On December 19th, 1942 purchase by the Museum Regensburg from the tax office Regensburg as part of the so-called "Aktion 3".
At the beginning of November 1941, the Reich Ministry of Finance issued instructions under the cover name "Aktion 3" for the administration and utilization by the tax authorities of the assets left behind by the Jewish deportees. On November 25th, 1941, a legal basis was created with the "11. Verordnung zum Reichsbürgergesetz", which considerably accelerated the expropriation procedure. The property collapse now occurred automatically when a German Jew crossed the frontier and took permanent residence abroad. The confiscation of assets and their realisation took place in close cooperation between tax officials and the Gestapo and with the participation of municipal administrations, bailiffs, bank employees and auctioneers.
Note in the inventory book: "Im Dezember 1942 […] vom Finanzamt Regensburg aus ‚Aktion III‘ (Judenaktion) um RM 7.–". Previous provenance unknown.
Following extensive research, during which no previous legal owner/heir could be identified, the property was transferred/gifted to the Jewish community in Regensburg under reserve.
