Life

Imbt grew up as the son of the Protestant Progymnasiumspedell Jakob Imbt. He first attended elementary school , then high school up to secondary school . He then became a candidate for civil servants at the Kusel city ​​administration . From 1918 to 1921 he attended the Bavarian Administration School and in 1921 passed his examination for the upper middle administrative service at the Bavarian Academy for Administrative Science. He then became city secretary in Zweibrücken and then municipal senior secretary in Ixheim . From March 8, 1925 to 1929 he was head of the local branch of the NSDAP Zweibrücken. He officially joined the party on January 16, 1926 ( membership number 28,438). Then he founded the local group Ixheim.

From March 1927 he headed the Gauamt for local politics. In 1928 he ran in four Palatinate constituencies for the NSDAP in the state elections . At that time the Palatinate was still part of Bavaria; it was occupied by French troops. After the state election on April 24, 1932 , he became a member of the Bavarian state parliament (fifth electoral term).

Imbt became mayor of Bad Dürkheim on May 1, 1933 . As Lord Mayor of Neustadt / Haardt and Gauamtsleiter of the Gausiedlungsamt Pfalz-Saar, Imbt ran on the nomination of the NSDAP on the list with the number 400 in the election to the German Reichstag on March 29, 1936 , but did not enter the National Socialist Reichstag . In 1938 he became mayor of Kaiserslautern . In 1938 he arranged for the synagogue in Kaiserslautern to be demolished .

Imbt was district director of Kaiserslautern-Stadt for many years. From May to October 1940 he was city ​​commissioner of Metz .
In his function as appointed President of the District Association of the Palatinate , he chaired a meeting of this municipal association parliament, which was significantly reduced in 1933 in terms of the number of mandates and converted from elections to appointment in 1937, which was then reassembled only in 1950.

Towards the end of the Second World War , he fled to Bavaria via Heidelberg , but returned to Kaiserslautern on May 17, 1945, where he was arrested. He was interned in Idar-Oberstein and later in Landau in the Palatinate and released on April 16, 1949. He settled in Kaiserslautern. In the denazification process , he was classified as "incriminated". He was therefore released into retirement with his pension halved.

  • Elektrowerbung AG Ludwigshafen am Rhein
  • Gasanstalt AG Kaiserslautern
  • Non-profit building company Kaiserslautern AG
