Life

Karl Kahn was born in Absberg in what is now the Weißenburg-Gunzenhausen district in 1900 . He studied economics and history. From 1921 to 1924 he was state chairman of the Jungbayern-Ring of the Bavarian People's Party. From 1926 he worked as an editor and speaker in business associations. From 1939 to 1946 Kahn was in the Wehrmacht and then in British captivity . In 1946 he became district manager and in 1947 district manager of the CSU Upper Palatinate.

Kahn was a member of the German Bundestag from its first election in 1949 to 1957. He represented the constituency of Burglengenfeld in parliament. 1949 and 1953 to 1957 he was deputy chairman of the petitions committee of the Bundestag .

On December 2, 1949, he was the first member of the Bundestag to question the parliament's quorum. This happened in the deliberation on the law introduced by the CDU / CSU and the Center Party on waiting allowances and pensions for officials expelled from the east ; the meeting had to be canceled due to the lack of a quorum. It was the rare case that a supporter of the application brought it down for the time being by establishing that there was no quorum. Kahn defended his actions by stating that from his point of view it was the duty of every member of parliament to be present at such an important debate.

Kahn died in Munich in 1966.
