Otto Thye

Otto Gerhard Reinhard Thye (born May 16, 1885 in Halstrup ; † October 23, 1947 in Mansie ) was a German farmer and politician ( DNVP , NSDAP ). From 1925 to 1933 he was a member of the Oldenburg State Parliament .

Life

Thye was the son of a farmer. He first attended the agricultural school in Neuchâtel, then completed a degree at the Hohenheim University of Applied Sciences and then took over the management of his father's farm in Mansie. Anchored in the cooperative system, he was a member of the board of the agricultural breeding cooperative in Oldenburg.

In May 1925 Thye was elected to the Oldenburg Landtag for the first time, to which he was a member until 1933. Until he joined the NSDAP at the beginning of 1931, he was a member of the bourgeois-national parliamentary group of the state bloc , which he represented on the finance committee. As a parliamentary group member of the NSDAP, he was again a member of the finance committee in June 1931, and from June 1932 he was also a member of the shop stewards committee.

Thye had been second alderman since 1928 and became first alderman of the municipality of Westerstede in 1933 . From 1933 he was a member of the Ammerland administrative board and district farmer leader. As a result of internal party differences, he was no longer confirmed as an alderman, whereupon he resigned all offices in 1934 and withdrew from public life. After handing over the farm to his son in 1937, he devoted himself to forest care and historical private studies.
