History

On the basis of a decree of 1938-04-26 enforced in 1938-06, persons considered 'Jewish' under the racist Nuremberg Laws were required to register their property over RM 5,000 at the Vermögensverkehrsstelle, an authority created on 1938-05-18. The asset registrations formed the basis of later confiscations. The Vermögensverkehrsstelle had also an office in Vienna.
