Fritz ter Meer

Fritz ter Meer was a prominent German businessman who served as the chairman of Bayer after World War II. He was involved with IG Farben, a chemical conglomerate that played a significant role in Nazi Germany, including the construction of the Auschwitz concentration camp. His actions during the war led to his conviction at the Nuremberg Trials, highlighting the deep entanglement of industry with the Nazi regime. Recently, German companies, including Bayer, acknowledged their historical responsibilities related to the rise of the Nazi party, reflecting on the moral implications of their past actions.
