Heinrich Meyer (born November 19, 1878 in Bülkau , † June 7, 1948 in Altenbruch ) was a German politician (DHP, NLP, DP).

Life

Heinrich Meyer was born in 1878 as the son of the farmer Eduard Meyer. After attending elementary school in the north end of his home town of Bülkau and taking private lessons with the local pastor, he earned his living as an agricultural employee. He later took over his father's farm in Bülkau. In 1914 he married Johanne Adelheit Marie Beckmann from Bülkau-Aue.

Meyer was the “prototype of the Guelph politician of honor”. After the war he began to be more politically active. Around 1920 he became a member of the Economic Association (Weimar Republic) , which he represented in the Prussian state parliament from 1921 to 1924 . In the Reichstag election in May 1924 Meyer was elected to the second Reichstag (Weimar Republic) for constituency 16 (South Hanover-Braunschweig) . After his mandate was confirmed in the election in December of the same year - this time in constituency 15 (southern Hanover) - he was a member of parliament until May 1928 as a member of the Economic Association. After the WV had entered into an electoral alliance with the German-Hanoverian Party (DHP), Meyer entered the Reichstag in the Reichstag election in 1928 on the party's proposal for a Reich election. He also became a member of the DHP Board of Directors. In the election of September 1930 Meyer succeeded in winning his old mandate for the DHP, so that he again represented constituency 15 in parliament until July 1932. After a four-month absence from parliament from July to November 1932, Meyer was able to renew his mandate one last time in the November 1932 Reichstag election .

From 1923 to 1948 Meyer was also chairman of the Bülkau dairy cooperative. For a time he was at the head of the dairy association for the Stade administrative region. In 1945 he was appointed chairman of the Lower Saxony butter sales center. He was also district deputy of the district of Neuhaus an der Oste - later of the district of Hadeln - and deputy chairman of the district committee; also member of the Hanoverian Agricultural Society and committee member of the Hanover Chamber of Agriculture as well as member of the regional church assembly of the Evangelical Lutheran regional church of Hanover and the district church assembly of Neuhaus.

On July 20, 1945, he was appointed by the British military authorities as district administrator of the Land Hadeln district in Otterndorf and, after being unanimously re-elected (1947), remained in office until his death. After the Second World War, Meyer joined the Lower Saxony State Party (NLP), which was renamed the German Party (DP) in 1947 , for which he was a member of the Lower Saxony State Parliament from 1946–1948 . In 1946/47 he was Vice President of the Appointed Lower Saxony State Parliament .

During a dike show, Meyer suffered a heart attack at Fat Berta's . On the remains of the Altenbruch lock from 1858, a memorial stone commemorates the dyke jury who died there. The inscription reads:
