Hermann Lange-Hegermann (born April 19, 1877 in Bottrop ; † May 10, 1961 there ) was a German businessman and politician ( center ).

Live and act

Hermann Lange-Hegermann was the son of a Catholic family from Westphalia. Until he was fourteen, Lange-Hegermann, whose father was a business owner, attended the elementary and rectorate school in Bottrop. He then completed an apprenticeship as a tailor from 1891 to 1894, and finally an apprenticeship as a businessman by 1897. From 1897 to 1902 he worked as a salesman, traveling salesman and accountant in Berlin and Cologne . In 1902 he became a partner in his father's business in Bottrop, and in 1906 the owner. As a respected citizen of his city, he later also became a municipality or city councilor in Bottrop as well as a member of the Recklinghausen district assembly and the Münster Chamber of Crafts and Chairman of the Bottrop Guild Committee. In addition, there was membership in the supervisory board of the main cooperative for the Münster Chamber of Crafts.

After the First World War , Lange-Hegermann began to become more involved in the Catholic Center Party. In this he became chairman of the craft council of the Westphalian regional group. He was also a member of the Reichstag in Berlin for his party from 1920 to 1928 . In this, Lange-Hegermann initially represented constituency 19 (Westphalia-North) from 1920 to May 1924, then - after a change in the constituency numbering - from May 1924 to 1928 constituency 17 (Westphalia-North). In the Berlin parliament, Lange-Hegermann, who was regarded as a “clever mind” in financial questions, was particularly noticeable as chairman of an eight-member “committee of inquiry to examine the effect of the measures to support the mark” set up during the economic crisis of the early 1920s. In addition, he was a member of the supervisory boards of many companies in the Barmat Group .

Lange-Hegermann gave up his Bottrop business as early as 1922 after the French invasion of the Ruhr area.
