History

When the German Emissions and clearing bank was closed down on July 20th 1948 it was replaced by the German Federal Reserve which was based in the eastern Soviet occupation zone. It was not until 1957 when the task of printing and distributing notes was handed over to the Bundesbank.

Under new laws passed in 1951 the German Central bank had the sole rights to print notes and to manage the cash transactions of the state budget.

The State Bank of the GDR took over from the German Central bank on January 1 1968.

The Yalta Conference of the Allied victors of the Second World War divided Germany into 4 zones. The Eastern Zone was the part given to the Soviets.  This area included the German states of Saxony and Thuringen as well as large part of the provinces from Brandenburg and Mecklenburg Vorpommern.

The Soviet Zone became the territory of the newly founded German Democratic Republic (GDR) on October 7 1949.
