Richard Schreckhas

Christoph Johannes Richard Schreckhas (born April 6, 1878 in Braunschweig , † April 28, 1945 in Friedland ) was a German politician ( DVP ). From 1923 to 1933 he was a member of the state parliament of the Free State of Mecklenburg-Strelitz .

Live and act

Richard Schreckhas was the son of a businessman and insurance agent. In 1897 he obtained his Abitur at the Martino-Katharineum in his native Braunschweig. He then did his military service as a one-year volunteer. He then studied German, English and French language and literature in Göttingen, Berlin and Grenoble . In 1903 he passed the first state examination in philology in Göttingen and then did his preparatory service as a scientific assistant teacher in Neubrandenburg. From 1904 to 1905 he studied in Rostock, where he completed his dissertation on Titus Andronicus and received his doctorate in December 1905. From September 1905 he worked as a scientific assistant teacher and from 1906 as a senior teacher in Rixdorf . In 1919 he became director of studies at the Lyzeum with Reformrealgymnasium in Neubrandenburg.

Schreckhas was a member of the German People's Party (DVP) and represented the party from July 1923 to July 1927 as a member of the third and from July 1928 to March 1932 as a member of the fifth state parliament of the Free State of Mecklenburg-Strelitz .

On June 30, 1931, Schreckhas was elected to the Parliamentary State Council in the State Ministry of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. He thus succeeded Otto Heipertz . The status of the Parliamentary State Councilors was initially controversial, in the end they were only given the function of advisors to the incumbent State Minister Kurt von Reibnitz . On December 4, 1931, Schreckhas von Reibnitz, against whom a motion of no confidence ran, was dismissed from the position, but was reinstated on the same day by his successor Heinrich von Michael . When the government was reorganized, Michael appointed the NSDAP MP Fritz Stichtenoth to the Parliamentary State Council on April 7, 1932, and Schreckhas resigned from office. In an open letter to Heinrich von Michael, Schreckhas criticized the attacks by the DNVP parliamentary group against the institution of the state councils, which would have performed an important task with little allowance for expenses.

In March 1933, Schreckhas was once again briefly a member of the seventh state parliament , replacing Franz Gundlach .

After his political career, Schreckhas worked as senior director at the grammar school in Neubrandenburg. In October 1933 he was transferred to the Reformrealgymnasium in Friedland . From 1934 he was a member of the Nazi teachers' association and caretaker of the Reich Air Protection Association .

Schreckhas died on April 28, 1945 at the age of 67 in Friedland. On the same day, the Red Army took the city, with violent fighting and a large part of the houses burned down. It is likely that Schreckhas' death was related to this.

Richard Schreckhas was with Elisabeth, born in 1903. Schulz, married.
