Karl Brönnle

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl Wilhelm Brönnle (born January 4, 1879 in Reichenbach an der Fils , † May 29, 1952 in Stuttgart ) was a German politician ( KPD ). He was a member of the Landtag of the Free People's State of Württemberg .

Life

Brönnle, the son of a railroad expedition, also entered the railroad service after attending high school . He worked as a railway inspector, but also as a writer.

In 1904 Brönnle joined the SPD , in 1917 the USPD and in 1920 joined the KPD with the left-wing USPD majority. He worked as a literary and theater critic for various party newspapers. From 1924 to 1928 he represented the KPD in the Württemberg state parliament .

Brönnle did not have much influence in the party apparatus, but was valued by the party leadership because he was considered an expert on cultural issues and had good connections with bourgeois circles. In 1928, the magazine of the Württemberg Officials Association praised Brönnle, "who had worked for the civil service at all times since then," and regretted that the KPD had no longer posted it. Brönnle belonged to the right wing of the KPD. In 1929 he left the KPD to join the KPO . After this conversion, however, he no longer appeared politically.

Until his retirement in 1945 he was employed by the railway. Even after 1945, Brönnle was no longer politically active.
