Wilhelm Freiherr von Schorlemer (born May 25, 1888 in Oldenburg , † October 7, 1965 in Münster ) was a German politician ( NSDAP ) and SA leader.

Live and act

He comes from the Westphalian noble family of the Barons von Schorlemer . After attending primary school in Oldenburg, Marienwerder grammar school and grammar schools in Prussian Stargard and Warendorf , Schorlemer studied agriculture. After completing his studies, he joined the Oldenburg Dragoon Regiment 19 as a flag junior . From 1914 to 1918 Schorlemer took part in the First World War as an officer , most recently as captain and adjutant of the 1st Guard Cavalry Brigade . After his return from the war, Schorlemer worked again in agriculture. Politically, he began to be active in the NSDAP in the 1920s, where he took on official duties as secretary of the Bad Oeynhausen branch and the Minden district leadership. In the paramilitary arm of the Nazi movement, the Sturmabteilung (SA), Schorlemer had been involved as SA leader since 1930. In 1933 he was appointed SA group leader "North Sea".

From November 1, 1933 to July 1934, Schorlemer sat as a member of the National Socialist Reichstag for the constituency . After Schorlemer resigned his mandate - presumably in connection with the events of the " Röhm Putsch " - on July 10, 1934, this was transferred to Hans Burkhardt in the follow-up procedure , who continued it until March 1936 for the rest of the electoral term. In the Reichstag election on March 29, 1936, he applied as Rittmeister a. D. and SA-Gruppenführer in Berlin-Schmargendorf , Beskowstrasse 5 II, again for a mandate, but was not elected.

On November 9, 1938, Schorlemer was promoted to SA Obergruppenführer. He was the leader of the SA group "Danube".

After SA man Eduard Honisch left the Reichstag as a member of the Reichstag in 1943, the Supreme SA leadership , citing Honisch's SA membership, again claimed a Reichstag mandate for Schorlemer, but was unsuccessful with this request.
