Emil Petri, 1911

Georg Karl Emil Petri (born April 3, 1852 in Buchsweiler ; † December 11, 1918 in Kehl ) was a lawyer, state secretary and member of the German Reichstag .

Life

Petri attended grammar school in Buchsweiler and the universities in Heidelberg and Strasbourg . During his studies in 1872 he became a member of the Black Castle Association Wilhelmitana Strasbourg . From 1879 he was a lawyer in Strasbourg. He was a member of the Provincial Committee of Alsace-Lorraine , the District Assembly of Lower Alsace and the Directory of the Church of the Augsburg Confession in Strasbourg.

In a replacement election on July 21, 1887 for the deceased member of parliament Jacques Kablé , Petri was elected as member of the German Reichstag for the constituency of WK Elsaß-Lothringen 8 (Strasbourg), to which he was a member until 1893. Since Petri was also supported by the Alsatian autonomists in the elections, he only joined the parliamentary group of the National Liberal Party as a guest in the Reichstag . In 1893 he ran again, but was defeated in the runoff to August Bebel .

In 1892 he was appointed to the board of directors of the Straßburger Kommunalkreditbank, and in 1898 he was appointed undersecretary and head of the ministerial department for justice and culture in Alsace-Lorraine. In 1914 he had to resign after an affair of libel.
