Max Stromeyer (born May 6, 1830 in Konstanz ; † March 17, 1902 there ) was Lord Mayor of the city of Konstanz from 1866 to 1877 .

Life

Maximilian Karl Matthäus Stromeyer, formerly the foundation administrator, was elected mayor of Konstanz on October 11, 1866. As a liberal, he significantly supported the reform and modernization policy. There was a building boom during his tenure; among other things, the Konstanzer Seestrasse and the harbor were built. The railway lines Konstanz-Romanshorn (1871) and Konstanz-Winterthur (1875) were opened. During his tenure in 1868 Konstanz became the site of the garrison of the 6th bath. Inf.-Regiment No. 114. In 1875 the Inselhotel opened within the medieval walls on the Dominican Island .

In his role as (Catholic) mayor, Stromeyer was a member of the Catholic Foundation Commissions in Constance. Since he did not fulfill his function in the sense of the Archbishop's Ordinariate in Freiburg and as a result schools and foundations, in particular the wealthy Konstanz Hospital Foundation, were withdrawn from Catholic sponsorship, there was a public dispute of nationwide attention, especially with the diocese administrator Lothar von Kübel . The background to this was the reorganization of the Foundation Act 1870 on the administration of secular Catholic foundation assets. With a resolution of February 14, 1869 of the Archbishop's Chapter Vicariate from Freiburg, he was excluded from the “church community rights and the reception of the Holy Sacraments” (minor excommunication). A criminal case was conducted by the Baden state authorities, but no clear judgment was given in the dispute.

On April 4, 1877 Otto Winterer was elected by the Citizens' Committee of the City of Constance as the successor to the resigned Max Stromeyer as the new Lord Mayor.

Commemoration

Stromeyer was a co-founder of the Association for the History of Lake Constance and its Surroundings and the Constance Masonic Lodge.

He is the namesake of Max-Stromeyer-Straße in Konstanz. His grave is in the main cemetery in Konstanz .
