The Reichskommissar für die Festigung deutschen Volkstums Berlin-Halensee, 9.l0.41 E 2/5 ~ 9.10.41 ~ We/Zi. Kurfürstendamm i42/43 Service Order No. 78 Subject: East allowance. From the questions I have repeatedly received concerning the competence to pay an East allowance (Aufbauzulagc) I have denied that this matter has not been carried out uniformly. I am therefore obliged to announce again the provisions issued by the Minister of Finance in this regard: As you know, the Reich:kommissar is a Reichsstelle within the meaning of the Law on the Order of National Work of the 20th January 1993 (RGBl. p. 45). As a result, the decrees and provisions issued by the ministries of industry are to be applied to my department.The provisions on the granting of an East and/or Aufbauzulage are announced by the Reichsbohnungs- und Bearbeitungsbiatt of 29.l0.l940. After this, the building allowance is granted to the married employees who are used by the authorities and services of the Reich in the neighbouring eastern regions, with the exception of the area of the Free City of Gdansk. However, the payment of this allowance is subject to the condition that, in addition to the eastern allowance, no employment allowance, command or separation allowance may be paid. This means that a commanding or seconded employee, the reason for his separate budget management, command allowance, etc. In addition, he may not again benefit from an East or Aufbauzulage, unless he has already moved his residence to the integrated East Regions and is now seconded from his actual place of residence to another place of employment in the East Regions. I would like to point out once again that only provisional provisions may be applied to my department. The order of 9.5. I940 announced by the Reichss Treasurer on payment of an east allowance for party services. does not apply for the services of the Reich Commissioner. Commissioned by: CO a - Hauptsturmführer.
