biography

Faber was the son of a senior medical officer. After graduating from high school , he began studying law in Berlin in 1913; later study locations were Geneva and Munich. After the outbreak of the First World War he interrupted his studies and did military service in the German army . After the end of the war, he was discharged from the army as a reserve lieutenant in 1920 and continued his studies. In November 1921 he passed the first state law examination in Erlangen and then completed his legal clerkship. In March 1924 he passed the assessor examination in Munich and then worked as a lawyer in the Coburg area until October 1931.

He had already joined the NSDAP at the beginning of February 1928. Within the SA he rose to the position of Oberführer . From June 1929 to May 1933 he acted as deputy leader of the NSDAP parliamentary group in the city council of Coburg . On October 16, 1931, he was elected the legally qualified, full-time 2nd mayor. On the same day, Franz Schwede became the 1st honorary mayor in Coburg. In June 1933 he was appointed managing director and on September 20, 1933 officially appointed Lord Mayor of Wittenberg . He was Lord Mayor of Stettin from the beginning of September 1934 until the Red Army marched in in the spring of 1945 . He took over the chairmanship of the supervisory board of Großkraftwerk Stettin AG. In 1937 he became a member of the Pomeranian Provincial Council and from 1938 was Gauamtsleiter for local politics in Pomerania. He also took over the chairmanship of the German Congregational Assembly in Pomerania. Faber ran unsuccessfully on the "Fuehrer's list for the election of the Greater German Reichstag on April 10, 1938".

At the end of the Second World War , in March 1945, Faber arranged for the special parts of the painting collection of the Stettin City Museum to be transported to Coburg. In the early 1970s, the Szczecin art treasures were given to the Pomeranian Foundation . 30 years later they came to the Pomeranian State Museum .

At the end of the war, Faber fled to Denmark, where he was arrested.

In March and April 1933 152 people were arrested in Coburg and severely mistreated in “ protective custody ” in the presence of Faber and Swede. At the end of January 1951, the events led against Swede and eleven other former SS members to criminal proceedings before the Coburg regional court for deprivation of liberty, assault and coercion in office. They put the blame on Faber, who was not present.

On November 13, 1950, Faber was discharged seriously ill from the Coburg rural hospital and was last seen in Hamburg on February 26, 1951.
