German term or phrase:Aufbauhypothek
This term appears several times, itemized, in legal documents relating to a dispute over inheritance of a property in the former East Germany. It is one of three types of mortgages (+ Aufbaugrundschuld, Darlehenshypothek )listed, along with the property registration, in the local land registry.
Tom Thumb: 10:18pm Dec 16, 2005: Right. This automatic-priority mortgage was a pre-1989 contrivance of the GDR and not FRG Civil Code - Aufbauhypothek, Rechtsgebiet: Zivilrecht der DDR - § 456 Abs. Die Aufbauhypothek hatte Vorrang bei Tilgung und Eintragung vor allen anderen Hypotheken -
Explanation: I appreciate the support from Henry, but I would actually word it a bit differently (based on my previous suggestion for "Aufbaugrundschuld"). I do agree with Henry, inasmuch as it would be possible to put "(post-war) reconstruction" first. :-)
Again, I see this as pretty much being an "Aufbaukredit," which Romain translates as "credit facility for (post-war) reconstruction."
This particular credit facility is a "Hypothek," which is traditionally translated as "mortgage" (as you already know).
:-)
Re your comments on Aufbauhypothek etc.the various land charges and mortages were effected between 1953 and 1981, so presumably they are strictly Post WW2 reconstruction related
