Life
Schliebs, the son of a factory worker, learned the profession of printer and took part in the First World War as a soldier in 1917/18 . He became a member of the USPD in 1919 , joined the VKPD at the end of 1920 and was head of the KJVD sub-district of Zwickau . He was imprisoned from February to April 1924. After his release he worked as a miner in Waldenburg in Silesia . In 1925 he became a full-time editor of the KPD newspaper “Der Kampf” in Chemnitz . From 1926 to 1928 he was a student at the International Lenin School in Moscow . He then worked in the agitprop department of the central committee of the KPD, then until 1931 agitprop or organ leader of the KPD-BL Halle-Merseburg . After a time as editor of the “Workers' Voice” in Dresden, at the turn of the year 1932/33 he was again an employee in the apparatus of the Central Committee of the KPD.
After Hitler came to power , Schliebs was in protective custody from April to July 1933 , was arrested again in December 1933 and sentenced by the People's Court on December 7, 1935 to two and a half years in prison for preparing a highly treasonable undertaking. After his release in June 1936, he was unemployed. In 1938 he found work as a sales representative for Singer sewing machines . In August 1944 he was arrested again and taken to Neuengamme concentration camp .
After his liberation he went back to Saxony in the Soviet occupation zone . From June 1945 to April 1946 he was a member of the secretariat of the KPD state leadership in Saxony and from April 1946 to November 1951 secretary for advertising and training for the SED state committee in Saxony. In 1946 he became a member of the Saxon state parliament and was a member of the council of elders, the standing committee and the committee for youth and popular education. During the second electoral term he was from November 1950 to March 1951 chairman of the SED parliamentary group. On May 21, 1951, he resigned from his mandate. In October 1949 he was elected a member of the provisional chamber of the GDR , of which he was a member until November 1950.
In April 1951, Schliebs received a severe reprimand from the Central Party Control Commission (ZPKK) and was no longer allowed to do cadre work and be employed in Saxony because he had "business connections to enemies of the party and the state". Since he ignored this decision and refused the offered position as an editor in the Office for Information in Thuringia, he was expelled from the SED on October 24, 1951 by the State Party Control Commission (LPKK) Saxony. His objection to this decision was rejected on December 7, 1951 by the ZPKK. Schliebs died soon afterwards - one day after his 53rd birthday.
