The Holy Roman Empire is considered to be the first German empire. When the 30 some-odd Germany states were unified by Prussia in 1871, the country that was created is considered the second German Empire.

What is deutsches Reich?

The term Deutsches Reich translates as German Empire and refers to the German state from 1871 to 1945. In 1871, following the Franco-Prussian War, the German states, under the leadership of the most powerful state, Prussia, proclaimed the (second) German Empire with the King of Prussia to also be the Kaiser (Caesar/Emperor) of Germany. This state of affairs existed until 1918 when Germany sued for peace at the end of the First World War. Following a time of revolution, the German nation became a Republic, however the Republican nation maintained the title 'Deutsches Reich' as its formal name. The Republic came to a practical end in 1933 following a legal move by Hitler. The old Reich of the Kaisers (Kaiserreich) was to be resurrected from the 'corpse' of the old Republic. This was to be the Third Reich. Deutsches Reich was to be the legal name of the Nazi state until 1943. In that year, the Nazi Government 'legalised' their seizure of land from conquered neighbours and renamed their nation Grossdeutsches Reich, the Greater German Empire. Deutsches Reich was the name of the nation and didn't appear on the banknotes of the German nation from 1871-1945. 'Reichsbanknote' will appear instead, the symbols of the state and the year will indicate which government printed the note.German Stamps and Coins struck or printed from 1871 to 1945 (1943) displayed 'Deutsches Reich'.

What does Reichspfennig mean in German to English translation?

I understand how difficult it is to encipher the old German script."German third kingdoms penny" is the literal translation.The German third Reich (kingdom) was the time that Adolf Hitler was the Nazi dictatorwhich was from 1933 to 1945.================================================================Reich = empire/realmKönigreich = kingdomThere were in effect three German empires. The first was founded in the 10th Century and became known as das Heilige Römische Reich Deutscher Nation (the Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation). It was disbanded in 1806 following its defeat by Napoleonic France.The second German Empire, known simply as Deutsches Reich (the German Empire) was proclaimed from the Mirror Hall at Versailles following the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-71. It was disbanded in 1918 with the abdication of Kaiser Wilhelm II. The resulting German state maintained the nameDeutsches Reich but was actually a republic and was known as the Weimarer Republik (Weimar Republic).The third German Empire refers to Germany after 1933 after Hitler became German Chancellor and abandonned the values of the Weimar Republic. From 1933 to 1943 its name was Deutsches Reich and from 1943 to 1945 it was called Großdeutsches Reich (the greater German Empire). The term das dritte Reich was never an official term during the Nazi dictatorship and therefore no coin was ever inscribed as such. Despite the name change, all German coins were inscribed Deutsches Reich between 1871 and 1945.The etymology of Pfennig is similar to that of penny but remains untranslated when it is used in English texts. The German currency at the time of issue was Reichspfennig and Reichsmark.


When did they stop concentration camps and how?

The concentration camps were an invention of the Third Reich as a place to send anyone who they considered inferior or dangerous to the Reich. Once Germany was defeated, the concentration camp system came to an end. The few survivors went to resettlement camps, and eventually picked up the threads of their lives from there.
