Wolfgang Stammberger (14 July 1920[1] – 1 May 1982[2]) was a German jurist and politician. He served as German Minister of Justice from 1961 to 1962. He resigned because of the Spiegel affair,[3] as he had not known the plan to arrest Rudolf Augstein and the others.[4]
Born in Coburg, Bavaria, Stammberger saw his studies interrupted by World War II, but eventually earned his doctorate from the University of Erlangen.[5][6] He became a member of the German Bundestag in 1953, and retained his seat until 1969.[7] In 1964, he switched from the Free Democratic Party to the Social Democratic Party. Between 1970 and 1978, he served as mayor of Coburg.
He was active in two Freemasonry lodges.[8]
His niece, Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger, later also served as Minister of Justice.
