from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Josef Rehrl (born January 7, 1895 in Salzburg ; † November 11, 1960 there ) was an Austrian civil servant and politician ( ÖVP ) and governor of Salzburg from 1947 to 1949 .

Live and act

Josef Rehrl was the brother of the former governor of Salzburg, Franz Rehrl . Like his brother, he had been a member of the K.ö.St.V. (Catholic Austrian student union) Almgau Salzburg, which he reactivated in 1916 in the middle of the war. He was also an honorary member of the Catholic student association AV Austria Innsbruck .

Rehrl was 1922-1926 member of the municipal council of the city of Salzburg and member of the Federal Council from 1945 to 1949, which he chaired as 1947 elected Governor 1948th

He became famous in 1948 with his endeavors to reintegrate the Rupertiwinkel , which had been in Bavaria since 1810 and 1816 , back into Salzburg. The former district of Berchtesgaden (with Bad Reichenhall and the surrounding area) should also be included . On this occasion he wanted to expand the Salzburger Land right up to the Traun and the Alz . A “historical break line”, which in truth never existed, should be restored. However, the population of the region was mostly negative about the whole thing and the Bavarian Prime Minister Hoegner also announced resolute resistance: "If it has to, our Bavarian farmers will defend their land with pitchforks and scythes."

After internal disputes within the ÖVP, Josef Rehrl was replaced and on December 1, 1949 Josef Klaus was elected governor with 19 out of 25 votes.

At the general assembly of the " Mozarteum Orchestra " association on July 4, 1953, he was elected president of the association.

Appreciation

The Josef Rehrl School in the former Lürzerhof in the Lehen district is named after him.
