Biography

German communist politician and writer, who served as editor of Rote Fahn (Red Flag), the central magazine of the Communist Party (KPD), from 1918 to 1919. He later became a novelist, editor and publisher active in the social democratic workers' education service.

Karl Schröder was head of Circle Books, a Berlin book club, from 1928 to 1932. In 1928, together with Alexander Schwab, he began to organise the Council Communist Rote Kämpfer (Red Fighters). After the Nazi seizure of power, Schröder worked as a bookseller in Berlin. The Gestapo penetrated the Rote Kämpfer in 1936, and arrested him. The following year he was sentenced to four years in prison and then detained in several concentration camps.

In 1945 he was close to death, but he recovered again. He worked for the reconstruction of the Berlin school system and adult education. Karl Schröder died on 6 April 1950 in Berlin, aged 65.
