Robert Freißler
Robert Freißler (born March 23, 1877 in Troppau (Opava) , Silesia , † January 7, 1950 in Graz ) was an Austrian administrative lawyer and German national politician.
Life
Robert Freißler was the older brother of the writer and translator Ernst Wolfgang Freissler . He studied law at the University of Vienna and received his doctorate just there to Dr. iur. He later worked at the Troppau Chamber of Commerce and Industry .
Freißler was elected to the Austrian Reichsrat in 1911 as a member of the German People's Party . There he represented the constituency of Silesia 3 , which included the city of Freudenthal and whose population was predominantly German-speaking.
After the collapse of the Habsburg Monarchy, he was a German national member of the Provisional National Assembly of German Austria in 1918/1919 . During this period Freißler was also governor of the province of Sudetenland , proclaimed on October 29, 1918 , which consisted of the parts of northern Moravia and Austrian Silesia that were mostly inhabited by Germans . According to Johann Wolfgang Brügel, the name Sudetenland was an “embarrassing solution” at that time; Freißler had instead pleaded for the name “ Altvaterland ”, which is more rooted in regional traditions . The area was captured by Czechoslovak troops in early 1919 and assigned to Czechoslovakia in the Treaty of Saint-Germain .
