Kurt Stengel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kurt Stengel (born October 22, 1907 in Karlsruhe ; † June 20, 2001 there ) was the director of the Karlsruhe municipal utilities .

Life

Kurt Stengel passed the Abitur at the humanistic Bismarck-Gymnasium Karlsruhe in 1926 . In the summer of 1926, he did an industrial internship at the mechanical engineering company in Karlsruhe . From the winter semester of 1926/27 he studied electrical engineering at the Technical University of Karlsruhe and graduated as a graduate engineer in the summer of 1932. During his studies he became a member of the Corps Saxonia Karlsruhe .

Due to the difficult labor market situation, Stengel bridged that time with an unpaid half-day job as an assistant at the chair for electrical engineering. In November 1932 he decided to undertake a three-year training activity at the Reichsbahn as a Reichsbahn construction manager and then take an exam as a government master builder. Now, in January 1936, there was the opportunity to work at the Reich Aviation Ministry in Berlin. In 1937 he was employed by the city of Karlsruhe as a building officer for the municipal utilities. However, it was interrupted after just under a year due to the outbreak of World War II and he was called up to the air intelligence force.

In 1946 the public utility company was able to resume. First, the tram was rebuilt and in 1953 he was appointed city councilor, in 1957 he was appointed chief operations manager of the Albtalbahn and city planning director, and in 1960 authorized signatory of the newly founded Albtal-Verkehrs-Gesellschaft . In 1966, Stengel was appointed head of the municipal utility. He thus had the ultimate responsibility for the entire electricity, gas and water supply of the city, for the transport companies and for the Rhine ports as well as for the Alb Valley Railway. He retired in 1974 and was adopted by a delegation from Karlsruhe in January 1975.
