Otto Heller (Consul General)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Otto Heller (* 1911 , † 25. March 2004 ) was for decades Austria's fee - Consul General in Sao Paulo , Brazil and supervised this honorary post in addition to his professional activities

Heller left Austria in 1934 for political reasons.

He was a contemporary witness for Brazil's initiatives to contribute to the conclusion of the Austrian State Treaty , which took place in 1955.

On May 16, 1974, he brought out the Viena gloriosa exhibition of the Vienna Tourist Association , designed by the Viennese architect Franz Requat, in São Paulo , which was held at the same time as the Austria creativa exhibition of the Federal Chamber of Commerce on Praça Roosevelt in the center of the city. (Vienna means Viena in Portuguese, not Vienna.) The exhibition was opened by Vice Mayor Hubert Pfoch .

In the 1990s he resigned as consul general. The ÖVP MP Herbert Schambeck gave a possible reason for this in the Federal Council on October 17, 1996 .
