Ebner was born in Ichenhausen to Gregor Ebner, a coffee-house proprietor and his wife Marie (née Maurer). From 1914 to 1918, he took part in
World War I as an army field doctor. 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. In mid-1937, Ebner gave up his private practice and joined the
Lebensborn Association full time. He remained in the function of medical head of all the Lebensborn run homes. 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. On the 10 March 1948, Ebner was only found guilty of being a member of the SS at the Nuremberg
SS Race and Settlement Main Office hearing and sentenced to time served. Thereafter, he continued his medical practice in
Kirchseeon and
Wolfratshausen. == Bibliography ==
