Jean-Pierre Mourer

Jean-Pierre Mourer (19 August 1897 in Wittring, Moselle – 10 June 1947 in , Mulhouse) was an Alsatian politician. He was elected to the French National Assembly in 1928, 1932 and 1936.

A railway employee, Mourer joined the French Communist Party and was elected to parliament in April from the second constituency of Strasbourg. In a second round of voting, he defeated Georges Weill by 7,140 votes against 6,013. His appointment as Kreisleiter materialized in spite of reservations from the Gestapo, who were reluctant to see a former communist occupy such a strategic office. During this period, he Germanized his name to 'Hans Peter Murer'.

Notably, evidence in Mourer's case focused primarily not on collaboration during the occupation itself but rather on the contacts he allegedly had with Germany prior to the war.
