Dr. Emil Seeberger

Emil Seeberger first got to know the "cheerful fraternity life" in the FV Alemannia in his hometown of Bludenz together with his twin brother Franz Xaver, before joining the still forbidden middle school fraternity Clunia Feldkirch in 1909 with the assurance "Confirm that I have joined the catholic student fraternity Clunia completely voluntarily.

After graduating from high school in 1910, the twin brothers moved to Prague to study law and were accepted into the Saxo-Bavaria student fraternity in the same year they graduated. He completed his studies in 1915 with a doctorate in law in Innsbruck. In 1917, he joined the student fraternity Austria Innsbruck. He then enlisted in the 1st Regiment of the Tyrolean Kaiserjäger. He retired from military service due to a serious war injury and was employed by the governor's office in Prague.

After the end of the war, he returned to Vorarlberg, where he took up a position with the district administration of Bludenz. In 1934, he became district governor in Bregenz.

Emil Seeberger was arrested on March 13, 1938 [LGF Vr 195/38] and held for several months. The reason given for his pre-trial detention was that his son had allegedly used binoculars on a school trip that had been confiscated from an illegal Nazi prior to the Anschluss. After numerous interrogations and extensive research, he is released, but is forced to leave the civil service. From 1941 until the end of the war, Emil Seeberger worked as a clerk in Dornbirn. In 1945, he was once again arrested as a hostage, but managed to escape in time.
