Biography

Franz Jung (26 November 1888, Nysa – 21 January 1963, Stuttgart) was a writer, economist and political activist in Germany. He also wrote under the names Franz Larsz and Frank Ryberg.
From 1909 he worked as a journalist and soon started writing for Der Sturm and Die Aktion. Otto Gross was a large influence upon him
He was a member of the League for Proletarian Culture (1919-1920). In 1921 he travelled with Jan Appel to participate in the 3rd World Congress of the Comintern in 1921 as a delegate of the Communist Workers Party of Germany. This involved hijacking the SS Senator Schröder to go to Murmansk, Soviet Russia, rather than fishing near Iceland.
