Ernst Robert Rudelt (born January 21, 1860 in Leisnig ; † February 15, 1935 in Dresden ) was a German conservative local politician and member of the Saxon state parliament .

Life

Rudelt, who came from a humble background - his father was a weaver - initially worked as an administrative officer. In 1891 he became the mayor of Deuben in the Döhlen basin . Under his leadership, significant economic, technological and social advances were made in the place: the first households were connected to a drinking water supply. The streets, especially the main street (today's Dresdner Straße ), were paved and the street network was expanded to include two bridges over the Weißeritz . Soon a post office, a bathhouse and a hospital opened in town.

To use a public street lighting installation, founded Rudelt together with other places in Weißeritztal a community association that eventually the power plant for the Plauenschen basic built in Deuben. The power station also formed a basis for the Plauensche Grundbahn tram route leading to Deuben from 1902, as well as the general economic upswing of Deuben companies through access to electricity. The community association later invested in the creation of hydropower plants, and the Rabenauer Grund hydropower plant was given the nickname “Rudeltwerk” in honor of Rudelt.

From 1897 to 1909 Rudelt was also a member of the 16th rural electoral district in the second chamber of the Saxon state parliament. When the floods of 1897 caused great damage in Deuben, he was able to organize around 1.3 million marks for reconstruction. On September 30, 1917, his term of office as Mayor of Deubens ended, which a little later in 1921 was one of the founding communities of the city of Freital . Rudelt had previously proposed such a community merger in the valley. A street in the Niederhäslich and Schweinsdorf districts of Freital is named after him.
