Karl Schimmelpfennig (born January 27, 1882 in Drosedow , Kolberg-Körlin district , † 1937 in Drosedow ) was a German farmer and politician ( DNVP ).

Live and act

Schimmelpfennig was the son of the landlord from Drosedow in the Kolberg-Körlin district . He attended the Domgymnasium in Kolberg from 1889 to 1898 and the Gymnasium in Steglitz, Berlin until 1900, where he passed the Abitur exam. From 1900 to 1902 he completed an agricultural apprenticeship. From October 1, 1902 to September 30, 1903 he was a member of the Mansfeld Field Artillery Regiment No. 75 in Halle an der Saale . From 1903 to 1905 he studied law and agriculture in Halle an der Saale without a degree . From 1905 to 1906 he practically supplemented his skills with in-depth agricultural training.

From 1906 he managed the Drosedow estate, whose lease he later took over entirely from his mother. With 1360 hectares (as of 1919), the Drosedow estate was one of the largest in the Kolberg-Körlin district. Karl Schimmelpfennig's father and later his widowed mother had already run a high-performance cattle and pig breeding business. Karl Schimmelpfennig continued it; he "was probably the best known cattle breeder in the circle" and led some of his cattle into the German cattle performance book .

From 1914 to 1918 he took part in the First World War with field artillery regiment No. 2 , in which he was promoted to captain of the reserve. In 1918 he married.

After the First World War he began to work in the German National People's Party (DNVP). In the Reichstag election of June 1920 , he was elected as a candidate for the DNVP for constituency 6 (Pomerania) in the Reichstag , to which he belonged until May 1924. In addition, he was a member of the German National People's Association for the Kolberg Körlin district and since 1919 a member of the district council of the same district. He died in 1937.
