Max Becker (May 25, 1888 – July 29, 1960) was a German politician of the Free Democratic Party (FDP) and former member of the German Bundestag.[1]
After graduating from high school, Becker studied economics and law at the universities of Grenoble, Berlin, Halle (Saale), and Marburg, and settled in Bad Hersfeld in 1913 as a lawyer and notary. He fought in the First World War with the Imperial German Army. After the war, he resumed the practice of law. During the Weimar Republic, Becker became a member of the German People's Party. He served on the city council in Bad Hersfeld and, from 1919 to 1921, also was a member of the district council in the Hersfeld district. From 1922 to 1933, he was a member of the regional assembly of Kurhessen and the provincial parliament of the Prussian Province of Hesse-Nassau. From 1928, he started his own law practice in Bad Hersfeld and worked there throughout the Nazi regime.[2]
After the end of the Second World War in 1945, Becker again became a member of the municipal council of Bad Hersfeld, and in 1946, he was again elected to the district council of the Hersfeld district. Becker was a member of the Landtag of Hesse from 1946 to 1949. He was a member of the parliamentary council in 1948/49, where he was secretary and chairman of the Committee on Electoral Law. He was a member of the German Bundestag from its first election in 1949 until his death.
