In his retirement, Bielfeldt initially stayed in Lübeck. In 1934 he retired to Berlin in the loneliness of the big city , knowing that he had fulfilled my social duty as far as possible and preserved my character in the struggle for my ideals after he had succumbed to violence after the National Socialists came to power .
