Life

Ernst Weinmann, Erwin Weinmann's older brother , completed his school career with a degree in dentistry at the University of Tübingen , which he completed with a doctorate . The title of his dissertation , published in 1931, was Clinical Investigations on Dental Diathermy .

Weinmann had already joined the NSDAP ( membership number 70.136) and SA in 1927 . After completing his studies, Weinmann became deputy district leader and local group leader of the NSDAP in Tübingen and led the NSDAP faction in the local council. He was also a member of the leadership council of the University of Tübingen and was chairman of the honorary judge in the honorary council.

Weinmann succeeded Adolf Scheef as Lord Mayor of Tübingen in 1939 and held this office until April 1945. From 1940 to 1942 Weinmann was temporarily represented by City Councilor Max Stockburger and then until 1944 by Kornwestheim Mayor Alfred Kercher .

From 1936 Weinmann belonged to the security service of the Reichsführer SS (SD). He headed the SD branch in Tübingen. Weinmann changed from the SA to the SS in 1938 (membership number 308.173) and in 1944 achieved the rank of SS Obersturmbannführer in this NS organization .

After the outbreak of the Second World War he worked - probably from 1940 - at the Reich Security Main Office in Department IV D. After the Balkan campaign , Weinmann was appointed “Representative for resettlement with the military commander in Serbia” in Belgrade . In this capacity he was in Yugoslavia at Jewish deportations and forced relocation of Slovenes involved. Weinmann was called the "executioner of Belgrade". In September 1942 Weinmann was awarded the War Merit Cross First Class with Swords.

In the last months of the war, Weinmann stayed in Tübingen again. Shortly before the French troops marched into the city, he set Fritz Haussmann (1873–1951) as head of an emergency administration in mid-April 1945 and then went into hiding. Weinmann voluntarily went into French internment at the end of 1945 and was then extradited to Yugoslavia, where he was charged with participating in the Nazi resettlement policy. On December 22, 1946, Weinmann was sentenced to death in Belgrade . The sentence was carried out in Belgrade on January 20, 1947.
