Wolfgang Haussmann
Wolfgang Haußmann (born July 3, 1903 in Stuttgart ; † March 6, 1989 there ) was a Baden-Württemberg politician ( DDP , DVP , FDP ).
Life and work
Wolfgang Haußmann was the grandson of Julius Haußmann , the revolutionary of 1848, and son of Conrad Haußmann, a member of the Reichstag for the Weimar Republic . While studying law in Tübingen , he was a member of the Tübingen student association, Akademische Gesellschaft Stuttgardia, which is closely related to southern German liberalism . Here he met later political companions such as Eberhard Wildermuth , Karl Georg Pfleiderer , Konrad Wittwer , Reinhold Maier and Guntram Palm . In 1931 he settled in Stuttgart as a lawyer , in 1947 he was also appointed a notary . Together with the future Lord Mayor of Stuttgart Arnulf Klett , he founded the resistance group Rettet Stuttgart during the Nazi era .
Political party
As early as 1920, Haussmann joined the DDP , of which he had been a member of the Württemberg state executive since 1928. He was one of the co-founders of the DVP in Württemberg-Baden and was its state chairman from 1946 to 1952. After the formation of the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952, he took over the state chairmanship of the FDP / DVP until 1964 . 1956 to 1957 he was also deputy FDP federal chairman. From 1951 to 1966 he was a member of the FDP federal executive committee .
In the dispute over the direction of the FDP in the 1950s, Haussmann spoke out against the plans for a national collection, such as those pursued by the state associations of North Rhine-Westphalia , Lower Saxony and Hesse , and called for separation from the nationalists. After the formation of a coalition of FDP / DVP, SPD and BHE under Reinhold Maier in Baden-Württemberg, the Hessian FDP state association applied for Haußmann and Maier to be excluded from the party and the FDP to be separated from the DVP, but was unable to prevail. The federal main committee of the FDP was only able to bring itself to a disapproval of the coalition in the south-western state.

Wolfgang Haussmann was a member of the state council of the American occupation area . He was a member of the Provisional People's Representation for Württemberg-Baden , the Constituent State Assembly of Württemberg-Baden and the Landtag of Württemberg-Baden in both election periods from 1946 to 1952. There he was chairman of the DVP parliamentary group. From 1952 to 1964 he represented the constituency of Stuttgart I and from 1968 to 1972 the constituency of Stuttgart IV in the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg . 1952/53 he was chairman of the FDP / DVP parliamentary group in the state parliament. The respective state parliament elected him a member of the first five federal assemblies .
