Hans Ferlitsch

Hans Maximillion Ferlitsch (born August 19, 1946) Was the 37th Municipality Association President and Mayor of St. Stefan, Austria serving from 1993-2003. He has served five terms as the governor of St. Stefan and is currently Vice-President of the Social Democratic Party He may be one of the most well known mayors from Stefan for his works in the suppliance of Austria with broadband. Ferlitsch has been closely associating with the telecommunications industry for quite a while, as some had expected. This only lead to controversy over his actions, though he managed to become Vice-President in 2003. Although he was one of the municipality's youngest mayors and appeared to be a sketchy figure, he ended his term with a 92% approval rating, one of the highest in Austria's history.

Early years

Hans was the fourth child born in a family of 13 children. His only known siblings are Martin, Franz, Leiver, Frank, Maxwell, Lieptcin, and Fruer. He was raised on a farm with his parents, Greta and Michael. He attended a small school in Salzburg of 60 students. Out of his siblings, he was the brightest and most promising, and moved on to a 4-year university. From this he went on to work at Klommpen, an Austrian trade firm, where he was employed as Project manager. From then on, he was offered a job dealing with foreign affairs, as he was recognized for his speech and fluency in German and English.

Family

Frank
His brother Frank has been mentioned in many of his speeches. He died at age 14 in a tractor accident on the farm, and has been said to be a large force in Hans's hope for being a president.

Leiver
The eldest of the children, Leiver has assisted his brother in many of his transactions at Klommpen. He currently has three children, Lauren, Holly, and Jeremeiah. He lives with his wife, Laura, in the wilderness in St. Spiels, Austria.

Maxwell and Frank
Presumed dead, all that is known of them is that they were disowned after the massacre at a local bank, killing 26 people, injuring 12 more, and stealing 200,000 euro. They are thought to have fled to Germany or Switzerland.

Martin
Not much is known of his family, and nothing of significance has seemed to have been done by them. His brother Martin Ferlitsch lived in the U.S.A. and fathered 3 children. He was killed in 1999 in a car accident. His grandchild Max Ferlitsch, has been mentioned in a few of his speeches, before the olympics to reduce tension between the countries.
