history

The Grand Ducal Hessian Chamber of Commerce in Bingen was founded in 1862. The regulations corresponded to those of the Worms Chamber of Commerce . The first five members of the chamber were elected by the ten most important merchants or factory owners under the leadership of the district council. Annually, two members determined by lot resigned and new elections took place for these, whereby the previous members could be re-elected. The constituent meeting of the Bingen Chamber of Commerce took place on April 25, 1862. The chamber was initially only responsible for the city of Bingen.

The Grand Ducal Hessian Chamber of Commerce Act of 1871 was signed by Grand Duke Ludwig III on November 17, 1871. All entrepreneurs who were entered in the commercial register and belonged to the first four classes of trade tax were now entitled to vote. Now the members have been elected for three years. A third dropped out every year.

In 1900 the chamber district was expanded to include the Bingen and Alzey districts . Nevertheless, the IHK Bingen was one of the smallest chambers in Germany. In 1925, the IHK Bingen with 1193 members liable to pay contributions was the chamber in 109th place of the 117 IHKs in Germany.

In 1902, with the amendment to the Chamber of Commerce Act, the chamber was renamed the Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The self-administration of the economy ended in the time of National Socialism . Now the president of the chamber (now chairman) was appointed and this appointed the members of the chamber according to the leader principle . With the IHK-VO of 1934, the responsibility of the federal states for chamber legislation ended and the IHKs were regulated uniformly across the empire. You were now part of the management of the economy under National Socialism . In 1943 the IHK Bingen was dissolved and transferred together with the Chamber of Crafts to the " Gauwirtschaftskammer Rhein-Main ", headed by Hermann Gamer .

The French military government did not allow a new IHK to be established in Bingen.In 1946, the IHK Worms, the IHK Bingen and the IHK Mainz were merged to form the Chamber of Commerce and Industry for Rheinhessen .
