Heinrich Fahrenbrach
Heinrich Fahrbrach (often mistakenly called Heinrich Fahrbach ) (born July 3, 1878 in Ronsdorf , † January 28, 1950 in Neuss ) was a German politician ( center ).
Live and act
After attending elementary school, Fahrenbrach learned, like his father, the trade of silk ribbon weaver. Interrupted by serving in the army for two years (1898 to 1900), he practiced his profession until 1907. He then worked as a professional association official. From 1907 to 1919, Fahrenbrach served as district manager, then as chairman of the Central Association of Christian Textile Workers in Germany .
From 1915 on, Fahrenbrach took part in the First World War. After the war he began to be more politically active. In 1922 he became a member of the Provisional Reich Economic Council and chairman of the international federation of Christian textile workers' associations. He was also a board member of the German Federation of Trade Unions and the General Association of Christian Trade Unions as well as a city councilor in Barmen .
As a member of the Catholic Center Party, Fahrenbrach was a member of the Reichstag from May 1928 to November 1933 , where he represented constituency 23 (Düsseldorf West). Ivan Ermakoff identifies Fahrbrach as one of fourteen members of the Center Party who, in the internal parliamentary debate among members of the Center faction in the Reichstag on the question of whether to vote for or against the Enabling Act planned by the Hitler government , advocated a rejection or an internal parliamentary one Vote test voting with "No" (against acceptance). After the majority of the parliamentary group had voted for the adoption of the Enabling Act, Fahrenbrach and the other thirteen submitted to the parliamentary group's obligation and voted for the adoption of the bill, which formed the legal basis for the establishment of the Nazi dictatorship.
During the Nazi era , Fahrenbrach was repeatedly arrested (1936; 1944). After the war he lived secluded in Neuss.
Fahrbrach's estate is now kept in the DGB archive. It includes correspondence (including with Jakob Kaiser , with whom Fahrenbrach worked closely as a trade unionist) and personal records and has a volume of 0.2 meters of shelf space .
