Edgar von Westphalen

Edgar Gerhard Julius Oscar Ludwig von Westphalen (26 March 1819 – 30 September 1890) was a German writer, Communist politician and the brother-in-law of Karl Marx. He was the son of Prussian baron Ludwig von Westphalen and his second wife Caroline Heubel. Heubel was also the mother of Jenny who married Karl Marx. Edgar had a half-brother Ferdinand from his father's first marriage.[1] The Westphalen and Marx families were neighbors in Trier, with Karl and Edgar being friends and schoolmates.[2]

During the Adelsverein sponsored German immigration to Texas, Edgar von Westphalen was one of the early immigrants to the Latin settlement of Sisterdale.[3]

gollark: I vote that we abolish time and thus months and years.

gollark: As a person, I propose that your ignorance of the opinion is ignored.

gollark: No. No groups should randomly be allowed to claim entire years. Months is bad enough, but we have even fewer years available.

gollark: "Mental state" is a very general term.

gollark: I'm not sure what "mental state" is supposed to mean, but arguably that's one of the more reasonable things to discriminate based on, given that that's at least partly controlled by the person in question and maybe includes stuff like "being annoying/trolly".
