Adolf Sabor

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Adolf Sabor (born September 26, 1841 in Wollstein ; † February 27, 1907 in Frankfurt am Main ) was a teacher and social democratic politician . From 1884 to 1890 he represented the urban district of Frankfurt am Main in the German Reichstag . He was the first social democrat to be elected to this office in Frankfurt.

Live and act

Sabor comes from a Jewish family - his father was the cantor Lippmann Selig Sabor . Adolf Sabor visited the school in Breslau and began studying at the local university in philosophy , languages and political science , but later moved to Berlin over. Without completing his studies, he was a candidate for teaching in 1871/72 and was then a scientific assistant teacher at the Jewish Philanthropin secondary school in Frankfurt. At the end of 1873 he was dismissed for political and ideological reasons because he gave political lectures in workers' associations. Until 1884 he was a private teacheractive. He resigned from Judaism and called himself a "dissident". At the party congress of the SPD in Gotha in 1876, he directed sharp attacks on Sonnemann. Sabort wrote as a journalist for the "Frankfurter Beobachter".

From 1872 Sabor was a member of the SDAP , then after the party unification a member of the SAP and from 1890 the SPD . In 1882 he ran for the first time as a social democrat for city council election in Frankfurt, but he was unable to win a seat. When there were violent attacks by the police against the mourners in Frankfurt at the funeral of the social democratic landlord Hugo Hiller, Sabor, among others, set up a commission of inquiry that led to the conviction of some police officers.

In the Reichstag election in 1884 , Sabor succeeded for the first time in removing his Reichstag mandate from the left-wing liberal Leopold Sonnemann in the Frankfurt constituency . Sabor received 12,166 votes in the runoff election and Sonnemann 10,777 votes because the National Liberals supported the social democratic candidate. Supposedly, Bismarck is said to have telegraphed that he preferred Sabor to Sonnemann, who opposed Prussia.

In the sixth legislative period of the Reichstag, Sabor belonged to a committee of seven of the social democratic parliamentary group for the preparation of a social policy bill. Members were also Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Dietz , Ignaz Auer , Karl Grillenberger , Heinrich Meister , Georg von Vollmar and later August Bebel . In the dispute between the SPD parliamentary group over the steamer subsidy and the role of the newspaper Der Sozialdemokrat , Sabor was violently attacked by Karl Frohme .

In 1885 Sabor received a significant inheritance, probably from his mother-in-law Regine Trier, née. Strauss (1818–1885), who allowed him to devote himself entirely to political and parliamentary activities. Sabor also supported the publication of the journal Die Neue Zeit financially.

On December 16, 1886, Sabor was expelled from Frankfurt as part of the minor state of siege of the Socialist Act. Sabor has lived in Berlin since then. Nevertheless, he defended his Frankfurt mandate against the national liberal Albert Metzler in the Reichstag election in 1887 . In 1889 he decided not to run again for health reasons. He was elected city councilor of Berlin in 1892.

Two quotes from MP Sabor found their way into Büchmann's Winged Words . While discussing a motion from Carl Ausfeld to amend Article 32 of the Reich Constitution on December 17, 1884, Sabor declared: “The Chancellor does not want the right to vote as it is now to remain valid, even if it is given to him gives in, he is even ready to approve the diets . That gives a deep look (serenity) into the machine, - gives a glimpse into the intellectual workshop in which the social reform is being prepared. "During a consultation on the extension of the Socialist Law of March 13, 1889, he declared:" We have mine Gentlemen, in the last few days you have heard a lot in the semi-official press about the fact that the gentlemen from the Federal Council are taking this opportunity to pour us clear wine about what is going on. Something is going on, but you don't really know what ”.

Sabor was married to Martha, geb. Trier and had a daughter Regina . Since he suffered from a heart condition, he often went to Koenigstein im Taunus and Wiesbaden for a cure.

With the Reichstag election in 1890, Sabor left the Reichstag. His successor in the constituency of Frankfurt was Wilhelm Schmidt . Sabor withdrew into private life and lived again in Frankfurt after the socialist law was repealed. He was a member of the administration of the Joseph and Clara Trier Foundation . He died in late February 1907. On March 2, 1907, he was buried in the Frankfurt main cemetery. The Frankfurter Zeitung paid tribute to him with a detailed obituary.

  5. ↑ August Bebel : “I am in doubt who Bismarck hated more personally, whether Eugen Richter or Sonnemann. I believe the latter, because Eugen Richter was always a good Prussian in spite of all the opposition, but in Sonnemann he hated the South German anti-Prussian, the 'republican', from whose organ, the 'Frankfurter Zeitung', he claimed that it was more with the French Republic as sympathizing with the German Reich. So it came [...] into the runoff election [... that] Bismarck, when asked by the Frankfurt National Liberals who they should vote for, had an answer: 'Prince wishes Sabor'.
