Johannes Knorr

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ernst Franz Johannes Knorr (born March 17, 1888 in Dresden , † June 29, 1959 in Rostock ) was a German politician ( CDU , DDP ) and union official.

Life

Johannes Knorr, son of the insurance officer Julius Franz Knorr, attended the primary and commercial school in Dresden and learned the trade. From 1905 to 1915, Knorr was a commercial clerk, accountant and civil servant for the Association of German Clerks . From 1915 to 1918 he took part in the First World War and was dismissed as a non-commissioned officer. From 1919 to 1933 Knorr was a trade union official in Hamburg, Erfurt, Stettin, Königsberg and Rostock. From 1920 to 1933 he was politically affiliated with the DDP and the German State Party . After the free trade unions were dissolved, Knorr worked in the accounting department at Arado Flugzeugwerke in Warnemünde .

In the Soviet Zone

On July 7, 1945, Johannes Knorr took over a position as trade union secretary in the FDGB and was a member of the state executive committee of the FDGB from 1945 to 1946. 1946 to 1947 he was a member of the central board of the union of employees in the FDGB.

Johannes Knorr joined the CDU in 1945 and was a member of the founding committee at state level. From May 1947 to July 1950 he was an assessor in the state executive committee of the Union. He represented the CDU in the Rostock city council, since the state elections in the Soviet Zone in 1946 in the Mecklenburg state parliament and in the Rostock Chamber of Commerce and Industry. After the CDU economics minister Siegfried Witte was dismissed in January 1950, the SED took action against the “hostile activities of the Witte clique” in Rostock, to which Johannes Knorr was also assigned. The unitary socialists particularly resented the establishment of a CDU operating group at the Rostock Neptun shipyard . They tried to accuse Knorr, as union secretary, of embezzling a cashier. Knorr was dismissed from his position and requested in September 1950 that his immunity as a member of parliament be waived in order to clear up the allegations. His political career in the conformist CDU of the country was complete.
