from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Stephan Tull (born August 20, 1922 in Zrenjanin ( German  Groß-Betschkerek ), Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes ; † December 4, 2009 in Vöcklabruck , Upper Austria ) was an Austrian politician ( SPÖ ) and Senate Councilor.

education and profession

Tull was born as the son of a master mason in a Danube Swabian family. He attended elementary school in Groß-Betschkerek and then switched to a commercial school and subsequently to a business school. During the Second World War, like most ethnic Germans of military age, he was drafted into the Waffen SS . As a leading functionary of the German student body of the Banate , however, he managed to get off duty and go to Tull in Austria and study law and world trade in Vienna. At the end of the war, he went to Upper Austria, where the Americans marched in in May 1945. With the mediation of Ernst Koref , the first post-war mayor of Linz, he quickly succeeded in obtaining his personal denazification . He joined the SPÖ , became a member of the Socialist Academic Association and continued his studies. In addition, he took a position as a magistrate's official in Linz and shortly afterwards was even appointed head of the denazification office in Linz. In 1948, Tull completed his studies with a doctorate in political science. After his political career, Tull received his doctorate in political science from the University of Salzburg Sub auspiciis praesidentis in 1988 .

As a state official, Tull worked for the control office until 1962 and was retired as a Senate Councilor in 1982.

politics

Tull represented the SPÖ in the Eferding municipal council, and was subsequently a councilor in Wels and later in Vöcklabruck. Between 1955 and 1962 Tull was also a member of the Upper Austrian Landtag, and from December 14, 1962 he represented the SPÖ in the National Council. In the National Council, Tull acted as chairman of the finance and budget committee, he was also chairman of the main committee, the audit committee and the constitutional committee.

Within the party, Tull was active in the state party leadership and until 1973 in the state party executive, in 1979 he resigned from the federal party executive. After Tull came into conflict with the local officials in Vöcklabruck, he was ranked from 2nd to 7th place in the municipal council elections and was due to leave the council on April 30, 1980. After Tull refused and sued his party colleagues, the SPÖ City Committee Vöcklabruck applied for his party expulsion on April 14, 1980 with 42: 0 votes. While his dismissal as SPÖ district party leader failed, the SPÖ Upper Austria decided to expel the party. The arbitration tribunal of the Federal SPÖ did not confirm the exclusion from the party, but imposed a five-year ban on Tull, who then left the SPÖ and left the SPÖ club on October 23, 1980. He was then a non-attached member of the National Council until May 18, 1983. In 1982 he tried to found a "Green Reform Party" or a "Green Union", but played no role in the later Green parties.

Tull was the authorized representative and spokesman for the Dichterstein Offenhausen Association , which was dissolved by the Ministry of the Interior in 1999 due to re-activation by the National Socialists.
