List of Famous people named Erwin

Erwin Kalser was a German-Jewish stage and film actor, best remembered as the Geneva Convention inspector in Stalag 17. He did most of his work in American made films.

Erwin Faber was a leading actor in Munich and later throughout Germany, beginning after World War I, and through the late-1970s, when he was still performing at the Residenz Theatre. Born in Innsbruck, Austria, Faber remained in Germany during the Third Reich, emerging afterwards as a prominent actor in the Federal Republic of Germany. He died in Munich in 1989, only two months after his last performance at the Residenztheater, at age 97.

Erwin Konrad Eduard Bumke was the last president of the Reichsgericht, the supreme civil and criminal court of the German Reich, serving from 1929 to 1945. As such, he should according to the Weimar Constitution have succeeded Paul von Hindenburg as the President of Germany upon the latter's death in August 1934 and thus the Head of State of Nazi Germany. The Law on the Head of State of the German Reich, passed by the Nazi-controlled Reichstag, prevented that unconstitutionally by combining the presidency with the chancellorship, making Adolf Hitler the undisputed Führer of Germany.

Erwin Rohde was one of the great German classical scholars of the 19th century.
