Franz Lipp

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Franz Anton Lipp (born February 9, 1855 in Karlsruhe , † March 18, 1937 in Florence ) was a German journalist, lawyer and politician.

Lipp studied law and philosophy and received his doctorate in Göttingen in 1880 . He worked as a library assistant and was a journalist for the Stuttgart newspaper Der Observer . In 1888 he took over the Heilbronner Zeitung in Heilbronn , which he ran until 1894.

Lipp was the People's Representative for Foreign Affairs ( foreign minister in the same way ) during the first week of the Munich Soviet Republic in April 1919. He was one of the 13 abductees in the Palm Sunday coup against the Soviet Republic on April 13, 1919. The putsch failed due to resistance from the Red Army, which was being established under the command of the communist sailor Rudolf Egelhofer , but Lipp remained in custody for the time being, as the revolutionaries had no access to the places of detention. Since he was obviously mentally ill (he declared war on Switzerland because it did not lend him any locomotives), he was admitted to a psychiatric institution in Erlangen at the end of May 1919 after the military crackdown on the Munich Soviet Republic took place three weeks later , from where he was sent in mid-1920 was released and at the same time expelled from Bavaria.

He then lived in Ulm, Württemberg, before moving to Italy, where he died in 1937.
