After the Second World War , the Reichsnährstand and the rural farming communities were abolished. From autumn 1945 commissions for land reform and committees for mutual peasant aid were established at the local level. In the spring of 1946, the regional associations of the Association of Mutual Farmers Aid (VdgB) emerged, including the VdgB of the Province of Saxony, as corporations under public law . These were the successors of the peasant associations, chambers and the agricultural cooperative associations. The aim of the organization was first to support the land reform and later the development of a socialist agriculture .
It also had the function of a political party . The VdgB of the Province of Saxony achieved a share of the vote of 2.5% and two seats in the state elections in the Province of Saxony in 1946 . The low election result (measured by the number of farmers) was also due to the fact that all three VdgB members of the VdgB in the province of Saxony were SED members and the parliamentarians could not work independently in the interests of the farmers. Were elected Walter Biering , chairman of VdgB in the province of Saxony and Otto Körting , the zone chairman of VdgB, the Vice President of the Landtag was. In July 1950, Körting was expelled from the SED for alleged “reactionary activities” and lost his mandate in the state parliament. Alois Pisnik was the successor . In the sham elections to the state parliament in 1950 , Erich Scheinhardt and Hans Sroda were chosen as members of the state parliament for the VdgB.
With the abolition of the states in the GDR in 1952, all state-related organizations initially ended and merged with those of the districts .
