Live and act
Pfaff took part in the First World War as a volunteer . During the war he was promoted to officer and seriously wounded. For the year 1920 it is documented that he appeared as an opponent of the war at the inauguration of a memorial to the fallen of war and described the dead as victims of the war.
In the Weimar Republic , Pfaff belonged to the Communist Party of Germany . Based on his profession as a teacher, he was therefore also known as the “Red Schoolmaster”.
From August 1929 to September 1930 Pfaff was a member of the Reichstag in Berlin as a member of constituency 12 (Thuringia). He did not receive his mandate by direct election, but as a substitute for Emil Höllein , the actual holder of the Thuringian mandate, who had died in August 1929.
