Contains:1926 April 28 - Ludwigshafen: Stadtpfarrprediger und Caritassekretär Flörchinger informs Marx about the former manager of the Caritas-verband, Abt. Wirtschaftshilfe, Johann Heinz-Rheingönheim, that he does not enjoy a good reputation. Eh. Signature.11/2 p., mach.-typed Ausf.1926 April 29 - Ludwigshafen: Dr. Fink writes to Marx that Johann Heinz used to spend a lot of time in the family of the party secretary Dr. Verkoyen. Heinz, on the other hand, claims that Lehn's foolish assertions about Marx's salary situation were correct. Fink thinks Heinz is a good Z-man. Eh. Signature.2 S., mach.-typewritten copy, header sheet, Neue Pfälz. Ldes. Ztg-.1929 June 27 - Arnsberg: Former Reichsminister Dr. Haslinde, District Administrator, explains after an interview with Marx with regard to the intended reduction of ministerial pensions that the retirement pension has always been regarded as a retained part of the salary and that its reduction would thus constitute a violation of a well-acquired right. The ministers who had risen from civil servant status would face particular hardship if, following a cabinet crisis, the retired minister were to receive a pension which was lower than the salary of his previous service, in which he could have remained for a long time. Haslinde has completely lost his own fortune and that of his wife in inflation, was hardly able to make do with his emoluments as a district administrator and government representative and, as a minister, has saved nothing in a year. With regard to my ministerial pension, to which I therefore have a legal claim, I (I) believed that I could follow my passion and that I could take over the position of a district administrator, which was in itself only slightly remunerated, with the payment of considerably higher salaries. It hopes that the law to be expected will not be given retroactive force and possibilities for exemption in cases of hardship. But the Z must ensure that no well-acquired rights are violated. Eh. Signature.31/4 p., machine-written copy, personal headscore.1931 April 22 - Bitterfeld: Pastor Fr. Beulke refers to information given by a lawyer about the pensions of Bismarck, v. Mackensen and those of Marx. He asks him what the exact facts are. Eh. Signature.1/2 p., mach.-schriftl. Ausf., independent calculations by Marx.[193]1 April 25: Marx informs Beulke about his pension, for which 45 years of service were credited. If he gave up a part, it wouldn't serve any purpose. The fact that the Republic must pay its officials higher salaries is due to the fact that the Democracy has an interest in bringing people of simple origin into the higher offices of state, who do not have so much wealth that they can in themselves meet the high standards of living that the dressing of higher offices of state entails. People like Prince Bismarck or Prince Bülow had large estates and rich fortunes. Perhaps one wants to put only commercial councils or rich big landowners to the determining places in the state again. One may only do it.2 5., copy of Masch.-Schreiben, without certification.19]31 June 24 - at present Wildbad: Reichsfinanzminister a. D. Köhler informs Reichsfinanzminister Dietrich that after the reduction of the official remuneration of the active minister by 28 Ufo he voluntarily renounces, under the reservation of revocation at any time, besides the reduction of 13 Ufo in accordance with the ordinance, a further 1S Ufo of his retirement pension from 1. 7. in favour of the Reichskasse.1 5th, mach.-schriftl. copy.[19]31 June 28 - Seelisberg: Marx pledged a total of 33 Ufo of his pension to the Reich Minister of Finance. In the event of his death, however, the widow's pension is to be calculated from the full amount of his statutory retirement pension.1 Half page, independent Entw.1931 June 30: 'Treffurter Nadlridlten' with Art. against Marx' Pension.1931 July 16 - Paderborn: Editor Johannes Grohmann sends Marx letters. He believes that an explanation is needed to reassure voters. Eh. Untschrift.1/: 5., mach.-schriftl. Ausf., headbow ,Sächs. Ztg.'1931 July 20: Marx Grohmann writes that at the miserable time the bitterness of the people about everyone who has more is mensdllidl explainable. But through renunciation satisfaction is hardly achieved; the masses are only satisfied when everything is given up, as Mr. Günther also demands. Marx would like to refrain from an art. in order not to attract attention anew. It does, however, make us think about where to go if only rich people become civil servants and deputies, and if they have to refrain from tiring but wealthless ones. The many large pensioners in the military can be explained by many promotions at relatively young ages. He then explains the reasons for his own high pension and points out his support obligations for impoverished relatives. The total savings in the salaries and pensions of civil servants, which have completely reversed the 1927 salary increase, amount to S million. These are disproportionate to the 700-800 million for unemployment benefits. In the Praxi!,i however it depends on a financial resultaudl nidlt. The soul of the people must be given satisfaction. That is why the renunciation of people with large incomes from state resources is absolutely necessary and desirable. The fact that the RR pension reduction law has not yet passed the RT, however, is only the fault of the NSDAP. The Reich Ministry of Finance has not yet called on pensioners to give up; such a move does not appear to be economic because it limits consumer power. Marx asks for confidentiality: "I have always hated all hashing according to popular favour! He acknowledges the performances of Ztg.4 S., copy of Masch.-Schreiben, without authentication.1931 July 25 - Halberstadt: Anstaltsdir. Georg Schilling writes to Marx that nat.-socialist., communist. and german-nat. Ztgn. To bring article that he receives 38000 RM pension and in addition the RT diets Eh. Signature.1/2 p., mach.-typed Ausf.1931 July 27: Marx informs Schilling about the composition and amount of his pension. In the meantime, he has renounced one third, but does not want to hear about it in public. In general, renunciation has only psychological significance, because nobody benefits from it. The masses would possibly (?) agree if I renounced everything. The Nazi have the least cause for agitation; Hitler's bodyguard is paid high salaries, and Hitler himself and Goebbels drive precious cars. The pension reduction law has been abducted solely through the fault of the Nazi. The RT diets may not be renounced by law.2 S., Durchschrift v. Masch.-Schreiben, without certification.1931 July 28: Marx writes to Pradel that he will soon discuss his matter with Lammers. On the brochure about the amount of his pension distributed by the National Socialists in Eichsfeld, the calculation of which he explains and one third of which he voluntarily waived, it can be countered that the National Socialists themselves are the biggest spendthrifts for their "bonzes", see expenses for the Schutztruppe for Hiller, expenses for cars for Hiller and Goebbels. Then the National Socialists themselves are to blame for the fact that the pension reduction law presented by the RR in the spring has not yet been passed by the RT. Marx provides for impoverished relatives.2 p., copy of Masch.-Schreiben, without authentication.1931 July 29: Marx presents Blauel at the Gen.-Secretariat des Z his thoughts about large pensions and the Pensionskürzungsgesetz.2 p., copy of Masch.-Schreiben, without authentication.1931 Aug. 12 - Berlin: Reich Finance Minister Dietrich thanks Marx for making a considerable part of his pension payments available to the Reichskasse.
