Johannes Rieder

Johannes Rieder (born August 9, 1893 in Dreimüllerhof ; † January 22, 1956 in Adenau ) was a German administrative officer and district administrator in the Daun district .

Life

After graduating from high school in Andernach in 1913 , Rieder successfully completed a diploma course at the Agricultural University in Bonn . He then studied at Berlin law and became the Dr. phil. and Dr. iur. PhD. In 1921 he received a candidate position at the regional cultural administration in Cologne and in 1922 he became head of the cultural office in Simmern . After he was expelled by the French occupying forces in 1923, he accepted a position as a department head for viticulture at the Reich Ministry of Food and was appointed to the senior government council in 1929 . After the National Socialists came to power , he was dismissed from service for political reasons in 1933. Rieder then worked as head of the cultural department in Adenau until 1952, from where he was transferred to the Trier district government as a senior councilor and was appointed district administrator of the Daun district in the same year.

During his tenure until 1955, he mainly campaigned for the amalgamation of properties, which brought the Daun district to the top in relation to the other Eifel districts. In this context, he was also committed to improvements in the agricultural sector and in economic development . As a result of an initiative started by his predecessor as district administrator to set up local industry, which he continued in a targeted manner, two larger bread factories opened in Daun in 1953 and 1954. There was also a tar gravel plant near Waldkönigen , a mill construction company in Niederehe , another larger sawmill in Hillesheim and a factory for the manufacture of workshop and warehouse equipment in Hillesheim. Due to an illness he had to give up his post after 3 years of work. He died in 1956 during a difficult operation.
