from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hermann Fellner (born December 20, 1950 in Träglhof ; † May 17, 2020 ) was a German politician ( CSU ) and a member of the German Bundestag .

Life and work

Fellner grew up with five siblings on their parents' farm in Träglhof. He went to school in the one-class elementary school in Massenricht . After graduating from the Weiden Augustinus grammar school , he enrolled in law studies at the University of Regensburg .

After completing his studies, he returned to his parents' farm, which burned down in 1971, and rebuilt the business together with his brother. He gained practical experience in agriculture. Fellner worked as a lawyer in Freudenberg (Upper Palatinate) .

politics

Fellner was politically organized from an early age. So he acted z. B. as chairman of the local association of the Junge Union Ehenfeld - Massenricht . During his studies he was active in the ring of Christian-Democratic students .

In 1980 Fellner moved into the German Bundestag as the youngest member of the Bundestag as a direct member of the constituency of Amberg . At the nomination meeting he prevailed against Heinrich Aigner , who was aiming for a double mandate in Bonn and Brussels. Until 1990 he was a member of the German Bundestag . During this time he held the office of domestic policy spokesman for the CSU regional group.

Fellner said in 1985, in connection with the sale of the Flick Group to Deutsche Bank , when asked whether there should be compensation payments for the forced laborers during the Nazi era , that he “had neither a legal nor a legal claim for the Jews moral basis "see. It “gives the impression that the Jews quickly speak up when there is money in German coffers”. The Jews should also "not embarrass us with such demands". The question arises as to which demands of this kind might still come; at the same time he demanded "At some point we have to be quiet" and demanded that the Jews be "more sensitive to the Germans". Fellner later recommended that Deutsche Bank pay the compensation even without a legal obligation, and explained his statements, which had been criticized as anti-Semitic , for which - after initially rejecting them - he apologized to the Bundestag on January 16, 1986, in that he was seeking reparation from a moral point of view (there is no legal basis), but then called the time of the demands "almost immoral" in view of the ailing Flick company.
