Hugo Karl Lindemann (born August 9, 1867 in Jaguarão ( Brazil ), † February 19, 1949 in Bensheim ) was a German university professor and social democratic politician. He published under the pseudonym C. Hugo until 1901 .

Life

Hugo Lindemann was the son of the wealthy emigrant Rudolf Lindemann (1834-1889), who emigrated to Brazil in the 1850s and returned to Germany in 1872. He attended the Lyceum in Ludwigsburg and then the " Kaiser Wilhelm Gymnasium in Hanover ". From 1884 to 1889 Lindemann studied philosophy and classical philology in Göttingen , Bonn , Munich and Kiel with Wilhelm Wilmanns , Hermann Usener , Franz Bücheler , Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Moellendorff , Peter Wilhelm Forchhammer , Friedrich Bechtel , Karl Dilthey , August Fick , Friedrich Blass , Theodor Möbius u. a. In 1889 he received his doctorate as Dr. phil. in Kiel with Richard Foerster and Friedrich Vogt . From 1897 he worked as a specialist writer in the fields of local and social policy.

Between 1892 and 1896 he worked with Carl Stegmann in the British Museum to compile the Handbook of Socialism . The authors also turned to Friedrich Engels and asked for a personal interview with Engels, who, however, could not make up his mind to accept the invitation. At the same time he made contact with Karl Kautsky and Eduard Bernstein . He also made contact with the “ Society of Fabians ”.

Between 1893 and 1902 he wrote 23 articles and five reviews for the theoretical journal of social democracy Die Neue Zeit . He was a long-time employee of the Socialist Monthly Issues (37 articles between 1902 and 1927).

Lindemann specialized in local politics . For many years he was the editor of the Municipal Yearbook (1908 to 1932), the Concise Dictionary of Municipal Sciences (1918 to 1927) and the Cologne Social Policy Quarterly (1920 to 1930). In 1916 he completed his habilitation and became a lecturer in municipal science at the Technical University of Stuttgart . From October 1919 to September 1933, Lindemann was director alongside Leopold von Wiese and Theodor Brauer at the institute for social science research, which was largely initiated by Mayor Konrad Adenauer , and from 1920 to 1933 he was also an honorary professor at the University of Cologne .

His scientific work was closely linked to his political work in the SPD , especially with local political issues. Between 1900 and 1909 he was a member of the municipal council in Degerloch (near Stuttgart). From 1908 to 1919 he was a member of the citizens' committee and local council in Stuttgart . As a committee speaker, he played a key role in the Württemberg building regulations of 1909.

He was also a member of the Reichstag from 1903 to December 1906 , where he represented the constituency 10 of Württemberg: Gmünd , Göppingen , Welzheim , Schorndorf . In the first ballot, some of the Social Democrats voted for the Center Party's candidate so that he could get into the runoff election. The tactic worked: In the runoff election, Lindemann won against the center candidate with the support of the Liberals and received 65.13% of the votes cast. Lindemann only gave one speech in the legislative period in the Reichstag on February 15, 1906.

From 1906 to 1918 he was a member of the Second Chamber of the Württemberg Land estates and from 1919 to 1920 of the Constituent Assembly of Württemberg .

At the Munich party congress in 1902, Lindemann presented the report on “local politics” also at the Bremen party congress in 1904. In 1907, together with other party comrades, he approved a state budget for the first time. At the party congress in Jena in 1905, he tried together with 80 delegates, mainly South German revisionists, to change the party's statute in line with a federal structure. The idea failed, however. Lindemann was one of the right-wing leaders within the SPD even before the war. He was invited to a secret preparatory meeting for the Leipzig party congress in 1909 from Erhard Auer with a letter of August 24, 1909 to the “Comrades who want to prevent party-damaging Krakehl.” In addition, contrary to social democratic tradition, he also attended a parliamentarian visit to King Wilhelm II part and then defended his behavior because the king was a constitutional prince.

He ran on May 12, 1911 against the candidates of the German Party of Württemberg Julius Keck and the candidate of the Progressive People's Party Karl Lautenschlager for the office of Lord Mayor of Stuttgart . Rosa Luxemburg wrote on May 9th: “With Lindemann's candidacy, the Stuttgart comrades caused the party the greatest surprise [... and] this surprise [was] by no means of a happy nature. […] But the details of that Stuttgart meeting on May 4th bring even more surprises. In response to Comrade Dr. Lindemann said that after his detailed examination of the organizational decisions with them, the exercise of the mayor's office was impossible, since he needed full freedom in the exercise of representative duties, namely also in official dealings with the crown, he was expressly granted the freedom by the assembly, to trample the organizational decisions of the party. ”Keck received 3,366 votes, Lindemann 12,278 votes and was thus just behind Karl Lautenschlager, who received 13,154 votes. This candidacy was the only one of a Social Democrat until 1919 for the office of Lord Mayor in the German Empire.

August 1911 he and the Social Democratic MPs Franz Feuerstein and Karl Hildenbrand took part in a parliamentary reception given by the Württemberg Prime Minister Karl von Weizsäcker . A meeting of Stuttgart party comrades condemned this in a resolution. Johann Heinrich Wilhelm Dietz was so annoyed that, as chairman of the Württemberg state party organization, he resigned as chairman of the meeting. At the party congress in 1911, Lindemann submitted a motion that the acquisition of colonies could be in the interests of the German workers because other colonial powers "would" "restrict" the "scope of the German economy to an unbearable degree".

Before the November Revolution, Lindemann became Minister for Economic Demobilization in the Liesching cabinet and then Minister of Labor in Württemberg. From January 10 to November 1, 1919 he was Minister of the Interior there. From 1918 to 1933 he was a board member of the German Association for Public and Private Welfare . Between 1928 and 1933 he was a city councilor in Cologne .

In April 1933 Lindemann was given leave of absence for political reasons and his teaching license was revoked on September 11, 1933. The law to restore the civil service served as the legal basis for this . Since 1933 Lindemann led a quiet scholarly existence in Bensheim ad Bergstrasse, as the Munzinger archive reports. Franz Osterroth reports on a letter from Lindemann to Wilhelm Keil from 1942 in which he asked himself "how one can teach people a higher morality again after they have been drilled into beasts for so long". In 1946 the Cologne Law Faculty honored him with the Dr. jur. hc Lindemann had an accident on a business trip on February 19, 1949. The SPD honored him at the Hamburg party congress in May 1950.

He was since 1896 with Anna Marie Rosalie Sara, geb. Fehn (1866–1941) who was active in the Cologne women's movement. The marriage resulted in two daughters.
