Karl Friedrich "Fritz" Zubeil (born January 11, 1848 in Groß Lessen , district of Grünberg i. Schles. , † December 27, 1926 in Berlin ) was a German politician (SPD; USPD) and a member of the German Reichstag .
Live and act
Zubeil was born the son of a police sergeant and councilman. He attended elementary and trade school in Grünberg from 1855 to 1863. From 1863 to 1866 he trained as a carpenter. From 1868 to 1872, Zubeil belonged to the 35th Infantry Regiment . Then he settled down as a carpenter in Berlin. In 1872, Zubeil also joined the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD).
Zubeil was a city councilor in Berlin from February 13, 1890 to 1901 . In the same year he became a deputy for the first time at an SPD party congress . Due to his political activities, he lost his job as a carpenter, instead he earned his living as an innkeeper from 1890 to 1898. In June 1893, Zubeil entered the Reichstag of the German Empire for the first time for the SPD , and from then on he belonged to it without interruption until November 1918. In later years, Zubeil ran an inn at Lindenstrasse 69 in Berlin. At that time, the SPD party executive, to which Zubeil also belonged, met on the fourth floor of the same building. In 1899, Zubeil became the travel agent of Vorwärts , the central organ of the SPD. He held this position until 1917. He was also a member of the Innkeepers Association and the Woodworkers Association as well as a board member of the Ideal building cooperative .
During the First World War , Zubeil left the SPD and became a member of the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany (USPD), a new party that was mainly composed of representatives of the left wing of the SPD who rejected the war policy of the SPD leadership. Zubeil was temporarily captured during the fighting in the wake of the November Revolution. In January 1919, Zubeil was elected to the Weimar National Assembly as a USPD candidate for constituency 5 (Potsdam 10) . On March 2, 1919, Zubeil opened the first party congress of the USPD after the November Revolution . In June 1920, Zubeil moved into the first Reichstag of the Weimar Republic for constituency 3 ( Potsdam II) . During the following legislative period , Zubeil left the USPD and returned to the SPD in 1922, whose parliamentary group he also joined. In the Reichstag elections of May 1924 and December 1924 , Zubeil was re-elected. After the constituencies were renumbered, he represented constituency 3 (Potsdam II) until his death in December 1926. Since 1921, Zubeil was also an unpaid city councilor in Berlin-Kreuzberg .
Zubeil and his wife Pauline are buried in the Friedrichsfelde central cemetery. After he was reburied in 1951, his grave is on the curtain wall of the Socialist Memorial . Today, Fritz-Zubeil-Strasse in Potsdam is a reminder of Zubeil's life and political activities.
