Ludwig Aßner

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ludwig Aßner (* 1889 in Landsberg am Lech ; † unknown, after 1933 ) was a German politician ( Völkischer Block ). Among other things, he was a member of the Bavarian State Parliament .

Live and act

After the November Revolution of 1918, Aßner worked temporarily as Kurt Eisner's personal chauffeur .

Aßner later switched from the Communists to the National Socialists , where he acted as a radical “priest agitator”. In 1924 he was elected to the Bavarian State Parliament as a candidate for the Völkisch Block . However, he resigned his mandate on June 5, 1924. Since Aßner was sentenced to four months in prison shortly before the election, he was never able to exercise his mandate. Aßner's line-up met the violent protest of Adolf Hitler , who was also imprisoned at the time. His successor in parliament was Xaver Hirschauer .

In 1933, Aßner was noticed again when the Bavarian Legation reported in Berlin that he had issued a curious death threat against Hitler, who had recently been appointed Chancellor, on the grounds that Hitler was a complete madman who would lead the country into misery, what he, Aßner, would prevent by his deed. The threat was rejected as unfounded, however, when Aßner declared his willingness to give up his plans in exchange for a very large sum of money.
