22 nistoramt 19. OKT. 1943 THE GOVERNMENT-SPRASIDENT AUSSIG Gauleiter e.h. b-Brigadeführer Hans K r eb s 16. October 1943. To Mr. Minister of State Karl Hermann Fr a n k , Prague. Dear party comrade Frank ! The mayor of the city of Brüx, Pg. Wilhelm Schmidt, wrote to you because of the reconstruction of the castle Triblitz (near Trebnitz), which belongs to the city Brüx. For reasons of border policy I have always strongly promoted this conversion and transferred large funds (over 10.000.- RM) from my borderland fund, although the castle Triblitz is not in my administrative district. I could only do this because of course it will be visited mainly by the Sudeten German youth. But you recognize my great interest in the matter from this fact and also from the fact that I do not want to reveal this former possession of Ulrike von Levetzow (Goethe's last love) to the complete decay. I would be grateful if you wanted to have the proposal of the mayor of Bruex submitted to a benevolent treatment. These are relatively small allocations of iron, wood and cement.
