History
Conrad Bitzer was a lawyer and politician in Ontario, Canada. He served as mayor of Berlin (now Kitchener), Ontario in 1892. Bitzer was born in Preston, Ontario, the son of immigrants from Germany. He was called to the Ontario bar in 1881 and set up practice in Berlin, the first German-speaking lawyer to practice in the area. He was a member of the local Board of Trade. Bitzer was nominated as the Liberal candidate for the Waterloo North seat in the Canadian House of Commons for the 1900 general election, but withdrew before the election date.
