Prague, K To the Minister of the Reich and head of the Chancellery Dr. L a m e r s, B er n. Betr.: Transfer of ownership of the property Jungfern-Breschan to Mrs. Heydrich. Reference: to the letter of 12.5.1943 Rk. 4268 C. Very venerable Mr Reichsminister ! As the wish to transfer the estate of Jungfern-Breschan to Mrs Heydrich in the form of registration as an inheritance for the Heydric family was expressed by various authorities, I have examined this proposal, but it is impossible, for political reasons, to introduce the Erbhofgesetz in Bohemia and Moravia in general. For reasons of expediency, it seems therefore also inconvenient to create a special case for the Heydrich family. I therefore had my lawyers check whether there is no possibility of achieving the same purpose (in accordance with the provisions of the law in force here). This would be possible under the following conditions: 1.) The property of Jungfern-Breschan is sold by the German Reich to Mrs. Lina H e y d r i c h as the sole owner. 2.) Prau H e Y d r ic h undertakes, without the consent of her children, Klaus, Heider, Silke and Marte, neither to sell nor to burden the property acquired under this contract.
