Live and act

Alois Schlögl was born the son of a small farmer. After serving as a soldier in World War I from 1914 to 1918, Alois Schlögl initially worked as a journalist from 1920 . He also studied law and political science in Munich and Erlangen . In 1923 he received his doctorate from the University of Erlangen for Dr. rer. pole. The topic of his dissertation was: " The rural settlement and the war ". In addition, he began to work as an agricultural official. Chairman of the Christian Farmers 'Association in Passau since 1922 , he became director of the Lower Bavarian Christian Farmers' Association in Landshut in 1925 .

In addition, Schlögl was politically active in the Bavarian People's Party (BVP), for which he sat in the Bavarian state parliament in 1932 and 1933 . When the Bavarian government was switched off after Adolf Hitler's seizure of power on January 30, 1933, the BVP, which had now been deprived of all opportunities for action, dissolved on July 4, 1933. On June 13, 1933, at the instigation of Julius Streicher, Schlögl was brutally beaten up by the SA in front of his family and left for dead, an attack from which he was unable to fully recover. In the following years he still worked for church newspapers and later as a tax advisor . From 1941 to 1945 he was a soldier again, but had to go into hiding after the Hitler attack in July 1944.

Shortly after the end of the Second World War , Schlögl was one of the founders of the Christian Social Union (CSU) and the Bavarian Farmers' Association , of which he was first general secretary until 1948. At the same time he was also active again in the journalistic field. In September 1945 he applied for the approval of the company "Bayerischer Landwirtschaftsverlag (BLV)", which was approved in January 1946 with the license number US-E-126. In the same month, the first publication of the new publisher was the Bayerische Landwirtschaftliche Wochenblatt, with an initial circulation of 53,000 copies. On October 1, 1946, the sole proprietorship was transformed into "Bayerische Landwirtschaftsverlags GmbH". Initially the partners were Dr. Alois and Josefine Schlögl, from 1948 also the publisher Max Oesterreicher, and from March / April 1951 the Bavarian Farmers' Association and the Bavarian Raiffeisen Association.

Schlögl also quickly made a political career. In 1945 and 1946 he was a member of the provisional state committee of the CSU, then from 1948 to 1954 a member of the CSU state executive committee. In 1946 he became a member of the Bavarian Advisory State Committee and the State Constituent Assembly. From 1946 until his death in 1957, Schlögl was a member of the Bavarian State Parliament (MdL) and was appointed Minister of State for Food, Agriculture and Forests as his successor after Joseph Baumgartner joined the Bavarian Party in 1948 . He held this office until 1954.

In addition, Schlögl published articles on agricultural policy and history, the culmination of which was the extensive work Bavarian Agricultural History. The development of agriculture and forestry since the beginning of the 19th century (1954), which he wrote together with other authors and brought out in the FSVO.

Alois Schlögl was the father of the Egyptologist and actor Hermann A. Schlögl (* 1932 in Landshut) and the historian Waldemar Schlögl .
