The Cuno cabinet, headed by Chancellor Wilhelm Cuno, a political independent, was the seventh democratically elected government of the Weimar Republic. It took office on 22 November 1922 when it replaced the second cabinet of Joseph Wirth, which had resigned after being unable to restructure its coalition following the loss of a key vote in the Reichstag.
Cuno was made chancellor by presidential decree without a vote in the Reichstag. Four of the members of his cabinet were independents with economic experience; the remainder were from centre or centre-right parties. Unlike in previous Weimar cabinets, there was no formal coalition agreement.
The Cuno cabinet's attempts to deal with reparations payments to the Allies of World War I were sidelined when France and Belgium accused Germany of not making the required payments on time and occupied the Ruhr on 11 January 1923. The government printed additional money to pay for its support of the large number of workers and businesses idled by its policy of passive resistance against the occupation. Inflation spiked and increased public discontent over the government's handling of the crisis.
The Cuno cabinet resigned on 12 August 1923 in the face of an almost certain loss in a vote of no confidence. It was replaced the next day by the first cabinet of Gustav Stresemann.
