Kurt Schlosser (18 October 1900 to 16 August 1944) was a German cabinet-maker, climber and active Communist from Dresden. Having lost an arm during his cabinet-making training, he still built up a climbing group of young working-class sportsmen and was active in the Naturfreunde hiking club and the Meissner Hochland section of the German Alpine Club. He led the choir of the United Climbing Companies, which later became the Saxon Mountaineers Choir named after him. From 1933 he and other mountain climbers carried out illegal border work against the Nazi regime, connecting German and Czechoslovak working-class sportsmen. Arrested in December 1943, he was sentenced to death for high treason and beheaded in Dresden on 16 August 1944.
