Conrad Bitzer
Conrad Bitzer (1853 – 1903) was a lawyer and politician in Ontario, Canada. He served as mayor of Berlin in 1892.[1]
Bitzer was born in Preston, Ontario, the son of immigrants from Germany. He was called to the Ontario bar in 1881 and set up practice in Berlin, 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[2] but withdrew before the election date.[3]
