!!!Tausend-Mark-Sperre

Tausend-Mark-Sperre (Thousand Mark Ban): Following the expulsion of 
the Bavarian Minister of Justice, H. Frank, from Austria on March 15, 
1933, the Government of the Third Reich passed the Reichsgesetz law of 
June 1, 1933, which was designed to exert economic pressure on 
Austria. Under this law, each German citizen had to pay an amount of 
1000 Reichsmarks before being allowed to travel to Austria. Due 
to the high proportion of German tourists (approx. 40 % of total 
tourists in Austria, as of 1932), the effects on the Austrian economy 
were considerable. The Thousand Mark Ban was lifted in 1936.
