Seeking information about Ernst Albert Herrmann Panzer
« on: Thursday 15 February 24 13:07 GMT (UK) »
I am seeking any further information about my Grandfather Ernst Albert Herrmann Panzer b.1.Jul.1898   d.15 Jul 1964.   He was a High Court Appeal Judge. He married Wilhelma Johanna Lina Hjort on 15 Jul 1924 in Kiel. I have been told that he spent part of WW2 in a hard labour camp for refusing to support "the Party". Places he may have lived include Berlin, Kiel, Hannover and Celle. I have no idea where he practiced, nor do I have any documented evidence of his incarceration in a labour camp.
I feel certain that he must be mentioned somewhere in the German archives, perhaps an obituary or judiciary records. (I do have all the family members and dates).
Any help or pointers would be most welcome.

All I could find was a hand written record for his birth 1/7/1898. Father Johannes and Mother Olga. Of course it was in German, so I don't know exactly what it said. It was dated 4/7/1898 in Berlin. I did however also find a family tree online, which I guess might be yours, but if not it has a photograph of their daughter Margaret on it. She died in Stoke Talmage, Oxford in 1992.
Regards.

Thank you Paco. I have that document, and have built quite a long tree. Margaret(he) was my mother. She was my father's translator when he was stationed at Celle with the BFO. They married in 1947. He was one of the first British officers to marry an "enemy alien" following WW2!

Hi

Did you search for him in the City directories of Berlin?
https://digital.zlb.de/viewer/berliner-adressbuecher/
https://digital.zlb.de/viewer/berliner-adress-telefon-branchenbuecher/

Or in the City directories of the other cities you mentioned?
Here you can find the City directories of Hannover:

https://digitale-sammlungen.gwlb.de/start

Here you can find newspapers of Berlin and many other parts of Germany:

I couldn't find any document that confirms that he was incarcerated in a labor camp here.
