Walter Ferber (24 December 1907 - 13 April 1996) was a German opinion journalist. He advocated a Christianity-influenced federalism and was committed to the reconstruction of the German Centre Party after the Second World War. Ferber understood federalism to be a universal social principle that applied to all areas of human community life.

Life and career

Ferber was born in Erle as the ninth of 14 children of the miner Franz Ferber (1872–1950) and the seamstress Maria Ferber, née Weimer (1874–1952). He attended elementary school and a secondary school from 1914 to 1924, which he left to begin a commercial apprenticeship. In his free time he joined the circles around the "Ruhr chaplain" Carl Klinkhammer and the federalist Benedikt Schmittmann and appeared at Center Party meetings from 1925/26. After his apprenticeship he went on a journey and worked, among other places, in a ball bearing factory in Schweinfurt. At the same time, he continued his autodidactical education in history, sociology, pedagogy and political science, spending most of his winters in Berlin, where he also came into contact with Eduard Spranger.
