Standstill commissioner for organizations, clubs and associations
The Standstill Commissioner for Organizations, Clubs and Associations ( Stiko ) was a Reich Commissioner for the synchronization or liquidation of legal entities during National Socialism in areas that were annexed by the German Reich.
Albert Hoffmann was commissioned in 1938 as standstill commissioner for the connection of Austria , later also in the Reichsgau Sudetenland and the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia , where he was primarily responsible for liquidating property rights.
As a standstill commissioner, he was able to dissolve associations, collect their assets and integrate them into a Reich German organization. If he allowed a legal person to exist, the Führer principle and Aryan paragraphs had to be included in the respective statutes.
In Austria, around 60% of around 70,000 wound-up clubs were dissolved and the statutes were changed for 40%. The Stiko withdrew in Austria legal entities assets of about 240 million Reichsmarks ; which corresponded to about two thirds of the total assets of the registered clubs.
