Hugo Haase (29 September 1863 – 7 November 1919) was a German socialist politician, jurist and pacifist. With Friedrich Ebert he was co-chairman of the ''Rat der Volksbeauftragten'' after the German Revolution in 1918. ==Early life== Hugo Haase was born on 29 September 1863 in Allenstein (today: Olsztyn), in the Province of East Prussia, the son of Jewish shoemaker and small businessman, Nathan Haase, and his wife Pauline〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biografie Hugo Haase(German) )〕 (née Anker). After attending the ''Gymnasium'' at Rastenburg, Haase studied law in Königsberg (now Kaliningrad), joined the Social Democratic Party of Germany (SPD) in 1887 and the next year established himself as a lawyer. He was the first socialist lawyer in East Prussia and mainly took on as clients people from the lower classes (workers, peasants), journalists and socialist functionaries. In 1894, Haase became the first Social Democrat in the municipal parliament (''Stadtverordnetenversammlung '')of Königsberg. In 1897, he was elected to the Reichstag in a by-election.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Biografie Hugo Haase(German) )〕 In multiple legal cases, he defended Social Democrats against various politically motivated charges. High-profile cases that made him known throughout the country included the so-called ''Königsberger Geheimbundprozeß'' in 1904, in which he achieved acquittals for several politicians including the later Minister President of Prussia, Otto Braun. In 1907, Haase was counsel for Karl Liebknecht (SPD) who had been charged with high treason for publishing his screed ''Militarismus und Antimilitarismus''.〔 Haase belonged to the so-called "revisionist" wing of the party, which in contrast to the Marxists, supported gradual reforms and no longer saw the best path to social and political change in revolution. In 1911, he became SPD chairman along with August Bebel, in 1912 Haase was reelected to the Reichstag and, together with Philipp Scheidemann, became chairman of the SPD Reichstag group. After Bebel's death in 1913, Haase and Friedrich Ebert were chosen as the party chairmen.〔 However, he remained active as a lawyer (now with an office in Berlin). By contrast with Ebert, Bebel and Scheidemann, Haase was not a home-grown party functionary but a radical intellectual.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hugo Haase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
