Carl Braband
Carl Julius Braband (born July 10, 1870 in Hamburg ; † November 19, 1914 there ) was a German lawyer and liberal politician.
Life and work
Carl Braband was the son of Hamburg Senator Theodor Braband . Braband grew up in Hamburg and attended Wilhelm-Gymnasium Hamburg . From 1889 to 1893 he studied law at the Eberhard Karls University in Tübingen and the Silesian Friedrich Wilhelms University . He was a member of the Corps Suevia Tübingen (1890) and Borussia Breslau (1891). In 1891 he served as a one-year volunteer .
He settled in Hamburg as a lawyer in 1894 and founded a well-respected partnership with Justus Brinckmann's son .
Braband was very much influenced in his views by his guardian, liberal citizen and lawyer Albert Wolffson . At one of his election rallies in 1903, the opposing candidate was also allowed to speak of the SPD , which was absolutely unusual at the time.
The political position to include the Social Democrats in the citizenry created many enemies in the bourgeois camp and some professional disadvantages. Mainly because of his political attitudes to social democracy, he was dismissed on March 19, 1908 from his service as first lieutenant of the Landwehr second contingent . This was a serious offense for him, because at that time it was common for members of the Hamburg bourgeoisie to belong to the city's officer corps in addition to their profession. After the outbreak of World War I , he volunteered for service and was taken back into the army. He served in the rank of first lieutenant in the clothing office of the IX. Army Corps in Bahrenfeld .
Political party
In 1898, Braband and Carl Wilhelm Petersen founded the Hamburg local association of Friedrich Naumann's National Social Association . In 1904 he joined the Liberal Association . In February 1908, the Free Liberals in Hamburg formed the Association of United Liberals with the local association of the Free People's Party , to which Braband belonged from then on. From 1910 the Free People's Party was absorbed into the Progressive People's Party .
MP
In the parliamentary elections in 1904, Braband was elected to the Hamburg parliament for the first time and joined the right-wing parliamentary group there . In the bourgeoisie he was one of the sharpest opponents of the changes in the electoral law of 1906, with which the poorer strata of the population were to be represented less than before in parliament. He therefore left the right-wing parliamentary group on February 24, 1906 with Carl Wilhelm Petersen , Johann Hinrich Garrels and Wilhelm Johannes Wentzel in order to forestall a parliamentary group exclusion. These four MPs, together with MPs from the Left Party such as Andreas Blunck, then founded the United Liberals , the first explicitly political bourgeois parliamentary group ( there was already an SPD parliamentary group). This move led the bourgeois press to riot about Braband and Petersen as leading members of the United Liberals, even calling them "the originators of a dangerous overthrow movement and pimps of social democracy".
In 1912, Braband won a mandate for the Progressive People's Party for the 6th Schleswig-Holstein constituency (Elmshorn-Pinneberg) in a runoff election against Adolph von Elm .
