The locksmith Heinrich Gritschke (born May 4, 1891 in Kattowitz; died August 20, 1934 in Frankfurt) got into an altercation with members of the SA in a Frankfurt pub on August 19, 1934. An alleged insult to the SA by Gritschke led to a brawl, whereupon SA-Obertruppführer Franz Sch. stabbed Heinrich Gritschke to death. He died in the hallway of the inn in the early morning of August 20. The investigation against Franz Sch. was influenced by the NSDAP in such a way that only bodily injury resulting in death was charged.
