Abstract
The paper presented at the conference COOPERATIVES, ITS ELITES AND POLITICS IN CENTRAL EUROPE IN THE SECOND HALF OF THE NINETEENTH AND FIRST HALF OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY focuses on the Deutsche Bodenverkehrgenossenschaft. This cooperative was one of the many cooperatives striving to 'defend the German possession in the interwar Czechoslovakia, but in the years of occupation it became an important link in the machinery of the managed economy and played a significant role in the context of the care and security of state-owned or state-controlled farms.
The field of action lay essentially at the intersection of the two main lines of Nazi agricultural policy in the Protectorate - agricultural/nutrition policy and land/settlement policy.
