Edwin Gebauer

Edwin Gebauer (born 16 June 1884 in Borna, Leipzig - date of death unknown) was a German politician and member of the Nazi Party.

From a rural background, Gebauer worked on the family poultry farm and at their forge before serving in the First World War with the Fuß-Artillerie-Regiment Nr. 12. He was awarded the Iron Cross Second Class and the Friedrich-August-Medal for his war service.[1]

He became involved in rightist politics in 1924 and joined the Nazi Party at an unknown date.[1] He became a Director in the Sturmabteilung in 1926, achieving the rank of Sturmbannführer in 1931 and Standartenführer in 1937.[1]

In the July 1932 election to the Reichstag he was elected to serve as a member for Wahlkreis 3 (Potsdam II) representing the Nazis.[2] He was not re-elected in November 1932 when the Nazis suffered a sizeable decline in their vote.
