* 1943 – Members of the White Rose resistance movement: Sophie Scholl, Hans Scholl, Alex Schmorell, Willi Graf, Christoph Probst, and Kurt Huber.

Christoph Hermann Probst ( born 6 November 1919, Murnau am Staffelsee – 22 February 1943, Munich ) was a German student of medicine and a member of the White Rose ( Weiße Rose ) resistance group.

Christoph Probst belonged, along with the Scholl siblings, Willi Graf and Alexander Schmorell to the tightest circle, into which university professor Kurt Huber also came.

On 22 February 1943, Christoph Probst and the Scholls were tried and sentenced together at the Volksgerichtshof by judge Roland Freisler, who was known for often determining sentences even before the trial, and all three were sentenced to death by guillotine.

Through his father, Hermann Probst, Christoph came to know cultural and religious freedom, and to treasure them.

Christoph Probst came rather late into the White Rose as he did not belong to the same student corps as Hans Scholl, Alexander Schmorell and Willi Graf, and stayed for the most part in the background, as he had to think of his family.

When the Scholl siblings were arrested at the university, the Gestapo thereby had proof against Christoph Probst, who because of it was executed on 22 February 1943, along with Hans and Sophie Scholl, even though he had asked for clemency during interrogation and the trial for the sake of his wife and three children, aged three years, two years and four weeks ( Herta Probst was sick with childbed fever ).
