Karl Steinocher (born January 19, 1920 in Bischofshofen ; † May 30, 2013 in Salzburg ) was an Austrian politician ( SPÖ ).

Life

Steinocher is the youngest of three sons of the railway worker, trade unionist and KPÖ member Karl Steinocher (1894–1945) and his wife Therese, née Bruckbauer († 1990 in Salzburg). During the Nazi era, his father was sentenced to seven years in prison for preparation for high treason and died on May 16, 1945 as a result of his imprisonment.

Steinocher attended elementary school in Bischofshofen and completed a commercial apprenticeship from 1935 to 1938. From 1938 to 1940 he worked as a dispatcher and training officer for the Deutsche Reichsbahn . In 1940 he was drafted into the German armed forces. In the spring of 1945 he deserted and stayed in hiding in Salzburg until the end of the war. After the end of the Second World War , he was a training officer for the ÖBB from 1945 to 1957 . In 1949 he became a full member of the Salzburg Chamber of Labor and in 1956 elected its vice-president; from 1965 to 1966 he was its president.

In 1953 he was elected to the Salzburg City Council, of which he was a member until 1957. He was a member of the Federal Council from May 1957 to July 1959. From 1959 to 1974 he was a Member of the Salzburg Parliament and 1966-1976 Governor -Stellvertreter.

On the occasion of his 90th birthday in 2010, Gabi Burgstaller praised Steinocher as a “social democratic veteran”. He had "shaped the history of the Salzburg SPÖ in the decades of the post-war period".

The Karl Steinocher Fund, which was founded in 1978 and houses and looks after an archive for the history of the Salzburg labor movement, is named after him.
