from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Willy (actually Wilhelm) Heigl (born March 25, 1904 in Dillenburg , † March 15, 1973 in Bad Wiessee ) was a Hessian politician ( SPD Hessen ) and a former member of the Hesse State Advisory Committee , a predecessor of the Hessian State Parliament .

Willy Heigl was one of six children of a brewer who immigrated from Bavaria. He did a commercial apprenticeship at Krups and joined the SPD in Weilburg. He married a Jewish woman. After the seizure of power by the Nazis, the family was victim of racial persecution. They had to move to Frankfurt am Main, where Willy Heigl was the branch manager of a printing company. His wife was put into forced labor and they lost her home. After the persecution of the Jews had turned into open mass murder, they hid in a garden shed near Butzbach and thus survived the Nazi era .

After the end of the Third Reich , Willy Heigl was mayor of the city of Weilburg from August 1, 1945 . His membership in the advisory state committee extended from February 26, 1946 to July 14, 1946. Later he was director of the lime works in Steden .
