Franz Bernt (before 1908)

Franz Bernt (born April 27, 1867 in Seestadtl (Ervěnice) , Bohemia ; † September 14, 1936 in Bensen (Benešov nad Ploučnicí) , Bohemia) was an Austrian- Bohemian farmer and politician ( German Radical Party ). He was a member of the Austrian House of Representatives .

Life

Bernt was born the son of the farmer and miller Franz Bernt. He attended the elementary and community school in Brüx and subsequently graduated from the agricultural school in Kaaden . Professionally, he was active as a farmer in Hareth that, like his place of birth, was later abandoned due to open-cast brown coal mining . He did his military service with the 2nd Fortress Artillery Battalion in Mostar, most recently with the rank of corporal. He was co-founder and chairman of the North-West Bohemian beet processing cooperative in Brüx and district fire department inspector and delegate of the state fire department association. He was married to Maria Liebig from 1892 and had at least five children.

Bernt became involved in the Freialldeutsche Party, which was later renamed the German Radical Party. As a candidate for the Free German Party, Bernt ran in the Reichsrat election in 1907 in the electoral district of Bohemia 112 , where he won the runoff election with 62 percent against the candidate of the Social Democrats. As a result, he was from June 17, 1907 a member of the House of Representatives. Thanks to his success in the 1911 Reichsrat election , where he won the runoff election against the Czech Social Democratic candidate with 67 percent, Bernt was a member of the House of Representatives until November 12, 1918. He was also a member of the Provisional National Assembly for the German National Party from October 21, 1918 to February 16, 1919 .
