At the end of June 1978 Cremer went to Sweden with his girlfriend and met with this "Dr. Richter" and later with an alleged colleague named "Dr. Kurt Werner ”. Both later turned out to be Markus Wolf and Werner Großmann . Photos of these meetings and of Wolf's stay in Sweden, which the BND took , were later used to allow Werner Stiller to identify Markus Wolf . A picture was launched by the BND in the news magazine Der Spiegel and made Markus Wolf known to the West German public. Cremer was listed as an unofficial employee under the code name Bäcker . Cremer was sentenced to two years and six months' imprisonment on May 16, 1980 as an enemy agent. Cremer denied all allegations or only admitted what could be proven. The court saw the importance of the contacts in the MfS as a “serious indication of the productivity of the information” from Cremer, especially with regard to his political position in the SPD. An appeal to the Federal Court of Justice and a complaint to the Federal Constitutional Court were unsuccessful.
