Christian Kreuzer

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christian Kreuzer (born May 26, 1915 ; died October 27, 1984 ) was a German politician (CSU). From 1949 to 1984 he was the district administrator of the Neustadt an der Waldnaab district .

Life

The lawyer and assessor, who practiced in Weiden , was a member of the CSU and was elected to succeed Hans Bodensteiner , who had been elected to the first German Bundestag, in the district assembly on October 24, 1949 by 29 votes to 14, with 2 abstentions . In the following years he did a lot for the reconstruction and in the 1970s he tried to establish and maintain industrial sites in the structurally weak region.

Due to pollutant emissions, inadequately secured landfills, leaks and an inadmissible lead concentration in the drinking water, investigations by the health department Weiden in the Upper Palatinate took place in 1983 against four lead glass factories located in the district and against Kreuzer, whose office knew of the violations for years but did nothing. In April 1984 there were widespread protests among the population of Neustadt against environmental pollution, especially at the Nachtmann factory in Neustadt.

On April 30, 1984, Kreuzer's last term ended; at that time he was the longest-serving district administrator in Bavaria and was last confirmed in office with 93% of the votes. On October 26, 1984, the Weiden public prosecutor brought charges against him. The 69-year-old hanged himself on the night of October 27, 1984.

Christian Kreuzer was buried in the Weiden city cemetery.
