Provincial Council (Lippe)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

From 1945 to 1946, the regional council was an appointed advisory body in Lippe . He was the forerunner of the Appointed Landtag .

After the Second World War , Lippe was part of the British zone of occupation. The British military government continued Henry Drake , a country as president. On May 10, 1945, he issued a “Provisional Order for the Administration of the Lippe Land”. Point 4 of this regulation stipulated that a regional council was to be set up with which it was to discuss all fundamental and general questions. This should consist of four mayors, four representatives from agriculture and four representatives from trade. Half of the last two groups should be employees. From June to August 1945 he discussed various name proposals with the military government. With the consent of the military government, the following persons were appointed:
