Life

Weibrecht joined the NSDAP on March 1, 1932 ( membership number 1.003.285) and the SS on April 15, 1933 (membership number 55.080). As an SS man and auxiliary policeman, Weibrecht became a member of the guards in the Dachau concentration camp . There he became adjutant to Theodor Eicke , the Dachau camp commandant , in the spring of 1934 . In this capacity, Weibrecht accompanied Eicke in the reorganization of the concentration camps over the next two years . At the beginning of 1935, as well as Eicke and Ferdinand Zachmann, Weibrecht was one of three proven employees of the so-called Central Department of the Inspection of the Concentration Camps (IKL). The relationship with Eicke seems to have been extremely close. Eicke wrote on the occasion of a planned transfer of his adjutant:

"I ask my adjutants, SS-Truppführer Weibrecht from the KLD, to leave me alone, as Fraurecht is an indispensable support for me."

On the occasion of the Röhm affair on June 30, 1934, Weibrecht was promoted to Untersturmführer. In the autumn of 1936, Eicke released Weibrecht from his functions and switched to the general SS. He later worked in the Reich student leadership.

On October 16, 1939, Weibrecht was appointed as Herbert Lange's successor in command of Fort VII (also known as Posen concentration camp), one of the first concentration camps that the SS founded in occupied Poland . Weibrecht ran the camp, which was located near Posen , until October 15, 1941. Numerous Poles and Jews were killed in Fort VII under the supervision of Weibrecht. In addition, so-called mentally ill people were murdered there for the first time with the help of gas in October and November 1939.

After the beginning of the " war against the Soviet Union ", from August 10, 1941 to April 1, 1942, Weibrecht was a Hauptsturmführer in Einsatzkommando 10a of Einsatzgruppe D , which carried out mass shootings of Jews and other ideological opponents and undesirable persons in the Soviet Union .

On January 30, 1944, Weibrecht was appointed Sturmbannführer. In the same year he was transferred to the Reich Security Main Office (RSHA).

From October 1944 he was employed by the inspector of the security police and the SD (IdS) in Poznan and later as "chief of the gang fighting units".
