Wolfgang Kapp - Definition and Overview

Wolfgang Kapp (July 24 1858 - June 12 1922) was an East Prussian civil servant and journalist. He was a strict nationalist, and a nominal leader of the so-called Kapp Putsch that took place in Weimar Republic in 1920.

When the putsch failed, Kapp was forced to flee the country. He found a place of refuge in Sweden.

After two years in exile, he was allowed to return to Germany in April 1922. He died shortly afterwards, of cancer, in Leipzig.
