Konrad Schragmüller was a son of the Rittmeister a. D. and Mengeder bailiff Carl Schragmüller. His older sister was the employee of the German military secret service Dr. Elsbeth Schragmüller . After Schragmüller had attended the royal Prussian cadet institute in Berlin-Lichterfelde as a child , his military career began in 1914 as an ensign in the 13th Jägerregiment on horseback. In 1915 he was promoted to lieutenant. In 1916 he moved to the air force with the rank of first lieutenant. After the collapse of the German Empire, he fought in various volunteer corps in 1919 and 1920 . In particular, he was a member of the Freikorps Yorck von Wartenburg and was involved in battles against Poland and the Baltic States.

Weimar Republic

In the 1920s, Schragmüller managed the Schönberg manor in Altmark. After joining the NSDAP in the mid-1920s ( membership number 162.827), he was instrumental in setting up the Sturmabteilung (SA) in the Altmark . As sub-group leader of Standard 1 Schönberg , he headed the SA sub-group Magdeburg-Anhalt.

From July 1932 until his death, Schragmüller was a member of the Reichstag as a member of constituency 10 (Magdeburg). His mandate was then continued by Erich Krüger until the end of the electoral term that began in November 1933 in March 1936 .

Time of National Socialism and Death

As a full-time SA group leader of the group center in Magdeburg, Schragmüller was appointed by the chief of staff of the SA and Reich Minister Ernst Röhm in the spring of 1933 as special commissioner of the Supreme SA leader and the SS in Anhalt and the province of Saxony to control the authorities. After the leave of absence of the Magdeburg police chief Ferdinand Freiherr von Nordenflycht , who had replaced Horst W. Baerensprung after the " Preußenschlag " on July 28, 1932 , Schragmüller had been acting police chief of Magdeburg from May 4, 1933. His appointment as regular police chief of the city took place on May 23, 1934.

On June 30, 1934, Schragmüller was arrested in the course of the Röhm affair in Munich on the way to a leadership meeting of the SA in Bad Wiessee . He was later transferred to Berlin, where he was shot dead by an SS command on July 2 on the grounds of the Berlin-Lichterfelde cadet institute. As his successor in the office of Police President of Magdeburg, the former Imperial Naval Officer and Police President of Harburg-Wilhelmsburg Carl Christiansen was appointed on July 23, 1934 .
