Hans Luther Hans Luther (10 March 1885–11 May 1962) was a German politician and former Chancellor of Germany. Luther started in politics in 1907 by becoming the town councillor in Magdeburg. He continued on becoming secretary of the German Stdtetag in 1913 and then mayor of Essen in 1918. In December 1922, Chancellor Wilhelm Cuno appointed Luther minister of Food and Agriculture. He kept his position in 1924 when Wilhelm Marx was elected. In 1925, he was elected Chancellor of Germany, but then Marx was put back into power the following year.
