biography

Manderbach was born the son of a steiger . After studying arts and crafts, he took part in the First World War with the 77th Field Artillery Regiment from Leipzig from August 1914 until the end of the war in 1918 , during which he was promoted to lieutenant in the reserve. From 1920 he worked professionally as a decorator, house painter and interior designer.

In 1919 Manderbach joined the Free Corps Iron Division , with which he was involved in battles in the Baltic States . In 1920 he took part in the Kapp Putsch against Weimar democracy. In 1922 he joined the NSDAP in his place of residence, Siegen, and was a member of the German-Völkisch freedom movement and the Völkisch-Soziale Block (Hitler-Straßer), substitute organizations of the NSDAP, and then again a member of the reorganized NSDAP. From at least 1931 he headed the Siegerland-Wittgenstein-Olpe district. He was a co-founder of branches of the NSDAP, such as the SA, in Siegerland and publisher of the Siegerländer National-Zeitung , the regional party newspaper , which has been published since the early 1930s . From August 1, 1933, Manderbach was also the editor of the Wittgensteiner National-Zeitung , the regional party newspaper in the Wittgenstein district , after the Wittgensteiner Kreisblatt had finished printing . Between November 1929 and 1933 Manderbach was a city councilor in Siegen. From 1932 until its dissolution in 1933, he was a member of the Prussian state parliament . From November 1933 until the end of the Nazi regime he was a member of the politically insignificant National Socialist Reichstag for constituency 18 (Westphalia South).

During National Socialism he was head of the Reich Main Office of the NSDAP, area inspector (1935), personal assistant to the Führer’s deputy , head (“castle commandant”) of Ordensburg Vogelsang (1936–1939) and the Speer construction staff of the Todt organization (1942–1945). In 1938 Manderbach was appointed brigade leader of the SA. He was an “ old fighter ” and holder of the “Old Guard” badge and the War Merit Cross . After the German attack on the Soviet Union in 1941 Manderbach was area commissioner in the Ukraine .

After the collapse of National Socialism, he was interned by the British military government as a Nazi burden (1945–1947) and then provisionally classified in the rarest and most burdensome denazification category III in the mass proceedings . In the local procedure, the classification was changed in his favor to IV (“fellow traveler”) on the grounds that he was “always an opponent of the entire Nazi system”.
