No special first-day cover letter Meritorious personalities of the German labor movement Kurt Bürger - under this pseudonym adopted in 1933 - became known on August 27, 1894 in Karlsruhe as the son of a metalworker family German Communist Karl Ganz. The trained locksmith developed from a young age to a recognized trade union and party functionary in Bavaria. During the November Revolution, Bürger was a member of the Munich Workers 'and Soldiers' Council and co-founder of the KPD in Bavaria. As commander of a detachment of the Red Army, he took part in the battles to defend the Bavarian Soviet Republic and was sentenced by the counter-revolution to four years in prison. Despite renewed arrests in the years 1924 and 1928, Kurt Bürger continued his anti-imperialist and anti-militarist struggle with his work in the district administration of Southern Bavaria, in the editorial office of the "Hamburger Volkszeitung" and since 1929 in the Central Committee of the KPD. After the establishment of the Hitler dictatorship, he was first head of the courier and liaison service of the KPD and instructor of the Central Committee, until he emigrated to the Soviet Union in November 1933, where he took on responsibilities at the Executive Committee of the Communist International and the Red Trade Union International. Kurt Bürger, who returned to the Soviet Union in 1938, seriously ill from participating in the struggle for freedom of the Spanish people, had been working for the USSR for the anti-fascist re-education of German prisoners of war since Hitler Hitler's attack on the USSR. In May 1945 he came to Mecklenburg-Vorpommern as a representative of the Central Committee of the KPD. Here he made an outstanding contribution to the creation of the unity of the workers' movement and to the antifascist democratic transformation, especially in the implementation of the democratic land reform. Kurt Bürger was chairman of the KPD state leadership and since April 1946 chairman of the state executive committee and first secretary of the state government Mecklenburg of the SED and member of the party executive committee and the central committee of the SED.
