Erwin Jacobi (politician)

Erwin Jacobi (born March 25, 1902 in Hamburg , † February 20, 1967 in Lüneburg ) was a German politician ( DKP-DRP , DP , NPD ).

Life and work

Jacobi grew up as the son of a board member of Hemmoor Zement AG in Hemmoor , studied law in Munich , where he was active in the now suspended Corps Brunsviga Munich . Professionally, Jacobi worked as a lawyer . Jacobi died as a result of a traffic accident on the B 209 near Oerzen .

Political party

Jacobi was a member of the DVP during the Weimar Republic . In the last few years before the National Socialists came to power, the party leadership of the Hamburg DVP had commissioned him to set up a hall protection to protect party events against the violent disturbances from the right ( SA ) and left ( Red Front ).

On October 31, 1945, he was one of the founders of the German Aufbaupartei and became deputy chairman of this party, which was absorbed into the DKP-DRP on March 22, 1946. After a merger with the small Hamburg right wing , the Hamburg regional association called itself the German Conservative Party . From then on Jacobi represented the Hamburg regional association in the zone council of the new party. After merger negotiations failed with the DP, he moved in June with Wilhelm Ziegeler and many other party colleagues for DP on and was elected on June 28, 1947, the Hamburg state chairman. Jacobi, who belonged to the moderate wing within the Hamburg DP, was replaced in March 1952 by Rudi Conventz , a representative of the radical nationalist wing, and was initially no longer a member of the state party leadership. After Conventz left the DP shortly before the 1953 Bundestag elections (he founded the National Solidarity of Germany , which failed with only 0.3% of the votes in the general election), Albert Walter , a member of the Bundestag, was elected chairman. The resulting departure of the DP from its extremist wing was one of the prerequisites, especially for the FDP to participate in the Hamburg block . When it was founded on September 28, 1953, Jacobi was one of the three equal chairmen of the HB alongside Erik Blumenfeld and Edgar Engelhard . He held this office until November 26, 1954.

After the merger of DP and GB / BHE to form the GDP , Jacobi belonged to the group around Fritz Thielen , which initially continued the DP and in 1964 participated in the establishment of the NPD , of which he became the Hamburg state chairman. In 1966 he was an unsuccessful leading candidate of the NPD in the Hamburg state elections.

MP

From 1949 to 1957 Jacobi was a member of the parliament in Hamburg, where he was chairman of the DP parliamentary group from 1949 to 1953 and then deputy chairman of the Hamburg block parliamentary group. From 1949 to 1951 he was also a member of the Altona district assembly . In 1952 he was chairman of the committee of inquiry to examine the application, the deputy Willi Plautz acc. Art. 13, Para. 2, No. 1 of the Constitution of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg from June 6, 1952, to be excluded from citizenship .
