Franz Kammann (born October 21, 1854 as Franz Aulich in Theresienfeld , Lower Austria ; † December 28, 1926 in Wiener Neustadt ) was an Austrian German national politician and mayor of Wiener Neustadt.

Live and act

Franz Aulich was the son of the card manufacturer Alois Aulich and his wife Johanna Aulich, née Grittner. As a boy he lived in Wiener Neustadt with his uncle Franz Kammann and his wife Josefa Kammann, who was a sister of his mother. His uncle Franz Kammann was the property owner and farmer as well as city ​​treasurer and thus a member of the municipal council of Wiener Neustadt. Uncle Franz Kammann was politically active against resistance for the Neue Promenade , whose value was subsequently recognized, and in 1877 became an honorary citizen of the city for this achievement.

After Uncle Franz Kammann died in 1877, Franz Aulich's adoption was brought in by the widow. The adoption was approved by the authorities, he was now allowed to use the name Franz Kammann and he inherited real estate in 1881 , including the Kammann barracks .

Kammann was mayor of Wiener Neustadt from 1897 to 1913, with his 6th re-election on February 13, 1910. In 1908, Kammann ran as the successor to Julius Anton Schwarz (1854-1914) for the Lower Austrian Landtag and in 1909 became a member of the Landtag. On June 13, 1911, Kammann ran for the Reichsrat , but was defeated by 1868 votes against the social democratic candidate Engelbert Pernerstorfer with 2601 votes.

During his tenure, numerous buildings such as the water tower , a market hall, a sanatorium as an extension to the Wiener Neustadt hospital , the post office, the synagogue , the Protestant church and a cemetery chapel were built. A military hospital and the cavalry barracks were built in 1903, the military riding school in 1904 and the artillery barracks in 1911 . In 1909 the monarchy's first airfield was laid out in Wiener Neustadt, from which the air barracks emerged by 1917 .
