Ludwig Rinderer

Ludwig Albert Rinderer (born August 21, 1876 in Le Locle , Swiss Confederation , † November 14, 1941 in Dornbirn ) was an Austrian politician ( VF ) during the time of the Austro-Fascist corporate state . Rinderer was mayor of the city of Dornbirn in the state of Vorarlberg from 1934 until the National Socialists came to power in 1938 .

Live and act

Ludwig Rinderer was born on August 21, 1876 as the son of the Ludescher mason Mathias Rinderer and his Swiss wife Albertina (née Maier) in Le Locle in the Swiss canton of Neuchâtel . The family subsequently lived in the Vorarlberg Walgau community of Ludesch, from which Rinderer's father came. In 1911 Ludwig Rinderer moved to the city of Dornbirn, where he subsequently became city secretary. On August 12, 1912, he married Maria Theresia Gorbach from Kennelbach in Bregenz .

When the previous mayor of Dornbirn, Josef Rüf, died on January 4, 1934, the state government of Ender VII, now organized as a corporate state, took advantage of the opportunity to redesign the political landscape of the country's largest city. After the Social Democratic Workers' Party had been banned on February 12, two days later, on February 14, 1934, the Christian-social members of the city council resigned. Thus, more than half of the seats in the city council were vacant, which, according to the legal situation at the time, also resulted in the expiry of the remaining mandates. The Vorarlberg state government then did not appoint the previous deputy mayor Albert Winsauer, but city secretary Ludwig Rinderer as government commissioner for the administration of the city.

As a government commissioner, Ludwig Rinderer was subsequently a decision-making, administrative and executive body. The eleven-member advisory board attached to him only had an advisory function. On December 15, 1934, the new “Community Day”, composed according to corporate state criteria, was constituted, whose 26 members were proposed by the Fatherland Front and appointed by Governor Ernst Winsauer . This community day, which was not democratically elected, unanimously elected Ludwig Rinderer as mayor in its constituent meeting.

When the National Socialists came to power with the annexation of Austria to the German Reich , the National Socialist Paul Waibel was appointed provisional mayor on March 13, 1938 . At his inauguration, Waibel found words of praise for his predecessor Ludwig Rinderer.
