Life
Frey was born the son of a civil servant. After attending primary school from 1908 to 1912 and high school, Frey studied economics at the University of Munich from 1921 to 1923 . At the same time, he worked as a student trainee on construction sites and large companies. Frey did not take his degree in economics until 1928 at Heidelberg University . In December 1922 Frey joined the NSDAP. Frey took part in the Hitler putsch in Munich in November 1923 . After the party's temporary ban between November 1923 and January 1925, he joined the Palatinate NSDAP in 1925, before becoming a regular member of the party again on January 1, 1926 (membership number 29.148). In the meantime, Frey was a member of the Greater German National Community . From 1926 to 1929 he was a member of the SA and, as a leader of SA standards, achieved the rank of standard leader. In May 1929 he moved from there to the SS in Munich, where he rose to SS-Oberführer on April 20, 1936. In October 1930 Frey was appointed head of the district operations cell for the Munich-Upper Bavaria district. In November 1932 he was promoted to chairman of the National Socialist Company Cell Organization (NSBO) in Bavaria and remained in this position until 1938.
In the Reichstag election in March 1933 , Frey was elected to the Reichstag for the NSDAP , in which he represented constituency 24 (Upper Bavaria-Swabia). After his mandate was confirmed in the following three “Reichstag elections”, he was a member of the National Socialist Reichstag for almost twelve years until his death in January 1945. During his time as a member of parliament, Frey voted, among other things, for the Enabling Act of March 1933, which formed the legal basis for the establishment of the Nazi dictatorship.
In May 1933 Frey was appointed District Manager Bavaria of the German Labor Front (DAF). In early 1934 Frey appeared as a witness in the Reichstag fire trial. On April 1, 1934 Frey was appointed trustee of the work and remained in this position until 1942. He was also head of department in the Bavarian Ministry of Economics between 1934 and 1935. He was also Reich Commissioner for the State Health Insurance Funds in Bavaria from 1933 to 1935 . His marriage took place in 1938 and resulted in disciplinary proceedings because he had married in church without permission. From November 1938 he was a member of the advisory board of the Reich Chamber of Commerce and was a member of various supervisory and administrative boards.
Frey took part in the Second World War as a soldier from the end of 1939 and died in January 1945 after being wounded in the Heidelberg reserve hospital.
