history

The Reich Economic Court was established in 1915 as the Reich Arbitration Court for war supplies based on the ordinance on securing war supplies of June 24, 1915. In disputes, the court was responsible for determining the takeover price in the event of war-related expropriations. The senates were each occupied by one person qualified to hold the office of judge as chairman and four assessors from the trading stand.

In 1917 the court was renamed Reich Arbitration Court for War Economics , and after the end of the First World War it was renamed Reich Economics Court . The seat of the former Reich Military Court was established in 1922 . At the same time, responsibilities were expanded many times. It was an administrative court .

The Reich Economic Court appeared in the second half of 1921 under the chairmanship of Senate President Schneider, among other things, as an appellate instance against notices in "disturbance damage matters" issued by the so-called committees to determine compensation for riot damage. These commissions were set up in the spring of 1920, especially in the districts and municipalities of the Ruhr area after the warlike "March riots" with the participation of the Freikorps, Reichswehr and Red Ruhr Army. In this way, in a special administrative procedure, private parties should be granted prompt settlement of claims after the material destruction, coercive measures and violent requisitions of March / April 1920. The legal basis for decisions on private compensation claims against the public sector was the so-called Tumultschadengesetz (Tumult Damage Act) and its implementing regulations issued by the constituent national assembly .

From 1923 to 1938, the cartel court existed at the Reich Economic Court due to the Cartel Ordinance .

On May 1, 1941, the court was dissolved as an independent institution and integrated into the Reich Administrative Court .
