Karl Poppe (born January 24, 1896 in Barel , † June 8, 1965 in Dötlingen ) was a German politician ( NSDAP ).

Life

Poppe was born the son of a farm owner. After attending primary school , he was trained at the agricultural winter school. From December 1915 to December 1918 he was a soldier in World War I , among other things with the 2nd Machine Gun Company in Infantry Regiment 91 and with the 5th Company of Reserve Infantry Regiment 440. From 1924 he was self-employed farmer; he had previously worked on his parents' farm.

In the 1920s he joined the NSDAP. From December 1929 to May 1930 he headed the local group in Brettorf (today in Dötlingen). He also became SA leader and head of main department V at the NSDAP in the Gau Weser-Ems.

After the transfer of power to the National Socialists, Poppe became a state farmer for Oldenburg-Bremen. In addition, from 1933 he also acted as Vice President of the Oldenburg Chamber of Agriculture and President of the Association of Oldenburg Agricultural Cooperatives. In the same year he became a member of the Reichsbauernrat .

In the Reichstag election of July 1932 , Poppe was elected as a candidate of the NSDAP for constituency 14 (Weser-Ems) in the Reichstag , to which he subsequently belonged without interruption until March 1936. The most important parliamentary event in which Poppe took part during his time as a member of parliament was the passing of the Enabling Act in March 1933, which formed the legal basis for the establishment of the National Socialist dictatorship and which was passed, among other things, with Poppe's vote.

Due to a serious illness, Poppe temporarily resigned in October 1935 and then permanently resigned in February 1936. At the same time he was appointed "Altlandesbauernführer". In the Reichstag election on March 29, 1936 , he had applied for a mandate, but no longer entered the National Socialist Reichstag.

After the end of the war Poppe lived in Oldenburg.
