Talk:Friedrich Ebert

message: I think there's a mistake. Fifth paragraph: I think he said "If the Kaiser DOESN'T abdicate ...revolution will be inevitable" . He wanted the abdication! (At least that's what the german article - quite plausibly - says...) Ch.Zalka 85.2.218.57 22:53, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I came here searching for information on the "Frederick Ebert Stiftung" or more properly, "Friedrich Ebert Stiftung" organization or foundation ("Stiftung"). There is no wikipedia article, although a Google search shows the organization exists and records some of its activities (I found many entries on a misspelling "Stifung"). There is even a website (http://www.fes.de/). I have encountered an allegation that it is "CIA backed & funded", although I believe this false. I desire more information on this organization.

message: I'll try to re-write it if possible, but I don't think the "Legacy" section in this article is balanced enough. It sounds vaugely condemning, and I say this as someone who dislikes Ebert greatly.--Agent of the Reds 16:28, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  weasel weasel 

message: In the wikipedia entry for Rosa Luxemburg, it offhandedly mentions that Ebert studied with her at SPD's Berlin training center.  Is this verified by some source?  If so, it should certainly be mentioned here in the article about Ebert!  (How ironic, that he would later essential order her death!)

thread_title:  Dubious Sources 

message: I am not sure the reference to Liebknecht is necessary here, since this page is about Ebert. Given that Liebknecht' s speech was two hours later, I doubt that Scheidemann at that point already had a clear idea about what was going to happen. In any case there should be a citation to a reference that says that this was a cause of Scheidemann's actions. From what I've read, it was more or less spontaneous, he just got caught up in the moment... Drow69 (talk) 14:20, 15 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Declaration of the Republic 

message: As far as all sources and records indicate Freidrich Ebert was not at all of jewish, but of roman catholic faith, as is rather bluntly indicated by a quite large crucifix on his grave in Heidelberg. I was looking for any sources and records regarding his family ancestors being of jewish faith and later on converted to christianity, but could not find any, instead it seems his family and ancestors were all of roman catholic faith. The same goes for the family of his wife Louise Rump of protestant  faith.
I believe it is most important to not declare a man a Jew when he is not, and i have a very strange feeling regarding Friedrich Ebert being made into a Jew here in this article, as in the time of his presidency he was, for political reasons, accused quite very negatively to be a Jew, alternatively a "henchman of jewish interests to destroy Germany" by extremist anti-semitic circles in Germany due to his role in the abolishment of the Monarchy in Germany and the treaty of Versailles and the declaration of the Republic in Germany. 
I would like to urge a immediate change here very strongly, as him being "accused" to be a Jew was, as stated above, an antisemitic political campaign in his lifetime, which should under no circumstances be repeated here, in regards to his memory and in respect to the jewish faith and people.
:Ebert was not a jew. I reverted this false claim. --Prüm (talk) 09:02, 9 November 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Ebert falsely represented as being Jewish 

message: This info is mostly already included in the article on the Council of the People's Deputies. Does it really make sense to repeat it on Ebert's page in such detail? My suggestion would be to just have a summary here and to drop some of the less important decrees.Drow69 (talk) 14:34, 19 May 2014 (UTC)
