The von Schleicher cabinet, headed by Chancellor Kurt von Schleicher, was the 20th government of the Weimar Republic. Schleicher assumed office on 3 December 1932 after he had pressured his predecessor, Franz von Papen, to resign. Most of his cabinet's members were holdovers from the Papen cabinet and included many right-wing independents along with two members of the nationalist German National People's Party (DNVP).
Schleicher, a Reichswehr general who retired from active service shortly before he became chancellor, hoped that he could weaken the Nazi Party by splitting it and bringing some of its members into his government, but his attempts to work with them failed. During his short time in office, he instituted a program of public works that helped lower the number of unemployed. He also worked internationally to free Germany from the arms limitations imposed after World War I.
In January 1933, von Papen and Adolf Hitler began to work together to oust Schleicher. When German President Paul von Hindenburg refused to order the state of emergency that Schleicher wanted to save his government, it left him no choice but to resign. The cabinet of Adolf Hitler followed two days later, on 30 January 1933.
