🇩🇪 HERMANN ESSER
July 1900 – February 1981
Hermann Esser was born on July 29, 1900, in Röhrmoos, in the Kingdom of Bavaria, part of the German Empire. He was one of the early members of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party (NSDAP) and became one of Adolf Hitler’s close associates during the party’s formative years in the 1920s.
Initially working as a journalist, Esser used his writing to promote the party’s propaganda. He became known for his extreme rhetoric and played a significant role in shaping the NSDAP’s early messaging. Esser participated in the failed Beer Hall Putsch in 1923 and was briefly imprisoned alongside other party leaders. Despite some temporary fallings-out with Hitler, he remained a member of the inner circle.
After the NSDAP came to power in 1933, Esser held several official roles, including serving as a member of the Reichstag and as State Secretary for Propaganda under Joseph Goebbels for a time. However, his influence declined in the later years of the regime, and he did not play a central role in the wartime leadership.
After World War II, Esser was arrested and sentenced to prison during the denazification process. He lived a relatively quiet life after his release and died on February 7, 1981, in Munich, West Germany.
