Live and act

Ernst Riemenschneider was born in 1900 as the son of the miner Heinrich Riemenschneider. After attending primary school in Bochum, he completed an apprenticeship as an electrician from 1914 to 1916. From 1916 to 1918, Riemenschneider worked as a conscript in an ammunition workshop. In May 1918, in the late phase of the First World War , he became a radio operator at the replacement communications department 7 in Neuhaus . There he passed several exams. He then worked at the home radio station in Neuhaus until the end of the war.

After his release in February 1919, Riemenschneider worked as a miner until 1924. At the same time he took courses to prepare for the commercial profession and in May 1924 became head of the purchasing department of a machine factory. He held this position until July 1932.

On June 14, 1926, Riemenschneider joined the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), in which he soon took over the post of district leader for Bochum-West. On October 9, 1928, Riemenschneider married Hildegard Piclum. Through this marriage, which remained childless, the mayor of Bochum Otto Leopold Piclum became his brother-in-law. From June 1927 to December 1928 he was SA-Scharführer in SA-Sturm 1 of SA-Standarte I / Ruhr (Bochum). He was then an assessor of the investigation and arbitration committee in the Gau Westfalen-Süd . From January to December 1930 he was treasurer of the Bochum NSDAP group, which he led from January 1931 to 1945 as district leader. On March 12, 1933 he became a city councilor in Bochum.

In the July 1932 election , Riemenschneider was elected to the Reichstag for the first time. He then belonged to this without interruption for six legislative periods until his early departure on October 20, 1943 as a representative of constituency 18 (Westphalia South). Walter Borlinghaus continued his mandate from 1944 until the end of the war .

On July 1, 1933, Riemenschneider became commercial director and board member of Bochum-Gelsenkirchener Straßenbahnen AG , which he remained until 1945. He was imprisoned in the Staumühle internment camp from May 18, 1945 and remained so until June 14, 1948. On that day he was sentenced to three years in prison by the Hiddessen Court, which was considered to have been served due to the internment. On August 9, 1950, he was classified in a denazification process in category 3 (less polluted). He lived in Werdohl for the next few years and then moved back to his hometown Bochum in the early 1950s, where he worked as a sales representative.
