Georg Sperber (politician)
Georg Sperber (born September 19, 1897 in Schupf , Hersbruck district ; † November 1943 in the Aegean Sea ) was a German politician ( NSDAP ), SA leader and mayor of Hersbruck.
Live and act
After attending primary school (1904 to 1911), Sperber completed an apprenticeship as an estate administrator by 1914. From 1914 to 1918 he took part in the First World War as a war volunteer . After the war, Sparhawk was part of a volunteer corps .
From 1919 to 1933, Sparhawk earned his living as a civil servant at the Deutsche Reichspost . He also married in 1919. The marriage had at least two children. Another child was born alive during an abortion in 1928, but disappeared immediately afterwards, which gave rise to the rumor in Hersbruck that the sparrowhawk had drowned it.
In 1922 at the latest he became a member of the NSDAP, in which he took over the leadership of a local group and a district association that year. In 1924, Sperber took over his first public office when he was appointed city councilor in his home town of Hersbruck.
In 1932, Sperber was elected as a member of the Bavarian state parliament for the NSDAP .
After the National Socialist seizure of power in spring 1933, Sperber was appointed mayor of Hersbruck in April of the same year. From November 1933 until his mandate expired in March 1941, he was also a member of the Berlin Reichstag as a member of constituency 26 (Franconia). In the Sturmabteilung (SA), the paramilitary arm of the Nazi movement, Sperber achieved the rank of standard leader at this time.
After his divorce in late 1935, Sperber married the gymnast Julchen Lobinger in May 1936.
When Sperber's friend, the Franconian Gauleiter Julius Streicher , was defeated in the power struggle against the Nuremberg Police Chief Benno Martin in the autumn of 1939 , Sperber's position also wavered: The SS dug up the old case of the missing child. Sparhawk was then arrested and sentenced to six years in prison. Simultaneously with his conviction, Sperber was also stripped of his seat in the Reichstag. Due to the steadily worsening war situation, Sparhawk was not imprisoned but sent to the theater of war in the Mediterranean as a soldier. There he died in 1943 when a ship sank in the Aegean Sea.
