Brunislaus Franz Warnke (born November 4, 1883 in Zippnow , Deutsch Krone district , † August 18, 1958 in Unsleben ) was a German politician ( center , later CDU ).

Live and act

His Catholic parents were Robert Warnke and Pauline Sydow. Brunislaus Warnke attended grammar school in Deutsch Krone from 1898 to 1905 . From 1905 to 1907 he studied German , history and geography at the University of Breslau . From 1907 to 1909 he continued his studies at the University of Greifswald in the same subjects. In 1912/13 he was a teacher at Marienwerder grammar school . This was followed by promotions to senior seminar teacher and vice-rector in Graudenz, then he was transferred to Schneidemühl , where he was also vice-rector. After the abolition of the senior seminars, Warnke was taken over at the advanced school in Schneidemühl.

After he had already sat twice in the provincial parliament of the border mark Posen-West Prussia and had represented this province in the Reichsrat from 1926 to 1929 , Warnke moved in 1928 as a member of the Center Party in the Reichstag in Berlin , of which he was a member until 1933. In March 1933, he and the other members of the Center voted for the Enabling Act , which, however, did not prevent him from being removed from the Reichstag a few months later. During the time of National Socialism he was exposed to professional disadvantages and political persecution. After the assassination attempt on July 20, 1944 , he was arrested by the Gestapo in August 1944 and, after his release from prison in October 1944, placed under police supervision.

After the Second World War , he settled in Wittenberg in 1945 and worked as senior director of studies . He joined the Christian Democratic Union (Eastern CDU) in the Soviet-occupied zone and became chairman of the CDU local executive committee. In 1946 he was elected city councilor and member of the state parliament of Saxony-Anhalt . He belonged to the CDU parliamentary group leadership and from February 1950 to the council of elders of the state parliament (successor to Friedrich Hampel ). In October 1949 Warnke was elected to the provisional state chamber . In the spring of 1950 he fled to the Federal Republic of Germany , where he declared that he had last been exposed to such terror during the Nazi era as in previous months in the GDR .
