Siegfried Gatzke was born on August 12, 1930, the son of Walter Gatzke and his wife Luise Anna née Thadewald. He suffered from hydrocephalus, monoplegia brachialis dextra, both probably related to spina bifida. In 1934 his parents took him to the infirmary of the Oberlinhaus Nowawes (today Babelsberg), from there he came to the Wittenauer Heilstätten in November 1935. In 1938 he was admitted to the Brandenburg an der Havel state nursing home. The Brandenburg sanatorium was set up as an ostensible hospital, but in reality served as a mass killing facility.
