Friedrich Haussmann (born August 21, 1873 in Oberndorf am Neckar ; † September 7, 1951 in Stuttgart ) was Lord Mayor of Tübingen from April 19, 1945 to June 18, 1945.

In this function, he campaigned for the first edition of the successor to the Nazi-burdened daily newspaper “Tübinger Chronik” under the name “Communications from the Military Government for the District” on May 23, 1945, four days after the occupation of Tübingen by the French Tübingen ”could appear. He recommended that the future Tübinger Zeitung “limit itself to reproducing orders from the occupation army and German official bodies” and “abstain from making a fundamental statement on past and present events”.

The then 72-year-old was an old man of the Tübingen royal society Roigel and with great skill and the necessary steadfastness he protected the interests of the city and its citizens. Before retiring, he was President of the Württemberg State Welfare Authority.
