Live and act

Eduard Heilingsetzer was the son of a senior magistrate and a brewer's daughter. He grew up in Hernals, where he attended elementary school and graduated with honors on July 3, 1924. From 1924 to 1928 he studied law at the University of Vienna , and received his doctorate in law on January 31, 1929. After practicing in court in Vienna and Mondsee, he began his career as a tax clerk at the district tax authorities in Bruck an der Leitha and did his job in the Regional Financial Directorate and in the Tax Administration for the 12/1 district. In May 1932 he passed the higher court examination, which was then mandatory for tax officials. On October 15, 1934, he was called to the Federal Ministry of Finance to provide services, where, after spending a year in a budget department, he was assigned to the head of the budget section with responsibility for budget matters of a general nature, federal budget, federal financial statement, monthly budget and credit overruns. From 1937 its head of the section was the eminent financial scientist Richard Pfaundler , who described it as extraordinarily hard-working, extremely conscientious and reliable and attested to its excellent use. After the annexation of Austria, Heilingsetzer was taken over into the German Reich administration, where he first worked in the Vienna Ministry of Finance and then in tax offices. In September 1945 he returned to his old job in the Austrian Ministry of Finance. On October 1, 1945 he took over the management of the budget section. Between 1960 and 1961 he was Federal Minister of Finance and then again worked as Section Head in the Ministry of Finance. Particularly noteworthy is his commitment to the construction of the Felbertauernstrasse. He was buried at the Vienna Central Cemetery .
