Life and work

After attending elementary school, Feitenhansl graduated from an agricultural school in Eger and then initially worked as an auxiliary gardener.

After the war, he fled to Bavaria in 1946 and worked as an estate manager and inspector. In the 1960s, he was in charge of agricultural testing at the Institute for Agriculture and Plant Breeding in Rohrbach.

politics

In the spring of 1949 Feitenhansl founded the Fatherland Union , which received a license for the area of ​​the city of Munich , and became its chairman. From the beginning, he and his party attracted attention with extremely nationalist statements, which led to protests from other parties. In October and November 1949, several of his events had to be canceled or ended because there were counter-demonstrations. At the beginning of 1950 he was temporarily banned from any political activity by the Munich Spruchkammer because he had been active as a neo-fascist. He was arrested for four days on June 19, 1950 for violating the ban, but was then released subject to conditions. In the federal elections in 1953 and 1957 , he ran unsuccessfully for VU. In March 1966 he transferred the VU to the NPD , for which he was a member of the Bavarian state parliament from 1966 to 1970 and whose federal manager he was until the 1970s. In 1984 he took part in the Munich citizens' initiative to stop foreigners, which was founded by the NPD to participate in the city council elections of that year .
