Amt Rosenberg (ARo, Rosenberg Office) was an official body forcultural policy andsurveillance within theNazi party, headed byAlfred Rosenberg. It was established in 1934 under the name ofDienststelle Rosenberg (DRbg, Rosenberg Department), with offices at Margarethenstraße 17 in Berlin, to the west ofPotsdamer Platz.Due to the long official name of Rosenberg's function,Beauftragter des Führers für die gesamte geistige und weltanschauliche Erziehung der NSDAP ("Führer's representative for the entire intellectual and ideological education of the Nazi Party"), the short descriptionReichsüberwachungsamt "Reich surveillance office" was used alongside,[1] also shortened simply toÜberwachungsamt "surveillance office".
In post-World War II historiography, "Amt Rosenberg" is also used in a wider sense as a term for a number of official functions of Rosenberg which he held between 1928 and 1945.[2] These included theAußenpolitisches Amt der NSDAP (APA "NSDAP Office of Foreign Affairs", including theNordische Gesellschaft ("Nordic League")),Kampfbund für deutsche Kultur (KfdK "Militant League for German Culture"),NS-Kulturgemeinde ("NS-Cultural Community") (including theKraft durch Freude ("Strength Through Joy") andDeutsche Bühne ("German Stage") theatres),Hohe Schule der NSDAP ("Advanced School of the NSDAP") andEinsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg (ERR "Reichsleiter Rosenberg Taskforce"), an organisation devoted to acquiring and stealing art objects across the occupied territories of the Reich.[2] Not included in the term as used by Bollmus (2007) is theReichsministerium für die besetzten Ostgebiete (RMfdbO "Reich Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories"), because it was a government office, not a party office.[2]
