Professional career

Lobbes joined the criminal investigation department after the First World War . He was a member of the NSDAP (membership number 1,867,556). Lobbes caused a sensation in 1934 as head of the murder commission of the Berlin criminal police in the investigation of the child murderer Adolf Seefeldt , who is said to have killed at least twelve, but probably more than a hundred, children between 1933 and 1935. Later Lobbes was appointed to the Reich Criminal Police Office (RKPA). After the founding of the Reich Security Main Office , he took over the management of Section VB 1 (Capital Crimes) in Office Group V (Reich Criminal Police) as a Government and Criminal Counselor. Later he was entrusted with the management of the operations department of the RKPA. In this capacity he was responsible for the executive of the entire German criminal police.

After the so-called Bürgerbräu attack on Adolf Hitler in November 1939, Lobbes was appointed by Arthur Nebe to the special commission to investigate the attack. He was entrusted with the management of the so-called crime scene commission while Franz Josef Huber took over the management of the so-called perpetrators commission. Lobbes succeeded in the investigation including the watch type to identify the as a detonator of the bomb, which had been used in the assassination attempt, and in this way the basis for the identification of the buyer of the watch and thus the perpetrator, Georg Elser to create, .

In August 1944, a few weeks after the failed coup on July 20, 1944, Lobbes was arrested by his fellow Gestapo workers on suspicion of being involved in the coup. During his interrogation, he stated that on July 15, 1944, Nebe had provided officers in the Secret State Police Office who should have brought the office into their power after a successful assassination attempt on Hitler on behalf of the coup government.

In 1951, Hans Lobbes was appointed along with nine other former top officials from the Reich Criminal Police Office to set up the newly created Federal Criminal Police Office . Despite their brown past, they did not want to forego their knowledge and create a centralized police force with far-reaching executive powers, as they had already functioned successfully in combating crime in the Third Reich.

Lobbes was married to Gertrud, née Rammin, since 1922, with whom he had the daughter Ingrid (born May 12, 1926 in Berlin).
