Pre-death legacy Jürgen Glanz

The pre-death legacy of Jürgen Glanz (1932-2019), the associate judge of the Third Frankfurt Auschwitz trial (criminal case against Erich Grönke, Bernard Bonitz and Josef Windeck (4 Ks 1/67)), was transferred to the Fritz Bauer Institute by his wife in November 2018. Jürgen Glanz studied law and worked as an assistant judge at the Amtsgericht Frankfurt (Main) since November 1963. In December of the same year, he was transferred to the Landgericht Frankfurt (Main). On January 1, 1964, he became the assistant judge for the investigation proceedings and later associate judge for the criminal case against Josef Windeck, Erich Grönke and Bernhard Bonitz (4 Ks 1/67, 30.08.1967-14.06.1968). The pre-death legacy Jürgen Glanz contains after description, demetallization and filing 18 archival units with a total extent of 1.0 running meter. Upon aquisition in November 2019, it did not have an inner structure. The processor Johannes Beermann-Schön reorganized the collection during indexing in August 2019. It follows the "rules for the description of personal papers and autographs" (RNA, Regeln zur Erschließung von Nachlässen und Autographen). The holding is structured in two sections: "personal documents" ("Lebensdokumente") and "collections" ("Sammlungen"). The section "personal documents" ("Lebensdokumente") includes an archival unit with documents regarding the career path of Jürgen Glanz. It also contains trial records from the criminal case against Josef Windeck, Erich Grönke and Bernhard Bonitz (4 Ks 1/67) among which are the very valuable written notes of the statements of the defendants, witnesses, and experts. The section "collections" ("Sammlungen") covers copies of the verdicts of the First and Second Frankfurt Auschwitz trial, the criminal case against Mulka and others (4 Ks 2/63) and against Burger and others (4 Ks 3/63), as well as a collection of handwritten CVs of members of the Waffen-SS from the year 1943 of unknown provenance.
