Socialist state
In February 1939, Margarethe Schneider-Reichel called all "Orts-, Zellen-", and "Block-Frauenschaftsleiterinnen" from the city and the Passau district to a weekend seminar at Veste Oberhaus. There, at the auditorium, they listened to the "Kreisleiter" before Dr. Paul Reiß from Mainkofen addressed them for three hours. The central topic were "necessary measures" the National Socialist state was taking to control the population.
