Franciszek Trąbalski (October 10, 1870, Czempiń – July 26, 1964) was a Polish socialist politician and a longtime member of Polish Socialist Party (PPS).
Franciszek Trąbalski, called Francis, was with Mary, born Mackowiack married. He is the father of Stanislaw Trabalski and the grandfather of Charles Trabalski. His grave is located in the cemetery of the parish of St. Joseph in Zabrze, the former Hindenburg of Upper Silesia. A particularly friendly relationship had Francis always to Richard Lipinski which he had met in Leipzig. This was established by the fact that their children, Lipinski's daughter Margaret and Trabalski`s son Stanislaw Trabalski, married in 1921.
Francis attended the German School in Srem, where he passed the matriculation examination. After school he went to the higher trade school to study. In order to finance this, he worked in the commercial sector, and gave private lessons. At the same time he learned the "proper job" of Shoemaker.
End of 1888, he opened to defray the living expenses for his family, a shoemaker in Leipzig. The shoemakers' guild, which over the influx of Poles was not pleased forced the closure of his shop. Now he was working in the basement of his house in the Poniatowskistraße. In addition to his political duties Trąbalski worked part-time in between 1894 and 1896 as a teacher of Polish small schools in Leipzig. After the birth of his son Stanislaw he took a job as a city official. In 1899 he published in the newspaper workers, supported by the SPD, Robotnicza Gazeta, first article.
Already in his early youth he was interested in politics. From a young age, he distributed leaflets which was called on to resist the Prussian Germanization, against the forcible introduction of the German language in Poland, now in the Prussian province. His efforts were supported among others by Rosa Luxemburg, Ludwik Warynski, Felix Dzerzhinsky Edmundowitsch and Julian Balthasar Marchlewski. When he therefore threatened with arrest, the only 18 year old fled his native Czempin (then part of the Kingdom of Prussia and later German Empire and in 1920, Poland), political opinion, first to Berlin, later on Halle to Leipzig. Trąbalski made contact with German social democrats, with August Bebel, Johann Karl Pinkau, George Schoepflin, and particularly to Wilhelm Liebknecht, he had a friendly relationship. Francis was still in the same year (1898) in the Polish choir in Leipzig, behind which was hidden because of the still prevailing socialist law, an illegal socialist organization. As Francis until the abolition of the socialist law for the courier services in neighboring Borsdorf living Wilhelm Liebknecht took over, he also met his son, Karl Liebknecht. In this organization were, inter alia, Rosa Luxemburg in 1900, Hugo Haase and Lenin, who, when he was staying in Leipzig, attended Trabalski. Immediately after the fall of the socialist law, Franz took effect on 1 October 1890 the SPD again legally operating at. With the beginning of 1891 he was also a member of the recently founded in Berlin in Germany of Polish Socialist Party (TSP). In 1901 he was persuaded by the comrades to Katowice in Upper Silesia, to move to the corner of the Three Emperors (Germany, Austria-Hungary and Russia). There should be contact points set up so that the working party could be activated for the PPS. Another such point of contact, he set up in Kaliningrad, has been placed in refugee money, passports and other available. This meeting was called Koenigsberg process known in the Karl Liebknecht appeared as a defender Trabalskis. Trabalski worked there as a party secretary.
