Gustav Trunk

Gustav Trunk (24 July 1871 in Waldprechtsweier - 23 April 1936 in Karlsruhe) was a three-time President of Baden.

He was a lawyer by occupation and was a member of the German Centre Party.

In 1897, Gustav Trunk married Emma Eppel in Baden-Baden.

Heavily influenced by his model, Franz Xavier Lenders, Trunk joined the Centre Party.

On 14 August 1920 the Centre party defeated the Social Democratic Party of Germany in the Baden elections and Trunk became State President, succeeding the centre-leftist Anton Geiss.
