Following expropriation of all movable Jewish property in the Reich, the Nazi authorities have started seizure of Jewish-owned houses and other immovable property.

The confiscation is carried out under a law authorizing seizure of property of elements hostile to the German State. This law, when issued in May, 1933, stated that it was aimed against the property of Communist organizations.

The German official gazette, Deutscher Reichsanzeiger, publishes a list of confiscated Jewish property under this law. The paper specifies that those listed are Jews adding that some of them are now abroad.
