Abstract

After the German banking system’s collapse on July 13th 1931 the German government was faced with the problem of reorganizing and reconstructing the financial system. The first measures taken concentrated on the Reichs-Kredit-Gesellschaft, a state owned great bank, which played a prominent role in stabilizing the Dresdner Bank and some smaller regional banks. This article examines the different steps involved in restoring the Dresdner Bank’s liquidity, in granting it credit and in completely reconstructing it under German government control. Further, it analyses these steps for some smaller regional banks as well.
