Leopold Spengemann (born January 12, 1816 in Hanover ; † September 1, 1888 ibid) was a German plumber and was a leader in the education of workers as a " teacher " .

Life

Born at the time of the Kingdom of Hanover , Leopold Spengemann experienced the beginnings of industrialization and the emergence of a working class for which the entrepreneur Johann Egestorff in Linden , at the time a suburb of the residential city of Hanover, laid the first foundations with his businesses and from which his son Georg Egestorff created the first foundations then built "the largest industrial complex in the kingdom".

After six book printers had founded the "Buchdruckerleseverein" on August 23, 1845 , it was renamed the Hanover Workers' Association on April 1 of the revolutionary year of 1848 . The association is considered to be the nucleus of the Hanoverian labor movement , but according to its motto "Through education for light and freedom", it was more of a "workers' education association".

After the birth of his son Wilhelm (* 1851), Spengemann, who, according to the Hanover city directory of 1868, earned his living as a factory worker and lived at Brandstrasse 3 II , was later named by the Hanover Workers' Association as the "father" of the Association, as a tireless fighter for education and morality . Spengemann was the Workers' Association honorary member, posthumously dedicated to the club dedicated to the factory workers an honorary grave in the city cemetery Engesohde .
