Carl sorrow
Carl Leid (born December 2, 1867 in Arnstadt , † January 16, 1935 in Berlin , also Karl Leid ) was a German politician of the SPD and the USPD . Leid was district mayor of the former Berlin district of Wedding from 1921 to 1933 .
Life
Leid became a union member in 1884 at the age of 17 and joined the SPD in 1885. He moved to the north of Berlin located district Niederbarnim , where he was chairman of the local branch of the SPD. He later moved to Wedding and lived there on Buttmannstrasse and Brunnenstrasse . Here Leid was the chairman of the Social Democratic electoral association of the 6th Reichstag constituency . From 1901 he worked as an editor at Vorwärts and was elected to the Berlin city council in 1902 . 1904 was determined against him for lese majesty , whereby he lost his office as city councilor. Kurt Eisner reported in Vorwärts on August 16, 1903 about plans for the so-called "Kaiserinsel", in which court circles intended to build a family palace for the German Kaiser on the Pichelswerder peninsula, strictly isolated from the outside world, and to set up a separate Reichstag constituency for this purpose. in which only employees of the crown are allowed to live. This was to rule out the possibility "that the district of the castle would be represented by a Republican". Since these allegations could not be proven, the forward editors Carl Leid were sentenced to nine months and Julius Kaliski to four months for lese majesty.
After his conviction, he was re-elected to the city parliament on May 18, 1905, to which he belonged continuously until 1921.
Leid belonged temporarily to the USPD and was editor of its organ freedom . In 1919 he received a mandate in the Prussian state assembly and was a member of the Prussian state parliament from 1921 . In 1922 he went back to the SPD.
On April 16, 1921, he became district mayor of the newly founded Wedding district of Berlin. The elections for the district assembly held on June 20, 1920 were declared invalid by the Prussian Higher Administrative Court, which is why new elections were held on October 16, 1921. During his time, several pioneering settlements such as the Friedrich-Ebert-Siedlung , the Schillerpark settlement or the Atlantic garden city emerged in Wedding . Leid particularly promoted the grounds of the Rehberge Park , in which the Carl-Leid-Weg dedicated to him is located. On March 14, 1933, he was dismissed from his post by the Nazi regime.
Leid died on January 16, 1935 in Berlin. His grave is in the urn cemetery Seestrasse , Section VIII, 5/165. It is dedicated to the city of Berlin as an honorary grave .
