Life

Oswald Hillebrand was born the son of a master mason. After elementary school, he attended a community school and then graduated from the teacher training college in Opava. He was originally a candidate for teaching, but turned to political work at a young age and actively campaigned for social democratic ideas. It was primarily his rhetorical skills that attracted the attention of the party leadership and Seliger appointed him party secretary to Teplitz before going to Karlsbad as editor of the "popular will". Hillebrand was active within the party as a district representative of the West Bohemian Social Democrats, was a delegate of the Socialist Workers' International and was a member of the state party representation of Bohemia. Due to his political activities for the Social Democratic Party, he was also convicted several times. Hillebrand ran in the Reichsrat election in 1907 for one in the House of Representatives, but could not achieve a mandate. In the Reichsrat election in 1911 he stepped again, this time in the electoral district of Bohemia 97 , where he was just able to prevail against a candidate from the German Radical Party . He was a member of the House of Representatives until 1918 and, as a mandate of a German-speaking constituency after the end of the monarchy, was also a member of the Provisional National Assembly between October 21, 1918 and February 16, 1919. He was elected to the Czechoslovak Senate in the 1920 elections and was a member of the body until his death. He died at the age of 47 in a sanatorium in Veleslavín near Prague.
