Albert Vettermann, born out of wedlock on 19 December 1900, was recognized as a legitimate child by his biological father at the age of nine after living with his grandmother. After attending school, he began an apprenticeship as a merchant. His father served as a sergeant in the First World War in 1915. Albert had to break off his apprenticeship and help his stepmother in the store.
In 1918, he enlisted in the war and fought in France for two months. After his return, he first worked in his parents' business, then in a margarine factory in Chemnitz until 1927. After a long period of unemployment, he found work in the summer of 1937 building the Reich highway and moved to Wiedenzhausen. In October 1937, he was arrested there for seduction of a minor (§175) and sentenced to one year and nine months in prison. His prison term was subsequently extended to two years and three months.
In March 1940, he took up a job with the Schuster company in Dachau. Shortly afterwards, he was placed under surveillance on the instructions of the Munich criminal investigation department. In November 1940, he was taken to Dachau concentration camp as a „police security prisoner“ to „prevent new crimes“.
In 1941, Albert Vettermann was transferred to the Ravensbrück concentration camp and on March 25, 1942, he was murdered in the Bernburg/Saale killing center, presumably because he was no longer deemed fit for work.
