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负有责任的地位，这些前官员精英属于盟军在战争结束后立即下令对其进行资产管制的人群。纳粹党所有的政治领导人，从地方党组领导到附属组织和分支机构的领导人员，以及盖世太保和安全警察的所有成员，以及高级公务员、工业公司和银行的监事会和执行董事会成员都受到了影响。该项目审查纳粹的负担和遗产在多大程度上对政治、行政和商业有关人士的战后传记产生了重大影响。由于1945年至1949年这一时期被认为对德意志联邦共和国的财富分配具有“至关重要”的意义，本研究将主要集中于战后时期。然而，由于财产法方面的持续争议，调查期间延长到20世纪50年代末。其目的是从财产管制和物质去纳粹化的过程和影响中，为从国家社会主义向民主过渡中地方精英的社会经济转型的动态得出结论。

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.
