Otto Bärnreuther
Otto Bärnreuther (born August 27, 1908 in Nuremberg ; † September 21, 1957 there ) was a German politician ( SPD ).
Life
education
Otto Bärnreuther was the son of an iron turner in Nuremberg . He first attended elementary school and then the municipal higher commercial school, where he passed the final examination.
In 1928 Bärnreuther began his professional career as a civil servant candidate at the Stadtsparkasse in Nuremberg. In 1932 he passed the examination for the higher state and municipal administration service at the Bavarian Administration School. He initially worked as a commercial clerk and later worked as a city council assistant in Nuremberg.
Act
In 1934 he, who had been a member of the Free Employees' Union since 1925 and the SPD in 1927 , was dismissed from administrative service for political reasons. Until 1940 he worked as a freelance trader. In 1940 he was drafted into the Wehrmacht, but released after being wounded on the Eastern Front for alleged political unreliability. From 1942 to 1944 he worked as head of financial and operational accounting in a factory, and later as an auditor.
After the Second World War he was one of the founders of the Nuremberg SPD and during this time also became director of the Stadtsparkasse. He was a member of the city council of Nuremberg from 1946 to 1952 and served as mayor of the city from 1952 until his death .
Whether the reconstruction of the new town hall, the exhibition hall, the Nuremberg airport, the Church of St. Lawrence and the Church of St. Lorenz, the building of the Plärrer high-rise or the organization of the motorcycle race at the Norisring: the city and the Nuremberg SPD owe a lot to Otto Bärnreuther. That is why he is seen today as one of the fathers of the reconstruction and subsequent economic development of the city of Nuremberg after the Second World War.
The University of Economics and Social Sciences awarded Bärnreuther an honorary doctorate in 1955. When he unexpectedly died of a heart attack on September 21, 1957, he was only 49 years old.
