Fritz Husemann

Friedrich Ernst Husemann (19 September 1873 – 15 April 1935) was a German trade union leader and politician.

Husemann was born in Leopoldsthal (now part of Horn-Bad Meinberg) in the Principality of Lippe.

A member of the Social Democratic Party of Germany, he was also elected to the Bochum Workers' and Soldiers' Council, then served in the Prussian State Assembly from 1919.

[1][2] Husemann was also active in the Miners' International Federation (MIF), serving as its vice-president, then from 1932 as its president.

Comrades, including those from the MIF, urged him to emigrate to the United States, but he refused to do so, and he was repeatedly arrested for his trade union and socialist activities.
