Hotels, restaurants and private quarters served as accommodation for evacuees and refugees during the Second World War. There were conflicts between residents and new arrivals. In June 1942, an SA squad leader from Murnau complained about a non-native woman wearing wide men's trousers. He considered her outfit a "public nuisance". The incident was discussed at SA and NSDAP meetings. The SA suggested that the NSDAP should put up signs reading: "Women who wear men's trousers (and are not employed) are not welcome." Even the mayor and local council had to deal with the issue. Although they did not put up signs, the mayor sworn the restaurants not to serve women wearing trousers. Mayor Amann wrote to the SA that he had ordered the police to inform such women "that it cannot be guaranteed that women wearing men's trousers will not cause any undesirable public appearances in Murnau, which is why the women may have to expect to be taken into protective custody. In this way, I believe, the women in question will most likely be put off from staying there and the offensive behavior will stop."
