Weimar Agreement

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Weimar Agreement was a treaty between the German Reich and the federal states dated August 30, 1919. Article 83 of the Weimar Constitution (WRV) stipulated that customs duties and consumption taxes were administered by Reich authorities. This required a transfer of human and material resources from the states to the empire. The Weimar Agreement regulated the takeover of personnel and property from the tax and customs administration to the German Reich. With regard to the land, the Reich could have claimed the transfer free of charge under the law on the legal relationships of objects intended for official use by a Reich administration (Reich Property Law ); Reich Finance Minister Matthias Erzberger waived this in the course of a compromise with the federal states.

The Weimar Agreement had an impact until recently.
