There once was a Stasi informer, whose name will now know no one. Let's call him S.
S. sneaked in 1980 bourgeois in his name at the young community in Reichenbach one, his friends called him by the Stasi "IM Schubert". They had spies on her young joy, after all, they could lock up after a short time owing to its reports within four enemies of the state. showed excellent performance for the Stasi recognizes: money, travel, loans - the amateur spies S. brought up properly what.
And he still maintained. From the high school student, the student S. S., his new district was the student community in Freiberg. "At the age of 22 was" Schubert "on behalf of the state power Christian." (Spon ) S. Freiberg was the student pastor of gold Klaus Hahn, a "target" baptized - on the baptismal certificate is his "real" name.
S. spitzelte to November 1989 for the Stasi, like many people was made because of his reports through hell, is unknown. It is not always Stasi victims were immediately arrested, convicted or deported to the West (the latter happened probably mainly the East German opposition prominence). After the open terror of the Ulbricht years, the Stasi began increasingly to the "disintegration" of "anti-negative" individuals and groups.
Sandra Pingel-Schliemann describes in her study decomposition. Strategy of a dictatorship "goals and strategies of this method of suppression.
decomposition measures should "self-confidence and self esteem of a human being undermined, fear, panic, create confusion, cause a loss of love and security as well as disappointments foment - that all solche Gefühle, die einen Menschen unglücklich und unzufrieden machen." 1
Und die Stasi hatte keinerlei Skrupel bei der Wahl ihrer Mittel. Strategien der Zersetzung gegen Individuen waren zum Beispiel das Inszenieren beruflicher Misserfolge, das Zerstören von Liebesbeziehungen, das Entfremden der Kinder von ihren Eltern, das Verbreiten von Gerüchten (Unterstellen einer Kooperation mit dem MfS z.B.), falsche ärztliche Gutachten (3-5% der DDR-Ärzte arbeiteten für das MfS),demonstratives Beobachten, Telefonterror oder das Kriminalisieren wegen unpolitischer Delikte.
A key feature of the decomposition was anonymity - the victims themselves could not bring prosecutions often in conjunction with the Stasi, and even if they suspected they could not prove, or to contact the other hand to fight back. As a rule, made the victim of other for the crisis, the family, friends, members of the opposition group, which led to new conflicts, because the allegations were unfounded.
Pingel-Schliemann: "Affected had to even be accused by others, they hallucinate. In the Episode began, some even to declare "crazy" or "sick". The effect of anonymous tracking is not to be underestimated. Stasi employees pressed for example, a with replacement keys to the apartment of one of their victims in order to sort the objects. Once they imposed the pictures in the home of Mrs. R. The next time they pretended secret burglary only the spice jars in the kitchen. Another time she exchanged the favorite tea of \u200b\u200bthe woman by a different variety. The staff came over and over. They let each come up with something new. It also depends on the towels in the bathroom of Mrs. R., and arranged the pots on their window sills new. When Mrs. R. told her friends about the events in her apartment, she believed her not: "We could still not explain why one should depend on the towels. ... Psychologists ascertaining numerical: "Who was handled with such decomposition measures was not only confused, but this began a process of diffusion of reality, which could ultimately trigger a psychosis." 2 (p.196) Mrs. R., who as a doctor at the Anna- Hospital Schwerin, worked was solid in his professional capacity, by employees of the Stasi (the chief physician was IM) affected. The decomposition strategy was successful, as seen by the Stasi. Few Months after the political upheaval in East Germany took the life of Mrs. R..
to the information necessary for this decomposition measures the Stasi concluded, inter alia, through the work of his IM. "It was in the secret police work is always the principle that the" weakest point "or the" out the most sensitive "place of the person sought. Every detail from the life of an oppositional personality all its strengths and weaknesses are for the state security service of interest. "(P.198)
IM were all questionnaires attached to their victims, including completely trivial (where X represents from his car?) But also much more personal (relationship with the wife, the children, behavior and contacts of the spouse and children).
Today, the perpetrators hide behind the supposed innocence of their actions. displace a few flower pots, tea, exchange, put on towels - so everything is not a crime, has harmed anyone, forget it. Some information is released, which might have been able to obtain any, what should it be bad? And they get away with it, the understanding of the "small" as is virtually unlimited in the east.
As part of the exhibition "Christian action in the GDR was one of these IM, S., mentioned by name. S. alias "in the Schubert" dispute began working for the Stasi as not, he feels so maligned, but restricted in his personal rights. And gets even right before the Administrative Court Zwickau! Tentative.
Des ex-spy hell Attorney Thomas Rich, Politicians SED PDS party "The Left" fears no pogroms against ex-spy:
"At some point then hordes of people who have a red star and a print have driven by Reichenbach, because that's past history. " Click to hear the original: http://www.mdr.de/laenderzeit/5365450.html
How many Ex-IM there if Höllerich feared whole " hordes "of them could be driven solely by the small Reichenbach? If the perpetrators of that time really the victims of today, only because one of them is taken out of his anonymity?
No, the perpetrators of yesterday have no fear of their victims. You need the anonymity, concealing their past in order to pull the strings can now undisturbed.
