Life

Albrecht was born the son of a Saxon-Altenburg domain administrator. After graduating from the secondary school in Altenburg with the upper primary qualification , he voluntarily entered the German Army and was a flag junior with the Anhalt Infantry Regiment No. 93 . In 1919 he passed the Abitur in Halle. During this time he joined the Freikorps Halle and Anhalt. For a short time still with the Reichswehr Infantry Regiment, he retired from service in September 1919 as a Fahnenjunker private . In that year he also became a member of the Reichshammerbund and the Deutschvölkischer Schutz- und Trutzbund .

From 1919 to 1925 Albrecht worked as an agricultural worker, apprentice and civil servant in Holstein , Lübeck , on Rügen and in East Prussia . He also studied agriculture and economics in Berlin , Rostock and Gießen and graduated in 1925 with a doctorate. phil. agr. from.

In 1920 he was also a co-founder of the call to found the German Social Party .

In 1923 he came into contact with the National Socialist movement for the first time and immediately became a group leader, then a platoon leader and until 1925 the standard bearer of the Hundertschaft Charlottenburg (later SA Storm 33, Maikowski †). From 1924 he worked for the Völkischer Beobachter . In 1926 Herbert Albrecht became a candidate for the state parliament of the Saxon NSDAP , which he had recently joined. In 1926/27 he worked as a volunteer administrator in the Vogtland . From 1927 he worked mainly for the NSDAP, among other things as an imperial speaker and as a financial and economic expert.

In 1930 he was appointed acting Gauleiter of Mecklenburg-Lübeck after the previous Gauleiter Friedrich Hildebrandt had been given leave by Hitler. In the same year he became a member of the Reichstag ( constituency 12 - Thuringia) and therefore voluntarily resigned as Gauleiter in 1931. He then became a member of the Reich Economic Council of the National Socialist Reich leadership and remained so until its dissolution. In addition, he was from 1931 to 1933 chairman of the parliamentary group in the national economy and deputy chairman in the budget committee of the Reichstag. In 1933 he was made a representative to the Reichsrat (Thuringia).

He obviously came into conflict with the NSDAP. The Supreme Party Court therefore warned him in 1934, denying his ability to hold office in the party for a period of three years. It was also requested that he resign from his seat in the Reichstag. But he remained MdR until May 1945, from March 1936 for the constituency 28 Dresden-Bautzen.

Albrecht's other posts included special commissioner of the Thuringian government in Berlin, member of the small and large labor convention of the German Labor Front , member of the administrative board of the Reichspost and, in 1934, delegate of the supervisory board on the board of the Reich's own Deutsche Revisions- und Treuhand AG.
