Eduard Reuter , from 1913 Ritter von Reuter (born October 11, 1855 in Munich ; † 1942 ), was a Bavarian construction clerk.

Life

Eduard von Reuter studied civil engineering at the Technical University of Munich . In 1874 he became a member of the Corps Vitruvia Munich. After the state examination in building construction, he became a construction trainee in 1875. He filed for state bankruptcy in 1880 and initially became a building authority assessor in Passau . In 1885 he moved to the Munich State Building Authority where he was appointed government and district building assessor in 1890. In 1898 he was appointed to the Central Office of Bavarian Construction, the highest Bavarian building authority, where he was promoted to government and district building officer in the same year, to senior building officer in 1900 and to ministerial council in 1909 . Until 1917 he was responsible for building construction there. In 1917 he was transferred to the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior , appointed director of the Central Office for Bavarian Construction and promoted to ministerial director. He was in charge of this until September 30, 1921.

Reuter made a contribution to the state building industry in Bavaria. He was an advocate of an economic work of the building administration by organizational consolidation of all technical sub-areas in a large authority. Following this principle, he succeeded in bringing together building construction , civil engineering , road and path construction , bridge construction , hydraulic engineering , the use of hydropower , electricity supply and cultural construction in the central office of Bavarian construction , with a technically trained board at the top. Drafts for around 180 state buildings were assessed and approved by him, for example the construction of the police headquarters in Munich, combined with the preservation of the Munich Augustinian Church . Significant in the building police , regulations on keeping green areas free as compensation areas for the development of new building areas as well as the maintenance of lookout paths on the banks of lakes and rivers went back to him.

He was committed to homeland and nature conservation. At the first German Nature Conservation Day on July 26, 1925 in Munich, he gave the welcoming speech. In 1926 he proposed the creation of an intergovernmental plant protection law to protect alpine plants . From 1922 to 1934 he was chairman of the Bund Naturschutz in Bayern .
