Richard Freudenberg (9 February 1892 - 21 November 1975) was a German politician of the Free Democratic Party (FDP) and former member of the German Bundestag.[1]
Freudenberg won the election in the Mannheim-Land constituency as a direct candidate with 43.69 % of the vote, ahead of the CDU candidate (25.54 %); the DVP had not put forward a candidate of its own. This made him, together with Eduard Edert (Flensburg constituency) and Franz Ott (Esslingen constituency), one of the independent representatives in the 1st German Bundestag. As an intern, Freudenberg joined the FDP faction and worked for them in the committees for foreign trade issues and internal reorganization.
