Despite the fact that we have the same surname, I have no known relation to Theodor Lohmann reaching back at least five generations. My translation and posting of this article is based solely on my interest in social policy and my recent discovery of T. Lohmann in Gordon Craig's Germany, 1866-1945, and my belief that he is a figure of comparable importance (but a different career trajectory!) to social security administrators like Wilbur Cohen and Arthur Altmeier in the U.S. system. English language sources I will add in the near future share this assessment. Despite the fact that he is apparently fairly well known in Germany and at least slightly known to American historians like Craig, he is a complete unknown to social policy specialists in the U.S.
A close comparison of my translation with the German wikipedia entry would be advisable, since my German is quite shaky.
