Ludwig Schickert

Ludwig Alfred Schickert (born August 8, 1901 on the Schniftenbergerhof , Kriegsfeld municipality ; † November 14, 1951 there ) was a German politician ( NSDAP) .

Live and act

Schickert was born as the son of an independent farmer and seed breeder. He attended elementary school in Nieder-Wiesen from 1906 to 1910 , then the secondary school in Bonn and until 1918 a secondary school in Bitburg specializing in agriculture . Until 1923 he studied agriculture at the University of Hohenheim . In 1924 he took over his father's business. Schickert was married from 1935; the marriage resulted in two children.

In April 1927, Schickert joined the NSDAP ( membership number 60,807); he also became a member of the Sturmabteilung (SA). Since July 1932 he was the NSDAP's agricultural regional advisor in the Palatinate. At the end of January 1933, Schickert founded the “Pfälzer Bundschuh”, the National Socialist farmers' organization in the Palatinate, which a year later was absorbed by the Bavarian peasantry and the Reichsnährstand .

In the Reichstag elections of July 1932 Schickert was a candidate of the Nazi Party for the constituency 27 (Pfalz) in the Reichstag voted, of which he was subsequently without interruption until January 1935th The most important event in which Schickert took part during his time as a member of parliament was the passage of the Enabling Act in March 1933, which was passed, among other things, with Schickert's vote. From 1933 he was a member of the Reichsbauernrat .

Alongside Fritz Hess , Schickert was one of the main representatives of an anti-Semitic-conservative movement within the Palatinate NSDAP . There were rivalries between this direction and a group around Gauleiter Josef Bürckel , which was more oriented towards a “national socialism” , which can be proven for 1932 and which presumably existed earlier. On June 2, 1934, Schickert recommended Reichsbauernführer Walther Darré to “purge” all party organs of “ Gregor Strasser's accomplices ”, by which Bürckel was meant. For his part, Bürckel accused Schickert of failing to abide by the boycott of Jewish businessmen . A party court proceedings initiated by Bürckel ended on February 12, 1935 with Schickert's expulsion from the party. His mandate in the Reichstag was declared invalid on January 31, 1935 at the instigation of Bürckel. Leonhard Wüchner replaced Schickert in the Reichstag.

Schickert was on the run between 1936 and 1939 after the Frankenthal Special Court issued an arrest warrant against him for continued offenses against the Treachery Act. Schickert stayed temporarily in the Netherlands and with a relative in Thuringia. In May 1939 the arrest warrant was lifted, about which Schickert was informed personally by Reichsbauernführer Darré. He managed the Schniftenbergerhof again until 1945.

After the end of the war, Schickert was interned from December 1945 to August 1947 . Since he was banned from staying in the Kirchheimbolanden district , he temporarily lived in Neustadt an der Weinstrasse (then again called Neustadt an der Haardt ) before returning to the Schniftenbergerhof in September 1949. Information obtained from the mayor of Kriegsfeld in the course of denazification in 1948 described his “alleged” persecution as “more theatrical”. In the same year, the CDU in Kirchheimbolanden confirmed that he was "[r] adical and ruthless" and a "first-class propagandist" who had "caused a lot of mischief". The Neustadt Spruchkammer discontinued the denazification process in February 1950 because he was classified as a minor.
