Johann Mathias Geusendam (* 24. Februar 1886 in Rijssen, Niederlande; † 6. April 1945 in Vaihingen an der Enz) war ein politisch aktiver Arbeiter. Seine Ausweisung aus dem Land Bremen 1908 war Auslöser einer jahrelangen Debatte in der Bremischen Bürgerschaft über die Ausländerpolitik, verbunden mit der Frage, ob die Bürgerschaft in die Handlungskompetenzen des Senates eingreifen dürfe. Geusendams Biografie steht dabei beispielhaft für den Umgang der Bremer Obrigkeit mit „lästigen Ausländern“ während des Kaiserreichs und der Weimarer Republik. rdf:langString

rdf:langString Johann Geusendam (24 February 1886 – 6 April 1945) was a Dutchman who moved with his fiancée to Bremen in 1905 in order to improve his job. Bremen was a geographically small but industrially, commercially and economically dynamic "autonomous component state" which had become part of Germany in 1871. Geusendam was politically engaged and became increasingly active. This came to the attention of the authorities. In 1908, after taking part in a strike, still aged only 22, he was identified as a "troublesome foreigner" ("lästiger Ausländer") and deported from Bremen. Till 1933 Germany resisted pressure to copy the Anglo-French model of an ever more centrally controlled state, and Geusendam's expulsion became the focus of a thirty year foreign policy debate in the Bremen Bürgerschaft (parliament) as to whether or not depriving a man of citizens' rights fell within the competence of the city authorities and their senate. One reason that Geusendam was the focus of the debate for so long is that after his expulsion he soon returned, illegally, to Bremen for family reasons, and the authorities grudgingly suspended his expulsion. He was expelled again in 1921 but managed, with the support of the labour movement, to remain in Bremen till 1931, when he really was expelled. The family relocated briefly to the Soviet Union. Later he fell foul of the Hitler government as a result of his political activities in the border region between the Netherlands and Germany. He was arrested in 1940 and held in government detention at a succession of institutions till, through physical mistreatment and malnutrition, he died in April 1945.
