Herbert Pfleiderer (born March 16, 1912 in Heilbronn ; † December 9, 1982 ) was a German entrepreneur.

Life

He was the son of the Heilbronn wood merchant Paul Otto Pfleiderer (1880–1960), attended school in Heilbronn and from 1927 completed an apprenticeship in the family business, the Pfleiderer wood business , which Herbert's father Paul Otto and his uncle Adolf Pfleiderer joined to a large industrial company several locations was expanded. He then studied at the wood technology center in Rosenheim and then returned to the family business, which in the meantime had moved its headquarters to Neumarkt in the Upper Palatinate in 1931 , but continued to operate its central office in Heilbronn. He lost his right arm in World War II . In the meantime, the Pfleiderer company moved completely from Heilbronn to Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz in 1944 due to the effects of the war. After the Second World War, Herbert Pfleiderer initially took over the management of the Heilbronner Flammer-Werke , a soap factory owned by the family of his wife Brigitte, née. Flammer (1919-2010). It was his merit at Flammer to prevent the threatened dismantling of the plant. In 1949 he went to Neumarkt and took over the family business there, which he managed until 1973. He built the plant in Neumarkt into Germany's largest woodworks and expanded the company to include an infrastructure technology division. As a passionate rider, he was also committed to equestrian sports and horse breeding.

In 1973 he was followed in the company management by his son Ernst-Herbert Pfleiderer , who remained on the Pfleiderer Supervisory Board until 2010. His daughter Beatrix Pfleiderer was an anthropologist.
