I have some information about Kurt Sieber (born 4. 07.1891 in Stuttgart). He graduated Karls Gymnasium in 1909. At the end of 20th years he lived in Heidehofstrasse 11 with his wife Margarete (Schoenleber).

His father, Richard von Sieber (1848 - 1915) was Landesgericht Prasident (sorry, I don't know the right translation), had personal gentry. After he had retired, he was a head of the local saving-bank.

His brother, Heinrich Sieber (1877 - 1961) was a gynecologist (doctor of medicine) and had private clinic in Stuttgart. The daugher of Heinrich Sieber (Kurt's niece), Helene "Hella" Sieber was a wife (a widow) of Wolfram Sievers, the Reichgeschaftsfuehrer of the Ahnenerbe Society.
