Profiteers of Nazism after 1945: A Comparison of Property Control and Material Denazification in Hamburg and Munich

我们要求将目前的DFG项目延长9个月。该项目正在研究从1945年5月到20世纪50年代末被纳粹定罪的公职精英的私人和公司资产的处理情况。由于他们在纳粹统治体系中的重要地位，这些前公务员精英属于盟军在战争结束后立即下令对其进行资产控制的人群。纳粹党的所有政治领导人，从地方团体领导人以上，附属组织和分支机构的主要官员，以及盖世太保和安全警察的所有成员，还有高级公务员，工业公司和银行的监事会和执行董事会成员都受到影响。该项目审查纳粹负担和遗产对战后政治、行政和商业有关人士的传记产生重大影响的程度。由于1945年至1949年这一时期被认为对德国的联邦共和国的财富分配具有“至关重要的意义”，本研究将主要侧重于战后时期。然而，由于财产法方面的争议不断，调查期间延长到1950年代末。目的是从财产控制和物质非纳粹化的过程和影响中得出结论，说明地方精英在从国家社会主义向民主过渡过程中的社会经济转型动态。

We request the extension of the current DFG project by 9 months. The project is researching the handling of private and corporate assets of functionary elites incriminated by the Nazis from May 1945 to the end of the 1950s. Due to their responsible position in the Nazi system of rule, the former functionary elites belonged to the group of people for whom the Allies ordered asset control immediately after the end of the war. All political leaders of the NSDAP from the local group leader upwards, leading functionaries of the subsidiary organisations and branches, as well as all members of the Gestapo and security police, but also senior civil servants, supervisory board and executive board members of industrial companies and banks were affected. The project examines the extent to which Nazi burdens and legacies had a material impact on the post-war biographies of the persons concerned in politics, administration and business. Since the period from 1945 to 1949 is considered to be of "crucial importance" for the distribution of wealth in the Federal Republic of Germany, the study will focus primarily on the post-war period. However, due to ongoing disputes over property law aspects, the period under investigation extends to the end of the 1950s. The aim is to draw conclusions for the dynamics of the socio-economic transformation of local elites in the transition from National Socialism to democracy from the course and effects of property control and material denazification.
