Hofrat Dr. Herbert Crammer

Herbert Crammer was born in Geras as the legitimate son of the lawyer Othmar Crammer and Maria, née Krebs. After elementary school, he attended grammar school in Klosterneuburg and was accepted into the Arminia secondary school fraternity in Klosterneuburg in 1936. After the invasion of the German Wehrmacht in free and independent Austria, he founds the 'Freikorpsfähnlein St. Leopold' together with Otto Mraz and Kurt Schleifer out of a deep sense of patriotism. Together with other Arminians and his older brother Walter Crammer, he joins the resistance group 'Austrian Freedom Movement' around the Klosterneuburg canon Karl Roman Scholz, which is smashed in the summer of 1940 by Otto Hartmann's betrayal. During this time, fraternity life continued in secret. Herbert Crammer, together with his fraternity brothers Franz Fuchs and Bruno Prodinger, managed to rescue Fläuse und Schläger from the HJ's confiscated hut.

After the betrayal of the castle actor and confidant Otto Hartmann, Herbert Crammer was arrested on 27 August 1940 during another betrayal. Herbert Crammer was arrested on 27 August 1940 during another Gestapo arrest operation on suspicion of "acting for an organization to the detriment of the German Reich"; the protective custody order was issued on 26 September 1940. From 3 December 1940, he was considered an "investigative prisoner" of the People's Court. As such, he was released at the request of the "Reich Prosecutor" on April 5, 1943. He was never charged (and therefore never sentenced), but was drafted into the German Wehrmacht shortly after his release. After being wounded on the Eastern Front, he arrived in Vienna in March 1945 shortly before the Red Army arrived.

In the spring semester of 1945, Herbert Crammer began studying medicine at the University of Vienna, but switched to law and political science after just one semester, graduating with a doctorate in law in 1949. In the summer of 1949, he joined the concept service of the Vienna Federal Police Directorate. After various commissariats, he became secretary to the police vice-president and in the fall of 1955 he took over as head of the Penzing district commissariat. In the summer of 1967, he was appointed police director of Eisenstadt. From late autumn 1970, he worked in Vienna again, until the end of 1978 as Chairman of the Disciplinary Commission at the Vienna Federal Police Directorate and from 1979 as Senate Chairman of the Disciplinary Commission at the Federal Ministry of the Interior.

He was involved in the ÖVP-Kameradschaft der politisch Verfolgten und Bekenner für Österreich, also as a board member. He retired as Chairman of the Senate and died in Vienna at the age of 101.
