andinternationalagreements

11 Beginningsofcompenshysationunderoccupationlaw

It was clear even directly after the end ofthe Second World War that legislationgoverning compensation for the wrongscommitted by the National SocialistregimewasrequiredParticularlyaffectedwerethosewhohadsufferedNationalSoshycialist oppressive measures due to theirpolitical opposition to National Socialismoronthegroundsofracereligionorideshyology Legislation for these persons wastherefore drawn up at an early stage bythe occupying powers the municipalitiesand since their establishment the Laumlnder(federalstates)

12 Restitution

In 1947 and 1949 the three Western powshyers passed restitution acts for their occushypation zones and West Berlin governingrestitutionofandcompensationforpropshyerty unjustly confiscated between 1933and1945forreasonsofracialreligiousorpoliticalpersecutionFollowingtheestabshylishment of the Federal Republic of Gershymany restitution claims against the Gershyman Reich and other German entities inshyvolved in such confiscation were govshyerned by the Federal Act for the Settleshyment of the Monetary Restitution Liabilishyties of the German Reich and Legal EntishytiesofEqualLegalStatus(FederalRestitushytion Act) of 19 July 1957 (Federal LawGazette I p 734) The restitution processwasconcludedalongtimeagoTheapplishycation deadlines have passed and the adshyministrative procedures have ceased tooperate

Following German unification theprovisions from the restitution acts wereadopted for the new federal states in theAct on the Settlement of Open PropertyMatters (which entered into force toshygether with the Unification Treaty) andthe Federal Act for the Compensation ofthe Victims of National Socialist Persecushytion (Article 3 of the Compensation andCorrectivePaymentsAct)

13 Compensationregulashytionsintheoccupationzones

As far as compensation law governingpersonalinjurycasesanddamagetopropshyerty not covered by restitution is conshycerned Land laws were adopted in theAmerican occupation zone as early as1946 They provided for provisional payshymentsforhealthcarevocationaltrainingeconomic assistance or remedies for disshytress situations and pensions for victimsand their dependants On 26 April 1949theActontheTreatmentofVictimsofNashytional Socialist Persecution in the Area ofSocial Security was adopted by the Southshyern German Laumlnder Council for all zonesThis was promulgated by Land laws inBavaria Bremen Badenshy WuumlrttembergandHesseinAugust1949InlinewithArshyticle125oftheBasicLawtheseLandlawsbecame federal law after the establishshyment of the Federal Republic of Germanyand entry into force of the Basic Law IntheLaumlnderoftheBritishandFrenchoccushypation zones and West Berlin correshysponding laws were enacted which withthe exception of Laumlnder in the British ocshycupation zone governed the same typesofdamageastheActontheTreatmentofVictims of National Socialist PersecutionintheAreaofSocialSecurity

In 1947 and 1949 the three Western powshyers passed restitution acts for their occushypation zones and West Berlin governingrestitutionofandcompensationforpropshyerty unjustly confiscated between 1933and1945forreasonsofracialreligiousorpoliticalpersecutionFollowingtheestabshylishment of the Federal Republic of Gershymany restitution claims against the Gershyman Reich and other German entities inshyvolved in such confiscation were govshyerned by the Federal Act for the Settleshyment of the Monetary Restitution Liabilishyties of the German Reich and Legal EntishytiesofEqualLegalStatus(FederalRestitushytion Act) of 19 July 1957 (Federal LawGazette I p 734) The restitution processwasconcludedalongtimeagoTheapplishycation deadlines have passed and the adshyministrative procedures have ceased tooperate

Following German unification theprovisions from the restitution acts wereadopted for the new federal states in theAct on the Settlement of Open PropertyMatters (which entered into force toshygether with the Unification Treaty) andthe Federal Act for the Compensation ofthe Victims of National Socialist Persecushytion (Article 3 of the Compensation andCorrectivePaymentsAct)

11 Beginningsofcompenshysationunderoccupationlaw

It was clear even directly after the end ofthe Second World War that legislationgoverning compensation for the wrongscommitted by the National SocialistregimewasrequiredParticularlyaffectedwerethosewhohadsufferedNationalSoshycialist oppressive measures due to theirpolitical opposition to National Socialismoronthegroundsofracereligionorideshyology Legislation for these persons wastherefore drawn up at an early stage bythe occupying powers the municipalitiesand since their establishment the Laumlnder(federalstates)

12 Restitution

In 1947 and 1949 the three Western powshyers passed restitution acts for their occushypation zones and West Berlin governingrestitutionofandcompensationforpropshyerty unjustly confiscated between 1933and1945forreasonsofracialreligiousorpoliticalpersecutionFollowingtheestabshylishment of the Federal Republic of Gershymany restitution claims against the Gershyman Reich and other German entities inshyvolved in such confiscation were govshyerned by the Federal Act for the Settleshyment of the Monetary Restitution Liabilishyties of the German Reich and Legal EntishytiesofEqualLegalStatus(FederalRestitushytion Act) of 19 July 1957 (Federal LawGazette I p 734) The restitution processwasconcludedalongtimeagoTheapplishycation deadlines have passed and the adshyministrative procedures have ceased tooperate

Following German unification theprovisions from the restitution acts wereadopted for the new federal states in theAct on the Settlement of Open PropertyMatters (which entered into force toshygether with the Unification Treaty) andthe Federal Act for the Compensation ofthe Victims of National Socialist Persecushytion (Article 3 of the Compensation andCorrectivePaymentsAct)

In an effort to provide compensationfor the victims of experiments as quicklyas possible the German Government inagreement with the ICRC concludedcomprehensive agreements with Yushygoslavia Czechoslovakia Hungary andPoland which benefited those who hadnot yet received compensation but couldexpectadecisionintheirfavourTheGershymansidehasmetitsobligationsinfull
