Life and activity
Lax was a son of Heinrich Lax and his wife Klara, geb. Dellemann. After attending elementary school and the secondary agricultural school in Kleve, he attended high school in the same city from Easter 1924 to February 1932, which he left with the Abitur.
From 1932 to 1933 Lax worked for the company XOX-Biskuit-Fabrik GmbH in Kleve. He then studied economics at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe University in Frankfurt am Main from Easter 1933 to summer 1936 . He spent the summer semester of 1934 at the commercial college in Königsberg. He finished his studies in June 1936 with the passing of the commercial teacher examination.
After the National Socialists came to power in the spring of 1933, Lax joined the Schutzstaffel (SS) on April 28, 1933 (SS.-No. 106.362). He applied for admission to the NSDAP on July 6, 1937. Admission was backdated to May 1, 1937 under membership number 4,371,436.
From summer 1936 to October 1937, Lax was responsible for teaching at the private commercial school in Schlüchtern near Kassel. In 1938 he earned his doctorate in economics and social sciences at the Frankfurt University with a thesis on leadership for young talent, vocational training and talent management (the day of the oral examination October 15, 1938).
In the following years Lax worked in the management of the industrial department of the Hessen Chamber of Commerce in Darmstadt . During the Second World War, Lax was employed in 1941 as a member of the Waffen-SS at the office of the Welfare Officer of the Waffen-SS for the occupied Dutch territories, where he dealt with family maintenance matters. After he was dismissed from the Waffen-SS (Main Welfare and Supply Office) on November 30, 1941, he was in the war administration service, most recently as a war administrator.
In the post-war period, Lax was a co-founder and partner in a business office in Bendorf-Sayn. In the 1950s he founded two private commercial schools: 1950 in Montabaur and 1953 in Bingen am Rhein .
In 1963 Lax entered the state school service. As a result, he was used at the commercial school in Simmern, which he co-founded: in 1964 he was promoted to deputy and in 1969 to the first headmaster. He retired on January 31, 1976. Then he was involved in setting up the tele-college economy.
In 1975, Lax was elected mayor of the city of Simmern as the successor to Kurt Schöllhammer . In 1977 he resigned for health reasons. Later he was active in the senior citizens' union of the CDU.
