Reichskunstwart
The Reichskunstwart was an official subordinate to the Reich Ministry of the Interior of the Weimar Republic , who was entrusted with all official measures relating to artistic questions. He also mediated between the Reich authorities and artists. The office address was Berlin NW 40, Platz der Republik 6 .
On December 29, 1919 Edwin Redslob was appointed Reichskunstwart. However, he did not take office until July 1, 1920. Around February 27, 1933, the Reich Minister of the Interior, Wilhelm Frick , ordered Redslob to be dismissed immediately. The competencies of this office were transferred to the Reich Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda ; so Redslob remained the only Reichskunstwart.
