Richard Schuster

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Richard Schuster (* 1836 ; † 1900 ) was a Protestant pastor and superintendent who fought against social democracy in journalism.

Life

Schuster was vicar in Nieder-Weidbach in Central Hesse from 1864 to 1869 , then until 1872 clergy of the Inner Mission in Karlsruhe (travel agent for the South West German Conference for Inner Mission in Stuttgart) and then until 1876 pastor in Stuttgart. In Duisburg he was third Reformed pastor from 1876, second from 1883 and superintendent from 1891 to 1900.

In the middle of the 1870s, at the time of the "start-up swindle ... and the riotous social democracy ", he wrote the text What promise the Social Democrats , about which on January 19, 1875 in the great hall of the Stuttgart Liederhalle in front of two to three thousand listeners discussed publicly for almost six hours. He then created the anti-social democratic source collection Die Social-Demokratie. Represented as sources according to their nature and agitation . This collection of quotes from socialist writings was a popular weapon of action by opponents of social democracy and was reviewed in numerous magazines. The book served the later Prussian Interior Minister Botho zu Eulenburg at the beginning of 1876 as a source for his Reichstag speech against the efforts of social democracy.
