Helmut Meyer (politician)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Helmut Meyer (born September 28, 1928 in Munich ; † August 25, 2012 there ) was an administrative officer and SPD chairman in Munich as well as a member of the Bavarian state parliament .

Meyer graduated from high school in Munich in the spring of 1947 and studied law and economics there. After legal clerkship and doctorate, he worked in the Bavarian Ministry of Education from 1956 to 1959 and then until 1961 as the deputy head of the Bavarian main welfare office. In February 1961 he moved to the school department of the state capital of Munich, initially as head of the legal and administrative department, later as city director and representative of the city school council.

In February 1970 Meyer was elected chairman of the SPD sub-district in Munich. His assumption of office was marked by internal struggles for direction, in which Meyer emerged as an exponent of the left wing and opponent of the incumbent SPD Mayor of Munich Hans-Jochen Vogel . After Vogel threatened to resign, the delegates of the sub-district voted out Meyer and the other board members. Meyer subsequently ran for the Bavarian State Parliament in the district of Munich-Altstadt and entered the state parliament directly in the seventh electoral term, and in the eighth and ninth electoral terms via the Upper Bavaria constituency list. He was a member of the Bavarian State Parliament from December 1970 to October 1984, where he was a member of the State Budget and Financial Affairs Committee in all three periods.
