Reich Ministry of Justice

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Reich Ministry of Justice (German: Reichsministerium der Justiz) was a Ministry of Germany during the Weimar Republic and subsequently the Nazi period. It was the successor of the Reichsjustizamt. It was abolished in 1945, when the Allied forces took over the administration of Germany at the end of World War II. In 1949, its former functions were taken over by the Federal Ministry of Justice (German: Bundesministerium der Justiz) of the Federal Republic of Germany.
