Willi Eberlein

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Willi Eberlein (born February 29, 1904 in Hamburg ; † June 30, 1986 ) was a German politician of the Radical Social Freedom Party .

Life and work

Eberlein was a businessman by trade.

Political party

After the Second World War , in 1945 Eberlein was one of the co-founders of the Radical Social Freedom Party , a party that invoked Silvio Gesell's free-economic theses . When this merged with other free-economic organizations in September 1950, he became a member of the merger product Free Social Union .

MP

After he had run in vain for the RSF in 1946, Willi Eberlein was elected as the top candidate for the Hamburg parliament in 1949 because the party had increased to 2.0% of the vote. To this day, he is the only member of the state parliament in Germany who has been elected for a free economic party. In parliament he joined the FDP parliamentary group as an intern. In the 1953 mayor elections, Eberlein and the FSU clearly failed with only 0.7% of the vote because of the five percent hurdle that had been introduced in the meantime - but the result would not have been enough for a seat even without the threshold clause.
