Rudolf Ross
Rudolf Adolf Wilhelm Roß (born March 22, 1872 in Hamburg ; † February 16, 1951 there ) was a Hamburg teacher, politician and the first social democratic First Mayor in Hamburg from 1930 to 1931.
Life
Rudolf Roß became a teacher at the elementary school in Poolstrasse 5 in Hamburg's Neustadt district in 1892 . From 1915 to 1918 he participated in the First World War. In 1919 he was elected to the Hamburg parliament for the SPD , of which he was a member until 1933. From 1920 to 1928 he was president of the city council; From 1919 to 1928 Roß was also director of the Hamburg Adult Education Center, founded in 1919 .
On April 5, 1928, Ross was appointed to the Senate , to which he belonged until he resigned in protest on March 3, 1933. The SPD parliamentary group had agreed to a rotation agreement with the German Democratic Party parliamentary group , so Roß was second mayor in 1928, 1929, 1932 and 1933 and thus deputy to Carl Wilhelm Petersen from January 1, 1930 to December 31, 1931 conversely, Petersen was Deputy Roß as First Mayor. Since his term of office fell during the time of the global economic crisis , Roß had hardly any design options: He had to cut expenses, although he knew about the devastating effects of these measures at that time.
Rudolf Roß was buried in the Bergstedt cemetery in Hamburg.
