Rudolf Hanauer (1975)

Rudolf Hanauer (born March 4, 1908 in Mellrichstadt / Lower Franconia , † December 29, 1992 in Herrsching am Ammersee ) was a German politician ( CSU ). From 1960 to 1978 he was President of the Bavarian State Parliament .

Life

After graduating from high school in 1927 at the humanistic grammar school in Straubing , Hanauer began studying law and political science at the Ludwig Maximilians University in Munich , which he completed in 1931 with the first state examination in law. After completing his legal clerkship , he passed the Great State Examination in 1934 and settled as a lawyer in Munich on April 1, 1935 . From 1940 to 1945 Hanauer participated in the Second World War as a soldier in the intelligence service .

After the war Hanauer resumed his legal practice and began his political career at the same time. In 1946 he was appointed to the board of the CSU district association Starnberg, which he had co-founded shortly before. In the same year he was elected to the district council of the Starnberg district. From 1948 to 1954 he was also a member of Herrsching's municipal council .

In 1954 Rudolf Hanauer was elected to the Bavarian State Parliament and its President on January 27, 1960. He remained in this office until he left after the state elections in 1978. His predecessor as state parliament president was Hans Ehard , his successor Franz Heubl . Hanauer is considered to be the founder of the Bavarian Constitutional Medal , which was elevated to the rank of an order by law in 2011.

At the beginning of the 1960s, Hanauer represented one of three lawyers for the former NS mayor of Munich, Karl Fiehler, before the Munich Administrative Court and later before the Bavarian Administrative Court . Fiehler, who was only granted the remuneration of an administrative senior secretary, had filed a lawsuit against this decision and the pension of a Lord Mayor a. D. demanded. Hanauer took the view in court that Fiehler had been democratically elected mayor of Munich in 1933. He also described Karl Fiehler, who had already joined the NSDAP as member No. 37 in 1923 and had taken part in the march to the Feldherrnhalle , as an impeccable anti-fascist who would have been close to the circle around Carl Friedrich Goerdeler . When the Bavarian SPD publicly reprimanded the use of its state parliament president as a lawyer, Hanauer claimed that he had resigned his mandate in this matter. The rubrum of the verdict with which the Bavarian Administrative Court dismissed Fiehler's complaint, however, shows that the former Nazi mayor was represented by Rudolf Hanauer in the second instance.

Rudolf Hanauer was also involved in the Bavarian casino affair.
