Gerhard P.Th. Geyer was a German businessman and Director General of the German subsidiary of the oil company Esso in 1957[1].
He was one of the founders of the deep state network Atlantik-Brücke in 1954.[2]
Early Life
His father was rector of the humanistic St. Anna-Gymnasium in Augsburg. After attending high school, briefly participating in World War I and being a prisoner of war for four years, Geyer began his commercial career in 1920 at the Brown, Boveri & Cie. Machine factory, and later headed the Agricola Society for Agriculture, Trade and Industry in Vrsac in Yugoslavia.
In 1926 he joined the German-American Petroleum Company (Esso) as a representative for the Heilbronn district. With the development of the transport industry and the increasing demand for fuel, the company became the leading oil company. Geyer received more and more influential positions. As early as 1939 he was appointed to the company's board of directors.
Being a bit unclear what he did during the war, in this position, Geyer played a key role in the rebuilding of the company that was after the war was known as Esso AG. In 1948 Geyer became chairman of the company's board of directors. Under his leadership, the refineries and the sales organization were rebuilt.
He was a member of the German Atomic Energy Commission from the mid-1950s.
