Prague, 3 February 1945. 18 Subject: Baron Felix R i ng h o f e r , resident Kamenitz Castle near Prague Ri ng o f f er , born on 2 October l89l at Kamenice Castle near Prag, studied law and law in Prague and took over the management of the company F. Ringhoffer, open trading company, in Gross-Popowitz. Owners of this company, which with its large base, a beer brewery and various subsidiary companies (molkery, sawmill, quarry, etc.) is a large company, are beside Felix Ringhoffers his two cousins Hans and Franz Ringhoff. Felix R. R. had already a significant position in the brewing industry at the time of ČsR after the establishment of the Protectorate he was appointed vice-president of the Bohemian-Mährisches Verband für Hopfen, Malz und Bier (The Association of Hops, Malts and Beer). He is also a member of the Board of Directors and executive committees of the Insurance Institute for the Fermentation Industry. It should be noted that, at the time of the ČsR, he did not only confess himself as a German, but also as a dea de d r de se de jednota" and honorary captain of the National Guard of Sagittarius, and in addition, in his personnel policy he showed a very czech-chophile attitude towards the German administrator of the Good Kamenitz, R. In the year I938: "It will not be quiet on the catfish until half of all Germans have been shot." However, after the establishment of the Protkktorate Ringhoffer immediately sought connection to leading German personalities, let these often hunting invitations pass and showed himself extremely accommodating to German authorities. Ringhoffer must be referred to as an experienced businessman whose political "over-production" is always in the direction of which he promises the greatest economic benefits.
