Friedrich Grass

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Martin Graß (born January 9, 1902 in Ludwigshafen am Rhein , † August 31, 1971 in Landau in the Palatinate ) was a German economist and politician.

Life

Graß came from a long-established Palatinate family. After graduating from high school, he began studying economics, which he completed with a doctorate in 1928. Graß gained his first political experience in the early 1920s as a supporter of the nationalist movement in the Palatinate, which turned - also violently - against the French occupation of their homeland after the First World War and against separatist currents in the local population. At this time, the young conservative writer and activist Edgar Jung , one of the key organizers of the “Palatine defensive struggle”, to which he remained closely associated until Jung's violent death in 1934, became a political role model admired for life .

In the years 1927 to 1934, Graß earned his living as an editor. In 1930 he married Johanna Drießen. The marriage had three children, including the politician and member of the Bundestag Karl Martin Graß . From 1938 to 1948 Friedrich Graß worked as a career advisor.

After the end of the Nazi regime, he began to be politically active in the CDU. From 1948 to 1949, Graß served as district administrator in Bergzabern , from 1950 to 1967 as district administrator in Landau . In the meantime he sat from 1950 to 1951 as a member of the state parliament of Rhineland-Palatinate. Until 1965 he also held the post of deputy state chairman of the CDU in Rhineland-Palatinate. He was awarded the Freiherr vom Stein plaque .
