Peter von Heydebreck

Hans-Adam Otto von Heydebreck, called Peter von Heydebreck (1 July 1889 in Köslin - 30 June 1934 in München) was a German Freikorps- and SA leader, member of the Reichstag and a national socialist.

Heydebreck was a German Army officer in World War I who during the German revolution of November 1918 founded the Freikorps named after him.

During the Third Silesian Uprising in 1921, his troops reconquered a hill in the Battle of Annaberg for which he became known as "„Hero of Annaberg“".

He made a career in the Nazi party, but during the „Röhm-Putsch“ in 1934, he was brought to Stadelheim Prison and killed by the SS as Victims of the Night of the Long Knives.
