Robert Fischer

After an elementary education he completed an apprenticeship as metal processor and pursued this trade until 1906.

From 1906 to 1911 he was the chief executive officer of the regional branch of the Metalworkers Union (Deutscher Metallarbeiterverband) in Lüdenscheid. In this time he was also a worker's secretary and agitation leader of the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) in Lüdenscheid. From 1911 to 1919 he was chief executive officer of the Metalworkers Union in Bremerhaven and on the board of directors of the local Consumers' Co-operative from 1914 onwards. In 1919 he was again chief executive officer of the regional branch of the Metalworkers Union in Lüdenscheid and officially to 20 July 1925 member of the City Council Lüdenscheid. An uncompleted strike in November 1923 was regarded as a failure by Robert Fischer and as an internal union consequence he gave up his post in Lüdenscheid. Then Robert Fischer became a managing director of the Metalworkers Union in Elbing at the Baltic Sea.
