Life

Steup passed the foreman examination in 1923.

Steup had been a member of the Center Party since 1918. Since 1924 he was a member of the board of the party in the province of Westphalia . He was also involved in the Christian trade union movement , the Catholic labor movement and in the settlement sector until 1928 . In 1927/28 he was chairman of the Kettlersiedlung in Witten .
