Heinrich Havemann
Heinrich Havemann (born February 18, 1871 in Lüneburg , † August 18, 1951 in Hildesheim ) was a German craftsman (master painter) and politician (DVP).
Live and act
Havemann, who came from a Lutheran family in Lüneburg, completed an apprenticeship as a painter after attending secondary school. He later attended several arts and crafts schools. From 1891 to 1892 he was a member of the Prinz-Albrecht Fusilier Regiment in Hanover and obtained a certificate of qualification as a reserve officer. A few years of wandering and studying followed, during which Havemann visited the German Empire , Austria-Hungary , Switzerland and Italy .
In 1898 he opened a larger painter's shop in Hildesheim, which the handbook of the members of the Reichstag from 1920 described as "first class". In Hildesheim he also became chairman of the guild committee and holder of several municipal honorary offices. In addition, he was a board member of the Northwest German Crafts Association. During and after the First World War , Havemann was involved in career counseling for disabled people, which is why he was awarded the War Aid Cross of Merit.
After the war, Havemann joined the German People's Party founded by Gustav Stresemann in 1919 . For this he moved in 1920 as a member of constituency 18 (Hanover-Braunschweig) in the Berlin Reichstag. He was a member first until May 1924 and then - with a brief interruption of five months - again from October 1924 to 1928.
In the 1928 Reichstag elections, Havemann missed re-election to parliament. A year later, in October 1929, he was still able to take a seat as a member of parliament when, after Stresemann's death, he replaced him in the Reichstag. In the Reichstag elections of September 1930, Havemann failed to achieve re-election again and left the Reichstag again - and now for good.
In 1933 Havemann was deposed as president of the Chamber of Crafts. Havemann, who was considered to be of little importance as a political figure by most observers, died in 1951. The Times Magazine saw in him only a “loyal stooge of Stresemann's People's Party” and judged his “statesmanlike qualifications” to be only minuscule (“tiny "). The painting company he founded exists to the present day.
