Eduard Dingeldey
Peter Gustav Eduard Dingeldey (born June 27, 1886 in Gießen , † July 19, 1942 in Heidelberg ) was a German lawyer and politician ( DVP ).
Life and education
Eduard Dingeldey studied law and economics at the universities of Heidelberg, Berlin and Gießen, became a government assessor at the Worms district office and later worked as a lawyer in Darmstadt and from 1931 in Berlin. During his studies in Heidelberg, Dingeldey became a member of the Rupertia Association .
politics
In 1919 he became a member and party leader of the German People's Party in Hesse . From 1919 to 1928 he belonged to the Hessian state parliament for the DVP ( Wilhelm Kunkel succeeded him after his departure ) and was parliamentary group chairman there. From 1922 to 1928 he was also a member of the Reich Party Executive.
Dingeldey was from May 1928 to November 1933 a member of the Reichstag and since 1930 chairman of his party. From 1930 he campaigned for the formation of a so-called “citizens' party”, but this project failed.
From 1931 until the party was dissolved in 1933, Dingeldey was chairman of the DVP. Within the DVP he tried to mediate between the liberals and the right, but he hardly succeeded. In 1932 he concluded an election agreement with the DNVP that was directed against the SPD and the center . Although he had initially spoken out against cooperation with the National Socialists and in June 1933 still rejected the transfer of the DVP to the NSDAP, which was sponsored by his deputy Otto Hugo , in 1933 he switched to the NSDAP Reichstag faction as an intern.
During the time of National Socialism he worked again as a lawyer.
family
Eduard Dingeldey was the son of the evangelical pastor August Dingeldey and his wife Bessie née Wilson. On April 23, 1919, he married Elisabeth Hildegard , née Merck and widowed Baroness von Glenck. His brother was District Administrator Alfred Dingeldey .
