Live and act

Life in the Empire (1891 to 1919)

Fabricius was born in 1891 as the son of first lieutenant and military writer Johann Fabricius. After attending the royal Wilhelms-Gymnasium in Berlin, he studied law at the universities of Freiburg im Breisgau and Berlin. In 1913 he received his doctorate in Greifswald to Dr. jur. In the same year he became a Prussian trainee lawyer.

From 1915 to 1918 Fabricius took part in the First World War as an armored soldier , musketeer, non-commissioned officer , aspiring officer and machine-gun leader . He fought in Russia, Serbia and on the Western Front in France (Battle of Verdun; Summer Battle; Hermann's Position) and was awarded the Iron Cross II class in 1916. In 1918 he was taken prisoner by the British , where he remained until 1919.

Life in the Weimar Republic (1919 to 1933)

After his return from the war, Fabricius passed the major state law examination in 1920. He then entered the judiciary as a Prussian trainee lawyer. From 1921 to 1927, Fabricius worked as a legal adviser to the Reich Commissioner for Monitoring Imports and Exports, to the main investigation office of the Reich Customs Administration and to the Brandenburg State Tax Office in Berlin. From 1921 to 1928 he also worked as a lawyer at the Berlin Higher Regional Court. In 1929 Fabricius joined the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) with membership number 150.461 , and he was also a member of the Kampfbund for German Culture .

In March 1928, Fabricius was employed as a civil servant councilor in the Reich customs administration. From May to September 1928 he was district commissioner in Zittau. From November 1928 he was a councilor at the state tax office in Brandenburg. In October 1929, however, he was suspended from civil service because of his public advocacy of National Socialism, which his superiors considered incompatible with his position in the civil service. In addition, there was a disciplinary procedure that went through several instances and was only discontinued in February 1933.

In September 1930 Fabricius was elected to the Reichstag as his party's candidate for the Berlin constituency. As a result, he was a member of the German parliament without interruption until April 1945. In November 1932 Fabricius took over the post of managing director of the NSDAP faction in the Reichstag. The most important parliamentary event in which Fabricius took part at this time was the passing of the Enabling Act in March 1933, which, in addition to the Reichstag Fire Ordinance of February 1933, formed the basis for the establishment of the National Socialist dictatorship. In September 1939, Fabricius was one of the parliamentarians who formed the staffage for Hitler's famous speech on the occasion of the announcement of the German attack on Poland .

In the NSDAP, Fabricius stood out primarily as a supporter of Wilhelm Frick , who appointed him commissioner of the Thuringian state government for Sonneberg in September 1930 . Fabricius had been the legal advisory council of the city of Sonneberg since June 1930 .

Life under National Socialism (1933 to 1945)

After the " seizure " of the Nazis in the spring of 1933 Fabricius was Frick, who had now become the minister of the interior, into in July 1933 as a senior civil servant and personal assistant to Interior Ministry appointed. In 1939 he was promoted to ministerial director and entrusted with the management of a subdivision of the ministry. In addition, he was Gauamtsleiter of the office for civil servants in Gau Berlin from 1933 to 1945 .

From January 30, 1939, Fabricius held the NSDAP's golden party badge .

Aside from his political activity, Fabricius attracted attention through a number of book publications. Of these writings, the one that appeared in 1932 and reprinted in 1934 and 1936 is Schiller as a comrade in arms of Hitler , in which he declares the Weimar poet to be Adolf Hitler's like-minded and "fiery herald of German will", which is probably the most widely noticed.

In 1944 Fabricius was appointed President of the Senate at the Reich Administrative Court. He died in the final phase of World War II in the fighting for Berlin .
