Robert Blum
Robert Blum (10 November 1807 – 9 November 1848) was a German democratic politician, publicist, poet, publisher, revolutionary and member of the
National Assembly of 1848. In his fight for a strong, unified Germany he opposed
ethnocentrism and it was his strong belief that no one people should rule over another. As such he was an opponent of the
Prussian occupation of Poland and was in contact with the revolutionaries there. Blum was a critic of
antisemitism, supported the
German Catholic sect, and agitated for the equality of the sexes. Although claiming immunity as a member of the National Assembly, he was arrested during a stay at the hotel "Stadt London" in Vienna and executed for his role in
the Revolutions of 1848 in the German states.
