Reichsbank

The Reichsbank was Germany’s central bank from 1876 to 1948, responsible for managing the country’s money supply, issuing currency, and maintaining financial stability. It played a key role in controlling inflation and economic policy, especially during turbulent periods like the World Wars and the Great Depression. As the main institution overseeing monetary matters, it influenced economic health, loan policies, and currency value. After World War II, it was replaced by new banking authorities as Germany restructured its financial system.
