history: Reichswirtschaftministerium (Berlin)-the Reich Ministry of Economics was converted in 1919 into Ministry. In 1934 the ministry subsumed the Prussian Ministry of Economics. Besides purely economic, legal, and financial issues, the ministry was responsible for restricting the civil and property rights of Jews, and expelling them from Germany and German occupied territories. The German Ministry of Economics was headed by Dr. Kurt Schmitt (1933-1935), Hjalmer G. Schacht (1935-1937), Herman Goring (1937-19380. And by Walther Funk (1938-1945). In 1942, by arrangement with Himmler, Funk made Reichsbank vault available for storing valuables taken form the Jewish population and brought from Prisons and camps. The Reich Ministry of Economics ceased activities in 1945 with the defeat of Nazi Germany.
