Live and act

As a child Jäckel attended the poor class of the simple citizen school in Crimmitschau. At the age of 13 he became a part-time worker in the Vigognes spinning mill. Later he worked in carded yarn spinning mills in the cloth industry, then as a wool and cotton weaver in various cities in the south, west and north of Germany.

Around 1890 Jäckel became a member of the SPD . For five years he worked in consumer associations as an employee, then as a rendant in health insurance companies and as an editor for a social democratic newspaper. Since 1906 Jäckel became a member of the main board of the textile workers' association and since 1913 chairman of this association. He played a leading role during the Crimmitschauer strike of 1903/04.

As the city councilor of Crimmitschau, Jäckel held a public political office for the first time. From 1912 to 1918 he sat as a member of the Reichstag of the German Empire . In January 1918, during the First World War , Jäckel left the SPD to join the further left USPD , for which he became a member of the first Reichstag of the Weimar Republic in June 1920 , in which he represented constituency 30 (Chemnitz-Zwickau) . From December 1920 to November 1921 he was Saxon Minister of Labor. In 1922 he returned to the SPD, whose parliamentary group he also joined for the rest of his parliamentary term, which lasted until May 1924.
