from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Eibensteiner (born December 26, 1898 in Freistadt , Upper Austria ; † June 7, 1956 there ) was an Austrian politician ( SPÖ ).

Life

Johann Eibensteiner enjoyed only a simple school education who, after completing a five-class elementary school, found employment as a worker in a brewery . In this position he soon belonged to the union of the brewing workers' union, later to the union of the food and semi-luxury goods workers.

In the 1930s, he was briefly imprisoned in 1935 as well as in 1937 for the advocacy of the forbidden social democracy.

However, his political commitment did not begin until after the Second World War , when he was elected Vice Mayor of Freistadt in 1945. Eibensteiner remained so until his death.

After Eibensteiner had represented Upper Austria in the Federal Council from December 1945 to September 1947 , he moved in 1947 as a social democratic member of the Upper Austrian state parliament , to which he was to belong for only two years, until 1949.
