time of the nationalsocialism

Neddermeier was attacked in his apartment on the night of March 19-20, 1933 and taken to the Volksfreund-Haus . The former party headquarters of the SPD of the Free State and the city of Braunschweig served the NSDAP from March 1933 as a protective prison and torture site for the SS auxiliary police.

In August 1944 he was imprisoned in the Gestapo special camp 21 near what is now the Hallendorf district of the city of Salzgitter as part of the grid action .

After the Second World War

Soon after the occupation of Braunschweig by Allied troops, union work was resumed. As early as April 25, 1945, the military government received an application to form a union. Due to the inconsistent policy of the British military government towards the trade unions, after interim bans, the Brunswick Free German Trade Union Confederation was finally recognized on January 4, 1946, of which Neddermeier became president. On August 22, 1945, the Braunschweig SPD was officially re-established. On November 13, 1945, Neddermeier was entrusted with the management of the business of the district administrator of the district of Goslar . On July 17, 1947 he was elected senior district director. He held this office until his retirement on January 31, 1950.
