Victor-Emanuel Preusker (25 February 1913 – 13 May 1991) was a German politician who served as Federal Minister for Housing of West Germany from 1953 to 1957.

Preusker was born in the German Empire, and studied economics, eventually achieving Dr. rer.

His term was dominated by the spike in need of housing after millions of East German refugees migrated to the country.

[9] After it was superseded in importance by the SS he joined the paramilitary organization from May to July 1933 and again from 1 February 1934 until the end of the war.

[7] He took part in World War II as an Leutnant in the Luftwaffe, and then as an air traffic controller for Kommando Nowotny which worked with Messerschmitt Me 262s.

[14] The Stasi would later investigate him in an attempt to weaken West Germany, digging up most information about him which the Berlin Federal Archives later verified as true.

[8] Immediately after the war he founded a wood processing company in Rotenburg an der Fulda.

[7] He proposed the so-called "Preusker Plan" in 1953, which was approved by then Minister for Economics Ludwig Erhard.

[27] The program provided for, among things, a reduction in food goods through the conclusion of additional trade agreements, tax cuts to reduce beverage costs, a financing program for used cars to promote motor vehicle production, and freedom of transfer for foreign capital after the London Debt Agreement was concluded.

[28] Previously, he was heavily considered for the role of Federal Minister for Housing in 1952 after Hermann-Eberhard Wildermuth's passing, but the Gehlen Organization did wish for him to do, as they thought it was better for a latter date for possibilities.

[29] He supplied information about the workings of the FDP, and was described as a reliable contact with many relationships with people in Bonn, who he also utilized.

[34] He wanted to introduce legal entitlement in 1954 for builders who built a family home and provided an equity share of at least 30 percent, but it was not approved.

[35] More power was given to his office during this time, as in 1953 the duty to recognise companies and associations as organs of state housing, approve statutes, and approve or withdraw their recognition as long as they had an association in two or more countries, this was done previously by the Reich Minister of Labour since 1940.

[41] From 1958 to 1971, in his longest-serving position, he was President of the Central Association of German House and Land Owners.
