The US occupying forces arrested the leading NS official Langoth and interned him in Glasenbach until 1947.

The Austrian denazification process was considerably more lenient. Despite the fact that under war criminal legislation, and in particular due to his activities as a "Volksgerichtshof" (People's Court) judge, Langoth could have been subject to criminal proceedings, no charges were preferred.

Following a variety of political intervention, Langoth was amnestied by the federal president at the end of 1950.
