Alois Michner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alois Michner (born August 2, 1885 in Eberndorf ; † February 1, 1959 ) was an Austrian politician and Member of the Carinthian state parliament .

Life

Alois Michner was the son of a finance officer of the same name and brother of the officer Emil Michner . He worked as a civil servant in the state service. In addition, he was active in the German School Association, where he was elected secretary of the Gau Carinthia in 1913 .

During the First World War he was company commander in Regiment 3 of the kk Kärntner Freiwilligen Schützen . After the war he became chairman of the comradeship of the Carinthian volunteer riflemen until it was dissolved in 1938. After the re-establishment in 1955, Michner was re-elected chairman and remained so until his death.

In April 1918 he married Sylvia Neumann in the old Catholic emergency church in Graz .

During the Carinthian defensive battle , he took part in the fighting and earned military awards for it.

Michner became politically active in the German National Socialist Workers' Party (DNSAP) and became its state party leader. For the state election in 1921 , the DNSAP ran together with the Carinthian farmers' union in the Carinthian electoral community and Michner was the only representative of his party to win a mandate. In the next state elections in Carinthia in 1923 , the DNSAP ran independently and gained enough votes to maintain its mandate. When the National Socialists split up in the summer of 1926 into a camp of Hitler supporters and representatives of an independent policy under the leadership of Karl Schulz, Michner and a large part of his regional party supported the Schulz group. Michner defended his mandate again in the 1927 state elections , to which the DNSAP took part as part of the unified list . However, the Schulz group became increasingly meaningless. Michner resigned his state parliament mandate on March 30, 1928 and left the Schulz group in November 1929 to join the NSDAP Hitler movement .

For a short time Michner was also a member of the storm department .

After the war, Michner found a connection with the Austrian People's Party and became a secretary in their state parliament club.

Alois Michner died on February 1, 1959 at the age of 73.
