English Translation

- 5 - The meat prices showed no significant differences within each Gaue. Even within the municipalities covered, greater differences in meat prices were not observed, as prices were usually regulated by the authorities. In this context, it should be mentioned that in small places the individual meats (for beef: roast meat, fore meat, leg meat etc., for pork: belly meat, carrion etc.) were sold at the same price. This is due to the fact that the butchers in small communities are often difficult to sell certain pieces of meat. Some major price differences were found in sausages, but these differences were generally explained by the differences in the quality of the different types of sausages used for consumption. b. Prices for housing, heating and lighting. When assessing the results of rental prices, it must be noted that the workers in the Sudetenland mostly live in old dwellings. However, in most cases the dwellings are in very neglected condition due to the poor economic situation of the last years. In addition, the population in the area of housing culture is generally not particularly demanding. As already mentioned, in the Sudeten German areas, the kitchen is to be regarded as a typical worker's apartment. Living in such kitchens In the larger communes, the housing conditions of the workers are in part slightly better than in the countryside, the sometimes low housing rents in individual communes compared with the respective comparative communes are thus to be understood by taking into account the condition of this dwelling and the undemandingness of the employees. The results for the price group "heating and lighting" generally show large differences. This is partly due to different electricity prices, and partly to price differences in fuel materials. 1) Of the survey respondents it was found that up to 11 people lived in a kitchen.
