Life

Ellenbeck was the son of the doctor Hans Ellenbeck (1870-1942) and Helene (1881-1939), née Sondermann. In his youth he attended a preschool and the humanistic grammar school of the Hindenburg School in Düsseldorf for three years , where he passed the final examination on March 5, 1930.

Then began Ellenbeck - "to take to the profession of my father" - in Freiburg with the study of medicine . In the winter semester of 1930/1931 he continued this at the University of Cologne and then switched to Bonn for three semesters until the medical pre-examination, where he passed the pre-examination on July 28, 1932. Ellenbeck spent the first clinical semester in the winter of 1932/1933 at the University of Innsbruck . In the summer of 1933 he then studied at the Medical Academy in Düsseldorf , before completing again in Innsbruck in the winter semester of 1933/1934. From the summer semester of 1934 to the summer semester of 1935, he then studied three more semesters (9th to 11th semester) at the Medical Academy in Düsseldorf, where he passed the medical state examination on November 29, 1935. There he submitted his dissertation in 1936 under the supervision of Randerath.

During the Second World War Ellenbeck was deployed in the SS headquarters in Berlin-Lichterfelde . There he was employed by Department XVI (Blood Conservation) of Office Group D.
