description: "Julius Christian Mergenthaler was a German Nazi Party politician who served as the Ministerpräsident and culture minister of Württemberg for nearly the entire duration of Nazi Germany. He served as a deputy in the Württemberg Landtag for nine years, and in the Reichstag for one term. He was also a member of the Nazi paramilitary organization, the Sturmabteilung (SA), and rose to the rank of SA-Obergruppenführer. After the end of the Second World War, denazification proceedings judged him to be a major offender and he was interned for four years."
