Conrad C. Binkele

Conrad C. Binkele (December 3, 1867, in Mansfield – October 29, 1942, in Los Angeles) led the activities of the Watch Tower Society for the Central European Space until 1925, and in 1928 founded the Free Bible Students in Germany.

Charles Taze Russell appointed Binkele as the director of the European Watch Tower offices in 1916.

[2] In 1925, Binkele left the Bible Student movement as a result of theological differences with the new Watch Tower Society president, Joseph Franklin Rutherford.

Binkele founded the Free Bible Students Association (FBV) in Germany in 1928 and published a magazine (The Pilgrim).

After the war, Free Bible Students were again able to receive literature, for the first time in over a decade.
