Hans-Christoph Seebohm

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans-Christoph Seebohm (b. 4 August 1903 in Emanuelssegen, Upper Silesia; died 17 September 1967 in Bonn) was a German politician (Deutsche Partei and CDU).

He was a member of Lower Saxony's Landtag from 1946 until 1951, and from 1949 until his death he was a member of the Bundestag for the constituency of Harburg. From 1946 until 1948 he held the office of Minister for Reconstruction, Labour and Health in Hinrich Wilhelm Kopf's Lower Saxon state government. From 20 September 1949 until 30 November 1966 he served as Federal Minister for Transport, firstly under Chancellor Konrad Adenauer, then under Ludwig Erhard, under whom he ultimately, but briefly, served as Vice-Chancellor. When the Grand Coalition took office, he left the cabinet, having served as a federal minister for seventeen years, a record beaten only by Hans-Dietrich Genscher of the FDP.
