Ferdinand Bender (politician)

Ferdinand Bender

Ferdinand Bender (born October 24, 1870 in Halver ; † October 26, 1939 in Berlin-Bohnsdorf ) was an anarchist and later a German Reichstag member ( SPD ).

Until 1897, the then active anarchist spent a total of 32 months in prison. In Magdeburg, where he settled in 1897, he openly broke with anarchism and joined the SPD. From the end of 1901 he worked for the union as a functionary in the Association of Trade, Transport and Traffic Workers in Germany. From 1912 to 1932 he was a member of the Reichstag and from 1919 to 1920 a member of the Weimar National Assembly for the SPD . After the trade unions were broken up in May 1933, he was dismissed from his job and moved to Berlin-Bohnsdorf, where he died in 1939.
