Johann Löchner
Johann Georg Löchner (born November 26, 1861 in Öhringen ; † February 13, 1923 in Stuttgart ) was a member of the Württemberg state parliament .
Johann Löchner trained as a primary school teacher in the private seminar in Tempelhof. Since 1880 he worked as a teacher in Stuttgart, first as a provisional at the elementary school and then as a middle school teacher, from 1906 at the girls' middle school. From 1899 to 1907 he was a member of the citizens' committee, from 1912 to 1913 and from 1919 to 1922 a member of the city council of Stuttgart.
From 1906 to 1918 he was a member of the Second Württemberg Chamber of Deputies . In 1919 he was a member of the state constitutional assembly and from 1920 until his death in 1923 a member of the first regular Württemberg state parliament . While giving a speech to the plenary , he suffered a heart attack, to which he succumbed immediately. In the obituaries, the left-wing liberal - he was a member of the German Democratic Party - was recognized as an outstanding advocate of the interests of the teaching profession. For many years he had campaigned for their concerns as the first chairman of the teachers' association. From its founding in 1920 until his death, he also headed the Württemberg Civil Service Association as 1st Chairman.
Johann Löchner had made it his life's work to establish the free constitutional state. He played a key role in the corresponding further development of civil service law within the framework of a progressive and liberal imperial constitution. His life was entirely focused on serving his class and the people. In recognition of his services, the Württemberg teachers' association acquired a rest home for teachers on the island of Reichenau in 1925 and gave it its name. The “Strandhotel Löchnerhaus”, which operates at the same location, still reminds of the “Löchnerheim” today.
