Richard Perner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richard Perner (born October 11, 1876 in Alt Waldenburg in what is now the administrative district of Chemnitz ; † May 30, 1955 in Hamburg ) was a typesetter, editor and semi-official senator in the Hamburg Senate .

Life and work

After training (1891-1893) as a typesetter , Perner worked in this profession and joined the SPD .

From 1903 Perner worked as an editor in Forst (Lausitz) . In 1907 he moved to Brandenburg an der Havel as editor of the Brandenburger Zeitung , the official party organ of the Social Democracy . From 1909 Perner wrote in Hamburg for the Hamburger Echo . From 1916 to 1919 Perner had to take part in the First World War . Perner was an influential editor there until the Hamburg Echoes were banned on March 3, 1933.

Perner was arrested in August 1944 during the grating action and imprisoned in Fuhlsbüttel concentration camp until September 1944 .

MP and Senator

From 1905 to 1907 Perner was a city councilor for the SPD in Forst. In Hamburg, Perner was elected to the Hamburg parliament in 1919 , which he belonged to until 1933.

When Carl Legien died at the end of December 1920, Perner was the successor for his mandate in the Reichstag for constituency 14. In the Reichstag election in 1920 , the vote in the 14th constituency was postponed because of the referendum in the Duchy of Schleswig specified in the Peace Treaty of Versailles . That is why Legien and later Perner, with the transitional provision in Section 38 of the Reich Election Act of April 27, 1920, were still members of the Reichstag until the by-election on February 20, 1921. Perner was a member of the Reichstag for almost six weeks.

On April 5, 1928, Perner was elected to the Hamburg Senate , to which he belonged as a semi-official Senator until his resignation on September 15, 1931, when the Senate was downsized.
