Life

Segitz was a trained tin caster. From 1890 to 1894 he was editor of the Franconian Daily Mail , from 1894 (first full-time) worker secretary of the social democracy in Nuremberg. As a member of the SPD, he sat in the Bavarian State Parliament in the Chamber of Deputies from 1898 and in the German Reichstag from 1898 to 1903 and from 1912 to 1924 .

After the assassination of the first Prime Minister of the Free State of Bavaria , Kurt Eisner , Segitz was proclaimed as his successor by the Council Congress on March 1, but the Landtag did not recognize him and on March 17 elected Johannes Hoffmann (also SPD) as an advocate of a pluralistic parliamentary democracy to the Prime Minister of Bavaria .

In 1931 a street in the Carl Legien residential area in Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg , which was newly built by the trade unions, was given its name, but was renamed by the National Socialists in 1933 after the " seizure of power " . In 1947 the Segitzdamm was named after him in the “trade union quarter ” of Berlin-Kreuzberg . In 2005, the State Vocational School III in Fürth was renamed the Martin Segitz School after him.
