November 1918 - Novemberrevolution in Berlin Just a few weeks after Prinz Max von Baden had been nominated as Reichskanzler, in view of the impending defeat and catastrophe, he announced without due authorisation the Abdication of the Kaiser and charged Friedrich Ebert (SPD) with his offical duties. Ebert's party colleague, Philipp Scheidemann, who was to relieve him in February 1919, proclaimed from the balcony of the Reichstag the "Deutsche Republik". On that same day, Karl Liebknecht, one of the leaders of the left-wing revolutionary Spartakusbund proclaimed a "Freie Sozialistische Republik Deutschland" as a "Räterepublik". The Great War ended two days later at 11.00 on 11. November 1918 Philipp Scheidemann proclaims the Republic and Abdication of the Kaiser on 9. November 1918 Karl Liebknecht proclaims the Socialist Republic of Germany The Abdication, Kaiser Wilhelm at the Station of Amerongen, Holland In the following civil conflicts affecting many regions, the representatives of a socialist Räterepublik succumbed to the supporters of a parliamentary democracy. Two months later, Liebknecht, together with Rosa Luxemburg were executed on 15. January 1919 by solders of a Freikorps. In August 1919 the constitution of what was later known as the Weimar Republik was drawn up, so-called after the Nationalversammlung which was held in Weimar.
