Friedrich Brokmeier

Friedrich Brokmeier (born June 3, 1893 in Detmold ; † December 11, 1968 in Hamburg ) was a German lawyer. He was appointed mayor of Neunkirchen by the French occupying power in 1946 .

Life

Brokmeier first obtained a degree in economics from the Fürst Leopold Academy in Detmold , then studied law and worked from April 1, 1927 to February 28, 1935 as a salaried assistant to the mayor of Neunkirchen, Georg Blank . After the annexation of the Saarland to the German Reich , he spent the rule of the National Socialists in emigration , first in Strasbourg , then in Nice . After the war he returned to the Saarland. He was appointed mayor of Neunkirchen by the military government. He was introduced to the office on May 2, 1946 by District Commander Major de Mahuet and District Administrator Steines.

The first free city council election in Neunkirchen took place on September 15, 1946. Brokmeier was elected to the city council as a member of the social democratic faction and on September 22, 1946 became the first elected honorary mayor of Neunkirchen after the war. The first appointment by the French military government and the pro-Europe course of the SPS led to a scandal within the party, which ultimately led to a split in the party. In November 1954, an anonymous leaflet was published in which Brokmeier was insulted as a “bailiff of the French occupation forces”.

His term of office included coping with the post-war years , the 25th anniversary of the city, the restart of the Neunkircher Hütte and the implementation of the referendum on the Saar Statute .

His term of office ended on June 5, 1956. His successor was Josef Frank .

Friedrich Brokmeier was married to his wife Marga. The couple had two sons. One of her sons is the political scientist Peter Brokmeier , who is considered an expert on Hannah Arendt .
