Division I Prague, 19 November 1942 R/Wo Subject: Chairmanship of the Board of Directors of the Sparkasse Prague. V e r m e r k. T a new Statute of the Savings Bank Prague is, as I was told by the Oberlandrat Frh. von Watter, seen as Chairmanship Cc c dS eed. If the Statute were to be adopted in this form, Primator Riha would have to take over the Presidency. This is out of the question, since he must be in German hands and the second position for a Czech (although the district head of Prague-Land-Süd) is planned. Since he is personally affected, Oberlandrat Freiherr von Watter sent the draft Minister Bertsch, who was sent to him by Director General Dr.Fuchs, asking for the decision of the Secretary of State. In my opinion, the solution can be found in such a way that in the statutes as chairman of the administrative council not the primator, but the mayor of the city of Prague is provided for, and at the same time the Reichsprotektor receives the instruction that until the appointment of a (German) mayor of Oberlandrat Freiherr von Watter, on the basis of his position at the former Bohemian Savings Bank, this function takes place. \ 5α α Ehc5 M/g h-91
