Wilhelm Liebknecht (March 29 1826 - August 7 1900) was a German social democrat, one of the founders of the SPD and father of Karl Liebknecht and Theodor Liebknecht.
In 1850, Liebknecht was arrested for his initiatives to unite Switzerland's German workers' associations and banished from the country, moving to his exile in London, where he stayed from 1850 to 1862 and became a member of the communist association, meeting Karl Marx in the process.
In 1872, Liebknecht, together with August Bebel, was sentenced to two years of Festungshaft ("imprisonment in a fortress") for high treason in a political prosecution known as the Leipziger Hochverratsprozess.
