Society for European economic planning and large-scale economy

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Society for European Economic Planning and Greater Industry Association ( GEWG ) was an institution, the foreign trade in September 1939 by the Head of the Foreign Affairs Office of the NSDAP , Werner Daitz in Dresden was founded.

Task of society

This society had the task of underpinning the expansion of its sphere of influence to other European countries through a conception of the "new order of Europe" and the development of methods for the formation of a European "large economic area" under German leadership (cf. . National Socialist European Plans ).

The statutes of this society provided that cooperation between peoples and states in economic and cultural areas should be promoted as planned. Furthermore, economic structures and the resulting possibilities of a mutual complement, including their livelihoods, should be researched.

As a further continuation of these activities, the "Central Institute for National Economic Planning, Economic Control and Large-Scale Economics eV" emerged from this society in February 1941, based in Dresden, which in 1942 was called the "Central Research Institute for National Economic Order and Large Area Economics".

The company evidently developed its own environment of activity. She built economic advisory boards on the level of the Gaue. At the beginning of 1942 it was planned to build up company structures below the Gaue. On January 15, 1942, however, the Reichsgruppe Industrie prohibited further developments of this type of structure in a circular .

The GeWG published a magazine in which the contributions of the deliberations of the society and its business activities were published.
