Johann Friedrich Winckler (politician)

Friedrich Johann Otto Gotthelf Winckler (born November 28, 1856 in Frankfurt (Oder) , † November 16, 1943 in Salsitz ) was a Prussian politician ( DNVP ) and Protestant church politician .

Life

Winckler was 1894-1918 member of the Prussian House of Representatives and from 1896 to 1899 District Administrator of the district Zeitz . From 1903 to 1911 he was a member of the German Reichstag and from 1921 to 1932 for the German National People's Party (DNVP) a member of the Prussian state parliament , until 1928 as its parliamentary group leader. After Oskar Hergt resigned , he was appointed provisional Reich Chairman of the DNVP on October 23, 1924, before being elected party chair on February 3, 1925. He held the office of party chairman until March 24, 1926, when he was replaced by Kuno von Westarp .

As an active Protestant, he was a member of the Old Prussian General Synod from 1905 and President in 1915 . In addition to his function as President of the Saxon Provincial Synod (for the Old Prussian Church Province of Saxony) from 1920 to 1928 , he was President of the General Synod of the Evangelical Church of the Old Prussian Union (APU) from 1925 to 1933 . The APU constitution of 1922 bears his signature. According to this constitution, the President of the General Synod was also chairman of the Church Senate, the highest governing body of the APU. Winckler's function was therefore comparable to that of a church president or president of a non-episcopal Protestant regional church.

Winckler died on the Salsitz manor in the Prussian province of Saxony, acquired by the family .
