Source-derived summary

Gregor Ebner (24 June 1892 – 22 March 1974) was a medical doctor from Kirchseeon near Munich. During the time of Nazi Germany he served as the medical leader of all the Lebensborn Homes.

Life

Ebner was born in Ichenhausen to Gregor Ebner, a coffee-house proprietor and his wife Marie (née Maurer). From 1914 to 1918, he took part in World War I as an army field doctor. Thereafter he spent several months with the Freikorps Epp. Following his graduation from medical school in June 1920 he opened a medical practice in Kirchseeon. In 1930 he became a member of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), commonly referred to in English as the Nazi Party (Membership number 340.925). He immediately became the Town Group Leader and Deputy Regional Leader. In 1931 he joined the General SS. Ebner met Heinrich Himmler in 1930 and was his house doctor for many years.

In mid-1937, Ebner gave up his private practice and joined the Lebensborn Association full time.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “german physician (1892-1974)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jun 2, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q95340. VIAF identifies the subject as 107111530. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1892, 1974, 1914 and 1918.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
