Hans Schuberth (April 5, 1897 in Schwabach – September 2, 1976 in Munich) was a German politician who from 1949 to 1953 was the first Federal Minister of Post and Telecommunications in Konrad Adenauer's first cabinet.
In 1934 he was forcibly transferred to the Reich Central Post Office in Berlin and, since he refused to join the Nazi party, no longer promoted.
After the general election in 1949 he was appointed on 20 September 1949 as the Federal Minister for Post and Telecommunications in the first cabinet of Konrad Adenauer.
[1] After the parliamentary elections of 1953, he retired under the pretext of sectarian proportional representation in the Cabinet at the request of Adenauer, who wanted above all to weaken the CSU, before the appointment of his successor in office the Protestant Siegfried Balke on 9 December 1953 to the Federal Government.
In 1957 he brought together with other members of parliament from CSU and DP a bill to repeal Article 102 of the Basic Law, to reintroduce the death penalty with the objective of which, however, never came to a vote.
