'''Erwin Pohl''' (28 January 1912 - 3 February 2001) was a [[Besmenia|Besmenian]] politician, who served as the 8th [[President of Besmenia]] between 1973 and 1979. Before that, Pohl served as the first [[Governor of Heraldsteinland]] from 1967 to 1973.
'''Erwin Manfred Pohl''' (28 March 1912 - 2 February 1992) was a [[Besmenia|Besmenian]] politician and statesman, who served as the 7th [[President of Besmenia]] between 1973 and 1985. Before that, Pohl served as foreign minister from 1964 to 1972 and between 1960 and 1964 as federal minister for internal Besmenian relations.
==Early life==
Erwin Pohl was born on January 28, 1912 in [[Behringen]], [[Metakumburg]], [[Kingdom of Besmenia]]. Pohl was the son of Richard Pohl (1860-1942), who was ambassador for [[Zamastan]] from 1914 to 1920, and the history teacher Bertha Pohl (1864-1950, '' née '' Müller). Since his father was an ambassador for Zamastan, Pohl lived in [[Tofino]] until he was 8 years old. In March 1920 the family moved back to Besmenia to [[Melmingia]]. When Pohl was 14 years old, the border between West Besmenia and East Besmenia was closed under the orders of [[Karl Ochsenbein]].
==Education==
In 1931 Pohl began studying law at Karl Ochsenbein University (today: [[North Melmingian University]]), which he successfully completed in 1936. During his studies, Pohl worked from 1932 to 1936 as an assistant for the lawyer [[Heinrich Mayer]].


==Pohl in the [[West Besmenian Revolution]]==
Pohl is today considered the most popular of Besmenia's presidents. In his later years after his presidency, Pohl gained a positive reputation as an elder statesman across party lines in Besmenia.
Even in his youth, Pohl had an aversion and dissatisfaction with the fascist regime in West Besmenia. For example, he showed no interest in joining the [[Besmenian National Union]]. When the West Besmenian Revolution began at the end of May 1966 with the aim of overthrowing the fascist regime and introducing democracy, Pohl showed great interest and joined the anti-government protesters. Pohl was one of the people who stormed Garnsberg Castle (then the residence of the West Besmenian supreme leader) on June 7, 1966.
==Early life and education==
Erwin Pohl was born on March 28, 1911 in [[Halsholm]] in [[Jakartaburg]] in the [[Kingdom of Besmenia]]. His father Friedrich Pohl (1879-1956) was a clerk in companies in the local textile industry. His mother Ingrid Grimm (1883-1964) was a housewife. In September 1915, Pohl's younger sister Lilli was born, who died only three months after birth.
===Life in [[Tine]] (1923-1939)===
Following the seizure of power by the [[Besmenian National Union]] in November 1923, the Pohl family left [[Besmenian Empire|West Besmenia]] in December 1923 and settled down for [[Tinegard]], [[Tine]].

==Relationship with [[Robert Gleitzmann]]==
The relationship between Pohl and Robert Gleitzmann had been strained since the late 1960s. Pohl has criticized Gleitzmann since he became BVP Chairman in 1967 for his right-wing orientation and for the fact that the BVP became more right-wing under him. The conflict between the two led to Pohl leaving the BVP in 1970. Pohl was an opponent of the BVP-BRP government under Gleitzmann as Prime Minister, Pohl himself replied to the government participation of the BRP that this government could harm Besmenia internationally. According to reports, after the [[1976 Besmenian federal election|1976 election]] Pohl begged Gleitzmann to form a coalition government with either the FBBP or the SDU, while Gleitzmann, on the contrary, continued to work with the BRP. Pohl only reluctantly accepted the swearing-in of the [[Second Gleitzmann cabinet]]. Since the late 1970s at the latest, the relationship between the two high-ranking politicians has been considered very strained.
