Life

Johannes Baptist Ferdinand passed his Abitur at the Berthold-Gymnasium Freiburg . He then studied law in Freiburg and Berlin. In 1005 he volunteered for a year in the 5th Baden Infantry Regiment No. 113 . He then did his doctorate as Dr. jur. in Freiburg on the subject of "The legal remedy of the complaint". Initially employed as a court assessor in Waldshut , he interrupted this activity because of the First World War . There he fought in the Vosges and was awarded the Iron Cross . In 1918 he left the service as a lieutenant .

Ferdinand was then to become a magistrate in Pforzheim , but did not take up this position. Instead he was magistrate in Lörrach and then in Ettenheim. From 1928 to 1932 he was promoted to prosecutor . From 1932 to 1933 he was a senior councilor . His career ended with the seizure of power because he did not want to come to terms with the National Socialists . He went to the civil chamber of the Karlsruhe Regional Court as district court director, where he stayed until his retirement.

As early as 1927 he was active as a writer. His first work appeared this year with The Ettenheim District Court . This was followed by episodes from the history of Ettenheim as well as miscelles from the past and present of the Ettenheim district , the latter together with Albert Köbele. He continued this journalistic activity in retirement. Various collections of his essays were published, in particular on the history of Ettenheim, but also the surrounding towns. He also published in daily newspapers and home magazines. In 1950 he became an honorary citizen of Ettenheim. In 1956 he received the Federal Cross of Merit on Ribbon and in 1965 the Federal Cross of Merit 1st class.
