Life

In 1869 he joined the ADAV and soon became a leading functionary of the party in Elberfeld. From 1884 Harm sat for the constituency of Düsseldorf 2 (Elberfeld) in the Reichstag due to the Socialist Act, initially as an individual candidate, later as a member of the SAP or the SPD . During the Elberfeld secret society trial (November 1889) he was sentenced to six months in prison. Despite this, Harm, who was prevented from campaigning because he was in prison, was re-elected to the Reichstag in February 1890. Harm represented the constituency of Elberfeld-Barmen there until 1898. He was replaced by the Social Democrat Hermann Molkenbuhr .
