The obituary of 17 March 2011 has given new insights into the dead unintentionally ironic: "No man who has love in the forefront," Günter K. had been the end of February, died at 64 years. "But he was an integral part in the battle against war, fascism and oppression in Munich. Whenever there were rallies and events, you could be sure to find his face in the crowd at some point. He was simply always there. "Günter K. decades had also a large part of his social contacts in the left scene of Munich. Antoni seriously by the Association of Victims of the Nazi regime - Association of Anti-Fascists (VVN-BDA) gave a eulogy for the long-standing member of his district executive. "" Diverse and important achievements Günter K. had "provided mostly in the background." He often had guests picked up the organization from the train station or airport. As treasurer of the Munich alliance against war and racism he had taken a job in order to have the activists not just beaten. He was as friendly and helpful.

"Nobody had a suspicion," said Claus Schreer, who knew Günter K. decades from the alliance work. "He has also co-wrote before." Among his papers were found, however, recorded music, which he must have discussed shortly after the meetings. Designated therein, Günter K. himself "as a" source, leads to the agenda, summarizes speeches, the participants, who knows he is called, by name and provides descriptions of other people. How to copy for an office force of the country's Constitutional Protection Office. Neither this nor the Bavarian Interior Ministry, however, are willing to comment.

In the left scene and the peace movement in Munich Günter K. was known since the 70s. The sound files available to the lawyer Angelika Lex are all significantly younger. Whether it decades ago "infiltrated" and was later recruited as an informant? "We are totally in the dark," says Claus Schreer.

The last companion of Günter K. said to have been rather apolitical, but now and then accompanied him at events. According to the parties which now also deceased wife knew nothing of his spying activities. His clients apparently cared not about the psychological consequences of such a double life. That the alleged undercover agent did not reach the retirement age and no traces could also blur more to lead his people back to the goal of a drug problem, which is said to have worsened in recent years. Nevertheless, he was until recently considered reliable and was not due to bad behavior.

Günter K. and his clients were apparently less tight circle on the left-wing scene as interested in the intersections of the working alliance with a choice of extra-parliamentary left parties and trade unions. Got himself on the edge of the civil rights wing of the FDP in the focus of spying, as the current Federal Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger should be won in May 2008 as a speaker for a rally against the Bavarian Assembly Act. The law, which was then called such a broad front to protest the plan was later dumped by the Federal Constitutional Court. In this framework, Günter K. many names of prominent civil rights activists in his tape-including the Protocol on the former SPD mayor of Munich and Bavarian Constitutional Court judge Klaus Hahnzog. Even lawyer Angelika Lex and her husband, the Green Party Councillor Siegfried Benker, are mentioned by name. Of interest were apparently not only the preparatory meeting to protest against the Assembly Act or the annual "Munich Security Conference," but also the personal circumstances of individual activists - as in one case, permanent financial straits. About their own financial situation and the informant reward by Gunter K., who is said to have sold full-time insurance, nothing further is known.
