Alfred Diesbach

Alfred Diesbach (born April 11, 1899 in Heidelberg ; † October 27, 1983 in Konstanz ) was a German politician ( SPD ) and Lord Mayor of Konstanz from 1957 to 1959.

Life

Alfred Diesbach was the son of Jakob Diesbach and Franziska geb. Chain man. He was married to Gretl Schleier.

Diesbach worked as a school teacher from 1919 to 1950 . During the Weimar period he worked at the secondary school and the engineering school in Constance. After the war he first lived in Mannheim, where he was denazified and classified as a follower. In 1948 he moved back to Constance and attended the “St. Stefan boys' elementary school”.

Alfred Diesbach was a member of the Social Democratic Party of Germany and ran in the municipal elections in 1948 in Constance's constituency 183. He was group leader of the SPD in the Konstanz parliament.

After the death of the First Deputy Mayor Fritz Arnold , Director of the Stadtwerke, on June 17, 1950, Diesbach was elected his successor almost unanimously on August 24, 1950.

On July 17, 1954, he was a member of the 2nd Federal Assembly in the East Prussia Hall in Berlin , nominated by the SPD , at which Theodor Heuss was elected Federal President .

In the mayor election on November 3, 1957 Diesbach was defeated by his rival Bruno Helmle , but due to electoral objections, he could not be installed. Only with the resignation of the incumbent Franz Knapp could Alfred Diesbach become the first mayor and thus the legal deputy mayor of Konstanz. On June 21, 1959, Bruno Heimle was elected as his successor.

Diesbach has published numerous writings on local history. In the first Konstanz Almanac from 1955, he wrote a highly regarded essay on the subject of “building planning”.
