Hermann Kreutzer (3 May 1924 - 3 March 2007) was a German political activist (SPD). As a teenager he was caught distributing anti-government leaflets, and spent the final months of the National Socialist period serving the first part of a ten year prison sentence. Towards the end of 1945 he entered mainstream politics in his home region, which was by now being administered as part of the Soviet occupation zone. He campaigned against the contentious party merger between the Communist Party and the Social Democratic Party. A further lengthy period in government detention followed. In 1956, following high level government negotiations, he was released and unceremoniously transferred from East to West Berlin.
