In the post-World War I Weimar Republic (1919-1933), separate courts-martial including the RMG[clarification needed] were abolished by Article 106 of the Weimar Constitution, but were revived by the Nazi government after they seized power during the Machtergreifung, enacting a special law on 12 May 1933. Initially the Reichsgericht in Leipzig, from 1 December 1934 the "People's Court" (Volksgerichtshof) in Berlin, acted as final appellate court, until the Reichskriegsgericht (RKG) was established as high court of the Wehrmacht armed forces by another directive with effect from 1 October 1936. The Reichskriegsgericht was based in the former RMG building on Witzlebenstraße in the Charlottenburg district of Berlin.
