Josef Dungl

Josef Dungl attended grammar school in Vienna and became a co-founder of the Donaumark secondary school fraternity on June 15, 1922. After graduating from high school, he began studying law and was accepted into the Danubia student fraternity in 1925.

He suffered from epilepsy, which was initially treated at the University Psychiatric Clinic. This prevented him from completing his studies. On 11 June 1930, he is transferred to the "Am Steinhof" state sanatorium and nursing home on the Baumgartner Höhe in Vienna for further inpatient treatment.

After the Anschluss, Josef Dungl falls under the Nazi euthanasia program ("Aktion T 4"). He was transported to a "sanatorium" in the Altreich on August 12, 1940 - according to the "official" version. To disguise this, his mother was told that he had been transferred to the Sonnenstein asylum near Pima, Saxony. In reality, he was transferred to Hartheim Castle near Linz on August 12, 1940, where he was murdered with gas on August 28, 1940 and then cremated. One of the gassing doctors and T 4 experts was the deputy medical director of Hartheim, SS-Obersturmführer Georg Renno (1907-1997).
