Article 134<br />
[Succession to Reich assets]<br />
(1) Reich assets shall, in principle, become federal assets.<br />
(2) Insofar as such assets were originally intended to be used<br />
principally for administrative tasks not entrusted to the<br />
Federation under this Basic Law, they shall be transferred<br />
without compensation to the authorities now entrusted<br />
with such tasks and to the extent that such assets are now<br />
being used, not merely temporarily, for administrative tasks<br />
that under this Basic Law are now performed by the Länder,<br />
they shall be transferred to the Länder. The Federation may<br />
also transfer other assets to the Länder.<br />
(3) Assets that were placed at the disposal of the Reich without<br />
compensation by Länder or municipalities (associations of<br />
municipalities) shall revert to those Länder or municipalities<br />
(associations of municipalities) insofar as the Federation<br />
does not require them for its own administrative purposes.<br />
(4) Details shall be regulated by a federal law requiring the<br />
consent of the Bundesrat.<br />
Article 135<br />
[Assets in case of territorial changes between the Länder]<br />
(1) If after 8 May 1945 and before the effective date of this Basic<br />
Law an area has passed from one Land to another, the<br />
Land to which the area now belongs shall be entitled to the<br />
assets of the Land to which it previously belonged that are<br />
located in that area.<br />
(2) The assets of Länder or other public-law corporations or institutions<br />
that no longer exist, insofar as they were originally<br />
intended to be used principally for administrative tasks<br />
or are now being so used, not merely temporarily, shall<br />
pass to the Land, corporation or institution that now performs<br />
those tasks.<br />
(3) Real property of Länder that no longer exist, including appurtenances,<br />
shall pass to the Land within which it is located,<br />
insofar as it is not among the assets already referred to<br />
in paragraph (1) of this Article.<br />
