Karl Wiedemann

Karl Wiedemann (born April 18, 1904, in Augsburg) was a German politician.

As of early 1933 Wiedemann was a city councilor in Augsburg, representing the Communist Party of Germany (KPD). He was the secretary and the Bavaria gauleiter of the International Union of Victims of Wars and Labour (IBOKA), an organization mobilizing financial support for imprisoned workers and their families. After the National Socialist seizure of power, Wiedemann remained politically active. However his brother Matthias Wiedemann, gau auditor and a local NSDAP official, managed to secure his release. In the June 1946 Bavarian state election he was elected to the Bavarian Constituent State Assembly, as a KPD candidate in the Swabia constituency.

Wiedemann died in Augsburg on July 16, 1981.
