Biography

Bernhard Quandt (14 April 1903 – 2 August 1999) was a German politician and party functionary of the Socialist Unity Party (SED). Quandt became politically active in the waning years of the Weimar Republic for the Communist Party of Germany (KPD), spending several years in the Sachsenhausen and Dachau concentration camps during Nazi rule. He moved to the Soviet occupation zone after the war, where he became a SED functionary. He served as the last Minister-President of Mecklenburg before its dissolution and thereafter as the longtime First Secretary of the Bezirk Schwerin SED before being forced into retirement in 1974.
