Bruno Pittermann (3 September 1905 – 19 September 1983) was an Austrian social democrat politician.
Early life
Pittermann was trained in geography, history, and pedagogy. In his youth, he took a job as an education expert in the Chamber of Labor in Klagenfurt. In 1934, he was fired from his job because of his membership in the Social Democratic Party of Austria. Afterwards, he joined the illegal Revolutionary Socialists of Austria [de] (RSÖ) during the Fatherland Front regime.[1] He worked as a teacher while studying for a doctorate in law. After the annexation of Austria in Nazi Germany in 1938, Pittermann was fired from his teaching position.[1]
Post-war activities
He served as both the chairman of the Social Democratic Party of Austria from 1957 to 1967, and the Vice Chancellor of Austria from 1957 to 1966. In 1966, he resigned as head of the party and was succeeded by Bruno Kreisky.[2] From 1964 to 1976, he was president of the Socialist International.
