An interesting list of names by Georges J, since most of them disappeared from Stapo service before long.

Disappeared:
Bolz
Förster
von Steinmeister
Ludwig
Reinke
Stieber
Molsch
Zilch

Known (to an extent)
Stahlmann (sent to Denmark in 1940 as ORR)
Bonatz (later in RSHA)
Albath (later Stapoleiter in various locations)
Aderhold (out of office after 1935?)

Hoffmann - too many Hoffmanns to properly identify

thanks Georges and Steve,
that is a superb start for 1934-35, hopefully there might be something 1936-38.

I have never seen these books, is it possible to buy copies of important pages from an archive.
thank you
Peter

on early years of gestapo, my best book is Christoph Graf "Politische Polizei zwischen demokratie und diktatur" mainly on Geheimen Staatspolizeiamt.

the case of RR Alexander von Steinmeister a Partei member is interesting, he was convicted in court in Nov 1936 and expelled from the NS Jurists League, guilty of two cases of robbery with extortion, compulsion in office, removal of evidence, false certification and disloyalty. Sentenced to 7 years in prison and removal of civil rights for a further 5 years. His appeal was denied by the Second Senate of the Reich Supreme Court on 1 March 1937.

Removal of his Doctorate
Dr. rer.Alexander von Steinmeister (June 26, 1936, Würzburg)


Alexander O. Wichard von Steinmeister
Birthdate: 1 April1899
Birthplace: Bredow, Brieselang, Brandenburg.
Death: July 17, 1986

In the Osnabrück address book 1934-35 I can find a RR Hans Aderhold, and in the Berlin address book for 1935 a RegRat Hans Aderhold is living at Plantaganetstr 23 - Steglitz (the telephone directory also shows a phone at home, many Polizei officials did have phones). In 1942 address book for Königsberg an ORR Hans Aderhold is living at Arndtstr 1.


And in my notes:
Leiter der Staatspolizeistelle Osnabrück
1933 Aug. bis 1934 Juli: Regierungsrat Hans Aderhold


I suspect that this is the 1935 Gestapo Berlin chief

I checked the many pages of the Berlin address book 1935 for HOFFMANN and there are many ORR and RR but I didnt find a Reg.Dir. I guess he had moved from Berlin.
