Andreas Zitzlsperger

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Andreas Zitzlsperger (born March 27, 1891 in Hebertshausen ) was a German politician ( Völkischer Block ). Among other things, he was a member of the Bavarian State Parliament.

Live and act

In his youth, Zitzlsperger attended elementary school and secondary school in Passau . Later he was trained at the commercial college in Mannheim . In the 1920s he worked as a customs secretary in Würzburg .

In 1924 Zitzlsperger was elected as a candidate for the Völkisch Block in the Bavarian state parliament, to which he was to belong as a member until 1928 (elected in the constituencies of Zweibrücken, Pirmasens, Bergzabern, Frankenthal and Kaiserslautern).

In 1923 Zitzlsperger worked as a money messenger for the main relief agency for the Palatinate , a body based in Mannheim and Heidelberg that - financed by the Reich and Bavaria - ran propaganda against the French occupation of the Palatinate and the separatists there . In 1924 Zitzlsperger was involved in smuggling counterfeit director's francs into the occupied area. Since the main aid agency was involved in the counterfeiting, it was dissolved by the Baden government in May 1924 . Based on a conversation between Zitzlsperger and Reich Finance Minister Hans Luther in Heidelberg, Baden authorities assumed that the highest Reich authorities knew about the counterfeit money or were involved in them.

An article drawn by Zitzlsperger in the Fränkischer Kurier of August 22, 1925, rejected allegations made by Berthold Jacob in the Weltbühne against the main aid agency. According to Jacob, the head of the office, August Ritter von Eberlein , organized the assassination attempt on the Palatinate separatist leader Heinz-Orbis . According to a surviving draft, the article signed by Zitzlsperger came from Eberlein, who described Jacobs' allegations as "warming up old French lies".
