Life

Kling was born in 1880 as the second of five children of Jakob Friedrich Kling (1847-1918) and his wife Karoline Luise (1853-1936), née Obenland. After attending elementary school , Kling was trained at the teachers' college in Nürtingen . After the preliminary completion of his training, Kling entered the Württemberg primary school. From 1902 to 1903 he taught in Mitteltal near Baiersbronn and Kirchheim. From Kling's marriage to Hulda Honnegger (1881–1966) in 1909, the sons Hermann (1911–1993) and Gerhard Paul (* 1918) emerged. From 1910 to 1913 studied Kling at the University of Tübingen Philosophy , Education and Psychology and History , State and Administrative Law . In 1916, Kling received a position as principal school principal, which he could only take up after his return from the First World War in 1918.

During the First World War , Kling fought in the fusilier regiment "Emperor Franz Josef of Austria, King of Hungary" (4th Württembergisches) No. 122 as a lieutenant in the Landwehr . Later Kling, who was awarded the Iron Cross of both classes and the Knight's Cross of the Württemberg Military Merit Order, also wrote down the history of the regiment. He also received the Knight's Cross II. Class of the Frederick Order with Swords.

In the Weimar Republic, Kling was politically active in the Christian Social People's Service (CSVD). From 1928 to 1933 he was a member of the Landtag of the Free People's State of Württemberg . In the Reichstag election of September 1930 , Kling was elected to the fifth Reichstag of the Republic, to which he was a member until January 16, 1931. Then he limited himself to his work as a member of the state parliament in Württemberg. After the self-dissolution of the People's Service in June 1933, Kling belonged to the NSDAP faction in the state parliament as an intern.

In 1937, Kling acquired the Sonnenhof agricultural estate in Beuren . He lived there as a farmer until 1950, when he sold the Sonnenhof to the rural settlement . After the Second World War he returned to politics, although he continued to work as a farmer. In January 1946 he became a member of the provisional parliament for the CDU and, from July, the state constitutional assembly for Württemberg-Baden . He was also a member of the first state parliament of Württemberg-Baden from 1946 to 1950.
