I am working under the assumption that the structure of the population of the greater metropolitan Hamburg area (including parts of Prussia) is accurately reflected in the population statistics for the state of Hamburg alone.ģ4 For a general analysis of the early 1920's, see Wheeler, R., “Zur sozialen Struktur der Arbeiterbewegung am Anfang der Weimarer Republik: Einige methodologischen Bemerkungen”, in: Industrielles System und politische Entwicklung in der Weimarer Republik: Verhandlungen des Internationalen Symposiums in Bochum von 12–17.

They are merely indicative, and conclusions drawn from them cannot be considered absolute. I am using the Hamburg figures only for purposes of comparison with the arrested.

The arrested, in contrast, may have lived in the Prussian suburbs of Hamburg. The Hamburg figures do not include the suburbs of Hamburg that lay in Schleswig-Holstein or Hanover (provinces of Prussia), nor the cities of Altona and Harburg.

Unless otherwise stated, all Hamburg figures given in the article will be from the 1925 census and will refer to the state of Hamburg as a whole (the city of Hamburg plus suburban and unincorporated areas under Hamburg's jurisdiction). While the 1925 figures are not exact comparisons, they are generally indicative of the social, economic and demographic composition of Hamburg's population in the early 1920's. The 1925 census was the closest one to the 1923 insurrection. by the Statistischen Landesamt (Hamburg, 1927).

A social analysis of these known insurrectionaries can indicate some of the sources of support for the KPD and suggest some of the ways in which the KPD fit into the history of the German working class and workers' movement.ġ3 For the 1925 census, cf. In October 1923 the KPD staged an insurrection in Hamburg, resulting in the arrest and conviction of over 800 persons. This article contributes to the history of the KPD by attempting to analyze one source about support for German Communism in a major industrial city.

Local and regional sources, though sporadically preserved and until now little exploited, offer an alternative way to determine the social bases of German Communism.

Aside from a census of party members conducted by the national leadership in 1927, and voting returns in elections, there are no national sources on which to base an analysis of the social structure of the Communist movement in Germany. Yet knowledge of the social composition of German Communism is an important, in many ways crucial, factor in assessing the role of the KPD in the development of the German workers' movement during the Weimar Republic. Although much has been written about the history of the German Communist Party, little is known about who actually belonged to it or supported it.
