Life and work

Paul Schröder was born in Lübz, Mecklenburg, as the son of an elementary school teacher. After graduating from the Friedrich-Franz-Gymnasium (Parchim) , he studied law and political science from the summer semester of 1905, one semester in Munich , two semesters in Berlin , and from the fourth semester in Rostock . He was already a member of the VDSt in Munich . In Rostock he founded the VDSt Rostock on November 17, 1906, from a number of members of the VDSt who were also studying in Rostock , and this quickly established itself in the student body under his leadership. In 1907 Schröder became the first chairman of the student committee at the University of Rostock and thus head of major national rallies of the Rostock student body, including a large Bismarck party in June 1907. After passing the assessor examination, he switched to the legal profession in 1913 and founded a law firm in Wismar.

As a company commander of a reserve infantry regiment, he took part in World War I until the last day.

In 1918 he resumed his legal practice in Wismar and at the same time developed a far-reaching and successful political activity. As a lawyer, he became particularly well-known through the so-called Weinberg Trial in Rostock, in which he forced the resignation of the then Minister of Justice of Mecklenburg-Schwerin in the course of his litigation.

In 1930 Schröder was killed in a car accident.
