Max Pollwein
Max Joseph Pollwein (born May 9, 1885 in Schmidmühlen , Upper Palatinate , † April 9, 1944 in Munich ) was the first Lord Mayor of Bad Kissingen .
Life
After attending the grammar school (now Erasmus-Gymnasium ) in Amberg , he studied law at the University of Munich and received his doctorate Dr. jur. on June 19, 1911. His dissertation was entitled “The Duldungsklage with special consideration of Section 739 of the Code of Civil Procedure” (Riesbeck Verlag, Munich 1911). Two years later (1913) he completed his legal clerkship for the higher judicial and administrative service.
In 1914, Pollwein was elected as a legally qualified magistrate for the city of Amberg. On January 28, 1919, the community plenipotentiary college of Bad Kissingen appointed him the legally qualified first mayor of the city. In March 1919, Pollwein moved to the spa town. On July 27, 1919, the citizens of Bad Kissingen were allowed to elect their mayor directly for the first time in a general and secret ballot. Of 3,453 eligible voters, however, only 965 cast their vote, of which 964 voted for the incumbent mayor Pollwein. One of his special achievements in expanding the city of Bad Kissingen was his contract to build the new slaughterhouse . On December 22nd, 1927, the State Ministry of the Interior awarded Pollwein the title of Lord Mayor, just as the First Mayors have now been appointed Lord Mayors for the first time in the other towns of Bamberg , Schwandorf , Frankenthal , Selb , Neuburg an der Donau and Neu-Ulm .
On May 1, 1933 , Pollwein joined the party "at the suggestion" of the first district leader of the NSDAP in Bad Kissingen, Karl Renner . On November 9, 1933, he was sworn in by Interior Minister Adolf Wagner with other First Mayors and Lord Mayors on Munich's Königsplatz in honor of Adolf Hitler .
After more than 20 years of service, Pollwein retired at the meeting on March 9, 1939 and left the service on June 30. Local or regional party leaders of the NSDAP were not present, however. The official reason for his resignation was the result of the medical examination in which he was certified as having diabetes . His successor in office was Adalbert Wolpert . In November 1939 Pollwein moved to Munich, where he died almost five years later (1944).
Honors
