The German Reich (German: Deutsches Reich) from 9 November 1918 to 23 March 1933, commonly known as the Weimar Republic (German: Weimarer Republik), was a federal semi-presidential republic, with rule by decree beginning on 29 March 1930.
With the Enabling Act being enacted on 23 March 1933, giving the Chancellor, Adolf Hitler, the authority to create and enforce laws without the consent of the legislature or the President, the Weimar Republic was effectively dissolved.[1]
Name
The name of the country remained unchanged from the imperial era, due to various factions vying for power being unable to decide upon a name, however the official name was rarely used.[2]
The Social Democratic Party of Germany (SDP) favoured the term "Deutsche Republik" (German Republic), with this becoming the most commonly used term for the country.[2]
The Centre Party (Zentrum) preferred "Deutscher Volksstaat" (German People's State).[2]
The terms "Republik von Weimar" (Republic of Weimar) and "Weimarer Republik" (Weimar Republic) were first coined by Adolf Hitler in early 1929.[2]
