Life

Walter Neumann studied law , did his doctorate and worked as a lawyer and notary in Bremerhaven . He was also in-house counsel for the Bremerhaven Employers' Association . Because of his marriage to a Jewish woman , he was banned from working during the Nazi era .

politics

Neumann was a member of the German Democratic Party (DDP), which in 1930 merged with the People's National Association for the German State Party (DStP) and finally dissolved in 1933. After the end of World War II , he was a member of the Advisory Committee of the US Military Government (OMGUS) in Bremerhaven in 1945 . From 1946 to 1947 he was mayor of Bremerhaven.

He joined the FDP and from 1947 to 1955 - during the 1st to 3rd electoral period after the war - belonged to the Bremen citizenship (MdBB). While the first elected citizenship was only directly elected by the population in Bremen in 1946, the Bremerhaven deputies were sent by the city ​​council in February 1947. In the course of 1947 Bremerhaven came to Bremen, which strengthened the structure of the state. Neumann and other liberals from Bremerhaven formed the group of the FDP in the Bremen citizenship, which ultimately merged in early 1951 with the Bremen Democratic People's Party (BDV), which was mainly active in the city of Bremen, to form the BDV / FDP faction. In June 1955, shortly before the end of the third electoral term, Neumann resigned from the FDP and from then on belonged to no parliamentary group.
