Rosemarie Albrecht

In 1948, Rosemarie became a lecturer at the University of Jena. In 1952, she became the head physician at the university's ENT and later became the chairwoman of the otolaryngology department for the Erfurt Medical Academy. In 1957, she was hired by Professor Johannes Carl August Eduard Zange to be a college professor at the Friedrich Schiller University of Jena. Rosemarie was also elected to the board of the German Society for Otorhinolaryngology and served as Dean of the Medical Faculty of Friedrich Schiller University Jena from 1965 to 1967. Simultaneously, she held the Chair of Otorhinolaryngology at the Academy for Medical Continuing Education of the GDR and was thus involved in developing the standards for ENT specialists. Albrecht retired in 1975 at the age of 60.^[1][5][6][7]

In 1964, the Gera district office of the Stasi launched an investigation into Rosemarie's background during the war but was forcefully halted by the Stasi in East Berlin. In 2004, the case was renewed following Operation Last Chance, launched by the Simon Wiesenthal Center to bring former Nazi officials to justice. Rosemarie was once again investigated but was deemed unfit to stand trial and was not guilty by reason of insanity in February 2005. Rosemarie died 3 years later at her home, aged 92.^{[1][8][9][10]}
