Life

Hans Meyer, a trained baker, was active in the Revolutionary Trade Union Opposition (RGO) and the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) from 1932 . Because of his resistance to National Socialism , he was arrested after 1933 and sentenced to 15 months in prison. In 1936 he was arrested again and sentenced to two years in prison . In World War II he made on probation his military service in a punishment battalion 999 .

After the war, Hans Meyer worked as an automobile worker at Borgward in Bremen from around 1949 . In May 1951 he became a member of the KPD state secretariat with responsibility for company group and trade union work, which he did not fulfill to the satisfaction of his party. As early as April 1952 he had to self-criticize his way of working and was finally relieved of his post in May 1953 and also expelled from the KPD.

Since the election on October 7, 1951, Hans Meyer belonged to the KPD faction in the Bremen citizenship, which consisted of six people. Here he was only able to develop “little political and personal profile”. At the beginning of 1953 Meyer still took an active part in the meetings of the Bremen citizenship with speeches, from the spring, when several votes on the lifting of his immunity were voted on, he was excused. As the person responsible under press law for a leaflet " KPD ban means terror, war, hardship ", Meyer was to be prosecuted for insulting the Chancellor . The citizenship refused to lift immunity several times. At the meeting of September 23, 1953 Meyer was absent without excuse, after which he announced his resignation from the citizenry. Heinrich Dietrich (KPD) was his successor .

In the 1970s, Hans Meyer was a member of the Communist Federation of West Germany (KBW), for which he ran unsuccessfully in the mayor elections in 1975 and 1979.
