Biography
Erhardt Von Braun was born April 19, 1889[3], and was raised in Germany, he first moved to America when he was a teenager, despite the disapproval of his father. At the time, he did not speak any English and had only two dollars to his name. Eventually he and his father would make amends, but presumably Mr. Von Braun passed away shortly thereafter.[4]
After graduating law school at Stanford University in 1913. Erhardt would marry and serve as a clerk to Hill Valley Judge Elmer McTavish, a personal in friend.
When the United States declared war on Germany in 1917, Erhardt changed his family's name from Von Braun to Brown due to hostility against German Americans during the First World War.
In 1926, Brown was elected to the bench and served 24 years a local judge[5]. He pressured Emmett into working for him with the intent of him pursuing a career in law. But during the evening on June 13, 1931 in his son's lab, he had an argument with Emmett and made him quit his job and declared his interest in following science.
On October 13, 1931, Erhardt arrived at the Hill Valley Science Expo to prevent Emmett from demonstrating his Electrokinetic levitator (In the unaltered timeline, Emmett did the experiment without Erhardt's knowledge). He objected to it as he believed that Emmett's experiment was an unnecessary risk, only to have changed his mind when Marty made him realize that he was repeating the actions of his own father. Erhardt allowed the experiment to proceed, with the intention of supporting Emmett whether it succeeded or not.
Sometime after, Erhardt would present an annual scholarship called the Erhardt Brown Scholarship for Young Scientists. Doc would continue presenting it as of 1986 after Erhardt had died on August 9, 1950[6].
In the 1986G timeline, Erhardt became supportive of Emmett after the success of his and Edna Strickland's Mental alignment meter at the Hill Valley. He died at some time before 1968.[7]

An additional indirect reference to Erhardt would be made in Part III, when Chester warns Emmett about his low tolerance for whiskey, but serves it to him on the basis that "I ain't your papa, Emmett".
