Richard Knorre (20 November 1900 – 28 September 1964) was a Sudeten German politician.
Biography
editKnorre was born on 20 November 1900 in Mährisch Ostrau.[1][2] He worked as a clerk in Rýmařov.[2] Knorre was the leader of the Sudeten German Homeland Front (SdHF) in Rýmařov.[3] He was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in the 1935 Czechoslovak parliamentary election from the Olomouc electoral district, as a candidate of the Sudeten German Party (SdP). In the SdP Knorre belonged to the Aufbruchkreis faction.[1] By late 1937 he was subject to a disciplinary process in the party, in connection with the expulsion of Rudolf Kasper from the party. On 1 November 1938, he became a member of the NSDAP.[1]
As of 1939, he was the kreisobmann of the German Labour Front (DAF) in Landkreis Mährisch Trübau.[4] His career in DAF and NSDAP was cut short. On 13 September 1939, the High Inspection Office of DAF in Berlin issued a decision, stating that Knorre's management of his local DAF organization had been 'negligent'. On 12 November 1939, the Mährisch Trübau District Court issued a warning to Knorre, whereby he would be removed from office in the party for a period of three years.[1]
After World War II Knorre lived in Duisburg and Cologne. He died in Cologne on 28 September 1964.[1]
