The 1926 "Law for the Fight Against Gypsies, Vagrants and the Workshy" was enforced in Bavaria, becoming the national norm by 1929. It stipulated that groups identifying as 'Gypsies' avoid all travel to the region. Those already living in the area were to "be kept under control so that there no longer anything to fear from them with regard to safety in the land." They were forbidden from "roam[ing about or camp in bands," and those "unable to prove regular employment" risked being sent to forced labor for up to two years.
