Johannes Büll

Johannes Büll (born November 8, 1878 in Hamburg ; † February 20, 1970 there ) was a Hamburg politician of the United Liberals , the German Democratic Party (DDP) and the FDP .

Life and work

Büll was a full-time tobacco merchant. The Johannes-Büll-Weg in Hamburg-Hummelsbüttel is named after him.

Political party

After he had belonged to the Progressive People's Party in the Empire , Büll participated in the founding of the DDP in 1918 , in which he was chairman of the Eilbeck branch .

Johannes Büll joined the Bund Free Hamburg in July 1945 , from whose midst the Free Democrats Party , later the Hamburg regional association of the FDP , was founded. Until July 1946 he took over the post of deputy chairman and from then on he was a member of the state executive committee. At the state party conference on January 21, 1950, he competed against Willy Max Rademacher for the office of state chairman, but lost against the incumbent with 116 to 154 votes. He then ran for the office of deputy state chairman and was able to prevail in this election with 156 to 113 votes against Edgar Engelhard .

MP

Büll was first elected to the Hamburg parliament in 1910 , where he joined the United Liberals of Carl Wilhelm Petersen . After he had been a member of the state parliament without interruption, he was also elected to the first citizenship after the First World War in 1919 .

On February 6, 1924, he moved to the Reichstag for Petersen, who had left the Reichstag on January 30, 1924 . In 1924 he renounced his citizenship mandate. In the Reichstag election of May 4, 1924 , he was elected to the Reichstag , as well as in the Reichstag election of December 7, 1924 and the list of Reichstag members of the Weimar Republic (4th electoral period) #B of May 20, 1928 . Before the Reichstag elections in 1930 , there was increasing criticism of his parliamentary work, as he had not gotten beyond a backbencher in the Reichstag. The Vice President of the Hamburg Citizenship Heinrich Landahl then announced that he would apply for the top candidate. Ultimately, Gustav Stolper, the economic expert of the German State Party, was appointed, whom the Reich Executive Board wanted to put on a safe list.

At the beginning of 1946 the FDP proposed Büll for the citizenship to be appointed by the British occupying power ; However, this instead appointed the economic expert Eduard Wilkening as FDP representative alongside Christian Koch , Willy Max Rademacher and Adolf Rieckhoff ; other liberal politicians were named on the basis of the proposals made by the freelancers and women's organizations. In the general election on October 13, 1946 , Büll ran unsuccessfully in the Walddörfer constituency . In the general election on October 16, 1949 , he was elected to the Hamburg parliament. On September 7, 1949, he opened the first session of the German Federal Council as senior president . On December 31, 1957, he resigned his mandate for reasons of age.

Public offices

Büll was twice Senator for the city of Hamburg in the post-war period . From November 15, 1946 until his resignation on November 1, 1949, he was first Senator of the Housing Office in Max Brauer's Senate and, from July 3, 1947, together with Paul Nevermann, Senator of the Building Authority. On November 1, 1949, Büll resigned from his office. From November 1, 1953, he was again a building senator in the Hamburg Block Senate under Kurt Sieveking . When an SPD / FDP coalition under Max Brauer ( Senate Brauer III ) was formed after the mayor elections on November 10, 1957 , he resigned from the state government for reasons of age.

The responsibility for waste disposal fell into his department. Young Democrats launched the nickname Müll-Büll ; Büll took over this later.

He received the Mayor Stolten Medal on November 8, 1953, in particular for his services to the reconstruction of the city of Hamburg.
