Rudolf Hierl (politician)
Rudolf (Rudi) Josef Hierl (born March 29, 1921 in Munich ; † February 22, 2010 in Munich) was a German local politician ( CSU ).
Career
Hierl passed the master craftsman examination as a locksmith at the age of 27 . In 1959 he took over his father's steel and metal construction company founded in 1878 in Munich's Erzgießereistraße, which he sold in 1989.
His political career began in 1948 in the district committee of Maxvorstadt . Eight years later he joined the CSU. In the local elections in 1972 he was elected to the Munich City Council, of which he was a member until 2006. In his political work he saw himself as an “advocate for the common people”. Every morning he could be reached on his citizen phone between 7 and 9 a.m. and personally took care of the concerns of those seeking help.
He was a co-founder of the Munich SME Union and its chairman for decades. With his wife he founded the "Rudi and Barbara Hierl Foundation", which generously supported social institutions, including the Haunersche Children's Hospital and the kindergarten of his home parish St. Benno .
Due to his popularity, he was heaped from the hopeless list position 43 in the city council in the local elections in 2002 . At the end of 2006 he gave up the mandate for health reasons.
He was particularly concerned with spreading the Bavarian anthem . At every opportunity he distributed small pieces of paper with the text. For more than half a million cards distributed, he was entered in the Guinness Book of Records in 2001 . The "Rudi-Hierl-Ball" was held annually for the metalworkers during carnival.
