Julius Frey (politician)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Julius Frey (born April 5, 1895 in Gelnhausen ; † March 8, 1965 ) was the first freely elected mayor of the city of Gelnhausen after 1945.

Frey was born as the son of the businessman Friedrich Frey and Mathilde Frey. Behrens was born on April 5, 1895 in Gelnhausen. Following his school days, he first completed an apprenticeship as a locksmith, which was then followed by a commercial apprenticeship. After various frontline missions in the German Wehrmacht during the First World War, he finally took up a job at the Heraeus vacuum smelter in Hanau after the war. He worked there until 1946, only interrupted by another front-line deployment as a soldier on the Siegfried Line at the beginning of the Second World War. Most recently he held the position of head of the purchasing department there.

The CDU politician was then the city's first freely elected mayor as the successor to Ferdinand Dietz, who was initially appointed to this position by the American military government after the end of the war . His two-term term lasted from the election on March 19, 1946 to June 24, 1954.
