“Aryanization” is the Nazi term for the cheap purchase of Jewish firms during the Third Reich with the ultimate goal of eliminating Jews from the German economy. Eleven of the largest such companies in Germany are examined in this dissertation and a noticeable pattern becomes evident. In an atmosphere of anti-Semitism, conservative non-Nazi businessmen approached Germany’s three largest banks to request that they withdraw existing loans from the Hermann Tietz department store chain. Although this study focuses on the large Hermann Tietz and Leonhard Tietz retailers, it presents a new paradigm of Aryanization through analyses of the patterns of acquisition of massive publishing houses, as well as an enormous private bank, brewery, and gun manufacturer. (English)
Nach der Machtübergabe an die NSDAP war die Leonhard Tietz AG dann im Frühjahr 1933 eines der ersten Unternehmen, das „arisiert“ wurde – noch bevor der Begriff der „Arisierung“, der letztlich eine Enteignung meint, überhaupt gängig wurde. Aus Leonhard Tietz wurde Kaufhof. (German)
