Live and act

Schreiber was born on December 9, 1879 as the youngest of seven children into a farming family in the Altenstadt district of Feldkirch . After attending elementary school and high school in his hometown, he began studying law at the University of Innsbruck . This lasted from 1900 to 1903, with Schreiber receiving his doctorate in law (Dr. iur.) In 1905 . During his studies, Martin Schreiber entered the court service in Feldkirch in 1901. After completing his studies, he trained as a professional judge at the Feldkirch Regional Court from 1904 to 1909 . From then on, Martin Schreiber worked as a judge in Male, Borgo, Bozen and Dornbirn. In 1924 he became head of the court in Feldkirch, and from 1932 to 1938 he was president of the Feldkirch regional court. He was also a member of the Higher Court in the Principality of Liechtenstein from 1922 to 1938 .

On December 9, 1930, at the request of his party colleague, Federal Chancellor Otto Ender , Schreiber took over the post of Deputy Governor of Vorarlberg, who is known as Provincial Governor. He exercised this function until July 14, 1931, the day on which Otto Ender took over the post of governor and his previous representative in this position, Ferdinand Redler, was again governor. With the so-called “Anschluss” of Austria to the National Socialist German Reich in March 1938, Martin Schreiber was removed from office by the NS authorities and retired at his own request.

After the Second World War and the subsequent liberation of Vorarlberg, Martin Schreiber was finally appointed governor again in the first elected state government of Vorarlberg under Governor Ulrich Ilg in 1945, which he remained until the state elections in Vorarlberg in 1954 . Schreiber was also able to return to court service at the Feldkirch Regional Court after regaining Austrian sovereignty.
