitment.
His writings Werdendes Staatsrecht (Heymann, Berlin 1934) and Der Einfluß des Judentums in Staatsrecht und Staatslehre (Deutscher Rechts-Verlag, Berlin 1938) were placed on the list of literature to be eliminated in the Soviet Occupation Zone.[5]

This suggests that Tatarin-Tarnheyden was the supervisor of the dissertation and that the supervisory relationship for the dissertation completed in 1923 began in 1922 – and in Rostock.
