Live and act

Peschke attended elementary schools in Ratibor , Opole and Breslau as well as high schools in Breslau and Katowice . He studied medicine at the University of Wroclaw . In 1908 he was approved . From 1910 to 1921, interrupted by his participation in the First World War from 1914 to 1918, Peschke practiced as a doctor in Zellin in Upper Silesia . In 1921 he moved to Neumarkt in Silesia , where he practiced as a doctor until October 1933. He then took on a post as a medical officer at the agricultural trade association of the Silesian provincial administration.

After the end of the war he was a member of the Silesian Federation and joined the DNVP in 1919 . He was a co-founder of the radical nationalist DVFP , which had split off from the DNVP and switched to the NSFP in 1924 . On April 1, 1925, Peschke joined the NSDAP ( membership number 2281). In 1929 he joined the SA and from there switched to the SS in 1931 , where he worked as a standard doctor. He participated in the establishment of the Silesian Gau, where he was deputy Gauleiter from 1930 to 1933. In addition, he participated in the development of the Nazi movement in the Neumarkt district , where he led a local group and - from 1920 to 1933 - was also the district leader. In 1931 Peschke became district chairman of the National Socialist German Medical Association in Silesia.

From March 1933 until his death in 1943 Peschke was a member of the Reichstag as a member of the NSDAP. During his time as a member of parliament, he voted, among other things, for the adoption of the Enabling Act introduced by the Hitler government in March 1933 , which formed the legal basis for the establishment of the Nazi dictatorship.
