Ernst Meyer (German politician)

Ernst Meyer (10 July, 1887, Prostken – 2 February, 1930, Potsdam) was a German Communist political activist and politician and a chairman of the KPD. He is best remembered as a founding member and top leader of the Communist Party of Germany and as the leader of that party's membership in the Prussian Landtag. A political opponent of Ernst Thälmann, Meyer was moved out of the top party leadership after 1928, not long before his death of tuberculosis-related pneumonia at the age of 43.
