The Hintze family was part of the hardworking German middle class of the Prussian country towns. Schwedt only had ten thousand inhabitants but because the city is located on the Oder River it benefited from trade. Paul's father owned a tobacco plant, making cigars of the raw tobacco he imported. He also had a seat in the City Council. The Hintze family was one of the best regarded and wealthiest in town. Paul attended the humanistic Gymnasium (high school) and graduated with a baccalaureate in 1882. Rather than serving the mandatory year in the military, he joined the navy as an eighteen-year-old. Paul struck his superiors as very smart and very tough. After basic training on the school ship <i>Prinz Adalbert</i>, Hintze sailed the seven seas for the next twelve years, in which he saw the coasts of Africa, the Middle East, North and South America. In 1894 the navy lieutenant (Kapitänleutnant) studied at the <a href="/wiki/Naval_Academy_at_M%C3%BCrwik" class="mw-redirect" title="Naval Academy at Mürwik">Naval Academy at Mürwik</a>, a school for which very few officers had the honor of admission. </p><p>Among the many that trained and studied at the Naval Academy in Kiel there were several graduates worth mentioning for this story: Grand Admiral <a href="/wiki/Alfred_von_Tirpitz" title="Alfred von Tirpitz">Alfred von Tirpitz</a> (then Captain Tirpitz) graduated in 1865, von Hintze (then without noble title) in 1896. <a href="/wiki/Karl_Boy-Ed" title="Karl Boy-Ed">Karl Boy-Ed</a>, eight years von Hintze's junior, joined the class of 1894. After serving in active duty in the Far East, Boy-Ed became German Naval Attaché in Washington in 1912 and worked for then Ambassador von Hintze in his partial responsibility for Mexico. <a href="/wiki/Franz_von_Rintelen" title="Franz von Rintelen">Franz von Rintelen</a> (although he never had a noble title), the son of a well-known Berlin banker, graduated in 1905. Rintelen was to become a notorious German sabotage agent in the United States in World War I. All three worked for Grand Admiral von Tirpitz who became the loudest voice clamoring for unrestricted submarine warfare in the Great War. After Paul Hintze completed his studies at the Naval Academy in 1896, he joined the Naval Command in Berlin. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Military_service">Military service</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Paul_von_Hintze&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Military service"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1898, Rear Admiral Tirpitz commissioned navy captain Hintze to join the East Asian battle group as a "Flaggleutnant," the liaison officer to the <a href="/wiki/German_Imperial_Naval_High_Command" title="German Imperial Naval High Command">German Imperial Naval High Command</a>. In this capacity Hintze faced an outraged Admiral <a href="/wiki/George_Dewey" title="George Dewey">George Dewey</a> when the German navy obstructed Dewey's efforts to subdue the Spanish in the Philippines in the <a href="/wiki/Spanish%E2%80%93American_War" title="Spanish–American War">Spanish–American War</a>. German ships had operated so close to the U.S. navy that Dewey had to employ searchlights, which gave away the American positions to the Spanish. Dewey also had declared a blockade and accordingly expected any naval vessel to allow search parties to board. The German navy rejected this as an infringement of international law. Hintze never commented on his confrontation with Dewey, which must have been so heated that news stories about it could be found twenty years later. According to newspapers, Dewey told the German naval officer "if he [German Admiral <a href="/wiki/Otto_von_Diederichs" title="Otto von Diederichs">Otto von Diederichs</a>] wants a fight he can have it now."<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Cooler heads prevailed. Rather than shooting out their differences, the German fleet found a way to compromise with the Americans and eventually left the Philippine theater. Ambassador <a href="/wiki/Johann_Heinrich_von_Bernstorff" title="Johann Heinrich von Bernstorff">Johann Heinrich von Bernstorff</a> commented on the affair in his 1920 memoirs that the underlying cause of the aggression was that Germany tried to "acquire" the Philippine islands after the U.S. had declared it did not want to hold on to them in the long term. "[A] misunderstanding had occurred, as a result of which the Berlin Foreign Office had acted in perfect good faith. In the public mind in the United States, however, the feeling still rankled that Germany had wished to make a demonstration against their Government."<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Diplomatic_Assignment_to_St._Petersburg">Diplomatic Assignment to St. Petersburg</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Paul_von_Hintze&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Diplomatic Assignment to St. Petersburg"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>In 1903, the navy dispatched their thirty-nine-year-old and experienced naval captain Hintze to the German embassy in <a href="/wiki/Saint_Petersburg" title="Saint Petersburg">Saint Petersburg</a>. "His social suaveness...his empathy for the idiosyncrasies of other people made him quickly establish friendly relationships."<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> He had been a popular commander at sea. As the new naval attaché to St. Petersburg Hintze occupied a critical position in the embassy. Emperor Wilhelm II became extraordinarily interested in reports from Tirpitz's protégé. Hintze's assessment of Russian politics and the quality of his intelligence soon caused the Kaiser to use Hintze for most sensitive missions between the German government and the Russian Czar. Never trusting the Foreign Office, the Emperor preferred communication with his cousin "Nikki" to go through naval attaché Hintze. In 1905, Hintze joined the two emperors in a summit meeting in the Swedish city of Bjoerko. A year later, Hintze received the title "Flügeladjutant." The promotion, in a roundabout way, made him the direct representative of the German Emperor in Russia, a position that in many ways was more powerful than that of the ambassador. Hintze's close relationship with the two emperors and the circumvention of the Foreign Office by the Kaiser made him a long-term target of career diplomats in the Reich. In 1908, Wilhelm II made Hintze into a nobleman with the title of Baron that could be inherited. As such, the middle-class tobacco merchants of Schwedt became nobility. Von Hintze also received the promotion to rear admiral that year. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Ambassador_in_Mexico">Ambassador in Mexico</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Paul_von_Hintze&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Ambassador in Mexico"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>As the German ambassador to Mexico, Karl Buenz, left his post as the result of an illness, Emperor <a href="/wiki/Wilhelm_II" title="Wilhelm II">Wilhelm II</a> was on the outlook for a fitting successor. The situation in Mexico had become critical as the result of the <a href="/wiki/Mexican_Revolution" title="Mexican Revolution">Mexican Revolution</a> that had broken out in 1910. The choice fell on von Hintze, especially because of his military background. The new ambassador was dispatched not only to represent Germany to the new revolutionary government of <a href="/wiki/Francisco_Le%C3%B3n_de_la_Barra" title="Francisco León de la Barra">Francisco León de la Barra</a>, but also to provide important intelligence about the revolution.

Through his agent Felix Sommerfeld, who became Madero's secret service chief, the German ambassador kept up with political developments in the capital and the fight against uprisings along the Mexican–American border, most notably the revolt of <a href="/wiki/Bernardo_Reyes" title="Bernardo Reyes">Bernardo Reyes</a> in the fall of 1911 and the uprising of <a href="/wiki/Pascual_Orozco" title="Pascual Orozco">Pascual Orozco</a> in the spring of 1912. </p><p>In February 1913, however, the political unrest reached the capital of Mexico.

Rather than waiting for the military to make its move, the ambassador proposed for Madero to install Huerta as a successor, while he and his administration would retreat to safety. He pitched the idea first to Foreign Minister <a href="/wiki/Pedro_Lascur%C3%A1in" title="Pedro Lascuráin">Pedro Lascuráin</a>. Madero initially agreed but then relented. The coup happened and Madero was arrested.

Von Hintze's role in the causes of the intervention is under dispute. The facts are that the German HAPAG ship SS Ypiranga (<a href="/wiki/Ypiranga_incident" title="Ypiranga incident">Ypiranga incident</a>) had large amounts of arms and ammunition on board destined for the Huerta regime. American forces sought to prevent these weapons to land and occupied the harbor of Veracruz as a result.

After his China assignment von Hintze served in Norway between 1917 and 1918.

During his time in the foreign ministry, Hintze pushed the Kaiser towards liberalization of the government and was involved in the discussions which led to the decision to seek an armistice at the end of September.
