A farewell to Hans Jörg Schimanek: a life for people

Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - The freedom family in Austria is in grief for an important politician. Hans Jörg Schimanek, the first Freedom State Councilor in Lower Austria, left at the age of 85. As the FPÖ reports, Schimanek was a person who was always to the side of the population and strived in his political offices to help people. Herbert Kickl, the Federal Party chairman of the FPÖ, praised Schimanek as down -to -earth and modest, and also deepened the image of a politician who lived the principles of the proximity to the citizen before this term generally became known. His tireless efforts for justice and improvements for the community were exemplary.

a life for politics and people

born March 23, 1940 in Vienna, Schimanek began his career as a journalist before moving to politics. Between 1993 and 1999 he served as a state council in the social democratic government of Lower Austria. Even after he retreated from top politics, he remained active and was involved with his own list of Wiff (we for Floridsdorf) for important concerns in his community. In the National Council election in September 2024, he ran for the FPÖ and placed on the federal list.

Schimanek was not only active in politics, but also known for his journalistic work. In 1990 he joined the public as a member of the ORF journalistic team, where he was responsible for the program "Arguments"-a project that was awarded the Konrad Lorenz Prize. Various party affiliations have occurred over the years, starting at the SPÖ and later at the FPÖ and the BZÖ. Despite political turbulence, Schimanek remained a formative figure in Lower Austrian politics.

his sudden death leaves a gap in the political landscape and a strong legacy of commitment and service in the community, as also shows extensive reporting on his life and work, including a detailed reappraisal to Wikipedia .
