Life

Otto Fried was born in Neunkirchen and was a trained mechanical engineer . He owned a lime works in Börsborn near Homburg and was politically active. He was a founding member of the Neunkirchen local group of the NSDAP and sat for the party in the city council and in the Ottweiler district assembly. Fried had intrigued against Gauleiter Jakob Jung and turned against the party leadership on the question of cooperation and combating the government commission of the Saar region . He accused the party leadership of “cowardice in front of the enemy”. On August 21, 1928, he was accused by the government commission of defamation against Bartholomäus Koßmann and sentenced to two months in prison. This act endangered the existence of the NSDAP. In addition, Fried began to give orders to local groups on his own initiative, agitated against Gottfried Feder's Saardeutsche Volksstimme and made mistakes in the party work. On December 5, 1929, he was therefore formally expelled from the party. An application for readmission was rejected in 1930.

Fried, who was particularly involved in the Saar pensioner issue, now began to appear together with the communist forces in Saarland at protest events. For the district election in 1932 he ran with his own list, which "consisted entirely of retired miners". He achieved an average of 0.9% of the votes in the country, although he was ahead of the NSDAP in Wiebelskirchen with 8.6%, Fischbach with 3.6% and Quiicher with 6.8%. He achieved the best results in Altstadt and Limbach with 16.2% and 30.6% respectively. However, he missed the seat in the National Council

After the elections he is said to have turned to the KPD . Nothing is known about his further fate.
