The Civil Service Law, 7 April 1933 - the first statutory exemption-against, two years before 1935

[Report #202] **In plain terms:** the law that made it legal to sack officials for being Jewish or politically unreliable. It is the 1935 race laws' older sibling, and the engine did not have it. THE STATUTE: Gesetz zur Wiederherstellung des Berufsbeamtentums, 7 April 1933, Reichsgesetzblatt 1933 I S. 175. From the USHMM's translated excerpt and commentary, read this pass: Article 3 states 'Civil servants who are not of Aryan descent are to be retired.' Article 4 permits dismissal of civil servants whose earlier political activities gave no assurance of 'unconditional support to the national state', with salary continued for three months and three quarters of pension thereafter. The German Historical Museum's chronicle for 7 April records that the government imposed 'ein Berufsverbot fuer juedische und regimekritische Beamte'. THE EXEMPTIONS, AND WHO THEY WERE FOR. At Hindenburg's insistence, people who had entered state service before August 1914, who had served at the front in the First World War, or who had lost a father or son in that war were exempt - and the USHMM attaches that exemption to ARTICLE 1. They were revoked after Hindenburg died in August 1934. The research pass attached them to the racial clause; the encyclopedia attaches them to Article 1, and that difference is carried here rather than smoothed over. THE DENOMINATOR, verbatim: 'Of 6,560 judges, prosecutors, and officials in the Ministry of Justice, 420 were removed' in Prussia - 128 for being Jewish, 100 as politically unreliable, 192 to reduce administrative costs - 'about 6 percent of Prussian justice officials in 1933'. One of the few places in this whole research pass where a percentage arrived with its denominator attached. WHY IT MATTERS STRUCTURALLY. Canon's staatsnotwehr_law_1934 record draws the distinction the engine uses for statutes: 'there the law un-persons a population (exemption-against); here it immunizes the state's own act (exemption-for)', naming nuremberg_laws_1935 as the exemption-against sibling. This 1933 law is the FIRST statutory exemption-against in canon's possession, two years earlier than the pair canon had. The same month, by canon's own existing wiring at nsdap -> eugenics_transatlantic_loop, the party-state enacted the sterilisation law that 'consciously drew on' Laughlin's model. 1933, not 1935, is where the statutory race layer starts. HELD OPEN: the full gazette text was located (gazette scan, Universitaet Bern) but not read line by line for this record; the research pass's characterisation of Article 1 as permitting dismissal 'without legal cause to simplify administration' is consistent with the USHMM's '192 to reduce administrative costs' but is not quoted from the statute here. Held as legal fact; name no holder.
