from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Erwin Gomeringer (born July 16, 1914 in Meßstetten ; † March 26, 2006 ) was a German politician ( CDU ).

Life

Gomeringer worked as a commercial clerk and planned to become self-employed. However, he could not realize this because he had to participate as a soldier in World War II and was subsequently taken prisoner by the United States.

After the end of the war, Gomeringer joined the CDU and was active in local politics. He served as mayor of the city of Meßstetten from 1946 to 1978 and in 1954 initiated the Hohenberg Group, a special-purpose association for water supply. From 1948 to 1971 he was a member of the district council in the Balingen district and there for a time chairman of the CDU parliamentary group. In addition, was for 30 years a member of the local political association of the CDU / CSU at the federal level.

Gomeringer was a member of the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg from 1960 to 1976 . In the state elections in 1960 he was elected via a second mandate for the constituency of Balingen, in the state elections in 1964 , 1968 and 1972 he won the direct mandate . As chairman of the committee for administrative reform, he played a decisive role in the drafting of the regional reform in Baden-Württemberg . On February 22, 1975 there was therefore a demonstration in the Zollernalb district. A car parade about five kilometers long on the federal highway 463 from Weilstetten to Meßstetten presented Erwin Gomeringer with a protest note. When a Kelly Barnes Dam broke on November 6, 1977 in Toccoa (USA) and numerous people were killed, a condolence letter written by Erwin Gomeringer was read out on the American radio. A letterhead designed by Sister Cities International is used for the partnership between Meßstetten and Toccoa.

Erwin Gomeringer was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit 1st Class in 1970. He was married and had a daughter and a son with his wife Hilde.
