Josef Jöhle (born September 25, 1889 in Lausheim (Stühlingen) , † September 25, 1942 in Marzell ) was a German architect , entrepreneur , National Socialist functionary and local politician . From 1935 to 1942 he was mayor of Radolfzell on Lake Constance .

Life

After primary school, Josef Jöhle completed an apprenticeship in the carpentry trade , which he completed in 1909 with the journeyman's examination. At the Badische Höhere Technische Lehranstalt, the Staatstechnikum Karlsruhe , he continued his education and worked until 1914 as a construction manager for an architect. During the First World War he was a member of a pioneer unit , was wounded several times and in 1917 dismissed with the rank of vice sergeant with several awards. In 1919 Jöhle founded the company Jos together with C. Bruno Zawatzki . Jöhle Porzellanmanufaktur Konstanz GmbH in Konstanz for the production and sale of porcelain goods ( brands "Alt-Konstanz" and "Konstanz"). The company went bankrupt and was taken over by the August Roloff porcelain manufacturer in Münster ; from 1927 to 1929 she continued the “Roloff” brand with the addition “Konstanz”. Jöhle continued to run the Konstanz porcelain painting even after 1929 ; from this also the painting Karrer emerged.

Jöhle was considered an " old fighter " (joined the party in October 1930), was a local group leader of a Konstanz NSDAP local group , since 1933 a district economic advisor and member of the NSDAP district staff and from 1934 to 1935 a councilor in Konstanz. In 1934 he succeeded Bernhard Heidinger as director of the Berliner Bank Dr. Cassirer & Co. AG in Constance. A year later, Jöhle was also commissioned to manage the Konstanz Chamber of Commerce and Industry , which was brought into line. From 1934 to 1939 he was the successor of the sports store operator Fritz Gruner, who was overwhelmed by the office, as President of the Constance branch of the Freiburg Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

From July 1935 until his death due to illness on his 53rd birthday in 1942, Jöhle was mayor of Radolfzell. The town became an SS garrison under Jöhle in 1937 and was the location of various units of the Waffen SS in the following years . Together with his friend Ludwig Finckh , Jöhle was the initiator and sponsor of the Reich Nature Conservation Area Mettnau , which was proclaimed in 1938, and the NS-ideologically oriented reconstruction of a "Stone Age settlement" under the direction of Hans Reinerth , which was inaugurated in the same year .

Jöhle, whose successor in office in Radolfzell was the acting mayor August Kratt , was buried in the Stühlingen cemetery in 1942. The posthumous judicial chamber proceedings ended in 1948 at the expense of the widow, Anna Jöhle, with Jöhle's classification in Group III of the “less burdened”; Anna Jöhle's widow's pension was subsequently reduced by 20%.
