Philipp Hügly (born December 30, 1879 in Haßloch ; † January 29, 1963 there ) was a German politician ( SPD / USPD / KPD ). He was a member of the Bavarian State Parliament (1920–1924).

Life

Hügly attended elementary school from 1887 to 1894 and then worked as a day laborer, miner, metalworker and factory worker until 1908. In 1908 he found a job as a railroad worker with the Palatinate Railways in Haßloch.

In 1899 he joined the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD). From 1914 to 1923 he was a member of the local council in Haßloch. In 1917, Hügly persuaded the entire SPD parliamentary group to convert to the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany (USPD) and himself became chairman of the USPD's local association in Hassloch. In June 1920 he was elected to the Bavarian State Parliament for the USPD, to which he was a member until 1924. He was a member of the Submissions and Complaints Committee and the Pay Regulations Committee. In December 1922, Hügly switched to the SPD parliamentary group. In 1924 he joined the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) and in 1928 became a member of the Palatinate district leadership. In March 1933 he was a candidate of the KPD for the Reichstag , after which he spent four weeks from March 10 to April 8, 1933 in so-called “ protective custody ”. Hügly was laid off as a worker at the Reichsbahn repair shop in Ludwigshafen in March 1933 and did not find work again until 1937 at the Duttenhöfer company in Haßloch.

After the end of the war in 1945, Hügly was again an employee of the Palatinate district leadership of the KPD. From 1946 to 1956 he was a member of the Haßloch local council and until 1952 there was also second alderman. In 1951 he ran unsuccessfully for the KPD for the Rhineland-Palatinate state parliament.
