Franz Böttger
Franz Böttger served as Arbeitsführer and Rapportführer. The profile reconstructs the person’s function in Dachau through documented office, decisions, supervision or operational conduct. It does not assign every crime committed by an institution or region to one individual.

The circle records authority, function and agency. Several profiles may describe different parts of the same persecution chain, so profile-level totals must not be added together.
Postwar accountability
After capture he was tried in the Dachau main trial and executed. (Source: cited institutional or judicial record; Source: cited institutional or judicial record; Source: cited institutional or judicial record)
Limits of the evidence
The profile does not transfer every Dachau crime to him and preserves the scope of the court’s individual findings. No individual victim total is assigned, and no additional order or act is attributed without an explicit source finding. No portrait with clearly documented publication rights was found.
