Erich Hirschberger lived with his parents in Mönchengladbach in the spring of 1932. In March 1932 he switched schools and became a pupil at the Stiftisch-Humanistischen Gymnasium. In November 1933 Erich Hirschberger and his mother moved from Mönchengladbach to Venlo.
During the war Erich Hirschberger was deported to camp Blechhammer. Because the Russian armies were approaching, the camp was evacuated on 23 January 1945. Those prisoners still able to walk, were forced to march to the West. On 27 January 1945 a vicar of the town Müllmen (now Wierzch) wrote in the funeral records that he had found three men, all dead next to a road. Among them was Erich Hirschberger. Erich Hirschberger was burried at the local cemetery.
