Theodor Körner (September 26, 1941 – August 31, 2018) was a German administrative lawyer and local politician (CSU). From 1989 to 2002, he was district administrator of the district of Aichach-Friedberg.
Biography edit
After graduating from high school in 1962, he studied law at the University of Munich. He passed the first state law examination in 1968 and the second in 1971. From 1973 he worked in the civil service.[1] He acquired his doctorate in 1977.
From 1980, he worked as an administrative director and personal assistant to Franz Heubl, the president of the state parliament.[2] In 1982 he became head of department at the Bavarian School of Administration. He was also a lecturer at the Bavarian Civil Service College and the College of Administration until 1989.
In March 1989, he was elected to succeed Josef Bestler, whose deputy he had been from 1984, in the office of district administrator of the Aichach-Friedberg district, which assumed on July 1 of the same year.[3] During his term of office, the Wittelsbacher Land e. V. was founded in order to be able to access European funding from the LEADER program for rural areas on the one hand and to promote direct marketing of agriculture in the district of Aichach-Friedberg on the other. His term of office was marked by challenges such as landfills and the construction of the waste recycling plant. Successor solutions were found for the cuts in the hospital landscape (closure of Aindling and Mering). The Edith Stein School (special education center) in Aichach was built during his term of office. He left office on April 30, 2002.[4]
Since his admission to the bar in July 2003, he worked as a lawyer. He was a partner in a law firm based in Aichach.
In September 2011, he was awarded the honorary title of "Altlandrat" by the district council of the Aichach-Friedberg district. The town of Friedberg awarded him honorary citizenship in 2016.[5]
On October 19, 2015, he received the papal cross of honor "Pro Ecclesia et Pontifice" from Pope Francis and from the hands of diocesan bishop Konrad Zdarsa.
Körner was married and had a son. He died on August 31, 2018, at the age of 76.
