biography
Colshorn attended several private schools during his training and spent many years as a businessman in England and Russia. As a manor owner, he lived on the Wiedenhausen an der Aller estate (today the Heidekreis district in Lower Saxony ) in the then Prussian province of Hanover .
From 1903 to 1907 Colshorn was a member of the German Reichstag for the constituency of the Province of Hanover 5 ( Melle - Diepholz ).
During the time of the Weimar National Assembly he worked as a guest of the center faction for the German-Hanoverian Free State Movement, which had fought for an independent State of Hanover in the Reichsverbund since the annexation of the Kingdom of Hanover by Prussia. The compromise of Article 18 of the Weimar Constitution , in which the "division of the Reich into states ... taking into account the will of the people involved" should be implemented, among other things, goes back to the proposals of Colshorn and the DHP.
He was briefly arrested on March 16, 1920 during the Kapp Putsch . The commanding General von Hülsen allegedly had "certain evidence" in hand that large German-Hanover troop contingents were approaching Hanover and attempting a violent coup attempt in Hanover - the so-called Welfenputsch . From June 1920 to March 1924 he worked in the Reichstag committee for the Upper Silesian question and dealt with claims for compensation for damage caused by war damage and land cessions. From February 1923 he was a member of the Reichstag's committee for transport affairs.
