Landtag Of The Republic Of Baden
The Landtag of the Republic of Baden was the representative legislative body for the Republic of Baden from 1919 to 1934 during the time of the Weimar Republic. It succeeded the second chamber of the ''Badische Ständeversammlung'' (Chamber of Estates) of the Grand Duchy of Baden. Through most of the Weimar period, the ''Landtag'' was dominated by parties of the Weimar Coalition, with the Catholic Centre Party as the largest party. After the Nazis came to power at the national level, they instituted the ''Gleichschaltung'' (coordination) process by enacting the " Provisional Law on the Coordination of the States with the Reich" on 30 March 1933. This dissolved all the sitting ''Landtage'' and reconstituted them on the basis of the recent 5 March 1933 ''Reichstag'' election results, which had given the Nazi Party and its coalition partner the DNVP a working majority. In Baden, this resulted in the Weimar Coalition parties being reduced from 58 seats to 25, while the Nazis and the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

List Of Ministers-president Of Baden-Württemberg
A list is a Set (mathematics), set of discrete items of information collected and set forth in some format for utility, entertainment, or other purposes. A list may be memorialized in any number of ways, including existing only in the mind of the list-maker, but lists are frequently written down on paper, or maintained electronically. Lists are "most frequently a tool", and "one does not ''read'' but only ''uses'' a list: one looks up the relevant information in it, but usually does not need to deal with it as a whole".Lucie Doležalová,The Potential and Limitations of Studying Lists, in Lucie Doležalová, ed., ''The Charm of a List: From the Sumerians to Computerised Data Processing'' (2009). Purpose It has been observed that, with a few exceptions, "the scholarship on lists remains fragmented". David Wallechinsky, a co-author of ''The Book of Lists'', described the attraction of lists as being "because we live in an era of overstimulation, especially in terms of information, ...

(New York: Hawthorn Books, 1960 [1st Edition]), p. 137 i.e. the recognition and privileges of the Catholic Church in a particular country and with secular matters that affect church interests. According to P. W. Brown the use of the term "concordat" does not appear "until the pontificate of Pope Martin V (1413–1431) in a work by Nicholas of Cusa, Nicholas de Cusa, entitled ''De Concordantia Catholica''. The first concordat dates from 1098, and from then to the beginning of the World War I, First World War the Holy See signed 74 concordats.

Left Communists (Weimar Republic)
The Left Communists were a group of members of the Reichstag and the Prussian Landtag expelled from the Communist Party of Germany (KPD) in the period 1926–1928. Reichstag The Left Communists in the Reichstag were not a uniform political group, but merely a "technical" group to achieve group or parliamentary rights, totalling 15 politicians who had been expelled from the KPD between January 1926 and February 1928. These were both former members of the "left" wing of the KPD, such as Ruth Fischer, Hugo Urbahns, and Werner Scholem, as well as "ultra-left" members of parliament such as Iwan Katz, Karl Korsch, Ernst Schwarz, Heinrich Schlagewerth ( de), and Karl Tiedt ( de), there was no consensus on fundamental questions for communists, such as the question of a united front, the attitude to the Soviet Union, or the ADGB trade unions.

Reich Party For Civil Rights And Deflation
The Reich Party for Civil Rights and Deflation (), also known as the People's Justice Party (''Volksrechtpartei'', VRP), was a political party active in the Weimar Republic in Germany. History The inflation crisis of 1923 sparked numerous calls for revaluation and, whilst measures to this end were introduced in 1925, they did not satisfy many advocates of the policy and so in 1926 the ''Sparerbund für das Deutsche Reich'' decided to form its own political party. The party set itself up as the defender of savers and called for the creation of as broad a middle class as possible. In contrast to the Reich Party of the German Middle Class (WP), another middle class party, it sought to represent those who were worst hit by the hyperinflation of the early 1920s, with the WP representing the property owners who had done well from the crisis.

Reich Party Of The German Middle Class
The Reich Party of the German Middle Class (), known from 1920 to 1925 as the Economic Party of the German Middle Classes (), was a conservative German political party during the Weimar Republic. It was commonly known as the Economic Party (, WP). Development Following the establishment of the Weimar Republic, the German National People's Party (DNVP), which emerged as the main conservative party, hoped to include Germany's established bourgeoisie as a natural part of its own support base. This however was not to be the case, as the party quickly became associated with general rural interests as well as those of big business, and as a result the WP was formed in 1920 to be the party of these middle-class views.Geoff Eley, ''Reshaping the German Right: Radical Nationalism and Political Change After Bismarck'', University of Michigan Press, 1991, p. 359 In order to reflect the views of this group, the WP called for a reduction in government economic involvement, a freer hand for busi ...

The German Democratic Party (, DDP) was a liberal political party in the Weimar Republic, considered centrist or centre-left.

After the formation of the first German state to be constituted along pluralist-democratic lines, the DDP took part as a member of varying coalitions in almost all Weimar Republic cabinets from 1919 to 1932. Before the Reichstag elections of 1930, it united with the , which was part of the national liberal Young German Order (). From that point on the party called itself the German State Party (, DStP) and retained the name even after the Reich Association left the party. Because of the connection to the Reich Association, members of the left wing of the DDP brok ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
