Alois Rübsamen (born February 15, 1939 in Oberlahr , Westerwald , † August 20, 2013 in Schliengen ) was a German politician ( CDU ). He was mayor in Schliengen and district administrator of the Lörrach district .

Life

After finishing school in Oberlahr, Alois Rübsamen began training in administration in the Flammersfeld community . This was followed by positions in the Bonn-Bad Godesberg city ​​administration , in the Neuwied district office and as a managing official at the Gebhardshain municipal administration . In 1966 he passed the state examination for senior administrative service at the Koblenz Administrative School. In 1971 he was elected mayor of Schliengen; he carried out this function until 1989. During his tenure, the community reform with the voluntary amalgamation of five communities into one community, flood protection measures and construction measures, such as the construction of the lever school with gym and the restoration of theEntenstein moated castle (town hall) in the foreground. Rübsamen was co-founder and chairman of the Markgräflerland youth music school until 1989.

From 1989 to 2004 he was the district administrator of the Lörrach district. At the beginning of the term of office, it was a matter of looking for a location for the household waste generated in the district. This problem was solved with a long-term contract for the thermal disposal of waste in the Basel incineration plant . The district faced another challenge with dioxin problems in the city of Rheinfelden .

In local public transport, there were important steps for the Regio-S-Bahn and the regional environmental card was introduced to get more people on the "rails". Help for the elderly was achieved through the construction of the Markgräflerland nursing home in Weil am Rhein , the expansion of the Rheinweiler nursing home and the renovation of the Markus Pflügerheim in Schopfheim-Wiechs.

After the takeover of the city hospitals Schopfheim (1991) and Lörrach (1993), the district clinics were founded in 1994 as an independent company and later as a GmbH. The aim was to bundle forces with the concentration of service offers in the hospitals or as it was called nationwide: The Lörracher Weg - an important but not easy task.

The district positioned itself across all parties as a pioneer of a drug policy based on prevention rather than just repression. This was preceded by the fact that in 1997 there were 14 drug deaths in the district and thus the district was at the inglorious top in Baden-Württemberg.

In the Upper Rhine Council he was committed to intensive cross-border cooperation between Germany, France and Switzerland. As a result, it was possible to set up a neighborhood conference with political representatives from the three-country corner, which dealt with current issues across borders. He strongly advocated the expansion of the former French customs facility on the Palmrain Bridge into a trinational competence center Maison Trirhena and a cross-border advice center (INFOBEST Palmrain). While Infobest employees processed over 4,500 inquiries from the three countries in 2002, in 2010 it was over 6,700.

As a member of the University Council of the Cooperative State University in Lörrach , he was committed to the new building and tri-national courses. For many years he was a member of the regional association Hochrhein-Bodensee and the airport advisory board Basel-Mulhouse as well as deputy chairman of the supervisory board of the baths and spa administration Bad Bellingen and district chairman of the German Red Cross Lörrach. The partnerships with the district of Glauchau / Saxony (today Zwickau ) in 1990 and with the Polish district of Lubliniec (2002) go back to his initiative.
