IOB, interest group of the companies expropriated in the zone

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The IOB, interest group for companies expropriated in the zone, was founded in 1948 as a non-partisan association under the name IOB, interest group for companies expropriated in the eastern zone . Its purpose is to promote and care for people and societies who were damaged in the Soviet zone of occupation , the German Democratic Republic and East Berlin through expropriation , confiscation of their businesses or other impairments of their rights.

The association has had its current name since May 1, 1960. The IOB is a registered association and is non-profit . The board works on a voluntary basis .

According to the news magazine Spiegel , the IOB campaigned for the interests of over 400 large companies affected by expropriations in 1949. The expropriated Berlin and East Zone companies in West Germany should be given the same legal status as the fugitive entrepreneurs from the area behind the Oder-Neisse line. The IOB was represented by three representatives on the research advisory board for questions relating to the reunification of Germany .

After reunification, the IOB stepped up its public relations work and demanded a "swift transfer back" of properties left behind in the GDR, or at least compensation. It supported plaintiff members in proceedings and financed a constitutional complaint against the Compensation and Compensation Act.
