About Karl Mache

Lived 1880 – 1944 (aged 63–64). Karl Mache was a politician.

Karl Mache (9 December 1880 – 19 October 1944) was a German politician (SPD). Between 1928 and 1930, he served as a member of the national parliament (Reichstag).

Life Karl Mache was born in Deutsch Lissa, then a small industrial town a short distance to the west of Breslau, as Wrocław was known until 1944/45. Very little is known of his early years. He attended junior and middle school in Breslau between 1886 and 1894. He trained for work in the bakery and confectionery sector and worked as a baker's assistant in various places in central Germany.

In January 1933, the political context changed dramatically when the Nazi Party took power and, through the enabling act, began the process of establishing a one-party dictatorship. In the aftermath of the Reichstag fire, which took place at the end of February, the new government took the opportunity to arrest large numbers of people, including former Reichstag members who had represented left-wing parties. Mache was arrested in March 1933 and detained till December 1933. He was held at Dürrgoy and Lichtenburg concentration camps.
