Life

Gerhard Schiedlausky studied medicine in Berlin and Innsbruck and passed his state examination in Berlin in 1931.

The Nazi party he belonged since September 1, 1931 ( membership number 617194). He was an SS member initially from December 1932 to July 1933 and again from 1936 (SS No. 213.323). In the meantime he worked as a medical assessor in the police from 1933 to 1934, which made it necessary to leave the SS. Until 1939, Schiedlausky practiced as a doctor outside the SS.

In October 1939 he was drafted into the Waffen-SS with the rank of SS-Unterscharführer and sent to the immigrant headquarters in Poznan . This dealt with the resettlement of Germans from the Baltic countries. In January 1941, in the meantime with the rank of SS-Untersturmführer , Schiedlausky received military training in Hamburg-Langenhorn with the SS- reserve troop “Germania” in a three-month medical course.

After this training, he was on the SS-Sanitäts Feldersatzbataillon in various concentration camps ( KZ Dachau , Oranienburg , Mauthausen , Flossenbiirg offset). On December 18, 1941, he came to Berlin and was assigned from there to the Ravensbrück women's concentration camp as an SS medical officer, where he stayed until August 1943. He testified that he had replaced Walter Sonntag as on-site doctor there, because he had aroused official displeasure through his love affair with his future wife, the camp doctor Gerda Weyand . In Ravensbrück, Rolf Rosenthal , Herta Oberheuser , Richard Trommer and Percival Treite reported to him as camp doctors . His immediate superior was Enno Lolling . After that, Schiedlausky worked for two months in the Natzweiler-Struthof concentration camp and from October 1943 until the liberation in the Buchenwald concentration camp , most recently with the rank of Hauptsturmführer .

According to his own statements, Schiedlausky entered the concentration camp service because he was promised at the time that his service there would only last six months and should serve as preparation for the medical service at the front, wherever he had always wanted to go (cf. Percival Treite). After six months, however, it was explained to him, "It is not feasible to serve as an older doctor at the front under a younger doctor," so he remained in the concentration camp.

In the first of the seven Ravensbrück trials , witnesses unanimously stated that he abused and insulted women during so-called investigations. It was also Schiedlausky who requested the prisoners necessary for the experiments from the camp commandant. He himself denied this and stated in court that he had only participated in operations, but not in selections or experiments.

Schiedlausky was sentenced to death in Hamburg on February 3, 1947 . Among other things, his mother and wife made appeals for clemency on the grounds that he was a good doctor and therefore could not have committed the offenses he was accused of. The applications were rejected and Schiedlausky moved to confirmation of the judgment on March 31, 1947 to Hameln, where he on May 3, 1947 at 9:37 by slopes executed was.
