Bonn (JTA) — The town
of Oberaula, a picturesque
hamlet of 3,500 in the state
of Hesse, has apparently
had enough of SS veterans.
The reunion meeting
there over the weekend of
some 400 alumni of the
notorious "Totenkopf"
(Deaths Head) Division and
their families brought the
glare of unwanted publicity
and some 5,000 anti-Nazi
marchers from all parts of
West Germany and abroad.
Peaceful, though angry,
the marchers made it clear
that the town fathers had
sullied Oberaula's reputa-
tion by renting a
municipally-owned hall to
the ex-Nazis,Tuesday there
were further repercussions,
affecting the local economy
which depends in large
measure on tourism.
Several travel agencies
and organizations cancelled
reservations at Oberaula
hotels because the town had
Played host to members of a
unit which provided guards
at Nazi concentration
camps during World War II
and earned a reputation for
brutality.
Mayor Hans-Joachim
Schnuecker, a member of
the Social Democratic Party
(SPD), said that further
cancellations are expected.
He said the most serious so
far was from a Dutch travel
bureau which sends hun-
dreds of vacationers to
Oberaula each year. The
postal employees and
teachers unions which
planned to hold seminars in
the town may also cancel.
The teachers union in-
formed the municipal
authorities in a letter that
the seminar could still be
held if local officials pledged
never again to allow a reu-
nion of SS men in the town.
This would require a deci-
sion not to rent publicly
owned premises to any
member of the HIAG, the
umbrella organization of
Waffen SS and SA veterans.
Schnuecker said the town
council will meet on April
17 to consider an SPD mo-
tion to ban such rentals in
the future. "I believe that

one here wants a recurrence
of what we have been ex-
periencing these days," the
mayor said. He admitted,
however, that he has "no
idea what the outcome" of
the meeting will be.
The town council is domi-
nated by Deputy Mayor
Hans-Eppo Von Doernberg,
local chairman of Chancel-
lor Helmut Kohl's govern-
ing Christian Democratic
Union (CDU). He was the
strongest advocate of the
"Totenkopf" reunion and
responsible for convincing
his colleagues to rent the
hall to the SS veterans.
Doernberg's grandfather,
the late Alexander Von
Doernberg, served as an SS
Oberfuehrer and received
the highest SS award, the
SSEhrendegen. He was also
a special ambassador of Hit-
ler and a chief of protocol at
Hitler's office.
The deputy mayor is
know nationwide as a
patron of the church. As
such he once used his influ-
ence to remove from office a
local priest, Volkmar
Haundhausen, who would
regularly celebrate a mass
in honor of Jews who
perished in the "Kristal-
nacht" and who introduced
into the church hand-made
sculptures bearing Stars of
David.
The mayor of Oberaula is
Hans Joachim Schmuecker,
a member of the Sociel
Democratic Party (SPD).
Meanwhile, the Dutch
ambassador in Bonn,
Kasper W. Reininik, ex-
pressed his government's
concern over the weekend
meeting of the members of
the "Waffen SS" division
"Totenkopf' in Oberaula on
Saturday. But according to
officials of the Foreign
Ministry, the ambassador
stopped short of bringing a
formal protest from his gov-
ernment.
The ambassador acted
upon a decision of the Dutch
Parliament which adopted a
protest resolution against
the meeting by an over-
whelming majority, with
only , one ._ ,deputy ., ,voting.
against.
