The German term Bürgerblock-Regierung (English: bourgeois bloc administration) denotes a government coalition in the German Weimar Republic.[1] It consisted of the German Democratic Party, Zentrum, the Bavarian People's Party, the German People's Party and the German National People's Party (or at least most of these parties).[clarification needed][2]
On 15. January 1925 the first occurrence of this coalition (led by Hans Luther) came into effect. On 29. January 1927 Wilhelm Marx's cabinet brought the second occurrence of such a combination.
In the Federal Republic of Germany CDU/CSU/FDP coalitions are sometimes (rarely) referred to with this term. The usual denotation today is "centre-right government" or “bourgeois government” (in German "bürgerliche Regierung"), because the SPD is not part of this combination.
