dietrich von hildebrand's influence extended beyond the narrow issue of a religious denomination. sattler also came to share his uncle's hostility to the nazi party which took power in january 1933 and spent the next few months transforming the country into a one-party dictatorship. dieter sattler's marriage to maria clara schiedges took place on 19 may 1933 in salzburg, at that stage still just across the border from nazi germany, in austria. in 1932 sattler had acquired a property at grendach near taching am see, close to salzburg but on the german side of the frontier. the region was far off the beaten track, but his brother, the landscape painter berhard sattler, already lived in an adjacent hamlet. bernhard had "discovered" the region which he valued for its visual and artistic beauty. dieter sattler caused a seemingly unprecedented surge in employment opportunities for the small holders in the village by having the former cowshed on his property converted into a family home. at this stage, however, after the marriage the sattler couple (soon a young family) settled in berlin where sattler still hoped to continue with his studies and obtain a habilitation (higher degree). he was supervised for his studies by a professor who shortly after this had his teaching permit withdrawn because, according to the authorities, he was jewish. after this sattler found his will to join the nation's academic establishment had disappeared. nevertheless, while pursuing his career as an architect he continued to take an active interest in other matters. for example, there were still lengthy trips abroad, and he organised at least one concert tour by the brilliant (and already world-famous) russian pianist, vladimir horowitz.
