Career
Abreß served after his school education as a soldier in World War II, from which he returned home seriously wounded. He took up law studies at the University of Munich and received his doctorate there in 1951 with a thesis on the recent changes in the concept of criminal action . In the same year he passed the Great State Examination in Law.
He entered the Bavarian civil service at the Traunstein District Office. There a close friendship arose with the family of Hans-Jochen Vogel , who was then a local judge at the Traunstein District Court, which has linked the two men ever since. In the following period Abreß worked in the public prosecutor's office at the Bavarian Administrative Court in Munich , in the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior and in the governments of the Upper Palatinate and Lower Bavaria. In 1962, Vogel - who has meanwhile been elected mayor of Munich - took him into the administration of the state capital. There he served, among other things, as deputy head of the directorate's urban planning office and as head of the building administration group in the building department. He had a decisive influence on the creation of the urban development plan for Munich, first adopted in 1963. With the contract to host the 1972 Summer Olympics in April 1966, the city's structural development accelerated. Abreß, as head of the city's investment planning and Olympic department, accompanied the considerable efforts to redesign it in preparation for the Games.
He has been involved in the Lions Club Munich since 1968 .
After Vogel relinquished his position as Lord Mayor to Georg Kronawitter in 1972 and after the success of the SPD in the federal election in 1972 , he took over the Ministry of Spatial Planning, Building and Urban Development, he brought Abreß to his ministry in Bonn-Bad Godesberg as a civil servant . The focus of his work in the following two years was the reform of land law .
When Vogel took over the Ministry of Justice after Willy Brandt's resignation in May 1974, Abreß remained State Secretary under Vogel's successor, Karl Raven . In the course of the cabinet reshuffle in February 1978 and the appointment of Dieter Haack as Federal Minister for Regional Planning, Building and Urban Development, he was retired on July 31, 1978.
In 1981 he accepted a teaching position at the social science faculty of the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich. In 1984 he was appointed honorary professor of law for social scientists.
Hubert Abreß is buried in the Gauting forest cemetery.
