The day after, the 28. On February 22, Hindenburg signed the “emergency ordinance for the protection of the people and the state”.
This emergency decree suspended the basic rights of the Weimar Constitution.
From that time on, therefore, there was de facto no freedom of expression, no freedom of press, assembly and association, no secrecy of correspondence, as well as postal secrecy and secrecy of telecommunications.
The people had no right to property and to the Inviolability of the apartment.
