Dr. Max Richter (1856 - 1921) was Under-Secretary of State in the Reich Ministry of the Interior. In 1879, he received his doctorate in law in Königsberg, then worked at the Reichsamt des Innern from 1891 and was sent as Reichskommissar to the World Expositions in Chicago and Paris in 1892 and 1900. For many years, Dr. Richter advised the ministries on matters relating to potash. In 1912, he was awarded the Order of the Crown 1st Class for implementing the Reich law on the sale of potash salt, which was adopted in 1910, forcing potash mines to become members of the state-sanctioned Potash Syndicate. In 1917, he retired from public service and was appointed chairman of the supervisory board of the Potash Syndicate.
