German Social Democratic politician. Born in Allenstein (now Olsztyn), he worked as a lawyer before becoming a leader of the East Prussian Social Democratic Party. He became chairman of the party in 1911 and a member of the Imperial Diet in 1912, belonging to the Marxist central faction of the party. When World War I broke out in 1914, he gave a speech in favor of war bonds on behalf of the party from the standpoint of a defensive war, but was later expelled from the party for opposing the continuation of the war. In April 1917, he founded the Independent Social Democratic Party and became its chairman. In November 1918, at the time of the German Revolution, he organized the Council of People's Representatives with Ebert, but resigned in December after clashing with the Social Democratic Party. In 1919, he became a member of the National Diet, but was shot by a reactionary and died on November 17 that same year.
