Max Seydewitz (December 19, 1892 – February 8, 1987) was a German politician (SPD, SAPD and SED) who served as the Minister-President of Saxony from 1947 to 1952. He also served in the Reichstag of the Weimar Republic and the Volkskammer of the German Democratic Republic. Max Seydewitz was born in a small town some 25 km (15 miles) east of Cottbus and 150 km (90 miles) south-east of Berlin. His father was a tanner. He attended school locally and undertook an apprenticeship as a book printer. He joined a socialist youth movement in 1907 and in 1910 became a member of the SPD. He served as a soldier in the war between 1914 and 1915 when he was released from the army on grounds of "unsuitability" for war. From 1918 till 1920 he worked as contributing editor on the "Volksblatt" ("People's Voice"), a socialist newspaper in Halle before moving to Zwickau where from 1920 till 1931 he served as Editor in Chief with "Saxony Volksblatt", a daily newspaper of the political left. Seydewitz was elected to the Reichstag in May 1924, representing Chemnitz–Zwickau. In 1931, after the left wing of the SPD was expelled, Seydewitz alongside members such as Kurt Rosenfeld established the Socialist Workers' Party of Germany, of which he became the co-chair.
