Life

After attending primary school and an apprenticeship as a bricklayer, Schnirch went on a hike and worked in the profession he had learned until 1903. In 1902 he became chairman of the trade union cartel in Hof . From 1903 to 1913 he worked as managing director of the bricklayers 'and construction workers' association in Plauen in Vogtland . He then worked there until 1925 for the factory workers' association .

In the SPD, Schnirch was chairman of the party in Plauen from 1910 to 1912 and then until 1917 chairman of the constituency organization for the 23rd Reichstag constituency. In 1914 he became chairman of the Plauen consumer association and city councilor. In 1918, Schnirch joined the USPD. From April 21, 1920 he was a successor to the Saxon People's Chamber . From 1920 to 1926 Schnirch was a member of the Saxon state parliament and there from 1920 to 1922 deputy chairman of the USPD parliamentary group and from 1922 to 1926 deputy secretary of parliament. Since 1922 he was again a member of the SPD, from which he was excluded in 1926 because of the support of the government of Prime Minister Max Heldt in connection with the “ Saxon conflict ” .
