Bürgerblock-Regierung
political coalition
The German term Bürgerblock-Regierung (in English: bourgeois bloc administration) denotes a government coalition in the German Weimar Republic. It consisted of the German Democratic Party, the Centre Party, the Bavarian People's Party, the German People's Party, and the German National People's Party (or at least most of these parties). On 15 January 1925, the first occurrence of this coalition (led by Hans Luther) came into effect. On 29 January 1927, Wilhelm Marx's cabinet brought the second occurrence of such a combination. In the Federal Republic of Germany, the CDU/CSU and FDP coalitions are sometimes rarely referred to with this term. The usual denotation is "centre-right government" or "bourgeois government" (in German: bürgerliche Regierung) because the SPD is not part of this combination.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Bürgerblock-Regierung” is political coalition. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Bürgerblock-Regierung, political and coalition, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “political coalition” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Vocabulary and entity names are the principal evidence signals here, because they determine the precision of every later search. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 1, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q200846. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1925 and 1927.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
