Fritz Schmidt (politician, 1882)
Fritz Schmidt (born November 11, 1882 in Berlin , † April 22, 1964 in East Berlin ) was a German politician ( SPD ).
Fritz Schmidt attended a community school and was then trained at the municipal advanced training school and at the workers' training school in Berlin. He did a commercial apprenticeship and was employed in a freight forwarding company . In 1900 he joined the consumer cooperative in Berlin , in 1903 the Central Association of Employees (ZdA) and in 1904 the SPD. Schmidt became chairman of the ZdA in Berlin in 1910 and became managing director there two years later. In 1923 he switched to the Allgemeine Ortskrankenkasse (AOK) as a clerk in the Pankow district . From 1932 he worked in the welfare office in the district of Friedrichshain , but after the " seizure " of the Nazis in 1933 he was dismissed for political reasons. It was not until 1938 that he was able to find a job at Julius Berger Tiefbau AG in Berlin-Grunewald .
After the Second World War , Schmidt became deputy (second) district mayor of Pankow alongside Bruno Mätze in 1945 , but was deposed in the following year on the orders of the Soviet Military Administration in Germany (SMAD). In the first Berlin election in 1946 , he was first elected to the city council of Greater Berlin and the district council of Pankow, but in February 1947 he left because he was elected to the district council for labor in the Kreuzberg district.
In December 1948, the SED newspaper “ Neues Deutschland ” wrote that Fritz Schmidt, head of Department I (elementary schools) in the Hauptschulamt, who had repeatedly spoken out against a split in the Hauptschulamt, refused to accept a position in the western Hauptschulamt. Schmidt would remain at his post.
