Live and act

The son of a court secretary attended elementary school and high school in Steele near Essen . After a savings bank teachings in Cologne Reckmann worked for several years in this profession in Cologne and Sankt Goar .

In July 1925 Reckmann joined the NSDAP ( membership number 22,560) and the SA . From November 1930 to June 1931 he was district manager of the NSDAP in Koblenz , was then promoted to the deputy of the Gauleiter for Koblenz-Trier , Gustav Simon , and held this office until the end of the war in 1945. Between 1931 and 1933 Reckmann was also Gau managing director, Gau treasurer and Gau organization manager, and from 1932 to 1933 NSDAP district leader for Koblenz city and - in personal union - Gau inspector for Gau Koblenz; at the same time he was SA storm leader . In November 1936, Reckmann held the rank of Oberführer in the National Socialist Motor Vehicle Corps (NSKK); in January 1944 he was promoted to NSKK group leader. Beckmann was also the holder of the NSDAP's Golden Decoration .

In November 1933 Reckmann became a member of the National Socialist Reichstag , to which he subsequently belonged for eleven and a half years, until the end of the Nazi regime in May 1945, as a representative of constituency 21 (Koblenz-Trier). During the Second World War , he served in the military for a month in the summer of 1940. After the German occupation of Luxembourg , Reckmann built the Volksdeutsche movement there in 1940 and 1941 on behalf of his Gauleiter Gustav Simon , an association that sought to join Luxembourg with the National Socialist German Reich .

At the beginning of February 1943 Reckmann was transferred to Munich as permanent representative of the head of the Supreme Party Court of the NSDAP , Walter Buch . Internal party personnel appraisals described Reckmann as qualified for "highest positions in party and state". An assessment from July 1941 saw him as a possible "Gauleiter for a small Gau". In December 1943, Martin Bormann forbade further proposals to Reckmann, since this was indispensable in the Supreme Party Court.

After the liberation , Reckmann was arrested by British troops in 1946 and extradited to Luxembourg. On December 23, 1949, he was sentenced to four years in prison by the War Crimes Court in Luxembourg. In 1950 Reckmann lived in Krefeld-Verberg . The information on Reckmann's death is considered unsecured because his death is not recorded in the birth entry in the Essen registry office. According to an uncertain source, he could also have died in Merano in November 1984.
