From contributor Wolfgang Schindler (member 50213981):
"Hugo Haase was a German lawyer, politician and pacifist. As a lawyer, he defended many politically persecuted Social Democrats and socialists, including Otto Braun, Rosa Luxemburg, Karl Liebknecht and Ernst Toller. He belonged to the Reichstag from 1897 to 1907 and from 1912 to 1918. From 1911 to 1916 he was one of the two leaders of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) and from 1912 to 1916 one of the two parliamentary leaders of the SPD in the Reichstag. Excluded from the faction and party as an opponent of the SPD board's war policy, he founded the Independent Social Democratic Party of Germany (USPD) with his supporters in 1917, whose chairman he was until 1919. After the November Revolution of 1918, he was a member of the Council of People's Representatives for two months (November 10 to December 29, 1918). He was chairman of the coalition agreement with Friedrich Ebert. He resigned because the government violently acted against the People's Navy division. Elected to the Weimar National Assembly in January 1919, he became the group leader of the USPD.
On October 8, 1919, an allegedly insane leather worker injured Haase by revolver guns on his legs. He was hospitalized and was on the mend when he unexpectedly died of sepsis on November 7, 1919."
