Max Maurenbrecher

Max Heinrich Maurenbrecher (17 July 1874 – 30 April 1929) was a German publicist, pastor and politician.

He served as a pastor in the Evangelical State Church of Prussia's older Provinces until 1907.

From 1909 to 1916, he preached for the free religious congregations in Nuremberg and Mannheim.

He left the SPD in 1916 in a dispute over increasing the military budget, joined the conservative German Fatherland Party in 1917, and finally joined the German National People's Party after the war.

Maurenbrecher was an admirer of Friedrich Nietzsche, who greatly influenced his thinking.
