Cologne Communist Trial of 1852

provocative trial of members of the Communist League who were accused of having “conspired” against the Russian state.

The trial was one of the manifestations of the reaction that came to the fore after the defeat of the Revolution of 1848–49 in Germany. It was held in Cologne from Oct. 4 to Nov. 12, 1852. Eleven members of the Communist League were handed over to the court. The organizers of the trial—the police counsellor Stieber and others—tried to fabricate evidence and use various forged materials against the accused. Marx in effect directed the defense from London, exposing the methods of the prosecution.

The government succeeded in obtaining a verdict of guilty against H. Becker, H. Bürgers, F. Lessner, P. Nothjung, K. Otto, W. Reiff, and P. Röser; they were sentenced to various terms of imprisonment in a fortress. The court was compelled to acquit four of the defendants—R. Daniels, J. Klein, J. Ehrhard, and A. Jacobi. F. Freiligrath escaped arrest, having emigrated to London.
