Page 2 to note of file v.16.9.1939 (I./Eu.) 00 Semen Ritzenthaler (Head of the Beanten- Baugesellschaft in Vienna), states for me that at the foundation of this company the same forces are already known in connection with the Ritzenthaler action. Gavenat justified his efforts to establish a new society with the will of the State Secretary Frank, who was supposed to have given the Sg-Überführer Dauser and Dr. Brecht the necessary assurances. Gavenath, however, said in the conversation that a record of the state decreer Frank about the Bo- eprechung with SS-Übänger Daueer and Drs. Brecht, who made him a bit of a fuss, Gavenat eprach also was surprised that I had been set up without his knowledge to the Treuhlinder siner Vohnnehaugenosssenschaft and to the sole board member of a Vohnnsbauverein. r literally said that it was here as well as with the Polizsi apartments, the Arbeitsaninisterium ben ht to find suitable companies and then suddenly the SS coamed all over the heap. Thus it was also in the Protectorate, where he tried to create the conditions for a future residential building, while the Ss in Igleu already built. I was intimidating to put myself on a good foot with Gevenat and ground him that we did not want to work against him in the Protectorate, but we were helping each other. Since the resurgence of a coalition was not necessary because of the two German Genos senshaiten, I suggested that he try to free the 4,000.0c0 Reichemark requested by Reicheerbeitsministerium for the Geseliechaften under the Ss stehen. r then replied to me that I would like to speak to Fischer-Dickau in the same way, and that the matter should be dealt with. In the further event, I stated that Gavenat was responsible for the newly founded society, which was on the Letna, for which our planning was prepared by Proffessor Speer. I informed him of this planning. His frenzy as to whether the benefits on this gel were pre-empted only for Gestapo officials, I denied, and explained, that he essentially for the Germans transferred to the Protectorate, aleo also for the Beanten bei mister Reichsprotector, beetimmt. On sine weitere Frege von Gavenat crki, I said that Frank of this construction project by the SS-Oberführer von Gottberg and by a lecture of course from me, had been laid down by state decree of Frank and that our work was approved by state secretary. Finally, Gavenat resigned that there would be no purpose for each new foundation. We agreed that we wanted to stay together. Freg, 16 September 1939. Stamp, e.g. Tostmann
