Norbert Ley

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Norbert Ley (born August 24, 1903 in Letmathe , today Iserlohns district ; † August 23, 1983 in Düsseldorf ) was a German economist and head of the North Rhine-Westphalian state planning authority from 1953 to 1968.

Life

From 1924 Norbert Ley studied economics. After graduating from the University of Münster with a degree in economics in 1928 , Ley worked as an assistant (1929–1934) at the German Research Institute for Agriculture and Settlement in Rostock, a branch of the Max Sering Institute of the same name in Berlin. In 1931 Ley received his doctorate from the University of Rostock . The agricultural sociologist Ulrich Planck reported on Ley's activities during this time:

“Under the aspect of the settlement, from 1930-33 Hans-Jürgen Seraphim and his colleagues Hellmut Wollenweber , Norbert Ley and the sociologist Hans Weigmann devoted themselves to the agricultural worker problem, although - as in agricultural worker research under Richard Ehrenberg - the individual farm and the individual family were the subject of research and not the social system of the village. "

In 1934/35 Ley was the head of the statistical office at the Stettin provincial administration as well as an employee of the Pomeranian regional economic advisor, Ernst Jarmer . Then Ley switched to the company for the preparation of the Reichsautobahn ("Gezuvor") as a clerk. In this capacity, Ley was also employed by the Reich Office for Spatial Planning . From 1937 Ley worked for the Rhineland State Planning Association. There he was head of the economic department of the main office. From 1939 Ley was the permanent representative of the regional planner of the Rhine Province. From 1940 his function was: Provincial Administrative Councilor and Deputy General Advisor for Spatial Planning to the Upper President as the planning authority of the Rhine Province (see also Heinrich Haake ). The " German Academy for Urban Development, National and State Planning " appointed Norbert Ley a full member in 1942.

At the end of the 1940s, Norbert Ley joined the state planning authority of North Rhine-Westphalia, which was based at the Prime Minister . In July 1951, Norbert Ley became a member of the " special committee (formed) under the chairmanship of Josef Umlauf (...), which worked out a memorandum on" terms and guidelines "for regional planning in the Federal Republic until 1953. "

After Stephan Prager resigned from the position of head of the state planning authority of North Rhine-Westphalia in 1953 for reasons of age, Norbert Ley became his successor. Ley held the position of ministerial director. In addition, Ley was a lecturer from 1958 and from 1964 honorary professor for planning at the University of Cologne .

Ley held various functions at the Academy for Spatial Research and Regional Planning . In 1959 he was made a full member. As early as 1961 (until 1968) Ley was a member of the ARL Board of Trustees. Ley was a member of the ARL specialist committees “Fundamental issues of spatial research and regional development” and “Space and energy”. He was also part of the ARL working group "Locations and routes for energy systems". From 1966 to 1970 Ley was not only vice-president of the ARL, but he also chaired the ARL state working group in North Rhine-Westphalia (1960 to 1972).
