Dr. Erich Koppensteiner

Erich Koppensteiner visits the Seipl-Gymnasium in Vienna-Meidling. On 26.7.1943 he was moved to the German Wehrmacht and returned to 109. sArt1Rgt in Brno. After a week, he is arrested and detained in Brno for six weeks. He is then sentenced to two years of breeding house “due to the decomposition of the Wehrkraft”.

This judgment, however, is not accepted by General Heinrich Stümpel, the city commander of Vienna (later active resistance fighters), but rather converted into three weeks of sharpened arrest, which has already been settled by the previous six-week U-Haft. It is also imposed as an additional penalty for not being allowed to study “in peace” at a university. At the end of the war Erich Koppensteiner joined the military resistance group “Hohe Wand” in April 1945.

After the war, he completed his medical studies and works as a specialist in dentistry after graduation and training.
