Overview
- Description
- Records from the Österreichisches Staatsarchiv (Austrian State Archives) located in Vienna, Austria, pertaining to the Stillhaltekommissar, department IV of the Reichskommissar für die Wiedervereingung Österreichs mit dem Deutschen Reich. The responsibilities of Reichskommissar Albert Hoffman, who was appointed after the annexation of Austria to Nazi Germany by Gauleiter Bürckel, were defined by the law dated May 17, 1938 regarding the “Überleitung und Eingliederung von Vereinen, Organisationen und Verbänden” (GBl. für Österreich Nr.136/1938), i.e. the transfer and incorporation of clubs, organizations, and associations. These records pertain to the disbanding and liquidation of Jewish as well as non-Jewish organizations and associations by the Stillhaltekommissar. The activities of the Stillhaltekommissar ceased on December 1, 1939 due to the cancellation of the law dated May 17, 1938. However, the still open cases were liquidated until the end of the war by the so-called “liquidators” (“Abwickler”) and the “Aufbau”-Vermögensverwaltungsgesellschaft. The collection was reproduced in its entirety.
