Cabinet Frölich II

The Frölich II cabinet formed the state government of the state of Thuringia from October 16, 1923 to December 7, 1923. It was the second state government with the participation of the KPD in Germany after the Zeigner cabinet . On November 2, 1923, Reichswehr troops occupied the state capital Weimar on the orders of the Reich government to take action against the proletarian hundreds and to prevent an allegedly threatened communist putsch. General Walther Reinhardt placed the Thuringian State Police under his command on November 6th . As in Saxony, the Frölich government anticipated its dissolution through the execution of the Reich by the resignation of the three KPD government members. Prime Minister Frölich resigned three weeks later. Until February 21, 1924, Frölich and the SPD ministers remained in office.
