Walter Jung (19 December 1891 – 26 April 1963) was a German Nazi Party politician. He served as Gauleiter of the Gau Kurhessen from 1933 to 1945.
Jung joined the Nazi Party in 1926 and quickly rose through the ranks. In 1928, he became Gau Secretary, and in 1929, Gau Treasurer of Gau Hesse-Nassau. After the Nazi seizure of power in 1933, Jung was appointed Gauleiter of Kurhessen, a position he held until the end of World War II. During his tenure, he was also appointed Prussian State Councillor and a member of the Reichstag.
As Gauleiter, Jung was responsible for implementing Nazi policies in Kurhessen, including the persecution of Jews, political opponents, and other groups deemed undesirable by the Nazi regime. He played a key role in the organization of pogroms and deportations.
After the war, Jung was arrested and interned. In 1949, he was sentenced to five years in prison for his activities during the Nazi era. He was released in 1951 and lived in obscurity until his death in 1963.
