Emil Rabold

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Emil Rabold (born June 25, 1886 in Wurzbach ; † unknown) was a German social democratic journalist and politician.

Life

He was a metal worker until 1910. He then worked for various social democratic newspapers. These included the Bremer Bürger-Zeitung , the People's Guard from Breslau and the Silesian Mountain Guard from Waldenburg . Between 1912 and 1917 he was editor of the Volksstimme from Cottbus . He also wrote for Die Neue Zeit and other publications.

He switched to the USPD in 1917 and was editor of the party organ Die Freiheit from 1918 to March 1922 . Between 1921 and 1924 he was a member of the Prussian state parliament . In 1921 he supported, among other things, an application to close internment camps for immigrant so-called Eastern Jews . Kurt Tucholsky dedicated the poem Dealers and Heroes to him in 1922.

Rabold took part in the reunification of the USPD and SPD in 1922, but left the SPD in 1923. As a result, he stood out particularly in the campaign to expropriate the princes . He was the editor of the "Communications of the Committee for the Implementation of the Referendum for the Expropriation of the Princes without Compensation". In 1927 he was part of a delegation of writers and artists who visited the Soviet Union to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the October Revolution .

Until 1933 he lived as a journalist and writer in Berlin. Among other things, he has published eleven contributions to the Weltbühne . Rabold was an editor at the beginning of the 1930s for the daily newspaper Welt am Abend and then until 1933 for the republican-oriented weekly newspaper Welt am Montag . Apparently, with his work he incurred the displeasure of the National Socialists . In 1932 Adolf Hitler brought a private lawsuit against Rabold.

After the beginning of the National Socialist rule he was arrested and in the spring of 1933 was imprisoned in Spandau prison . After his release he first emigrated to Czechoslovakia and went to Great Britain in 1938. At times there was an intensive correspondence with Otto Rühle . After 1945 he was no longer politically active and worked as a gardener.
