Timeline
Henry Walter Maier (February 7, 1918 – July 17, 1994) was an American politician and the longest-serving mayor of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, holding office from 1960 to 1988.
A Democrat, Maier was a powerful and controversial figure, presiding over an era of economic and political turbulence for the city of Milwaukee.
Maier was born Henry Walter David Nelke in Dayton, Ohio.
After his father died, he moved with his mother to Springfield, Ohio to live with his grandparents.
He graduated from Springfield High School in 1936.
When his mother moved to Milwaukee and married contractor Charles Maier, Nelke accompanied her.

In 1960 he was elected Milwaukee's mayor, succeeding Frank Zeidler, the last of Milwaukee's Socialist mayors.
Maier's term included the 1967 Milwaukee riot, a response by the African-American community to a host of issues including housing discrimination and police brutality.
(Maier's opposition to the Civil Rights Movement caused constant friction with his administration and Milwaukee's non-white residents).

In 1993, Maier wrote a political memoir: The Mayor Who Made Milwaukee Famous.
