June 1932

Center Party politician Franz von Papen becomes head of the new government. Since the Centre Party refuses to tolerate the new “cabinet of national concentration”, Papen announces the day before that he is withdrawing from the party. On the day that the government members are announced, the “Vorwärts” paper labels the new government “the cabinet of barons”. The nobility did in fact have a heavily over-proportional share of representatives with one count, four barons and two members of the lower nobility compared to just three representatives of the bourgeoisie.
