Hermann Heinrich Becker (15 September 1820, Elberfeld – 9 December 1885, Cologne) was a German politician and member of the German Progress Party.[1] Becker was born to Dr. Hermann Becker and Theodora Helene Caroline Wilhelmine Friedrike Becker, née Krackrügge. Becker studied law at Heidelberg, Bonn and Berlin,[2] and graduated on 10 May 1847.
He was mayor of Dortmund from 1870 to 1875[3] and mayor of Cologne from 1875 to 1885. He was also a member of the Prussian House of Representatives from 1862 to 1873.[4] On 8 October 1877 he married Henriette Metzmacher (1847–1928), daughter of his old friend Carl Metzmacher. However, the marriage did not last very long. Becker died on 9 December 1885 from tuberculosis.
