Leopold Winarsky

Leopold Winarsky (born April 20, 1873 in Brno , Austria-Hungary , † November 22, 1915 in Vienna ) was an Austrian politician ( Social Democratic Workers' Party ) and a member of the Reichsrat .

Life

The son of a master upholsterer lost his father at the age of three and then moved to Vienna with his mother. During his apprenticeship as an upholsterer, Winarsky joined the workers' education association Landstrasse and initiated the association of young workers . After a political imprisonment that lasted several months, he became a health insurance employee.

In 1898 he became an employee of the central party secretariat. In 1906 Winarsky became the first social democratic councilor in Brigittenau and a year later he became a member of the Reichsrat. The rights of apprentices were particularly important to him in his political work. Winarsky was drafted into the military in 1914, but released a year later because of an illness to which he soon succumbed. He was buried in the Vienna Central Cemetery.

Winarsky was considered a highly educated autodidact who dealt intensively with the theories of the labor movement. In the early 1920s, Winarsky's private library was acquired by the Social Science Study Library of the Chamber for Workers and Salaried Employees for Vienna .
