Ernst Lawaczeck

Ernst Lawaczeck (born February 18, 1890 in Camberg , Limburg district ; † October 12, 1950 there ) was a doctor and medical officer, from 1933 mayor ( NSDAP ) of Camberg and from 1939 to 1941 district chairman of the National Socialist German Medical Association in Limburg .

education and profession

Ernst Lawaczeck attended a humanistic grammar school. He studied medicine in Halle and received his doctorate in 1921 on the subject of "Premonitorial symptoms of eclampsia in the cases of the University Women's Clinic in the last three years" . He then worked as a general practitioner in Bad Camberg. After his arrest in 1945 and the later conviction by the Americans, Ernst Lawaczeck was no longer allowed to practice as a doctor because of his active support for the Nazi terror regime.

Political activity and offices

From 1928 Ernst Lawaczeck worked publicly for the NSDAP. Together with his brother Paul, he promoted the new political group. In 1933 he became mayor of Camberg in place of Johann Pipberger, who had been deposed from office in the course of the " Gleichschaltung ". Ernst Lawaczeck was local group leader of the NSDAP and from 1934 district chairman of the National Socialist German Medical Association (NSDÄB) in Limburg as well as department head of the district staff for public health in the Limburg district.

Action against political opponents and expropriation of the Israelite religious community in Camberg

As mayor, Ernst Lawaczeck already acted with extreme severity against political opponents in 1933. On September 6, 1933, the worker Jakob Voss was brought to the Camberg District Court prison by the SS because of a political remark at Lawaczeck's instigation . In order to improve the finances of the city of Camberg, Lawaczeck cooperated as mayor with the then District Administrator Uerpmann from 1938 to 1940, in order to transfer the properties of Jewish cemeteries to the property of the municipality without compensation. Ernst Lawaczeck also led the fight against " Political Catholicism ", which he defined in the region around Camberg as an urgent task of the NSDAP due to the strong anchoring of the center .
