Egon Holder
Egon Hölder (born May 30, 1927 in Pforzheim ; † September 2, 2007 ) was a German civil servant and President of the Federal Statistical Office .
Life
Hölder is considered to be one of the pioneers in the introduction of electronic data processing in public administration at the end of the 1960s.
From 1983 to 1992, Hölder was head of the Federal Statistical Office. During his term of office, the population census from 1987, which was controversial among the population, and the merging of statistics from East and West in the course of German unification fell .
To this end, Hölder took measures early on to prepare for the introduction of federal statistics during the transition phase of the GDR and then to get them off the ground in the new federal states with as little friction as possible. He also played a key role in the implementation of the first all-German federal election in 1990 .
Holder was particularly committed to the census after the first attempt to conduct a census in 1983 was stopped by the Federal Constitutional Court .
