Footnote: The municipal arbitration in Germany during the Third Reich served to settle less significant/serious criminal and civil matters. These bureaus concerned themselves with general arbitration and acted to serve justice in criminal matters and to “restore quality” in civil matters. The Councillor is referred to as the magistrate or arbitrator in Germany.
