Prison terms were imposed upon desecrators of Jewish cemeteries and synagogues in verdicts handed down by the courts of Landau and Lueneburg.
The Landau court sentenced the tailor apprentice, Doerr, to ten weeks imprisonment and the peasant’s son, Huck, 17 years old, to six weeks, for destroying 36 tombstones in the Jewish cemetery of Essingen.
The Lueneburg court sentenced two members of the Hakenkreuzler party to two months imprisonment and two Hakenkreuzler members to six months for desecrating the local synagogue. Another Hakenkreuzler member was arrested in Lueneburg for painting a huge cross on the synagogue door.
