Anfang 1933 war die international hochangesehene Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gesellschaft (KWG) bereits eine vergleichsweise altehrwürdige wissenschaftliche Einrichtung. Gegründet wurde sie 1911 als Großorganisation der deutschen Spitzenforschung. Aufgrund exzellenter Arbeitsbedingungen in den Instituten der KWG konnten zahllose Spitzenforscher gewonnen werden; Namen wie Max Planck, Otto Hahn, Lise Meitner, Albert Einstein, Adolf Butenandt, Werner Heisenberg und viele andere sagen genug. Institutionell gegliedert war die KWG in fünf große Säulen.
Labour Policy in Industry
(2008)
From 1933 onwards industrial law was transformed from one which protected employees to one intended to secure the regime’s power over them. In the Third Reich the political and ideological aims of the regime - under the cloak of ‘Volk und Rasse’ (nation and race) - became the guiding principles of a new labour law. Evidence of this can be found in the destruction of trade unions, the arbitrary treatment to which non-conforming employees could be subjected, the integration of employees into the network of National Socialist institutions, the authoritarian wage policy, the rapidly vanishing significance of labour courts and the ascendancy of legal offices of the German Labour Front (Deutsche Arbeitsfront, DAF), which propagated the theory of a racist national community (Volksgemeinschaft).
