Johannes 'Hans' Steinbrenner (16 October 1905 - 12 June 1964) was a German concentration camp overseer. Born in Frankfurt am Main, he is most notable for his participation in the murder of several prisoners during the early phases of Dachau Concentration Camp. Sentenced to life imprisonment after the liberation of Dachau, he was released early in 1962 and killed himself two years later.[1]
