Reich Treasury

The Reichsschatzministerium was a Reich Ministry that existed only in the early years of the Weimar Republic .

development

In 1919 the Reich Treasury Department, together with the Reich Ministry of Finance, succeeded the Imperial Treasury Office . Initially, it was responsible for the administration of the Reich's own assets, the financial supervision of the war and economic peace organizations as well as for the procurement and administration of income from sources other than customs duties, taxes and fees. As the legal successor to the army administration, it was also responsible for the utilization of the military remnants from the First World War.

The Reich Ministry of Finance as the tax and customs administration of the Reich was initially set up in parallel, since the reparations demands of the Allies, unlike in the Empire, made a centralized financial administration necessary. In 1923 , the Reich Treasury was incorporated into the Reich Finance Ministry.
