Dr Dietrich Mende (1899-1990) was a German-British state official and publicist who had been appointed to Prussian state service in the late years of the Weimar Republic. In the mid-1930s he got involved in anti-Nazi activities in Berlin and emigrated to London. In exile he worked for the British Foreign Office. Upon his return to Germany in 1951, he founded the Institute for European Politics and Economics, and served as secretary at the German Society for Foreign Affairs.
