Hermann Feneberg

Hermann Feneberg (born August 18, 1903 ; † 1977 ) was a German lawyer, war administrator , prosecutor at the court of the field command and from February 1, 1958 until his retirement on August 31, 1968, president of the Bavarian Administrative Court . He was also a member of the constituency commission at the Federal Ministry of the Interior.

Career

In 1930 Feneberg passed the major state examination in law and joined the Bavarian state administration. He was a member of Bayernwacht and the BVP youth team . In 1928 he received his doctorate from the University of Würzburg . In 1937 he joined the NSDAP and took part in World War II . In 1945 he was dismissed from the public service. In the denazification process he was classified as a follower in 1946 and denazified as exonerated in 1950. Before 1949 he joined the CSU . In 1947 he returned to the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior as an employee and was promoted to government councilor on January 1, 1948 . In quick succession he was promoted to senior government councilor (July 1, 1948), government director (July 1, 1949) and finally to ministerial councilor on September 1, 1950. When the Bavarian State Parliament was re-elected in November 1950 , its former sponsor, the Christian Social Interior Minister Willi Ankermüller , had to vacate his position for Wilhelm Hoegner ( SPD ) in the Ehard III cabinet . It then took five years before he was promoted to ministerial director. As head of the state administration and budget department, he was subordinate to Interior Minister Otto Bezold ( FDP ), who made him President of the Bavarian Administrative Court .

At the ceremony on the occasion of his inauguration, there was a scandal in February 1958 when the senior Senate President, Robert Adam, stepped to the lectern and complained about the dependence of the court on the Ministry of the Interior. His criticism was directed against the fact that the court was subordinate to the very authority whose work it was supposed to control. He also complained that it was not an administrative judge who became president of the Administrative Court, but administrative officer Feneberg. Thereupon the Bavarian Prime Minister Hanns Seidel rose and shouted with a red face: "I ask you to stop this kind of remarks, otherwise you will force me to leave the room."

Since 1961 Feneberg was also an honorary professor for administrative law at the Technical University of Munich .
