history

prehistory

The Reichsbeamtengesetz of 1873 was the first law for civil servants in the German Reich . It was revised in 1907 and was replaced by the German Civil Service Act of January 26, 1937 (RGBl. IS 577). The "Act for the Provisional Regulation of the Legal Relationships of Persons in the Service of the Federation" ( Federal Law Gazette p. 207 ) declared the German Civil Servants Act to be applicable, along with the provisions issued for its implementation, taking into account some of the changes mentioned in the law. It was published on June 30, 1950 as the “Federal Version of the German Civil Service Act” ( Federal Law Gazette p. 279 ) and took into account changes from 1939 (RGBl. IS 577), 1940 (RGBl. IS 1645), 1941 (RGBl. IS 646) and 1942 (RGBl. IS 107). This was in effect until the Federal Civil Service Act came into force on September 1, 1953.
