Christian Gottfried Albert Traeger (* 12. June 1830 in Augsburg; † 26. March 1912 in Grunewald) was a Privy Councilor of Justice and, from 1874 until his death, a parliamentarian in the German Empire for almost four decades as a member of the leading bourgeois-left-liberal parties, who also worked as a writer and journalist.

Life: Traeger was born in Augsburg, the son of an editor. The family moved to Naumburg in 1838, where the father initially became the manager of a commercial business, but died in 1844. After graduating from the Domgymnasium, Traeger studied law and political science in Halle and Leipzig from 1848 to 1851. In 1862 he became a lawyer and notary in Kölleda. In 1867, Traeger married 26-year-old Caroline Ritter from Magdeburg. He fathered three children with her, of whom the couple lost one son in 1872. His wife died in 1873 at the age of 31. After her death, Albert Traeger moved in on the 10th. November 1875 moved to Nordhausen with the two remaining daughters, and in 1891 to Berlin. His second marriage to Henriette Caro, in 1882, ended in divorce. In 1896 he received the title of Councilor of Justice and in 1908 that of Privy Councilor of Justice.

Georg von Vollmar, actually Georg Carl Joseph Heinrich Ritter von Vollmar auf Veltheim, (* 7. March 1850 in Munich; † 30. June 1922 in Urfeld am Walchensee, Haus Soiensaß, Upper Bavaria) was a German politician and first chairman of the Bavarian SPD.

Life: Vollmar came from a noble civil servant family. His parents - married since 1849 - were Anton von Vollmar (1824-1868), who worked as a secret registrar in the Bavarian Ministry of the Interior, and the pension officer's daughter Karoline, née Loibl (1824-1903; her father Georg Loibl was head of the district tax office based in Miesbach). The spouses were already living separately in 1857; From 1860 onwards, the father pushed for a divorce from the obviously broken marriage. The son Georg attended the Latin school and the Benedictine boarding school of St. Stephan in Augsburg from 1861 to 1865, where he received a strict Catholic education. He was unable to attend St. Stephan's high school because of poor grades in the Latin school (overall grade IV, the worst grade at the time). Following the example of his uncle Joseph von Vollmar (colonel), he initially aspired to a military career in 1865 and joined the Bavarian army as a volunteer soldier and cadet[3]. During the 1866 war against Prussia he was promoted to sublieutenant. He deserted in 1867 ("dismissal as punishment") and, without his parents' knowledge, signed up as a volunteer in the papal army of Pius IX in 1868. in Rome. At the instigation of his father, he was transferred to the Bavarian embassy in Rome at the end of 1868 (he had signed his contract by 1872 and was two years older) and sent back to Munich. Because of his desertion, he was refused re-entry into the Bavarian army during the Franco-Prussian War. As a war telegraph officer on the field railway, he nevertheless took part in the campaign against France. Under unclear circumstances he was shot in the left foot near Blois in January 1871 and returned as an invalid. His high military relatives (an uncle by marriage was General von Brodeßer) achieved his rehabilitation and support with a high disability pension (1,087 guilders per annum). In addition to working as a journalist and writer, he occupied himself with politics, philosophy and literature (living with his mother Karoline Loibl in Munich and Miesbach; his father died unexpectedly at the end of 1868). In 1877 he became editor of the Dresdner Volksbote through social democratic contacts. Sentenced to ten months in prison for lese majeste, he served this sentence in the Zwickau prison.

From 1879 to 1880, at August Bebel's suggestion, he became editor-in-chief of the central organ The Social Democrat, which appeared in Zurich during the time of the Socialist Law. In 1881 he had to give up this activity because of his radical, revolutionary ideas, which increasingly put him at odds with Social Democratic members of the Reichstag. After a short stay in Paris, he entered the Reichstag in 1881 for the Saxon Reichstag constituency Sachsen 15 Mittweida. Vollmar was a member of the Reichstag from 1881 to 1887 and 1890 to 1918, and from 1884 for the Reichstag constituency Upper Bavaria 2 Munich II. He won this mandate because the bourgeois camp had deliberately split up in order to cause defeat to the previous MP, Anton Westermayer, city priest and member of the center, which was overwhelmingly powerful in Bavaria. Von Vollmar was also a member of the Saxon state parliament from 1883 to 1889 and a member of the Bavarian state parliament from 1893 to 1918. Since 1884 he had been in contact with the very rich Swedish industrialist's daughter Julia Kjellberg, whom he married in 1885. Their son Sigfried died in 1887, just a few months old. The rich wife enabled the former left-wing radical politician to live a comfortable life and had a luxurious villa with a park built in Urfeld am Walchensee, which they both moved into at the turn of the year 1889/90 and lived in until their deaths. From then on, Vollmar moved closer to reformism/revisionism and maintained close contacts with exponents of the right wing of the party such as Eduard David, Wolfgang Heine, Adolf Müller and Albert Südekum. In the Munich restaurant Eldorado he had on January 1st. and 6. July 1891 tried in two speeches to justify his political change in order to bring about improvements of an economic and social nature on the basis of the existing state and social order. He thus developed more and more into the antipode to August Bebel.

He was instrumental in setting up a Bavarian state association of the SPD, whose first state party conference took place on December 26th. June 1892 took place in Regensburg. There Vollmar and G. Löwenstein submitted a report on the importance and activities of the Bavarian state parliament, which was published together with the state parliament's election program for the elections in 1893 in a pamphlet entitled The Social Democracy and the Elections to the Bavarian State Parliament (Nuremberg 1892). In this election program the following demand was raised, among other things: “Cultivation of science and art, unrestricted freedom of their teaching and practice. Creation of a school law on the following basis: free school lessons and teaching materials, reimbursement of costs by the state, improvement of primary schools, in particular by extending school hours and replacing the useless holiday school with effective further education lessons. Meals for needy school children at public expense. Relieving teachers from church service and improving their salaries; secular school inspection.” From 1894 to 1918 he was state chairman of the Bavarian SPD. In 1903 he agreed to work in an imperial government. At the beginning of the First World War he was a vehement advocate of the truce policy and an intolerant supporter of a peace until the end of the war. In 1918 he resigned from his mandate for health reasons, whereupon Kurt Eisner was nominated as a replacement for the upcoming state elections.

Von Vollmar lived in the Soiensaß house in Urfeld am Walchensee, today Karwendelblick, whose foundation stone he laid in 1884.

Georg von Vollmar died at the age of 71.

Gravesite: Georg von Vollmar's gravesite is in the Munich Forest Cemetery (grave no. 90-W-11).
