Josef Schnurrer

Josef Schnurrer (born August 14, 1909 ; † 1977 in Weiden in the Upper Palatinate ) was a German entrepreneur and in 1945 provisional Lord Mayor of the city of Weiden in the Upper Palatinate.

Life

Schnurrer was born the son of railway worker Ludwig Schnurrer († 1948) and his wife Margaret († 1959). He had a sister.

In 1935 he married Berta Forstmaier (1910–1995). The marriage had three children. In the mid-1930s he founded Josef Schnurrer GmbH in Weiden , a medium-sized gravel and sand extraction company that developed into a concrete plant and building materials wholesaler, primarily for civil engineering products .

After the 11th US Panzer Division marched into Weiden at the end of the Second World War and four days later on April 26, 1945, the NSDAP mayor Hans Harbauer was removed from office, the non-party Schnurrer was provisionally made head of the city until the US military government on May 22, 1945 initially appointed Franz Joseph Pfleger ( CSU ) , who was elected by the city council in 1946, as his successor.

Schnurrer was from 1966 to 1971 chairman of the social policy committee of the Bavarian stone and earth industry association.
