The Reichsgesetzblatt of 31 March 1933: Law on the Imposition and Execution of the Death Penalty

Law on imposition and enforcement of the death penalty (known colloquially as Lex van der Lubbe) was a German law enacted by the Nazi regime on 29 March 1933, that imposed the death penalty for certain crimes such as arson and high treason, that had formerly meant whole life imprisonment.[1][2] The name derives from the fact that the law formed the legal basis for the imposition of the death penalty on Marinus van der Lubbe, who had been caught in the arson attack on the Reichstag on 28 February 1933.[3]
