Michael Pirker

Michael Pirker (born September 21, 1911 in Greifenburg , Carinthia ; † June 26, 1975 there ) was an Austrian politician ( NSDAP ).

Live and act

After attending primary school in Greifenberg, Pirker hired himself out as an agricultural laborer. From 1927 he worked as a woodworker.

In the early 1930s, Pirker joined the Austrian branch of the NSDAP. In July 1934 he was involved in the unsuccessful July coup of the Austrian National Socialists against the Dollfuss government . He was sentenced to death by hanging by the Military Court of Klagenfurt on September 18, 1934, but was later pardoned to lifelong heavy imprisonment, which he served until July 24, 1936 in the Karlau penal institution near Graz . One year after his early release, he went to the German Reich on July 26, 1937 , where he settled down as a woodworker in Giesing near Munich (Schmucker company), where he lived in Deisenhofen .

After the "Anschluss" of Austria , Pirker returned to Greifenberg, where he worked again as a woodworker. From April 1938 until the end of the Nazi regime in spring 1945, Pirker was a member of the National Socialist Reichstag for Austria . According to the judgment of Wilhelm Wadls, Pirker received his mandate as a “politically nameless” only for reasons of appearance, in order to be able to show a “representative cross-section of the population” of the entire Reich, including Austria.
