REINHARD HEYDRICH FOUNDATION 22 March 1944. SCIENTIFIC FOUNDATIONS FOR P BRÚCKENGASSE 15 RESEARCH IN PRAG RUF: 407-86 15 Tgb.-No. 68/44 Bey/P8 Ministerial Council SS-Standartenfihrer Dr. G i e s , PragIV, Czerninpalais. dcron iiscer Standartenführer! Magnificence Buntru informed me today that he sd the Lrae of Min. Council Fischer has learned that our rooms will be equipped with Brückengesse l5 for other purposes. en geemeeköig Allegedly you, Standartenführer, have agreed to this change. s- In agreement with Magnificenz Buntru, I make it clear that a spatial limitation of the Reinhard Heyärich Foundation is actually impossible. The acquisition of the building of the French embassy has covered part of the space requirements of the Reinhard Heydrich Foundation, but the whole building is not usable in the expected sense because the French state has made reservations because of the use of part of it. In addition, the Pestseal there can only be used for events. I also draw attention to the fact that the Reinhard Heydrich Foundation was forced to accommodate the Oriental Institute, which was previously in a building in which the Ss of weapons entered. With the Oriental Institute, which is affiliated with the Reinhard Heydrich Foundation, we have now adopted a regulation guaranteeing accommodation as soon as the Rüune can be obtained in the Augustinian monastery and in the French embassy. Among these changes, it is quite impossible for the Reinhard Heydrich Foundation to dispense with the first floor work in Brückengasse I5. We have told you on several occasions to the Lord representative of the office of the host, that on the contrary, we must attach importance to maintaining the upper floor if the Croatian congul is to be removed. /* $\{-2{/4}$ WS
