Karl-Friedrich Binder
Karl-Friedrich Binder (born December 24, 1937 in Esslingen am Neckar ; † January 25, 2012 ) was a German local politician and Lord Mayor of Schwäbisch Hall from 1974 to 1996 .
Before his time in Schwäbisch Hall, Binder was the mayor of the municipality of Nellingen on the Fildern . After receiving 30.9% of the votes in the first ballot in the 1974 Schwäbisch Hall mayoral election with a turnout of 79.3%, the non-party member won the second ballot on March 3, 1974 with 57%. The bourgeois parties withdrew their applicants in the second ballot in order to prevent the election of the “Remstal rebel” Helmut Palmer , who surprisingly received 40.7% of the vote in the first ballot. In 1982 Binder was re-elected with 89% of the vote, in 1990 with over 95%.
During Binder's term of office, the establishment of a pedestrian zone , which was still unusual in the 1970s, and the construction of the Blendstatthalle fell. He operated exchanges with Schwäbisch Hall's twin cities, in particular with the Polish city of Zamość , a world cultural heritage site , which Binder made an honorary citizen in 1995 . Loughborough University , based in the Schwäbisch Hall twin town of Loughborough , awarded Binder an honorary doctorate in 1991 for his efforts to achieve the town twinning.
Binder's successor as Lord Mayor was Hermann-Josef Pelgrim in 1997 .
