Heinrich Pieper (politician, 1881)
Heinrich Pieper (born August 27, 1881 in Recklinghausen , † November 15, 1960 in Holzen ) was a German miner and politician (SPD, USPD).
Life
After attending primary school , Pieper worked as a miner. He practiced this profession in various mines until at least 1920. As a young man, Pieper joined the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) and the free trade union workers' movement in 1901 . He was active in agitation and organization for both of them early on.
During the First World War , Pieper moved from the SPD to the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany (USPD), a newly founded party that was mainly recruited from members of the left wing of the SPD and formed because of opposition to the war policy of the SPD leadership.
In the Reichstag election of June 1920 Pieper was elected as a USPD candidate in the first Reichstag of the Weimar Republic , to which he belonged until May 1924 as a representative of constituency 20 (Westphalia-South). In 1922 he had returned to the SPD, whose parliamentary group he also joined. In 1925, Pieper became party secretary of the SPD for the Dortmund Horde.
After 1933 Pieper was repeatedly arrested. From 1950 he was mayor of Holzen.
