Life

Weber spent his school days in Leipzig . He joined the SPD early on. During the National Socialist era , he was arrested for his political views and taken to a concentration camp during World War II . In 1947, Erich Zeigner advised Weber to flee the German Democratic Republic . In Hanover Weber became assistant to Kurt Schumacher , the chairman of the SPD. There he came into contact with Annemarie Renger , whose close collaborator he later became. In the 1950s he worked in the Hessian Ministry of the Interior. He also studied law at the Johannes Gutenberg University in Mainz . As the son of a Halle corps student , he had been a member of the Corps Borussia Halle since 1950 , which was reconstituted in Mainz in 1955. As a guest he came to the Corps Saxonia Frankfurt , which had been founded in 1949 as Halle's successor corps in Frankfurt am Main . In order to become a member, he had to fence a length . He faced her in 1952 at the first post-war congress of the KSCV on the Wachenburg . With "Wickelkopf" he drove to Wiesbaden to attend the congress that evening. From 1954 to 1960 he was District Administrator of the Wetzlar district and then until 1980 City Director of Braunschweig . He designed the reconstruction of the city, operated the city partnerships and promoted sport in many honorary posts.

During the federal election campaign in 1976, Weber and Winfried Döbertin were involved as chairman of the Fritz Erler Society , which denounced left positions within the SPD in the media. Because of this campaign support for the CDU / CSU, a party order procedure was initiated against Weber, whereupon he resigned from the SPD. He became chairman of the Social Democratic Union , founded the Ludwig Frank Foundation for a Free Europe eV (LFS) with party friends in 1977 , of which he became honorary chairman in 1999.
