Theodor Haubach spent his childhood and youth in Darmstadt. In 1914, right after his Abitur, he declared himself a war volunteer, was wounded many times while taking part in the First World War until 1918. After the horror of his wartime experiences, he was now ready to be deployed in more peaceful pursuits.
Beginning in February 1933, Haubach, like many Social Democratic Party of Germany members, was persecuted by the Nazi régime.
After his first arrest in 1934, he was detained in Esterwegen concentration camp. From 1935, he worked as an insurance representative, and later established contacts with the Kreisau Circle.
After the failed attempt on Hitler"s life at the Wolf"s Lair in East Prussia on 20 July 1944, Haubach was arrested and sentenced to death by the Volksgerichtshof. Now very ill, Theodor Haubach was put to death on 23 January 1945 along with Helmuth James Graf von Moltke at Plötzensee Prison in Berlin.
From 1924, Haubach was the leading member of the Reichsbanner Schwarz-Rot-Gold, an association that campaigned fiercely for Weimar democracy and actively struggled under the emblem of the "Three Arrows" against the Nazis, who were grasping for power.
