Georg Zipfel (politician)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Zipfel (born April 20, 1896 in Kronach , † after 1938) was a German politician ( NSDAP , Völkischer Block ). Among other things, he was a member of the Bavarian State Parliament from 1924 to 1928 .

Life

After attending school, Zipfel learned the metalworking trade . After the First World War , Zipfel began to get involved politically. On March 5, 1923 he joined the NSDAP, in the same year the Sturmabteilung (SA).

In the Bavarian state elections in April 1924 , Zipfel ran for the Völkisch Block. In April 1925 he replaced the late Ernst Pöhner . As a parliamentarian, he was particularly noticeable through numerous insults to other members of parliament. Furthermore, the state parliament repeatedly dealt with rhetorical attacks by Zipfel on civil servants and private individuals as well as with written attacks on the same groups of people in its combat sheet Die Flamme . Furthermore, the state parliament allowed the persecution of Zipfel for offenses against religion based on the article he wrote "The Talmud and Jesus Christ".

On September 22, 1925, Zipfel moved to the recently constituted state parliamentary group of the NSDAP, for which he sat in the state parliament until 1928. He joined the party itself on June 10, 1925 ( membership number 7,236) or 1926, according to varying figures . Politically, however, he soon stepped into the background, which Rainer Hambrecht justified with the fact that Zipfel failed "because of its inadequate format in relation to the urge for validity". With Franz Kühnel it is said quite similarly that with Zipfel "his claim to his leadership role and his abilities" gape too far apart "to be able to assert himself in the success-oriented NSDAP". Robert Probst counts Zipfel, Emil Löw and Wilhelm Holzwarth to a group of Nazi MPs who lacked the “demagogic agitation talent” and who “with their clumsy statements [often] encouraged the state parliament to salmon volleys”. Within the Franconian NSDAP, Zipfel was a supporter of Julius Streichers , whose style he tried to copy.

After 1928 Zipfel worked as a district and district speaker. From 1933 to 1937 he was a member of the Kronach City Council. In 1938 he moved to Bamberg as an employee of the local calibration office.
