Ernst Vergani
Ernst Vergani (born March 15, 1848 in Solec, Galicia , today Ukraine , † February 19, 1915 in Emmersdorf ) was a civil engineer , property owner and newspaper editor in Mühldorf near Spitz .
Life
Vergani attended the German Realschule in Lemberg , the Bergakademie Schemnitz and the Montanistische Hochschule in Příbram .
He initially worked as an engineer in Galicia and Moravia and in 1874 became the works manager of the Austrian Moravian Graphite Union (Mühldorfer Grafitwerk).
In 1875 he became a member of the National Association in Krems . In 1880 he joined Georg von Schönerer , founded a local group in the German School Association and shortly afterwards joined the German National Association . In 1882 he was elected mayor.
Through his marriage to Emma Gruber in 1881 he became the owner of the Trenninghof and the mine refinery in Mühldorf.
After a failed candidacy in 1884, he was elected to the state parliament in the 1886 by- election.
On December 4, 1886, he founded Austria's first Raiffeisenkasse with 90 farmers and tradespeople in Mühldorf , and was elected its first chairman.
After Schönerer was sentenced to four months' imprisonment in May 1888, Vergani had himself celebrated as his successor at the Wachau festival on the Aggstein castle ruins in June . After Schoner's Sofiensaal speech in 1885 against corruption in the press, many in the party thought about a non-Jewish daily newspaper. Even before Schoenerer's release, Vergani founded the Deutsche Volksblatt on December 15, 1888 with the financial participation of Wilhelm Philipp Hauck . After Hauck's forced exit, it fell into a crisis, but later became profitable. The founding of the Deutsches Volksblatt , rejected by Schönerer, led to the separation and ongoing violent polemics. Previously heavily in debt, he made a fortune with the newspaper and moved into a villa in Emmersdorf .
In July 1890 he founded the National Economic Association as a political platform together with Heinrich Fürnkranz .
In the crisis of his paper he approached the Christian socials , to whose national fringes he then belonged.
In 1897 he led an honorary insult against Schönerer, which ended with his acquittal. Thereupon he resigned his mandate (politics) and all offices. In 1897/98 he sold Trenningschlössl and Grafitwerk to the industrialist (arch.) Adolf Jäger from Vienna.
In the by-election he was put up again, but was defeated in the second ballot against the businessman and savings bank director Eduard Riether (1838-1915) from Ottenschlag .
In the turmoil of the Viennese Christian Socialists after the death of Karl Lueger in March 1910, he wanted to give the party a stronger national orientation.
