Alfred Schachner-Blazizek

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alfred Schachner-Blazizek (born July 5, 1912 in Mürzzuschlag as Alfred Blazizek, † September 17, 1970 in Graz ) was an Austrian politician of the SPÖ in the state of Styria .

During his studies in 1930 he became a member of the Arminia Vienna fraternity . On June 1, 1933, Schachner-Blazizek, who came from a family of railway workers, joined the NSDAP ( membership number 1.610.437) and was active in the district administration in Mürzzuschlag and as a NS district judge during the Nazi regime. In 1945 he was appointed district captain of the Mürzzuschlag district by the provisional governor Reinhard Machold . In the 1950s he changed his last name to Schachner. He came through the BSA to the SPÖ, whose Styrian state chairman he was from 1960. He was also deputy chairman of the federal party. As part of the coalition negotiations after the National Council election in 1966 , Schachner-Blazizek was under discussion for a ministerial post or even as SPÖ vice-chancellor; eventually the negotiations failed and the SPÖ went into opposition. For the first Kreisky government in 1970, Schachner-Blazizek was appointed finance minister, but he declined because he was terminally ill with cancer by then.

Schachner-Blazizek was Deputy Governor of Styria from January 2, 1964 to September 17, 1970. Before that, from January 27, 1954 to January 2, 1964 he was a simple Provincial Councilor.

The Alfred Schachner Memorial Fund is a party affiliated institution with the task of promoting scientific research and cultural achievements.

His son Peter Schachner-Blazizek was also an SPÖ politician.
