Rudolf Amelunxen

Amelunxen in 1954

Rudolf Amelunxen (June 30, 1888 – April 21, 1969) was a German politician of the Zentrum and the first Minister-President of North Rhine-Westphalia (1946/47). He was born in Cologne and died in Düsseldorf.

From 1926 to 1932 he was the regional president of the Westphalian Münster Region, however, furloughed after the Putsch in Prussia. On 5 July 1945 the British military government appointed him upper president of the Province of Westphalia, an office he held until Westphalia merged in North Rhine-Westphalia in 1946.
