About Fred Oelßner
- Fred Oelßner (27 February 1903 – 7 November 1977) was the son of a Communist Party official who himself rose to become a leading political figure in the German Democratic Republic (East Germany).
- He was also an economist.Oelßner became a member of the ruling party's politburo in 1950.
- He fell out of favour over the so-called Schirdewan affair in 1958, however, and was excluded from the politburo.
- Tensions had arisen at the top of government over the extent which the country should be willing to respond positively to pressure from Moscow for a measure of De-Stalinization.
- Oelßner was able to argue from an economic and political perspective in favour of a cautious easing of restrictions.
- After a period of a year or so during which it might have been thought that the East German leader, Walter Ulbricht, was open to suggestions, the political downfall of Karl Schirdewan, Fred Oelßner and one or two others was seen as a sign that traditionalist economic hardliners would remain in control.
- In September 1959 Oelßner published his self-criticism on account of his "opportunism and political blindness" ("Opportunismus und politische Blindheit") during the years 1956/57.
