biography

Worster, a businessman by profession, had been a member of the NSDAP ( membership number 1.667.492) and SS (member number 114.309) since April 1933 . Worster was part of the guards at the Osthofen concentration camp from March 1933 to mid-1934 . From November 1937 he was assigned to the camp commandant of the Dachau concentration camp, where he was the administrative manager of the site administration from May 1939 to mid-August 1941.

From September 1941 to June 7, 1944 Worster was the administrative manager of the site administration in the Majdanek concentration camp. Worster's task in the administrative area of ​​the Majdanek and Dachau concentration camps was the procurement and distribution of food, clothing and necessities. He was therefore partly responsible for the inadequate supply situation for the prisoners in these concentration camps.

In the course of June 1944 he was transferred to the 15th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (Latvian No. 1) and from there on January 1, 1945 to the East Turkish Arms Association .

After the war ended, Worster lived in Osthofen again and worked as a commercial clerk in a winery in Oppenheim .
