Life

Oskar Grünwald was already categorized as a valid Jew , but his Aryan mother Aloisia Pfitzner applied for reclassification as a mixed race after the death of his Jewish father Wilhelm Grünwald. Grünwald was one of the few cases in which this also succeeded. Grünwald studied at the University of World Trade in Vienna and received there the title business graduate and doctorate . The committed social democrat worked for Eduard März in the economics department of the Vienna Chamber of Labor , where he and Ferdinand Lacina wrote, among other things, a large study on the subject of “Foreign capital in the Austrian economy” (Europaverlag, Vienna 1970). After about 10 years in the AK, Grünwald switched full-time to ÖIAG for the rest of his professional career , where he was chairman of the board from 1978 to 1986. In contrast to his predecessor Franz Geist , who - in vain - demanded the right to issue instructions to the individual nationalized companies for the nationalized holding, Grünwald tried to get along with the limited legal role of ÖIAG. In the great crisis of the nationalized industry from 1985 to 1986 ( Intertrading scandal , Bayou debacle of VÖEST etc.) Grünwald supported Minister Lacina's reform line. Grünwald was also active in leading economic functions after the ÖIAG chairmanship was handed over to Hugo Michael Sekyra , for around 18 years as chairman of the supervisory board of OMV . He also acted as honorary professor for industrial policy at the Vienna University of Technology .
