The Liquidation of the German Länder

Roger H. Wells

American Political Science Review, 1936, vol. 30, issue 2, 350-361

Abstract: The liquidation of the German states (Länder) is now substantially complete. A few traces of old snow from the Weimar winter still remain, but these are rapidly melting away under the sun of National Socialism. The ancient problem of Reichsreform, of Bundesstaat versus Einheitsstaat, has been solved in favor of the unitary, totalitarian Reich. The liquidating process may be studied under three separate, but closely related, topics. These are: the governmental reorganization and subordination of the Länder to the Reich; the unification of German law; and the territorial reform of the Länder.
