Josef Taus is an Austrian industrial manager and former politician of the Austrian People's Party (ÖVP).

Background

Josef Taus comes from a humble background, was socialized as a Catholic during World War 2 and received his academic education as a working student. Even before completing his law studies at the University of Vienna, Taus worked as a business editor for the Wiener Zeitung, was involved in the Christian-social labor organization ÖAAB and wrote speeches for the Finance ministers Eduard Heilingsetzer and Josef Klaus.

After completing his studies, he began studying at the Institute for Social Policy and Social Reform, the later Dr. Karl Kummer Institute, where he also met his then mentor, the social politician and philosopher Karl Lugmayer. Taus himself was chairman of the Dr. Karl Kummer Institute for many years afterwards.

Politics

In the Josef Klaus government (1966-67) Taus was State Secretary for Transport and Nationalized Industry. Taus, who was also respected by the political opponent SPÖ, held similar positions chancellorship of Bruno Kreisky. From 1968 to 1975 he was Chairman of the Board of the the bank Girozentrale der österreichischen Sparkassen, where he had previously held top positions.

From 1975 to 1979 he was federal party chairman of the Austrian People's Party, from 1975 to 1991 deputy to the National Council and economic expert of the ÖVP. On January 17, 1978, he took over from Stephan Koren, alongside the managing chairman Alois Mock, the position of chairman of the ÖVP parliamentary section, which he completely handed over to Mock on July 7, 1979.[1] In the National Council elections in Austria in 1975[2] and 1979, he ran as an ÖVP federal party chairman with the intention of replacing Bruno Kreisky as Federal Chancellor.[3]

Career after politics

Taus subsequently worked for several years in top positions at Constantia Industrieholding AG, founded by industrialist Herbert Turnauer in 1969. The restructuring of KTM AG failed at the end of the 1980s and there was a acrimonious separation from Turnauer. In 1989, Taus left the Turnauer Group together with his fellow Board members Manfred Leeb and Herbert W. Liaunig. With the newly founded Management Trust Holding AG (MTH), they wanted to build up an Austrian private group and buy troubled companies.

Since then, Taus increasingly withdrew from politics. His involvement in Eastern European mobile phone companies together with Martin Schlaff since 2002 (Mobiltel Bulgaria) became internationally known especially in 2005 when Serbia imposed state sanctions against Mobtel.[4]

He is a member of the Catholic student associations K.A.V. Bajuvaria Wien (since 1951) and K.Ö.H.V. Nordgau Wien (since 1963).[5]
