Richard Schiller

Richard Schiller (born February 6, 1874 in Berlin , † June 16, 1941 in Göttingen ) was a German politician (SPD).

Live and act

In his youth Schiller attended elementary school in Berlin. He then worked as a sculptor. Later he was trained at the arts and crafts schools in Berlin and Munich . Schiller had been a journalist since 1908. Up until the First World War he wrote for social democratic newspapers in Cologne , Breslau , Waldenburg in Silesia and Hamburg, and especially for the People's Guard in Göttingen. In addition, there were studies on economic, literary and art history topics.

After the war Schiller was again active in the press. As a Social Democrat editor, he was sentenced to 11 months in prison for insult. In the same year Schiller distinguished himself with his warnings against the ethnic associations and his demand for an “active republican policy to protect the republic”.

With the election of December 1924 , Schiller entered the Reichstag of the Weimar Republic for the first time , in which he represented constituency 16 (Südhannover-Braunschweig) for three legislative periods, until July 1932, and again from November 1932 to March 1933. After 1933 Schiller withdrew into private life. He died in 1941.
