history
With the publication in the Reichsgesetzblatt on August 25, 1921, the telephone regulations became law . The telephone regulations were issued on the basis of Section 12 of the Telephone Fees Act of July 11, 1921. Since the telephone regulations also stipulated fees and costs for connections and devices, they had to be changed in the event of changes in fees, as well as the addition or removal of devices. The changes were made through the announcement of corresponding "ordinances amending the telephone regulations" in the government's public gazette:
- until 1923 in the Reichsgesetzblatt ,
- from 1924 to 1945 in the official gazette of the Reich Ministry of Post ,
- from 1948 to 1949 in the official gazette of the main administration for the postal and telecommunications system of the United Economic Area ,
- from 1950 to 1969 in the official gazette of the Federal Minister for the Post and Telecommunications and
- from 1969 to 1970 in the Federal Law Gazette .
Around 40 changes were made during the entire period of validity of the Telephone Code. New versions were published at irregular intervals that took into account previous changes:
- December 1922
- June 1924
- February 1927
- November 1939
- 1950
- March 1956
On July 1, 1971, the telephone regulations were replaced by the telecommunications regulations .
