Paul Stössel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Paul Stössel (born March 14, 1871 in Bromberg ; † unknown) was a German politician (SPD).

Live and act

After attending elementary school in Bromberg, Stössel completed an apprenticeship as an upholsterer from 1886 to 1889 . Around 1890 Stössel joined the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). He also became a member of the trade union movement.

After the November Revolution of 1918, Stössel was elected to the Bydgoszcz Workers 'and Soldiers' Council as trade union secretary.

In January 1919 Stössel was elected to the Weimar National Assembly, in which he represented constituency 8 (Posen). Just one month later, in February 1919, he resigned his mandate in favor of Gertrud Lodahl . Instead, he was a member of the Prussian State Constitutional Assembly from 1919 to 1921 .

Georg Cleinow described Stössel in 1934 as: “a devious, conceited fellow, without any scruples. His main concern seemed to be to appear as a real rough-hewn and to insult and terrorize the German bourgeoisie and officer corps as much as possible. "
