Life

Hill attended elementary school and then high school. On September 1, 1937, he was accepted into the NSDAP ( membership number 4,813,196). From April 1939 he did Reich Labor Service and took part in World War II as a soldier from December 1939 , most recently as a lieutenant and company commander.

Hügel was a master typesetter and qualified manager, owner of a printing company in Bexbach and state guild master of the Saarland book printer guild. In addition, he was President of the Employers' Association of Saarland Crafts. He was Roman Catholic, married since 1946 and had two daughters.

In 1975 Hügel was elected to the Saarland Landtag , where he chaired the FDP parliamentary group from 1977 to 1982. After Werner Klumpp's resignation , he took over his position as Minister for Economic Affairs, Transport and Agriculture in the Zeyer II cabinet on July 14, 1982 . His term of office fell into a steel crisis from which Arbed-Saarstahl GmbH was threatened in its existence. Dissatisfied with Hügel's policy, his parliamentary group publicly called on him to resign in October 1983, whereupon he handed over his post to Walter Henn . He had already resigned his state parliament mandate in January 1983.
