Scope and content
History of the Inventor: The remaining administration for Reich tasks was established on October 1, 1923 at the initiative of the Reich Savings Commissioner because of the fragmentation of the tasks resulting from the Treaty of Versailles and was directly subordinated to the Reich Ministry of Finance. It had to summarize and complete the processing work of various imperial administrations arising from the First World War. Within the framework of this competence, it assumed the duties of the following Reich authorities and administrations in 1923-1931: - Commissioner of the Reich Ministry of Finance for Legal Matters from the War (subtasks) - Reich Ministry of Finance, Department IH (R) - Reich Ministry of Treasury, Dissolution Department A - Army Peace Commission - Administrative Commission for Restitution Matters - Civil Administration Processing Office for the Occupied Territories - Processing Office for Prisoners of War - Reich Ministry of Reconstruction (subtasks) - Colonial Central Administration - Reichstreuhand AG, Foreign Department - Reich Compensation Office for War Damage - Reich Equalization Office - Commissioner for Compensation under the German-Polish Liquidation Agreement (Polko) - Ministry of the Interior of the Reich, Civil Administration of Belgium, Poland, Lithuania and the Baltic States. When the RfR was established, the internal structure consisted of two groups with 4 units each. At the time of the largest expansion of the business area around 1930/31, the main tasks were performed by three largely independent departments: Department R - Settlement of claims against the former Army and Navy Administration, the War Office, Colonial Central Administration, Protection Forces, Prisoner of War Affairs, Reich Water Protection Department A - Settlement of monetary liabilities pursuant to Articles 296 and 72 of the Treaty of Versailles (Reich Equalization Office) Department E - Settlement of the compensation proceedings in accordance with the War Damage Acts (Settlement of the Reich Compensation Office) After the dissolution of the RfR on 31 December 2005, Department E - Settlement of claims against the former Army and Navy Administration, the War Office, Colonial Central Administration, Protection Forces, Prisoneregative Matters, Reich Water Protection Department A - Settlement of monetary liabilities pursuant to Articles 296 and 72 of the Treaty of Versailles (Reich Equalization Office) Department E - Settlement of the compensation proceedings in accordance with the War Damage Acts (Settlement of the Reich Equalization Office) After the dissolution of the RfR on 31 December 2005. In March 1933 the tasks were continued until 1945 by a branch office at the Landesfinanzamt (later Oberfinanzpräsident) in Berlin.
