Bürgerblock-Regierung

The German term Bürgerblock-Regierung (in English: bourgeois bloc administration) denotes a government coalition in the German Weimar Republic.[1] It consisted of the German Democratic Party, the Centre Party, the Bavarian People's Party, the German People's Party, and the German National People's Party (or at least most of these parties).[2] On 15 January 1925, the first occurrence of this coalition (led by Hans Luther) came into effect. On 29 January 1927, Wilhelm Marx's cabinet brought the second occurrence of such a combination. In the Federal Republic of Germany, the CDU/CSU and FDP coalitions are sometimes rarely referred to with this term. The usual denotation is "centre-right government" or "bourgeois government" (in German: bürgerliche Regierung) because the SPD is not part of this combination.
