Jahrestag

January 1st 1947 - Establishment of the Bi-Zone

 

In December 1946, one of the coldest winter breaks out over post-war Germany, which lay in ruins. Traffic almost reaches a complete standstill. Food supplies do not reach their destination, the already great and widespread hunger of the people, the central problem of the post-war period, increases even further. The U.S. in particular, worry that communism could spread further in the economically ailing Germany. They quickly want to put Germany back on its feet economically. On January 1st 1947 the Americans and the British put their occupation zones together, in order to optimize the supply situation. They want to implement at least one requirement of the Potsdam Agreement within their territory; the treatment of Germany as a single economic area. France and the Soviet Union protest against the formation of the so-called bi-zone. France does not enter the Bi-Zone until April 1949, which now more of a Tri – Zone, the structure of the future Federal Republic of Germany.
