Joachim Schroedter (born April 2, 1897 in Breslau ; † July 1, 1934 in Dresden ) was a German medic , SA leader and one of the victims of the so-called Röhm Putsch .

Live and act

Schroedter was the son of Alfred Schroedter, the authorized representative of the mining company G. v. Giesche's heirs and his wife Frieda, née Doemmel. From 1903 to 1914 he attended the Realgymnasium am Zwinger in Breslau .

Shortly after the outbreak of World War I in the summer of 1914, Schroedter joined the 11th Grenadier Regiment as a volunteer, with whom he fought on the Western Front until the end of the war. He passed his Abitur on June 11, 1915 while on leave from the front. During the war he was awarded the Iron Cross of both classes, the Württemberg and Hessian bravery medals , the Teutonic Knights Cross and the Silesian Eagle of both classes. Later he received the commemorative coin for the war and the badge for the wounded in black.

After leaving the army on April 30, 1919, Schroedter began studying dentistry at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Breslau in the interim semester of 1919 . There he passed the pre-examination in June 1920 and the state examination in July 1922 with the grade of good. 1923 doctorate he with a dissertation over a case of arsenic Kiefernekrose after application to Dr. med. dent . Then he settled as a dentist in Liegnitz .

On November 1, 1930, Schroedter joined the NSDAP (membership number 351.249). He also became a member of the Sturmabteilung (SA), the party's hall protection and street fighting organization. In the following years Schroedter belonged to the inner circle around the Silesian SA chief Edmund Heines . By the Führer order No. 9 of the Supreme SA Leadership of April 15, 1932, Schroedter was appointed leader of the SA Standard 58 with effect from October 1, 1931 and at the same time promoted to the rank of SA Standard Leader.

After the National Socialists came to power in the spring of 1933, Schroedter was promoted to SA-Oberführer with effect from July 7, 1933 and shortly afterwards, on September 1, 1933, after being relieved of his previous position, was appointed leader of SA Standard 56.

Just a few weeks after he had taken over the leadership of SA Standard 56, Schroedter was relieved of this position on October 15, 1933, and instead assigned to lead SA Brigade 33 in Dresden. Schroedter's move from Silesia to Saxony was probably related to the recent takeover of the leadership of the Saxon SA by Hans Hayn , who had been Schroedter's superior there from 1931 to 1933 as staff leader of the SA group Silesia. After Schroedter had proven himself in his new post in Saxony, his transfer was made permanent by being appointed leader of the SA Brigade 33 on January 1, 1934. Linked to this was Schroedter's appointment as site manager of the SA for the Dresden site.

In the autumn of 1933 Schroedter was transferred to Dresden with the rank of SA Oberführer as leader of the SA Brigade 33. In this position Schroedter was arrested on June 30, 1934 in the course of the Röhm affair and in the early morning hours of July 1, 1934 in the SS barracks in Dresden- Trachenberge together with three other people ( Ernst Ewald Martin , Lamberdus Ostendorp , Otto Pietrzok) shot dead by members of the Political Readiness of Saxony. In the official list of deaths for the Röhm Putsch, Schroedter is falsely identified with the name Joachim Schröder .
