Max Ganschow (born October 23, 1909 in Charlottenburg near Berlin , † December 31, 1966 in Berlin) was a German politician ( SPD ).

Max Ganschow attended elementary school and did an apprenticeship as a shoemaker , which he completed in 1928 with the journeyman's examination. In 1929 he became a conductor and train handler for the Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe (BVG). With the " seizure of power " by the National Socialists in 1933, he was dismissed for political reasons and remained unemployed. From 1937 he was able to work as a fitter and foreman at Siemens-Schuckertwerke in Berlin.

After the Second World War , Ganschow initially worked as an administrative employee in the Charlottenburg district office , but in the first Berlin election in 1946 he was elected to the city ​​council of Greater Berlin and a little later by the district council of Charlottenburg to the district council for nutrition. From 1946 to 1956 Ganschow was chairman of the SPD Charlottenburg. In the following election in 1948 he was re-elected to the city council, but left in February 1949 because he was still a district councilor. Ganschow was a district councilor in various departments in Charlottenburg for 17 years, and in 1963 he resigned from office.
