description: "Ernst Meyer was a German communist politician, journalist and activist who served as chairman of the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) from 1921 to 1922, during the united front period. A founding member and leading functionary of the KPD, he later served as leader of that party's faction in the Prussian Landtag. A political opponent of Ernst Thälmann, Meyer was removed from the party's Central Committee and Politburo in 1929 following the Wittorf Affair, not long before his death of tuberculosis-related pneumonia at the age of 42."
