- Hans Zöberlein (born 1895 in Nuremberg, died 1964 in Munich) was a National Socialist German writer and SA brigade leader. Son a shoemaker, he learned the masonry and stone carving trades, was promoted to vice sergeant in World War I and was awarded the Iron Cross and the highest Bavarian war decoration for non-commissioned officers and enlisted men. After the end of the war, Zöberlein joined the Freikorps Epp and was thus involved in the suppression of the Soviet Republic in Bavaria. In 1921 he joined the NSDAP and the SA as member no. 869 and took part in the Munich Putsch of November 9, 1923. By attending secondary schools, he qualified as an architect, a profession he apparently practiced in Munich in the 1920s without much success. Originally, he was supposed to work with the architect Otto Schiedermaier to remodel the Barlow-Palais (later the "Brown House") on Brienner Strasse, which the NSDAP intended to be used as an office and party headquarters in July 1930, but Hitler gave preference to the better-known architect Paul Ludwig Troost. In the SA, which was deprived of power after the "Röhm Putsch", Zöberlein only made slow progress, but was appointed SA brigade leader in 1943. He was also on the SA culture committee and president of the highly respected Order of the Bavarian Medal for Bravery. In Munich he was NSDAP city councilor and made a name for himself as a cultural politician through his works in Munich. In 1934 Zöberlein also became head of the newly founded cultural office, responsible for fine arts, literature and theater including all libraries as well as for music and film. - In Penzberg, a town south of Munich, residents had deposed the Nazi mayor shortly before the end of the war and wanted to bring about the capitulation of the city to the advancing American troops to avoid bloodshed and destruction. Then Zöberlein left on 28./29. April 1945 as leader of a "werewolf" - Commandos execute several citizens as traitors ("Penzberg murder night"). He was sentenced to death for this in 1948.
