German term

S. Fahnd-Blatt

German to English Social Sciences Law (general)
In the 1923 police records of the city of Leipzig, Germany, I found this notation concerning a man, whose whereabouts were in question. He had been expelled from Leipzig:

1. Fahndung A auf (man's name)
2. Ausschreiben i. S. Fahnd-Blatt
3. Mitteilung an das Stat. Amt beizulegen.

(man's name) zur Fahndung A gestellt.

I'm assuming this person was being placed on a "wanted list" of sorts, and the "S. Fahnd-Blatt" may have been some sort of publication, perhaps "Sächsisches Fahnd-Blatt"???

"by means of" doesn't cut it .... but you're the judge and jury.....

@ Anna Augustin Or maybe even "im Sinne"? I found this phrase used in a related document concerning this same incident....
Anna Augustin Jul 27, 2021:
Just thinking out loud here: Could "i. S." also mean "in Sachen"? As "in the matter of"?
David Hollywood Jul 27, 2021:
S could be "Sächsisches" as Phil suggests...
David Hollywood Jul 27, 2021:
dated 1923 so no Gestapo involved

Fahnden means to search for, so yes, wanted list. I think "Sächsisches" is a reasonable guess, since Leipzig is in Saxony, but we can't be sure.

by means of wanted poster

i.S. here seems to refer to in terms of, or as can be seen on/in. So thy have to make an announcement, and the way it is being done in this case is by wanted poster. Ccould be mandatory or not, to do it this way or to even make an announcement, but likely mandatory, and the manner in which it is done, in this case by wanted poster, could be optional - other options could be to put an advertisement in the newspaper for example.

Nice one !! Thank you for this...
