Life

Thereafter he spent several months with the Freikorps Epp. Following his graduation from medical school in June 1920 he opened a medical practice in Kirchseeon. In 1930 he became a member of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP), commonly referred to in English as the Nazi Party (Membership number 340.925). He immediately became the Town Group Leader and Deputy Regional Leader. In 1931 he joined the General SS. Ebner met Heinrich Himmler in 1930 and was his house doctor for many years.{{cn|date=December 2023}}

In addition, he was the Chairman of the Disciplinary Court of the National Socialist Doctor's League from 1938. In 1939, he gained the rank of SS-Oberführer.{{cn|date=December 2023}}
