In the last days of the war a family in Königsdorf rescued three concentration camp prisoners from the SS. After our report, a document emerged.
It was a mystery for many years.
Geretsried / Königsdorf - As luck would have it: For many years, Friedrich Schumacher from the Geretsried Historical Working Group was in possession of a certificate that he could not assign.
He found it in 2017 in the Federal Archives in Berlin-Lichterfelde.
It was about a house in Einöd on the left of the Isar, which belonged to a Trinkl family and which had to give way to the Geretsrieder armaments works.
The purchase price was 24,000 Reichsmarks.
He found the solution to the long-standing riddle by looking at our newspaper.
After a report about a spectacular rescue: Document from the Nazi era emerged
In a recent article, we described how the Trinkl family moved from Einöd to Königsdorf-Schuss and hid three concentration camp prisoners there from the SS in the last days of the war, including the communist and writer Werner Groß from Nürtingen.
The story was told by Otto and Katharina Trinkl's last living daughter, Lore Jarsch (90).
"I visited her straight away and gave her the document," says Schumacher.
So a circle has come full circle.
Dated September 13, 1939. This document documents the sale of the property to the armaments factories.

Schumacher points out that there is still a lot to be gained for researchers in Berlin Lichterfelde - a hundred linear meters of archive material on the armaments factories.
"So far I have only been able to do random checks myself."
