biography
Rodenbücher, son of a dyer , worked in several factories from spring 1915 after attending elementary school and trade school. From October 1916 he signed up for twelve years with the Imperial Navy , worked for various naval commands and for several years at the higher naval college. After he left the Reichsmarine in September 1930 , he was accepted into civil service, which he left again in October 1931.
Rodenbücher joined the NSDAP ( membership number 413.447) on January 1, 1931 and the SS (membership number 8.229) on May 5, 1931. He had already been secretary of the NSDAP local group in Kiel-Mitte from September 1930 and had been active as a sports teacher for the SA and SS from December 1930 . In October 1931 he became a full-time SS leader with the rank of SS standard leader . For one year in Kiel in the 40th SS standard, he moved to Bremen in October 1932 and led the local SS section XIV.
After the transfer of power to the National Socialists, Rodenbücher was a State Councilor in Bremen for two months from September 1933 . In November 1933 he moved to Linz in Austria, where he initially led SS Section VIII and from February 1934 the SS Upper Section “Danube”. In May 1934 he returned to Germany and, two months later, on July 21, applied for his departure from the SS. The application was not granted; from August 1934 he took over the management of the Munich-based "processing office" of the NSDAP regional leadership in Austria. He became SS group leader in 1934 . At the same time, Rodenbücher was in charge of the NSDAP's refugee relief organization and the SS collection point until November 1938. From March 1936 , Rodenbücher was a member of the Reichstag for the NSDAP (constituency 23 - Düsseldorf West). Rodenbücher divorced in 1936 and remarried; he was the father of two children.
In January 1939 Rodenbücher was assigned to the main office of the Ordnungspolizei . From June 1, 1939 to the end of April 1941, he was Higher SS and Police Leader (HSSPF) Alpenland and at the same time commander of the SS upper section Alpenland. Rodenbücher was removed from his post as HSSPF in the spring of 1941, probably because he had turned down the post of SSPF Latvia or because there had been conflicts with the local Gauleiter Hofer , Uiberreither and Rainer . He then worked in the Navy until the end of the war, including in the main training department for new warships in Den Helder, the Netherlands . From June 1943 to October 1943 he was deployed as sea and port commander in the Crimea , from October 1943 to March 1945 in the command area sea commander Albania and then with the navy in Norway until the end of the war .
After the end of the war, Rodenbücher was a British prisoner of war until 1948 .
