Life

He was the son of a student councilor i. R. His denomination was Protestant. In 1908 he passed the first state examination with “good”, the second in 1912 with “sufficient”. In the same year he became a court assessor. On August 1, 1918, he became a public prosecutor in Duisburg. In 1921 he was promoted to the Public Prosecutor's Office. In 1927 he was appointed first public prosecutor at the public prosecutor's office at the Potsdam district court . In 1930 he became a member of the chamber judge . On January 23, 1935, he was seconded to the Reich Prosecutor's Office as an assistant judge . On May 15 he came to the Reichsgericht as an assistant judge. Iber was appointed Reich judge on August 1, 1936. Among other things, he was active in the 5th and 4th Criminal Senate. From May 1, 1937, he was a member of the NSDAP ( membership number 5,823,882), and from February 1939 block leader . On April 20, 1938, he received the silver Loyalty Service Medal .

After the occupation of Leipzig by the Red Army in 1945, he was arrested by the NKVD . He died in 1946 in special camp No. 1 Mühlberg . There has been a memorial plaque in the main building of the Federal Court of Justice since 1957 for 34 of the members of the Reichsgericht and Reichswaltschaft who died there . In 1979 the memorial plaque was criticized because in 1939 Iber helped convict a Jewish electrician for attempted “ racial disgrace ”. In that case, the electrician asked a girl to have sex. The judges justified the verdict with the following: “ The attempted racial disgrace is an act which, because of its direct association with a sexual act, naturally appears to be part of it. It can therefore lie in the mere oral request from the man. It is legally irrelevant that Elli C. did not agree with the defendant's request, nor that the defendant did not touch the girl at all. "
