from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Willibald Johannes Anton Wiercinski , since 1929 Wiercinski-Keizer , from 1937 Wiers-Kaiser (born January 20, 1888 in Dresden , † December 19, 1944 in Danzig ) was a German lawyer and politician.

Wiercinski, son of the senior postal assistant Anton Aloisius Gottfried Wiercinski, attended the Wettin grammar school in Dresden and studied law and economics in Leipzig and Königsberg . Wiercinski took part in the First World War as an officer .

From 1924 until 1939 he was represented in various senatorial posts in the Senate of the Free City of Danzig . Among other things, he was appointed Senator for Internal Affairs in the Danzig Senate Sahm II as a member of the Center Party .

On September 22, 1933, Zentrum Senator Willibald Wiercinski-Keizer joined the NSDAP . In response to this, the last remaining Senator of the Center, Anton Sawatzki , resigned his mandate, which meant that only National Socialists were represented in the Senate. Wiercinski-Keizer changed his name to Wiers-Kaiser and founded a “Working Group of Catholic Danzigers” (AKD), in which he gathered center members who wanted to turn away from the center and turn to the new rulers.

Dr. Willibald Wiers-Kaiser was appointed Gauhauptmann for the Reichsgau Danzig-West Prussia in 1939 after Danzig's return to the German Reich .
