Live and act

Schubert was born the son of Franz Schubert and his wife Rosa. Paternal ancestors were his farmers in Thomas village at the foot of the patriarch , maternal gardener in Fulnek . In his youth, Schubert attended elementary school and high school . In 1900 he entered the civil service and worked as a tax officer in Fulnek until 1919. As a member of the revolutionary Sudetenland state parliament, which demanded the annexation of the Sudeten areas to the German Reich , Schubert was dismissed from civil service without a pension. He then worked in Austria for seven months .

Politically, Schubert was active in a leading position in the German Workers' Party in Austria from 1906 . In 1918 he participated in the founding of the German National Socialist Workers' Party (DNSAP), for which he was active as local group leader and district leader from 1922. He was also a member of the Moravian-Silesian regional leadership and became the party's deputy regional leader. Finally he was appointed to the party leadership of the Nazi Party, and from 1929 was the main organization leader and also a civil servant district leader of the party in the Ostrava constituency. He also took on official duties as head of local politics for the entire Sudetenland. From the beginning of 1920 to the beginning of October 1933 he was also mayor of Fulnek, and according to his own statements he was the first National Socialist mayor in the Sudeten area . From 1929 to 1933, when the party was banned, he was also the party's representative in the Czechoslovak Parliament in Prague.

Due to his political activities, Schubert was imprisoned in the Pankrác prison for eleven months , mainly because of his work as the leader of the national sports association. On September 14, 1935, he found himself in Germany as a political refugee. He received German citizenship on November 14, 1935. At that time he was entrusted with the office of mayor of the Silesian town of Glatz , which he held from May 1936 to 1941. He also received the Golden Party Badge of the NSDAP (No. 87).

From March 29, 1936 until the end of the Nazi regime in the spring of 1945, Schubert also sat in the National Socialist Reichstag on the Reich election proposal . He joined the SS in 1939 and was promoted to Standartenführer in June 1941.

From 1940 and 1942 Schubert was Vice President for Bohemia in the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia . In June 1942 he was dismissed from his office because he had enriched himself with the wealth of Jewish people. For this reason he received a reprimand from Reichsführer SS Heinrich Himmler in the same year . From 1942 he was later chief director at the Landeshypothekenbank für Böhmen until he was retired in 1943.

Towards the end of the Second World War , Schubert left for Austria and from there came to West Germany at the end of 1949.

There Schubert became chairman of the organization committee of the federal management of the Sudeten German Landsmannschaft (SL) and chairman of the state organization of the SL in North Rhine-Westphalia .
