Live and act

Karl Schilling was born the son of the landowner Julius Schilling and his wife Marie, nee Eibach. He was of the Protestant faith. After attending elementary school and high school in Worms , he studied medicine at the Universities of Giessen, Leipzig, Strasbourg, Munich and Freiburg and was awarded a Dr. med. PhD . During his studies he became a member of the Alemannia Gießen fraternity in 1909 and of the Dresdensia fraternity in Leipzig in 1910 . After completing his studies, he was an assistant doctor at the State Women's Clinic in Dresden. He took part continuously in the First World War with the Guard Grenadier Regiment No. 5 in the medical service.

From 1920 to 1937 he worked as a doctor in Gau-Odernheim . He joined the NSDAP in 1922 and again after the lifting of the party ban in 1925 ( membership number 99.070). He was actively involved in building up the party in Rheinhessen . From January 3, 1929 to September 30, 1937, Schilling served as district leader in Alzey . In 1930 he married his wife Dorothee Mathilde Maria nee Beek in Bremen, and the couple had two children. In 1931 Schilling became a member of the Hessian state parliament . In the summer of 1933 he went through a morphine withdrawal . From March 1933 to 1937 he was a member of the Rheinhessen provincial committee . In addition, from 1934 to 1937 he was head of the public health office at Administrative Unit 13 (Alzey). From 1937 he was a reserve officer in the Wehrmacht , most recently with the rank of medical officer.

On October 1, 1937, Schilling was given full-time employment with the NSDAP and from that point on he was district leader in Darmstadt until the end of the war . During his time in Darmstadt, Schilling lived at Ohlystraße 48 in the Paulusviertel in the house of the Jewish district judge Dr. Paul Langenbach (1883–1968). Langenbach managed to emigrate in 1937 and his house was confiscated.

Schilling is said to have been involved in the desecration and destruction of the synagogues in Darmstadt in November 1938. The deportation of Jewish citizens as well as Sinti and Roma was also one of his tasks. Schilling joined the National Socialist Reichstag on April 2, 1941 in the replacement procedure for the late MP Friedrich Ringshausen , in which he represented constituency 33 (Hesse) until the end of Nazi rule in spring 1945.

After the extensive destruction of Darmstadt on September 11, 1944, he was responsible for maintaining public life. At the end of the Second World War, Schilling fled with his family in a medical vehicle from Darmstadt towards northern Germany. He settled down as a country doctor in Lower Saxony, first in a village near Wolfenbüttel , then in Lengde and finally in Göttingen. He lived there until 1973. Nothing is known of a denazification process.
