To the German Minister of State for Bohemia and Moravia MSSS diimxeer on the ministerial office Elng 11. MAI1944 in P r a g. (trietis pr de) Betr. : Request for an aid. The German Horse Federation took over the buildings (reit hall, clubhouse, stables) of the former Bohemian-Mährische Reitklub at the foundation of the German Horse Association in June 1942. Diesel vehicles were built about 1930-1932. In the 10 years up to the takeover by the German Riding Federation no maintenance work was done. The German Horsemen's Federation was forced to carry out extensive, most necessary repair work in the shortest possible time. As a result of the unusual costs resulting from this, along with ongoing operating expenses, the balance sheet closed in 19943 with a loss of 236.311.40 K. Recently, the opportunity has been given to acquire the building facilities for sale. After lengthy negotiations, the creditor committee agreed to the purchase price of 180,000.- K for the buildings, according to the letter of its representative, lawyer Dr. Magerstein, dated 19.4.1944. In order to better understand the financial efforts of the German Horsemen's Federation to promote German equestrian sport and pre-military and military riding training, it may be added that, in the last half-year alone, he spent 32 million K on horse purchases, among other things, by founding the branch associations Brno and Olmütz. The German Horsemen's Federation is not in a position to carry these total expenditures of over 400,000.- K, without its current obligations of approximately 80,000.- k per month. The St.M. πO-43£/43
