Abstract
Tenure of the portfolio of the Ministry of Education in the local government of Thuringia in 1930 gave the National Socialists their first and only opportunity to exercise some direct control over German musical life during the Weimar Republic. This control was necessarily limited, in that the Nazis shared power in a coalition with other Right-wing parties which survived only until the Spring of 1931. Nonetheless, the term of office was sufficient for the Nazis to instigate a programme of censorship of musical life in the province which was to have considerable impact and influence over cultural activities throughout Germany in the coming years. It also offered an unequivocal portent of the kind of policy that might be initiated once the Nazis were in control of national government.KeywordsParty OrganisationMusic ProfessionCultural AffairWeimar RepublicMusic FestivalThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
