Alfred Nerger (born June 16, 1886 in Zeitz ; † February 5, 1983 in West Berlin ) was a German administrative lawyer .

Life

As the son of a businessman, Nerger studied law at the Eberhard Karls University . In 1905 he became active in the Corps Franconia Tübingen . Since the Corps had stupidly attracted attention in 1904 by “endangering academic discipline”, it was dissolved on January 25, 1906 by the academic disciplinary commission until the end of 1906. For Nerger's reception, therefore, the Corps Rhenania Tübingen had to be asked for gun protection . On February 9, 1906 he was reciprocated in Franconia's auxiliary corps Hansea . After 13 lengths it was inactivated on November 12, 1906 . He moved to the University of Leipzig and the Friedrichs University of Halle . He passed the legal traineeship in 1908 and the assessor examination in 1914 . In the meantime he served as a one-year volunteer with the Torgau Field Artillery Regiment 74 in the 8th Division (German Empire) . As a lieutenant in the reserve (officer's license from 1913), he went to the First World War. On November 14, 1915, he married Else Bergter , who gave him two daughters. For the past two and a half years he was regimental adjutant and first lieutenant . He returned with both Iron Crosses.

After working in the Reich Finance Administration , he took over the Zeitz tax office as a member of the government , which he headed for eleven years. In 1931 he was elected Lord Mayor of Zeitz for 12 years . For many years he was chairman of the examination commission for municipal and savings bank officials in the province of Saxony . In 1939, before the attack on Poland , he took early retirement because he was in constant feud with the NSDAP . The EA Naether AG , the largest industrial companies in Zeitz, immediately appointed him to its board of directors. Under difficult circumstances, he managed this company and its 2000-strong followers until the end of the war. The Americans put him under automatic arrest as a former officer . Released soon, he was imprisoned in Soviet prisons for seven and a half years - solely because of his position during the National Socialist era . After his release, he lived in Berlin-Dahlem for six years , then in Tübingen and finally in a Berlin retirement home.
