Julius Rosemann (born November 8, 1878 in Essen , † May 4, 1933 in Hamm ) was a German politician (SPD; USPD).

Live and act

After attending elementary school, Rosemann earned his living as a miner. Around 1895 he joined the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). In 1905 he married.

During the First World War , Rosemann left the SPD to join the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany (USPD). From June 1920 to May 1924 he sat for them as a member of the first Reichstag of the Weimar Republic , in which he represented constituency 25 (Düsseldorf-Ost). In the following years Rosemann worked as a union employee in Hamm.

After the " seizure of power " by the National Socialists in the spring of 1933, Rosemann was arrested on May 2nd. After severe abuse, he committed suicide in Hammer Prison on May 4th. In contrast, a contemporary source claims that Rosemann was shot while in custody.
