Charles Frey was a Politician Alsatian, born on February 26th, 1888 and dead on October 14th, 1955 with Strasbourg.
In 1935 he was elected mayor of Strasbourg. The city since 1929 was directed by a heteroclite coalition of communist, ex-Communists and the clerical ones, linked after a fashion by the autonomism. Skilfully Charles Frey succeeds in detaching from them the moderate ones directed by Michel Walters, frightened by the drift pro-Nazi of the mayor Charles Hueber (death in 1942, this ex-Communist was to be buried with the honors by the occupant). Between the two moderate and national turns concluded an alliance which obtained twenty seats against sixteen by the old majority.
When the call took place, sixteen votes thus answered “Ja!” and twenty “Present! ”, Charles Frey was elected mayor of Strasbourg and the Tricolor returned to float on the Town hall where had replaced for six years the red and white Alsatian flag, the Rot Wiss. In 1939 Charles Frey had the painful duty to deal with the evacuation of his city; to the Release it returned there and continued to chair it until 1955.
He was elected with four resumptions appointed of the Low-Rhine to the National Assembly, where he sat more than 13 years.
