Karl Nobiling

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl Nobiling.

Karl Eduard Nobiling (April 10, 1848 - September 10, 1878) was a German assassin who attacked Wilhelm I of Germany. Born in the Gummersbach district of western Germany, Nobiling studied agriculture and received a doctor's degree in 1876. He may have had some minor contact with members of the Social Democratic Party.

In Berlin on June 2, 1878, Nobiling shot and wounded Kaiser Wilhelm I in a failed assassination attempt. Nobiling then shot himself in the head, finally succumbing to his injuries in September 1878. His attempt to murder Wilhelm came less than one month after a similar attempt by Max Hödel.

Chancellor Otto von Bismarck used the actions of Nobiling and Hödel as justification to implement the Anti-Socialist Law in October 1878.
