Emil Berg (politician, 1887)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Emil Daniel Berg (born March 6, 1887 in Kaiserslautern , † after 1935) was a German politician ( DNVP ) and a member of the Landtag of the Free State of Saxony.

Life

He was the son of master cooper Daniel Berg and his wife Katharina née Franck. After attending secondary school, he took up commercial training and went to the commercial advanced training school in Kaiserslautern. After working as an apprentice and assistant in a commercial agency for a certain time, he moved to the trade fair city of Leipzig in 1910 , where he worked from then on. Here he became managing director of the trade and employers' association in 1911. As in-house counsel on May 1, 1914, he took over the management of the Association of Exhibitors at the Leipzig wholesale trade fair.

In addition, from 1923 to 1927 he was an authorized signatory in the Leipzig company Wilhelm Felsche.

Emil Berg was Volkwirt RDV (= Reich Association of German Economists).

After a successful election, Emil Berg entered the Saxon state parliament in the Weimar Republic on December 1, 1922 (2nd electoral period) and on November 25, 1926 for the same party in the 3rd electoral period in the Saxon state parliament. On November 6, 1928, he resigned from his state parliament mandate. Shortly before that, his book Des Deutschen Volkes was fateful. Dictatorship or Fall appeared, which was advertised as a popular book that should not be missing in any household. In it, the author castigates the untenable modern conditions that have created a state structure from the former great fatherland in just under 10 years, where muddling around is the fashion and the sense of responsibility of the individual has been lost. [...] The work resembles a redeeming act when the leaders and the people heed the suggestions laid down in it and put them into practice as quickly as possible.

In Leipzig he lived in Gohlis , Platnerstrasse 3.
