Popis: "In his function as Amtshauptmann (District Head) of Annaberg (1928-1945), Freiherr Adolf von Wirsing belonged to that elite of public officials who are considered the representatives of authoritarian, traditional national thinking. However, in both German dictatorships he also appeared as a stubborn character who dared open criticism. Nevertheless, during the NS period Wirsing was a loyal public servant. In the GDR, however, he risked Opposition. Several institutions were involved in the respective issues connected to Wirsing, State Security among them." (author's abstract)
