Karl Pfeiffer (Manager)

Karl Pfeiffer (born May 27, 1901 in Gießen ; † June 4, 1976 in Falkenstein / Taunus ) was a German manager and association politician in the construction industry.

Life

Pfeiffer studied law at the Hessian Ludwig University and became active in the Corps Hassia Gießen in 1920 . As an inactive , he moved to the Philipps University in Marburg and the Friedrich Wilhelms University in Berlin . In 1923 he was promoted to Dr. iur. PhD. Initially, he worked for two law firms in Berlin. In 1927 he became legal counsel for the Berlin construction company Julius Berger AG . From 1948 to 1966 he was a member of the board. In 1952 he was elected to the board of the Main Association of the German Construction Industry and was its President from 1961 to 1968. After his resignation as President, he was honored with an honorary membership.

At the beginning of 1965, the so-called Pfeiffer Plan was the answer to the plan for building workers to build assets by Georg Leber , the first chairman of IG Bau-Steine-Erden . Both plans differed in not insignificant points. The entrepreneurs considered it desirable to link the capital-forming contributions from employers to a certain amount of personal savings. This should give an additional liberal component to the building industry's wealth creation efforts. Both plans agreed on the fundamental question of tariff capability . This created the basis for real negotiations. In 1965, the first collective agreement in the history of the union on the creation of wealth for employees was concluded. Every construction worker who siphoned off two pfennigs from his hourly wages for capital formation received nine pfennigs from the entrepreneur.
