Richert was born in Koszalin/Pommern. During his studies Richert became a member of the Verein Deutscher Studenten Greifswald.[1] In 1920 he published the book "Die Deutsche Bildungseinheit und die höhere Schule", which was the basis of a Prussian school reform (Richertsche Gymnasialreform ). On 18 September 1923 he was appointed Ministerialrat. In 1924/25 he played a decisive role in the reform of the secondary school system. His name is connected with the new "German Secondary School", which focused on the mother tongue instead of the old languages. The "cultural studies subjects" German, history, civics, religion and geography were considered by him to be common to all secondary schools. In 1933, disappointed by the Nazi cultural policy, he handed in his resignation. He was a member and leading politician for education of the German People's Party. From 1919 to 1921 he was a member of the Preußische Landesversammlung .
Richert died in Berlin at age 70.
