Reich film censorship
The Reichsfilmzensur was the state film censorship authority during the Weimar Republic .
history
The Council of the People's Deputies had declared any censorship at an end on 12 November 1918th Nevertheless, the major distributors voluntarily submitted to the decisions of the Berlin Police Department's film inspection agency. With the Reichslichtspielgesetz of May 12, 1920, however, film censorship was again subjected to state regulation. There were two offices, one in Berlin and one in Munich until 1934, as well as a senior censorship office that was responsible for appointments. The decisions were recorded on censorship cards with different colors ( suitable for minors , not for minors , may not be announced as a detective film, etc.) . There were around 70,000 decisions, many cards were lost during World War II. Around 41,000 cards still exist, around 40,000 of which are in the Federal Archives Film Archive alone.
