Life

Albrecht was born in Altenburg, Saxe-Meiningen on January 12, 1900. He completed the Realgymnasium in 1918. Afterwards, he volunteered for the German Army and joined the Anhaltische Infanterie-Regiment 93 as a Fahnenjunker. In 1919, he passed his final high school examination in Halle and became a member of the Freikorps Halle and Freikorps Anhalt.

In September 1919, Albrecht was assigned to Reichswehr Infanterie-Regiment 49 as an officer candidate (Fahnenjunker-Gefreiter). He was a member of the antisemitic organisations Reichshammerbund (founded by the German author Theodor Fritsch) and the Deutschvölkischer Schutz-und Trutzbund. Between 1919 and 1925, Albrecht was an agricultural worker, apprentice, and a civil servant in Holstein. He was also an agriculture student in Berlin, Rostock and Giessen.

In 1920, Albrecht helped to organize the German Social Party in Berlin. Between 1923 and 1925, he was successively Gruppenführer (group leader), Zugführer (platoon leader) and Fahnenträger (standard bearer) in the Nationsozialistische Hundertschaft Charlottenburg (later Sturm 33, Maikowski).

In 1925, Albrecht received his doctorate (phil.agr.) degree and, in 1926–27, he volunteered as an administrator in Vogtland. In 1926, Albrecht was a candidate for the parliament in Saxony after having joined the NSDAP in the same year. From 1927 onwards, he was a public speaker for the Nazi Party and a financial adviser. In addition, from 1924 he was a contributor to the national-socialist newspaper Völkischer Beobachter.

In July 1930, Albrecht was nominated as a Gauleiter of Mecklenburg-Lübeck and in September he became a member of the Reichstag for Dresden-Bautzen. He voluntarily resigned as Gauleiter in 1931 and from 1931 to 1933 he was a chairman of the Faction for Economics in the Reichstag and deputy chairman of the Committee of Supply. He was a member of the Economic Counsellors for the Reich-Leadership and in 1933 was deputy to the Reichsrat (Reich-Counselor) – Thüringen. He was also Special Representative of the Thüringen Government in Berlin. In 1933 he was also a member of the Kleinen und Grossen Arbeitskonvents of the Deutsche Arbeitsfront (DAF), and a member of the Verwaltungsrats der Reichspost.
