Carl Schreck (also Karl Schreck) (born September 6, 1873 in Bielefeld , † April 14, 1956 ibid) was a German politician ( SPD ).

Live and act

Schreck was born the son of a master tailor. After attending primary school in Bielefeld (1879–1887), he learned the carpentry trade from 1887 to 1890 at home and abroad. From 1905 he worked as a freelance carpenter.

Around 1890 he joined the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). From 1891 he worked as a public speaker for his party. In 1911, Schreck became district party secretary for eastern Westphalia and the two lips. He held this post until May 1920. In 1921 he married.

After the war, Schreck was elected to the Weimar National Assembly, in which he represented constituency 17 (Münster-Minden-Lippe). He then sat from June 1920 to May 1933 without interruption, from the first to the eighth electoral term of the Weimar Republic, in the German Reichstag , in which he represented constituency 19 or (after renumbering the constituencies in 1924) 17 (Westphalia-North) . He was also a member of the Prussian State Constitutional Assembly from 1919 to 1921 .

In the 1920s, Schreck was a member of the Reich Committee for Social Education and the Central Command for Sports and Personal Care as well as chairman of the social democratic organization for East Westphalia and both Lippe. Schreck was also a member of the Prussian State Council . He was also chairman of the free Volksbühne, member of the official arbitration committee, city ​​council in Bielefeld and the district association of young workers in Bielefeld.

Schreck was active in the Friends of Nature movement. After he had got to know and appreciate the Friends of Nature on his wanderings through southern Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the Friends of Nature were founded in Bielefeld and Osnabrück on his initiative in 1912. In 1914 he inaugurated the Friends of Nature House in Bielefeld in Oerlinghausen am Tönsberg . As chairman of the Friends of Nature, he inaugurated the Friends of Nature House in Kirkel in Saarland in 1928. The Naturfreundehaus in Löhne - Gohfeld is still named after Carl Schreck today.

In March 1933, Schreck was one of 94 members of the Reichstag who voted against the adoption of the Enabling Act introduced by the Hitler government , which formed the legal basis for the establishment of the Nazi dictatorship, and which was finally adopted with 444 votes to 94. In April 1933 he was arrested and ill-treated and resigned from the Reichstag. His mandate was taken over by Heinrich Drake from May 30, 1933 to June 22, 1933 .

After the Second World War, Schreck took part in the reconstruction of the SPD in West Germany. Schreck participated as a delegate at the Wennigs conference from October 5 to 7, 1945, at which the SPD was re-established. In particular, he again took on tasks at his old place of work in East Westphalia. From 1946 to 1954, he was chairman of the workers' welfare organization in the Ostwestfalen-Lippe district.

Schreck excelled in journalism as the author of trade union and socialist pamphlets, through small traveling books and novellas as well as through his collaboration in social democratic newspapers.

Schreck's estate is stored in the Bielefeld State Archives.
