Jean Kaltenbach (5 April 1927 – 16 April 2021) was a French politician.[1] A member of the Rally for the Republic, he served as President of the Regional Council of Champagne Ardenne [fr] from 1988 to 1998.

Biography

[edit]

Kaltenbach began his career as a pharmacist in Eurville. He then became Mayor of Eurville in 1965, serving until the commune merged with Bienville in 1972. He then served as the first Mayor of Eurville-Bienville from 1972 to 2001. During the 1982 French cantonal elections, he became General Councilor of the Canton of Chevillon [fr], serving until 1988.

Following Bernard Stasi's resignation as President of the Regional Council of Champagne-Ardenne in 1988, Kaltenbach succeeded him. He was re-elected in 1992 with support from the Rally for the Republic (RPR) and the Union for French Democracy (UDF). He opted not to run for re-election in 1998 due to disagreements within the RPR-UDF coalition.

Jean Kaltenbach died on 16 April 2021 at the age of 94.[2]
