Arzt Dr. Ernst Höfer – Zell am See

Motive

The listed damaging actions are difficult to understand and difficult to believe, without taking into account the family history of the aggrieved son and rightful sole heir after Lydia Wagner and the physician Dr. Ernst Höfer.

In order to clarify the motives, it is therefore additionally stated:

The aggrieved son of Lydia Wagner inherited a family war for which he himself was not responsible. In the course of coming to terms with the Nazi crimes, the father, of the aggrieved son, Dr. Hanns Wagner, deeply regretted that he had assumed a leading role in the German Nazi economy as an entrepreneur and industrial consultant and that he had not admitted to and prevented the recognizable crimes of the Nazi regime.

In contrast, Dr. Ernst Höfer Sr. – who died in 2003 and is the father of the physician Dr. Ernst Höfer – never regretted his leading role in the High Command of the Nazi Air Force and never abandoned his Nazi ideology.

After the end of the war in 1945, Dr. Ernst Höfer Sr. fled Vienna and went into hiding with like-minded people in the surroundings of the former SS stronghold in Zell am See, where he was immediately assigned a political post in the district administration of Zell am See.

In order to be able to better influence the local population of Zell am See as a local politician who had moved to Vienna, Dr. Höfer Sr. married the National Socialist like-minded sister – of Lydia Wagner, who was a native of Zell am See and highly respected – and fathered Ernst Höfer, the accused here.

With the help of these former Nazi loyalists, Dr. Ernst Höfer Sr. helped shape Salzburg’s local politics from 1949 onwards, was vice mayor from 1954 to 1959, and subsequently mayor of Zell am See until 1969.

 

Dr. Hanns Wagner, the father of the aggrieved son, found – immediately after the birth of his son with Lydia Wagner – this network of former Nazi supporters in Salzburg and the continued political activity of Dr. Ernst Höfer Sr. in his family environment intolerable.

In due overestimation of his own abilities, he opposed this environment in Salzburg and, by publishing background information, damaged the political career of the physician’s father Dr. Ernst Höfer in Salzburg to such an extent that the latter had to resign from his office as mayor and all political functions in 1969.

After that, the father of the physician Dr. Ernst Höfer was politically finished and was limited to his civil service salary as a teacher, after which he could only work as a local teacher and administrative school principal in Zell am See until his retirement in 1978.

These conditions led to the family war, inherited from the aggrieved son of Lydia Wagner and motivated by blind revenge, which the physician Dr. Ernst Höfer and his mother Elisabeth have waged against their Wagner family relatives ever since.

In 1973, in connection with the joint inheritance of Lydia Wagner and her sister Elisabeth Höfer, the first aggressive acts of deception by the Höfer family were realized, which subsequently increased and escalated to the damaging acts now proven.

The aggrieved son of Lydia Wagner positively supported his father’s change of political mind and his coming to terms with the Nazi past and thereby, through no fault of his own, incurred the unbridled hatred of the Höfer family.

Because of the unresolved inheritance dispute between Lydia Wagner and her sister Elisabeth Höfer, after the death of their common parents, physician Dr. Ernst Höfer Jr. believes that he can secure for himself in the long term the disputed 50 percent share of the inheritance of his aunt Lydia Wagner – to which his parents have made an illegitimate and therefore unenforceable claim – in that the assets of the plaintiff’s mother are to fall to the physician Dr. Ernst Höfer as an inheritance at least after her death.

In order to be able to enforce this goal of his inheritance after Lydia Wagner, the second defendant pursued two different plans according to the documents available so far:

Firstly, an attempt was made to construct an unworthiness of Lydia Wagner’s own son to inherit by means of false accusations. In this case, his mother Elisabeth Höfer, as his sister, could have become the legal heir after Lydia Wagner and Dr. Ernst Höfer would have been entitled to this property as heir after the death of his mother.

However, this plan would have failed as soon as the son of his victim Lydia Wagner would have had a child himself, because even in the case of an incapacity to inherit – successfully constructed with forgeries – of the son of Lydia Wagner pursuant to Sec. 541 of the General Civil Code, his child would have entered into the legal succession and thus would have virtually excluded his mother from the right to inherit.

Only after the original plan of Dr. Ernst Höfer and his mother to construct an unworthiness of the son to inherit – even after attacks against the unborn grandchild of Lydia Wagner – could not be implemented, physician Dr. Ernst Höfer implemented his alternative plan of direct falsification of the will, as well as isolation and killing of Lydia Wagner by his medical wrong treatment.

After the inheritance as a result of the succession of the father of Lydia Wagner and Elisabeth Höfer, Mr. Alois Wendl in Zell am See equally in 1973, Elisabeth Höfer and Lydia Wagner had the same financial resources.

Dr. Hanns Wagner, the husband of Lydia Wagner, had earned a much higher income as commercial director of Wiener Holding and Bauring Wien for decades than Dr. Höfer’s father had earned as a teacher in Zell am See.

Under these circumstances, Dr. Ernst Höfer and his deceased mother would never have been able to acquire their present real estate assets without the equal financial participation of Lydia Wagner.

Any explanation as to where the entire assets of Lydia Wagner are supposed to have disappeared to, physician Dr. Ernst Höfer and his mother refused to answer, after they themselves had drawn up and submitted a false list of assets for the fraudulently conducted probate proceedings after the killed Lydia Wagner.
