Franz Feuerstein

Franz Feuerstein (born October 15, 1866 in Stuttgart ; † May 31, 1939 there ) was a German SPD politician . From 1907 to 1933 he represented various Württemberg electoral districts in the Württemberg state parliament and in the Reichstag .

The evangelical Feuerstein attended primary school in Stuttgart from 1873 to 1880 and then the advanced training school. From 1881 to 1884 he completed an apprenticeship as a printer. From 1885 he was a member and then from 1899 to 1902 district head of the Association of German Book Printers . He worked as a journalist and editor for politically left-wing, trade union and cooperative publications, including 1902 to 1904 as the editor in charge of the SPD daily Schwäbische Tagwacht and from 1904 on the Württembergischer Genossenschaftsblatt (and its successor from 1920, Der Genossenschafter ), the Organ of the Association of Württemberg Consumers, of which he was a board member since 1904. From 1919 to 1932 Feuerstein was a member of the General Council of the Central Association of German Consumers . From 1928 to 1932 he was a deputy member of the Württemberg State Court.

In 1893, Feuerstein joined the SPD. From 1907 to 1918 Feuerstein was a member of the Chamber of Deputies of the Württemberg state parliament . In the Reichstag election in 1907 he ran in the Heilbronn constituency , but was defeated, which he attributed to the lack of a social democratic newspaper in Heilbronn that could support the SPD candidates. At his suggestion, the productive cooperative Vereinsdruckerei was founded in the same year, which from 1908 published the Heilbronn SPD newspaper Neckar-Echo , with whose support Feuerstein in the Reichstag election in 1912 for the constituency of Württemberg 3 ( Heilbronn , Besigheim , Brackenheim , Neckarsulm ) in the Reichstag was elected. Feuerstein, who received 36.7% of the vote in the main ballot, won the runoff election (56.0%) thanks to the support of the Progressive People's Party . From 1919 to 1920 Feuerstein had a mandate in the Württemberg constitutional state assembly . In 1920 he was re-elected to the Reichstag , this time for constituency 34 (Württemberg). From 1928 until the beginning of the dictatorship in 1933 he was again a member of the Württemberg state parliament .
