After the seizure of power by the Nazis in 1933, the previous nine chambers of commerce in were Republic of Baden ( Freiburg , Heidelberg , Karlsruhe , Konstanz , Lahr , Mannheim , Pforzheim , Schopfheim and Villingen ) dissolved on July 1, 1933rd Tasks and assets were transferred to the newly founded Baden Chamber of Commerce and Industry, which was to form the centralized IHK for the state of Baden. Organizationally, the core of the new chamber was the previous Karlsruhe Chamber of Commerce and Industry. However, this wasbrought into line : the self-government of the economy was abolished, the chamber organized according to the leader principle . Branch offices of the Baden Chamber of Commerce and Industry were set up in six of the previous chambers (Mannheim, Karlsruhe, Pforzheim, Freiburg, Schopfheim and Konstanz).
