Live and act

The Heimatverein Steglitz e. V. , home association of the former Berlin district of Steglitz , records Erich Döbrich in his database .

Döbrich took part in the First World War, in which he a. a. the 4th Squadron of the 2nd Uhlan Regiment in Ansbach and a machine gun company took part in the First World War, in which he was wounded twice.

At the end of the 1920s and the beginning of the 1930s, Döbrich was a member of the National Socialist Sturmabteilung (SA) in Berlin. Public sensation was caused Döbrich at that time when he was a leader of the SA Standard I (Charlottenburg, Spandau, Moabit) in the night of 30 to 31 August 1930 on the orders of the supreme commander of the Berlin and East Elbe SA, Walter Stennes , an approximately led twenty-five-member SA command to the offices of the Berlin Gauleitung of the NSDAP to replace the SS guards there, after the SA suspected that the party leadership and the SS would oppose their interests. Since the SS guards refused to obey the Stennes order sent to them by Döbrich and to vacate the premises of the Gauleitung, Döbrich had the door of the Berlin party headquarters broken open, whereupon there was a mass brawl between SA and SS men the office was devastated and two SS men were seriously wounded. The dispute was only resolved by the police.

After Stennes and his supporters left the SA and a substitute secessionist organization was formed in April 1931, Döbrich also left the party army. For Stennes, Döbrich, who was said to have communist sympathies, acted as a liaison to Waldemar Pabst's traditional publishing house .

Before 1939 lived in Steglitzer Kniephofstraße 6.
