Josef Stöckler (born June 8, 1866 in St. Valentin , Lower Austria ; † December 9, 1936 there ) was an Austrian politician ( CSP ).

Life

Josef Stöckler first attended the six-class elementary school in his home town of St. Valentin. At the age of 16, Stöckler had to take over his father's farm in 1882. In 1896 the farm also became his property.

Stöckler held his first political mandate from 1894, when he was elected to the St. Valentin municipal council . In 1902 he moved to the Lower Austrian state parliament as a member of the CSP , to which he was to belong until 1908. He then served as a member of the Reichsrat from 1908 to 1918 . In 1906 Stöckler was elected vice-president of the regional culture council and chairman of the Wienerwalder farmers' association. Also in 1906, Stöckler was one of the founding members of the Lower Austrian Farmers' Union , of which he was chairman until 1927.

In October 1918, Stöckler entered the Constituent National Assembly of the National Council as a member of the CSP . In the same month he was sworn in as State Secretary for Agriculture in the government of State Chancellor Karl Renner (see State Government Renner I and Renner II ). Among other things, his tasks included the restructuring of Austrian agriculture, which lay fallow after the abandonment of the now Hungarian cultivation areas. On July 7, 1920, when the Renner III state government resigned, Stöckler resigned as State Secretary.

After nine years as a member of the National Council, Stöckler entered the Federal Council in May 1927 . From December 1930 to May 1931 he held the office of Federal Council President . Three years later, in May 1934, he suspended his Federal Council mandate.
