Biography

Christoph Probst was portrayed by Florian Stetter in the film Sophie Scholl: The Final Days.

On 22 February 1943, Christoph Probst and the Scholls were tried and sentenced together at the Volksgerichtshof by judge Roland Freisler, who was known for often determining sentences even before the trial, and all three were sentenced to death by guillotine. Their sentences were carried out on the very same day at Stadelheim Prison in Munich.

On 3 November 1999, Christoph Probst was included in the martyrology of the Catholic church.

Their grave may be found in the graveyard bordering the execution place, "Am Perlacher Forst".

Probst went to boarding school at Marquartstein and Landheim Schondorf, which was also not conducive to fostering Nazi German ideas, and at 17, he matriculated. After military service, he began his medical studies with great earnestness. Aged 21, he married Herta Dohrn, with whom he had three children: Michael, Vincent and Katja.
