as part of their investigation, the court dealing with wiemann's case wrote to the municipal authorities in eilenburg, then located in the soviet occupation zone, asking them for information on wiemann's conduct whilst in the nsdap. on 7 may 1948, the court received testimony from emma fähmel; she had been a cleaner at the "ostschule" and had never been in the nazi party. she stated that wiemann had protected her from attack from nazi party members, the "ns-frauenschaft" (national socialist women's league) and the hitler youth. she also related that wiemann had banned the hitler youth from using the school for its meetings due to its loutish behaviour. another testimony, dated 10 may 1948, was from a former teacher at his school, marie helene espe, again a non-party member. she also gave a favourable account, stating that wiemann had put his responsibility to the school before that of the nazi party. she had also witnessed two separate incidents where parents with anti-nazi beliefs had been brought to wiemann's attention, but he had not taken any further action. another individual from the school testified that they had no knowledge of wiemann doing anything harmful against any person.
