Anton Schrammel (born November 13, 1854 in Vienna ; † March 12, 1917 there ) was an Austrian politician ( Social Democratic Workers' Party ), trade union secretary and editor. He was a member of the Austrian House of Representatives from 1887 to 1900 and from 1907 to 1911 .
Life
Anton Schrammel was born as the son of a railway conductor. He attended elementary school and two classes of a secondary school before the early death of his father forced him to drop out of school. He learned the trade of amber and meerschaum turner and was awarded a gold medal for his work at a world exhibition. After his journeyman's journey through many European countries, including spending 10 months in Rome, he and Jakob Reumann founded the union wood turner's association in Vienna. He had been active in the labor movement since he was 17 and soon became involved in the training and support association of the wood turner in Vienna, where he was soon elected secretary. Due to his union involvement, he was “disciplined” in his company and therefore worked between 1891 and 1896 as editor of the association's organ “Fachblatt der Drechsler”. In 1892 he also became a member of the executive committee of the Social Democratic Workers 'Party. In 1894, after a speech in Bolzano, his agitation and assembly activities brought him six months' hard prison before a Tyrolean court. In 1896, at the request of the party, he became publisher and editor of the Neunkirchner Volkszeitung “Equality”. Schrammel stood in the 1897 Reichsrat election in the Bohemian constituency 6 (Leitmeritz, Aussig etc.) for the curia of the "general electoral class" and was elected in the same year as one of the first Social Democrats in the House of Representatives of the Reichsrat. In 1899 he also moved professionally to Aussig, where he took over the editing of “People's Law”. In the Reichsrat election in 1901 Schrammel was subject to a bourgeois coalition, but in 1907 he was re-elected to the House of Representatives in the electoral district of Bohemia 81 . He represented the Social Democrats there until 1911, whereby he lost his seat to Rudolf Lodgman von Auen in the 1911 Reichsrat election. The main focus of his political engagement in the Reichsrat were socio-political concerns of the workers, especially in the areas of employment relationships and wages, as well as food taxes. Schrammel returned to Vienna in 1906, where he worked as secretary of the association of workers in the chemical industry and as publisher and editor of its association newspaper.
After his death on March 14, 1917, Schrammel was buried at the Vienna Central Cemetery (Group 3, Row 2, No. 16). In his honor a community building in Vienna in Anton-Schrammel-Hof was named.
