Life
After attending the state secondary school in Reichenberg, Richter studied from 1919 to 1924 at the civil engineering department of the German technical university in Prague . He then belonged to the 3rd Pioneer Regiment in Komorn for six months . From 1925 Richter earned his living as a civil engineer and from 1931 as an officially authorized civil engineer for the construction industry.
In the early 1930s, Richter began to get involved in the Sudeten German Party (SdP). In May 1935 he was elected to the Prague Chamber of Deputies for the SdP. There he took over the office of deputy chairman of the parliamentary club of the deputies of his party. He also became the main leader of the Sudeten German Party in the Office for Industry and Economic Organization.
As economic officer, Richter was instrumental in integrating the Sudeten areas into the National Socialist German Reich from September 1938 onwards to the incorporation of the Sudeten German economy into the economy of the German Reich . From October 1938 he was the general representative of the “standstill commissioner” for the economic organizations of industry. Later he was a regional economic advisor and head of the economic department of the Reich Commissioner in Reichenberg. At the beginning of November 1938 he was accepted into the NSDAP. In the SA he again achieved the rank of standard leader.
On the occasion of the supplementary election held on December 4, 1938, to the Reichstag elected in April 1938, Richter was elected to the National Socialist Reichstag , to which he was a member until his early departure on March 31, 1943 as a member of the Sudeten region. The background to his resignation was his membership of the board of directors of Aussiger Montangesellschaft mbH, which had existed since 1943. Before that, he had already been managing director of the Sudeten German coal syndicate in Aussig from 1939 and since that year he had also been a member of the presidium of the Landesbank - Girozentrale Reichenberg. In the final phase of the Second World War he was the commissioner for the implementation of the total war effort in the Sudetenland .
After the end of the war, his track was initially lost until he reappeared in Berlin as Max Richter in 1947 . Finally he became managing director of Opal-Strumpfwerke GmbH in Hamburg.
