Conrad Bitzer
Conrad Bitzer (January 11, 1853 – September 22, 1903) was a lawyer and politician in Ontario, Canada. He served as mayor of Berlin in 1892.[1]
Bitzer was born on January 11, 1853, in Preston, Canada West. His father, Gottlieb Bitzer, was born in Württemberg and his mother, Dorothea Schaak, was from Hesse.[2] Gottlieb Bitzer constructed the Lancaster Hotel in 1840 in the nearby village of Bridgeport.[2]
He was called to the Ontario bar in 1881 and set up practice in Berlin,[3] the first German-speaking lawyer to practice in the area. He was a member of the local Board of Trade.[1] Bitzer was nominated as the Liberal candidate for the Waterloo North seat in the Canadian House of Commons for the 1900 general election[4] but withdrew before the election date.[5]
He died on September 22, 1903, and was buried at Mount Hope Cemetery in Kitchener.[2]
