Fritz Hellwig (3 August 1912 – 22 July 2017) was a German CDU politician and European Commissioner. He was born in Saarbrücken and turned 100 in August 2012. He died on 22 July 2017 at the age of 104, being the last surviving member of the Second Bundestag. Hellwig was born in the area known today as the Saarland province, known at that time as the Rhine Province of Prussia. After finishing school in 1930 in Saarbrücken, he studied philosophy, national economy, political sciences and history in Marburg, Vienna and Humboldt University of Berlin. He received a doctorate in 1933 in Berlin with a study on The Fight for the Saar 1860 – 1870, and in 1936 concluded a Habilitation with a work on the Saarland Industrialist Carl Ferdinand von Stumm-Halberg. From 1933 to 1939, he worked in the Saarbrücken Chamber of Commerce and Industry. From 1937 he was also a lecturer at the Saarbrücken teacher training university. Hellwig was a member of the NSDAP and the SA, and maybe also a member of the SS—his membership card of the writer's chapter of the Reich Chamber of Culture is ambiguous. In 1939/1940 Hellwig was managing director of the iron production organization in Düsseldorf and until 1943 of the iron and steel producing industry in the southwest district.
