Aloys Oberhammer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Aloys Oberhammer (born July 1, 1900 in Innsbruck , † February 24, 1983 in Vienna ) was an Austrian politician ( ÖVP ) and state official. Oberhammer was a member of the National Council from 1950 to 1957 and a regional councilor in the Tyrolean state government from 1957 to 1961 .

Life

After finishing elementary school, Oberhammer attended the Stella Matutina grammar school in Feldkirch and graduated from high school . He studied later at the University of Innsbruck and received his doctorate in 1923 for Dr. phil. After that, Oberhammer was employed in the film trade and in 1925 joined the Caritas Association. He subsequently rose to the position of deputy director of the association, but became unemployed after the association was dissolved in 1938. He then worked as an apprentice and later as a salesman in an electrical and installation business. After the Second World War he worked as head of the state youth welfare office from 1948, before that he was state party secretary of the ÖVP Tyrol.

Oberhammer was active as a member of the Innsbruck municipal council between 1934 and 1938 and was a member of the National Council from January 27, 1950 to December 20, 1957. He then worked as regional councilor from November 12, 1957 to November 7, 1961 in the state governments of Tschiggfrey I and Tschiggfrey II . On August 10, 1961, he resigned as chairman of the Tyrolean People's Party . An interview from July on the South Tyrol issue was his undoing.

Oberhammer fought for South Tyrol's right to self-determination and promoted a resolution in the UN with the demand for regional autonomy for South Tyrol. For example, his speech in the plenary session of the Austrian National Council on the subject of South Tyrol on December 4, 1957, where he presented the South Tyrol issue as one of the essential European minority issues, was essential. On December 23, 1959, the Italian government issued an entry ban against Oberhammer. On November 28, 1961, the UN General Assembly renewed its South Tyrol resolution of October 1960, but not to the extent that Oberhammer wanted to achieve. Because of his political stance and his participation in the South Tyrolean Liberation Committee , he was sentenced to 30 years imprisonment in Italy in the second Milan trial in 1966.

From 1920 he was a member of the Catholic student union AV Austria Innsbruck .
