Marinus van der Lubbe
Dutch communist and alleged arsonist (1909–1934)
In this Dutch name, the surname is van der Lubbe, not Lubbe.
Marinus van der Lubbe (Dutch pronunciation:[maːˈrinʏsfɑndərˈlʏbə]; 13 January 1909 – 10 January 1934) was a Dutchcommunist who was tried, convicted, and executed by the government of Nazi Germany for setting fire to the Reichstag building—the national parliament of Germany—on 27 February 1933.
During his trial, the prosecution argued that van der Lubbe had acted on behalf of a wider communist conspiracy, while left-wing anti-Nazis argued that the fire was a false flag attack arranged by the Nazis themselves. Most historians agree that van der Lubbe acted alone, although this is occasionally disputed.
Nearly 75 years after the event, the German government granted van der Lubbe a posthumous pardon.[1]
