Albert Komp

Albert Komp was a German-American who was active in New York City in the mid-nineteenth century.

In 1857 Komp joined Friedrich Sorge, Fritz Jacobi and Fr Kamm in setting up the New York Communist Club.[1] He was a bank manager.[2] He was also active in the American Workers League, alongside James McGuire and Ida B. Davis.[3]

Komp was in correspondence with Karl Marx for a number of years, requesting literature such as The Poverty of Philosophy and the Neue Rheinische Zeitung be sent to him in New York.[4]

Komp was a childhood friend of Joseph Dietzgen, and in 1861 Ditzgen left the manuscript of his article Schwarz oder Weiss with him when he left for Germany.[5]
