Otto Beck (30 March 1846 – 19 May 1908) was a German politician, and former senior mayor for Mannheim from 1891 to 1908. Moreover, by having founded the Handelshochschule Mannheim together with Heinrich Gothein in 1907, he is regarded as one of the founding fathers of the University of Mannheim.[1][2][3]

Beck was born in Krautheim, Baden-Württemberg, Germany. He studied law at the Heidelberg University until 1871, where he obtained his Staatsexamen (equivalent to Juris Doctor). Later in his life, Beck received an Honorary doctor from his alma mater.
