Life

Max Lehner was born in Freising in 1906, attended the Dom-Gymnasium here and studied law. In 1932 he opened his own law firm in Freising. Lehner was the victim of persecution during the Reichspogromnacht . Although he was not a Jew himself and never appeared as an opponent of the NSDAP , he was beaten and driven through the city with a sign that read "Juda verrecke". He was accused of being Jewish because he represented Jews in court. His license to practice law was revoked. Lehner first went to Saxony and in 1940 to France, where he stayed until the end of the Second World War . After his return to Freising he worked as a lawyer again. From 1948 to 1970 he was Lord Mayor of Freising. The reconstruction of the city is one of his achievements. In 1959, Lehner also founded the “Freisinger Stadtwerke”. In 1970, the party-free Max Lehner resigned as Lord Mayor. In 1975 he died in Freising. A street was named after him near the Freising train station.
