Career in National Socialism
In May 1937 he joined the NSDAP ( membership number 4,691,483). He was probably a member of the SA from 1923 onwards . He joined the SS on August 28, 1933 (SS no. 179.765). On September 13, 1936 he was appointed Hauptsturmführer . From May 2 to May 29, 1936, Lolling performed an exercise in the Reichsmarine . On July 30, 1936, he had to make a declaration that he had not taken morphine since 1932 and was therefore not addicted to drugs.
Lolling was as GP out and was September 1936 as SS-Season doctor and medical officer at the Verfügungstruppe at the SS officer school in Bad Tolz used and from the beginning of November 1936 physicians in the SS hospital Dachau.
From the beginning of December 1939 Lolling was employed in the SS Totenkopf Division . From May 6, 1940 to February 11, 1941, he worked as a camp doctor in the Dachau concentration camp , and on February 12, 1941, the SS leadership main office appointed the chief of the medical office, Enno Lolling, as the chief doctor of the Sachsenhausen concentration camp .
From the beginning of June 1941 he was the chief physician in the inspection of the concentration camps . On March 3, 1942, Lolling was appointed head of Office D III of the SS Economic and Administrative Main Office for Sanitation and Warehouse Hygiene, based in Oranienburg, and thus Senior Physician KL , d.

After that he was active again in the same position until the end of the war , since November 9, 1943 with the rank of SS-Standartenführer .
Responsibilities
The camp doctors, for whose work Lolling was responsible as superior, had to accompany all extermination operations and were regularly present at the gassings . Disinfectors from all concentration camps, who were trained centrally in Oranienburg on how to deal with Zyklon B during disinfestation , were informed that it would also kill people in camps in the east. Lolling advised the course participants that if an order came, they would have to be ready to carry it out.
In autumn 1941, Lolling informed the first camp doctor at the Dachau concentration camp that a commission headed by Werner Heyde would select prisoners who were unable to work and send them to Mauthausen for gassing . Presumably in May 1942, Lolling ordered the camp doctor Friedrich Entress to kill incurably mentally ill, incurably tuberculous and permanently incapacitated people with phenol syringes . In the winter of 1942, the order was extended to sick inmates whose recovery would take more than four weeks. Lolling approved human trials for a typhus vaccine in 1944 and was later in attendance when the lethal effects of a cyanide capsule were tested.
At the end of the war, Lolling fled to Flensburg via the so-called Rattenlinie Nord . The 56-year-old died there by suicide on May 27, 1945 in the reserve hospital . After the end of the war, Lolling was repeatedly named as the person responsible in the Ravensbrück trials by the accused medical staff. Other offenders who had to answer in court described Lolling as completely incompetent and addicted to alcohol.
