Paul Sattler
Paul Sattler (* 1894 in East Prussia , † 1965 in Dortmund ) was a local SPD politician from Dortmund . In 1946 he was a co-founder (licensee) of the Westfälische Rundschau and from 1958 to 1961 General Director of the United Electricity Works Westphalia (VEW).
Political and professional career
Paul Sattler's political and professional career was closely linked. Moved from East Prussia to Westphalia as an 18-year-old, Sattler joined the SPD at an early age. He first worked in the publishing industry, before joining the municipal service in the then still independent town of Hörde in 1920 . In the mid-1920s he became a partner in the social democratic Westfälische Allgemeine Volks-Zeitung . He was banned from working by the National Socialists in 1933.
On April 14, 1945, after the invasion of the Americans, he and other former party members ensured the re-establishment of the party in Dortmund, went into local politics and became a member of the city council. On February 26, 1946, he and Heinrich Sträter and Fritz Henßler received a license from the British military government for the Westfälische Rundschau (WR), which was first published on March 20, 1946. In 1947 he took over the management of Westfaldruck GmbH, where the WR was printed.
After briefly serving as head of the city's department, he switched to VEW , a regional energy supply company that until now had been exclusively municipal sponsors (partial privatization began in 1966). Here he was general manager from 1958 to 1961.
It is a biographical side note that the banker Alfred Herrhausen , from 1985 CEO of Deutsche Bank and allegedly murdered by the RAF in 1989 , was first married to his daughter Ulla Sattler from 1953 to 1977. Their daughter Bettina was born in 1959, and a year later Herrhausen was appointed director of VEW before becoming the company's CFO in 1967. In 1969 he moved from here to Deutsche Bank.
