Arno von Rehbinder
Arno von Rehbinder (born October 9, 1879 in Königsberg , East Prussia , † July 27, 1957 in Berlin ) was a lawyer and, as a member of the German Center Party, a member of the Reichstag .
Life
After attending high school in Königsberg studied Rehbinder there at the University of Konigsberg law and took to the trainee - and Assessor service there since 1910 work as a lawyer on. In 1918 he moved to Berlin and worked there as a banker. After 1933 he worked again as a lawyer in Berlin.
Political life
In Berlin, the active Protestant Rehbinder joined the Catholic Center Party in view of the anti-clerical policies of the Prussian USPD Culture Minister Adolph Hoffmann .
After the November Revolution , it tried to create an interdenominational Christian people's party against the threat of rule by the Marxist and thus the separation of church and state oriented SPD and USPD. In addition, the center dropped its name in many places and replaced it with "Christian People's Party". At the beginning of January 1919, it also created the “ Union of Christian Democrats . Evangelical branch of the Center Party ”. Led by Protestant theologians and representatives of the Berlin Protestant bourgeoisie, this attempted to combat the considerable anti-Catholic prejudices in German Protestantism and to promote an interdenominational party that stood up for German democracy and republic. But the union with the Catholics and the rejection of the monarchy let the “League of Christian Democrats” experience the sharpest rejection within Protestantism, so that it did not get beyond promising beginnings and was dissolved in 1920.
Rehbinder was a leading person in this federation and, as a Protestant center deputy, was a city councilor in Berlin in 1919/20 . In 1920 he was elected as the only Protestant in the state committee (state board) of the Center Party, from 1924 he was then a member of the Reichsparteiausausschuss (Reichsvorstand).
On March 7, 1921, von Rehbinder came as a successor on the Reichsliste of the Center Party because of the by-elections from February 20 to 1924 in the 2nd Reichstag, making him the first Protestant member of the Reichstag of the Center Party. At the same time he was elected to the Prussian state parliament in 1921 , but to avoid a double mandate he did not accept this election.
