Letter from Georg Bredig to Max Bredig, February 24, 1937
- 1937-Feb-24
In notes to each other, Georg Bredig (1868-1944) and Max Bredig (1902-1944) attempt to ascertain the amount of money that would be owed for the Reich Flight Tax if Marianne Homburger (nee Bredig) or Max Bredig would emigrate from Germany. The Reich Flight Tax was originally introduced in 1931 to prevent the flow of capital from the Weimar Republic. The Third Reich misused the law to disenfranchise and divest emigrating Jews of their financial assets.

Auskunft von Dr. R. am 24 Febr. 1937:
Wenn Marianne (Max) bei Auswanderung dem Haushalt ihres Vaters angehört, wird betr. Reichsfluchtsteuer dessen Vermögen zu dem ihren hinzugezählt! Übertrifft diese Summe dann 50 000 R.M. (u. hat der Vater 1931 (?) ein Einkommen über 20 000 R.M. gehabt?), so muss Reichsfluchtsteuer (ev. bis ¼ der Summer?) gezahlt werden!
Marianne hatte zwar dem „Haushalt“ in Klrh. nicht angehört, war aber in Karlsruhe polizeilich angemeldet, während sie zwecks Ausbildung in Berlin lebte.
1937:
Georg 25 099 [hiervon ca 4/7 14284 / 3/7 10700]
Max-Alb. 29 500
Marianne 32 129 [seit Mai 1934]
[Max Bredig’s hand]
Wie, wenn ich nur „Niessbrauch“ behielte?
Marianne war 1936/37 in Berlin Charlottenburg angemeldet, aber 10 Okt. 1936 in Haushaultliste vom Vater in Karlsruhe „als vorübergehend zu Ausbildungszwecksabweisend“ eingetragen!
Information from Dr. R on February 24, 1937:
With regards to the Reich Flight Tax, if Marianne (and Max) belongs to her father's household when she emigrates, her wealth will be added to his! If this sum then exceeds 50, 000 Reichsmarks (did the father have an income of more than 20,000 Reichsmarks in 1931?), then the Reich Flight Tax must be paid (possibly up to ¼ of the sum?)!
Marianne was not a member of the “household” in Karlsruhe, but was registered with the police in Karlsruhe while she lived in Berlin for the purpose of training.
1937:
Georg: 25, 099 [there of approximately 14, 284 on July 4 and 10, 700 on July 3]
Max-Albert: 29, 500
Marianne: 32, 129 [since May 1934]
[Max Bredig’s hand]
How, if I would only keep “life tenancy”?
Marianne was registered in Berlin-Charlottenburg in 1936/37, but on October 10, 1936, she was listed on Father’s household register in Karlsruhe as “temporarily absent for training purposes”!
