Law/Patents - Government / Politics / real estate
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.

mortgage for (post-war) reconstruction
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).

FYI Regarding tom's question,Dear Tom,

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

agree  Adrian MM. (X): reconstruction mortgage - is it necessarily post-WWII or post-Wende?

  -> Thank you, Tom. That is a good question - I think this is referring to post-WWII reconstruction, but I'll look into it. :-)
