Friedrich Wilhelm German Mäurer (1811-1883) was a German Communist writer and leader of the early German labor movement.[1][2] He joined the League of Outlaws because of his democratic beliefs. When the League of Outlaws became the League of the Just, Mäurer became a member of the League of the Just. He wrote poetry for its newsletters and several books,[3] and with Moses Hess was an important link between it and Karl Marx.[4]
