Life

Langwost, who was of the Evangelical Lutheran faith, was the son of a wheelwright. He received his training from private tutors until he was 20, and he became an editor and contributor to numerous newspapers. From 1896 he was also an official in the wool laundry and combing in Hanover-Döhren . In 1903 he made his first political appearance as the leader of the democratic wing of the Welfisch-conservative DHP. In 1912 he ran for the Reichstag in Hanover in vain. He was chairman of the DHP constituency association of the city of Hanover-Hameln-Springe . From 1915 on he took part in the First World War as a soldier at the front .

In 1919 Langwost was elected to the Weimar National Assembly. There he remained non-attached, as it did later in the Reichstag . At the end of 1925, after massive disputes, he was expelled from the DHP, but was later reinstated. From 1929 to 1933 he was a member of the city parliament of Hanover. In 1933 he was a member of the Prussian state parliament . He was the founder (1923) and Grand Master of the Greater German Order "Heinrich the Lion", which primarily advocated the political self-determination of Lower Saxony on a democratically progressive basis .

Langwost also excelled as a writer of native welfish writings. A Gestapo file registered: “Lodge master”.
