The current Upper Landrat of Moravian-Ostrou, Karl von R u m o hr, was before his transfer to the Protectorate of Landrat in Iserlohn and at the same time head of the Office for Local Policy in Gau Westfalen-Süd. Technically, he was considered a good administrative lawyer during his work in the Old Kingdom; however, in character he showed weaknesses, the most important of which are his softness and his displeasure. It is said that most of the time he has an almost pathological addiction to make it right for everyone and to evade a decision on serious political issues. He never shows the necessary degree of safe and firm appearance. Soon after his start of activity in Moravian-Ostrava, von Rumohr had various differences with other German departments. Most of the time, he contributed to the fact that people who had found their way back to German very late on, and their value for Germanism was doubted. In addition, the Upper Land Council of Rumohr strives to attract as much as possible to itself, without prejudice to the fact that other German service bodies must regard its activities as interference.
