My name is Malte Engeler, I am a legal professional with many years of experience in the areas of data protection law, administrative law and legal procedures.
After serving as a judge at the administrative court of the German state of Schleswig-Holstein for several years I am now a digital policy advisor in the federal ministries of Germany. Before that I was working with the national and European data protection authorities for several years.
The focus of my interests is on public law and administrative law, with particular emphasis on German and European constitutional law as well as IT and data protection law. Due to the many years of dealing with insolvency and corporate law issues in the context of my doctorate thesis, I am also no stranger to economic issues. I am currently combining my expertise in research about the political economy of data.
I regularly publish in legal publications as well as online media and speak at conferences and symposia. A current overview of my publications and lectures can be found here. Sometimes I also self-publish shorter articles in the blog section here. Additionally I am involved with teaching trainees in the civil service as well as guest lecturing in academia.
I am an active member of the Neue Richtervereinigung e.V. (NRV), Germanys second largest association of member of the judiciary, where I focus on aspects of digital and society topics. Together with Aline Blankertz I co-founded Structural Integrity, a collective that gathers legal, political and economic expertise for radically needs-based digital policy and data regulation.
I also manage the tech blog DeathMetalMods.de and co-run the Mastodon instance Legal.Social.
