Friedrich Ebert (GDR)

From Free net encyclopedia

Friedrich "Fritz" Ebert (September 12, 1894 – December 4, 1979) was the son of Friedrich Ebert, the 9th Chancellor of Germany and the first President of Weimar Republic.

Unlike his father, who was a social-democrat and an avid anti-communist, Fritz became a member of the German Communist Party.

He was acting Chairman of the Council of State in the German Democratic Republic and thus head of state of the GDR for a brief period in 1973.
