Members of Parliament Note: A handbook or directory in book form for the members of the 1st legislative period of the People's Chamber (Volkskammer) is not yet available. Through the evaluated sources, a relatively high percentage of completeness has been achieved. However, there might still be missing members. Especially the section labeled "Annotations" in the table should be considered a critical source. Only the entered dates of death can be considered as confirmed. The sources for information regarding leaving the parliament are mostly based on session protocols. These represent the official interpretation. The actual reasons for leaving (arrest, party expulsion, etc.) are rarely mentioned in the protocols. Discrepancies in timing can also occur. As the People's Chamber had extended session breaks, there was often a significant time span between the reason and the notification of mandate loss. Only the data for mandate successors can be regarded as confirmed, although it's not excluded that these members were already active in People's Chamber committees outside of the parliamentary sessions before official mandate recognition.
