from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adam Heinrich Ebner (born March 4, 1894 in Neu-Isenburg ; † July 6, 1973 there ) was a German politician (KPD).

Live and act

Ebner was born into a long-established family in Neu-Isenburg. The father, the innkeeper Michael Valentin Ebner, died early, so that the mother, Sophie Marie née Koch, had to continue the common business alone. He attended the Neu-Isenburg elementary school . He then completed an apprenticeship as a mechanic and attended the municipal trade school in Frankfurt am Main . After practical work as a mechanic, Ebner attended the technical training institutes in Offenbach am Main (today the University of Design ) as an operations assistant at the Reichsbahndirektion Frankfurt / Main . He married Anna Marie Christine nee Koch.

Ebner took part in the First World War, in which he was wounded. After the war he joined the USPD and joined the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) with its left wing in 1920 . From 1921 to 1924 Ebner, who had been married since 1921, was a member of the state parliament of the People's State of Hesse for the KPD . After his election to the Reichstag in 1924, he resigned from the state parliament. For him moved Daniel Greiner according to the state parliament. In 1923 he was a delegate of the 8th KPD party congress.

In May 1924, Ebner was elected to the Reichstag as a candidate of the KPD for constituency 33 (Hessen-Darmstadt) , to which he belonged until December 1924. From then on, Ebner's party colleague Greiner took up his mandate in the Hessian state parliament. In the same year he ran for the office of mayor of Neu-Isenburg, but was defeated by 1074 to 2142 votes against the Social Democrat Wilhelm Arnoul. As a supporter of the left wing of the party around Ruth Fischer and Arkadi Maslow , Ebner was expelled from the KPD in 1927 and participated in the establishment of the Lenin League in 1928 . Its local group won four seats in the municipal elections in Neu-Isenburg under Ebner's leadership in 1929; efforts to reunite the local Leninbund group and the KPD were unsuccessful in 1931.

During the Nazi dictatorship he was in protective custody in March – April 1933 and then temporarily under house arrest, after which he worked again for the Reichsbahn and later as an accountant for a uniform factory. After 1945, Ebner worked for the Hessische Landesversicherungsanstalt until his retirement, and remained politically independent.
