from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Günther Paul Bernhard Paslat , also Günter Paslat (born October 16, 1910 in Berlin , † December 14, 1987 in Hemmingen ) was a German administrative officer and SPD local politician. From 1948 to 1972 he was City Director of the City of Salzgitter .

Life

The son of the union employee Bernhard Paslat and his wife Selma was born in Berlin and graduated from the Werner Siemens secondary school there in March 1928 with secondary school leaving certificate. He joined the city of Berlin in April 1929 as an office candidate in the Wedding District Office. Paslat completed a three-year apprenticeship in the city administration and was appointed extraordinary city secretary on April 1, 1932. He belonged to the free civil servants' union and since 1931 the SPD and was therefore dismissed on June 30, 1933 under the National Socialists . Paslat was unemployed for several months before he was hired as an accountant for the Rheinsberg city ​​administration in February 1934 . In 1936 he worked in the district communal treasury at the Niederbarnim district administration . In August 1939 he passed his second administrative examination before he was seconded to Hohensalza in the Reichsgau Wartheland in November . Due to his achievements in setting up the finance department, he was appointed provisional city treasurer on January 30, 1943. A final appointment did not take place, however, since Paslat was not a member of the NSDAP . In June 1943 he was called up for military service. He became a prisoner of war, from which he was released in Italy in October 1945.

Activity in Salzgitter

From May 1946 to June 1947 Paslat was city director of the city of Peine . In August 1947 he moved to Salzgitter as city director, where he was elected senior city director in March 1948. As a result of a corruption scandal involving meat shops in 1948, Paslat was given leave of absence, but returned to the position of senior city director in 1953 following a council resolution. He was elected on September 25, 1960 for a further twelve-year term. In 1972 he retired. During Paslat's term of office, the creation of new living space, the improvement of the infrastructure, the expansion of the "City" Salzgitter-Lebenstedt and the construction of the Salzgittersee fell . In the run-up to the major regional and administrative reform in Lower Saxony , the viability of the still young city of Salzgitter was discussed from the mid-1960s. Together with Mayor Willi Blume , Paslat rejected possible dissolution models for the city of Salzgitter from 1968 to the expert commission ( Weber commission). According to Paslat, his most important task in Salzgitter was to "lead the city out of its monoculture and free it from the complete dependence of the Salzgitter Group ."

Paslat was also active in supraregional bodies, such as the Presidium of the German Association of Cities and on the board of the Northwest German Hospital Society. He was on the board of directors of the community center for administrative simplification and was head of the community administration school in Braunschweig.
