MARIA ANNA PFEIFFER, b. 8/2/1903 and resident at 20 Franklinstrasse, Vienna 21, was employed as a clerk in the office of the Jew, Klagsbrunn, charcoal dealer, Pilzgasse, Vienna 21. She was a good friend of the Jew. According to the men and women who were employed there they were something more than just good friends. (Testimony of Frau Buresch and her spouse Theodor, 22 Floridusgasse, Vienna 21, Hans Kührer, 5-11 Fultonstrasse, Vienna 21.)

On the day immediately following the Changeover, Klagsbrunn, in the presence of his wife and after consulting a lawyer, sold the business to Frau Pfeiffer, concluding a bill of sale on the transaction. Where the Racial German Pfeiffer could have found the money for this is unknown. According to the latest information, an engineer employed by Deutsche Reichsbahn, Vienna section, provided the finance as her fiancé.

The whole matter of the sale and takeover of the business looks to us like cover for something else, and that is how it is generally referred to in Floridsdorf. In this respect Frau Pfeiffer was forced to take legal action against Frau Schrammel, store-owner, 25 Floridusgasse, Vienna 21.

Furthermore the employee, Frau Buresch, also informs us that before her departure for Brazil (about 3 weeks ago) Frau Klagsbrunn took over the cash desk every day while RG Pfeiffer frequently accompanied the Jewish family to Vienna.

Apparently RG Pfeiffer’s takeover of the business has already been approved by the Property Transfer Office. Furthermore she is now attempting to buy the coal chute of the Jew Stiasny and, strangely enough, is fully supported in this by the Reichsbahn while Party Comrade Hellmayer, coal merchant, Pilzgasse, Vienna 21, to whom it was promised and who has even made a relevant application to the Property Transfer Office, is not considered. What we are dealing with here seems to be a case of cronyism.

Whatever the case, we object to RG Pfeiffer, who has not done anything at all to support the Movement and was a friend of the Jew, taking possession of the Jewish firm and propose that a provisional management be put in charge of the Klagsbrunn Jewish firm.

A license to trade in wood and coal will not be granted to her on the part of the District Council.

Frau Schrammel informs us that RG Pfeiffer is said to have the intention of selling the business in two months’ time in order to follow the Jews. We will keep an eye on this matter.

Heil Hitler!
