Ruhrbesetzung
Late 1923 was among the most tumultuous times of the Weimar Republic, bringing the peak of hyperinflation and the ongoing Occupation of the Ruhr. One of Emminger's main goals as a politician and lawyer became a revaluation of the currency to partially offset the adverse social consequences of hyperinflation. As a minister he prevented the planned "Aufwertungsverbot" from becoming law and continued to fight for revaluation as a Reichstag delegate.
