Anna payer
Anna Zahler born Maurer (born July 7, 1903 in Wamberg near Garmisch-Partenkirchen ; died February 2, 1964 ) was a mountain farmer on the Pölstererhof in Mittergraseck. Her husband, Josef Zahler, died in October 1943 from injuries sustained in the First World War. Her son Josef died in France in 1944 at the age of 21. The widow ran the farm together with her 16-year-old daughter and a Ukrainian slave laborer.
From September 20, 1944, she hid the resistance fighter against National Socialism, Albrecht Haushofer , a member of the Popitz group . On December 7, 1944, the Gestapo searched the property and discovered the fugitive in hiding. Anna Zahler was imprisoned for four months in the Munich Gestapo prison Wittelsbacher Palais and temporarily released in mid-April 1945 due to severe physical illness.
On October 17, 1945, charges of black slaughter were brought to the Garmisch-Partenkirchen District Court. The indictment is based on an accusation by the Gestapo in December 1944. The local court did not recognize the tense nutritional situation caused by Albrecht Haushofer, who was also provided with no food stamps, but sentenced Anna Zahler to a fine of 80 Reichsmarks and 5 weeks in prison. It was not until 1953 that compensation for four months in Gestapo detention was granted in the second instance before the Compensation Chamber of the District Court of Munich I.
