Johann Wartner (estimated 1938)

Johann Baptist Wartner (born June 17, 1883 in Scheibelsgrub ; † January 13, 1963 there ) was a German politician of the Bavarian Farmers' Union and the Bavarian Party .

Wartner attended elementary school from 1889 to 1896 . In 1908 he took over the small family farm in Scheibelsgrub near Mitterfels near Straubing . In 1919 he became chairman of the Bogen District Assembly . He was also a member of the Lower Bavarian District Council and the Arch District Committee . In 1925 he became mayor of the Mitterfels community.

From 1920 to January 9, 1933, Wartner was a member of the Bavarian State Parliament for the Bavarian Farmers' Union. In March 1933 he joined the NSDAP parliamentary group.

After the war he joined the Bavarian Party, which he represented in the German Bundestag in its first legislative period (1949–1953). He was directly elected in the constituency of Straubing . From 1949 to January 17, 1951 he was deputy chairman of the Bundestag committee for burden sharing.

Shortly before his death, Wartner declared that in the election of Konrad Adenauer as the first Federal Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany in 1949, contrary to a resolution by his parliamentary group, he had probably voted for Adenauer as the only opposition politician and thus helped him to obtain the required majority of 202 votes of the 402 members of the House with voting rights : “I voted for Adenauer because I couldn't have been responsible for voting no in that case. The whole shift is dizzy! "
