Wolfgang Kapp
Wolfgang Kapp, founder of the right-wing party DVP and initiator of the Kapp putsch, in a contemporary picture. The Kapp putsch was a right-winged attempt under Wolfgang Kapp and General W. Freiherr von Luttwitz and lastet from the 13th to the 17th of March in 1920. It was the first attack on the young, German democracy. The government had to escape to Dresden and Stuttgart, but in the end the putsch failed, since the population followed the call of the labour unions for a general strike
