After the transfer of the tasks of the Gemeindewaisenrat the Armenamt was renamed to 1 July 1900 in orphan and poor office and to 1 October 1918 in welfare office on 1 April 1883. On 3 July 1914 the local statute concerning the establishment of a youth welfare office was issued. As early as 1923, there were plans to merge the welfare office and the youth welfare office. Initially the name Jugend- und Wohlfahrtsamt was used unofficially. By Magistratsbeschluß of 5 April 1928 the united welfare and youth welfare office received the designation welfare office. Collection history: The collection consists of several provenances due to the above-mentioned office restructuring. Most of the files came through Arch-Zug. 1944/21 into the city archives.

• description: - Preliminary remark - - History of institutions - The Secret Upper Tribunal was formed on 30 November 1782 in the course of the judicial reform of the Grand Chancellor v. Carmer. With extended jurisdiction and as an independent all-Prussian court, it continued the functions of the Higher Appellate Court (1703-1748) [see inventory "GStA PK, I. HA Rep. 97 A Higher Appellate Court"] and the Tribunal as the 4th Senate at the Court of Appeal (1748-1782) [see inventory "GStA PK, I. HA Rep. 97 Court of Appeal"]. This brought to a conclusion a development that had already been prepared in the increasingly autonomous jurisdictional functions and in the constantly growing territorial jurisdiction of the Tribunal. The Court of Justice ruled in the third instance and in the appeal instance and was directly subordinate to the Department of Justice and from 1808 to the Ministry of Justice. - The territorial competence of the Secret Upper Tribunal for all Prussian provinces was restricted only for a short time due to the autonomy claim of the Neumark. The appeal rulings in Neumark affairs were initially drawn up in the name of the Privy Council of State. The territorial expansion of Prussia's territory in the 19th century resulted in the temporary division of the appeal instance into several courts on several occasions. This division of territorial competence was accompanied by important organisational changes. At the beginning of the 19th century, for example, the expansion of tasks made it necessary to delegate the appeal proceedings to higher regional courts with a dispute value of less than 500 talers from 1803 or less than 2000 talers after 1815. Furthermore, since 1815 the Province of Neuvorpommern and the Province of Poznan had their own courts of appeal in the Court of Appeal in Greifswald and in the 2nd Senate of the Higher Court of Appeal in Poznan. An essential restriction of the territorial competence of the upper tribunal meant the secondary order of a Rhenish Court of Appeal and Cassation for the territories of French law since 1819. In order to reduce this fragmentation, the delegation of appeal proceedings to higher regional courts was abolished in 1833 and the appeal senate in Posen was dissolved in 1834. - The jurisdiction of the upper tribunal was considerably restricted by the fact that the appeal in political criminal cases had been transferred to the Privy Judicial Council at the Court of Appeal since the beginning of the trials against the bourgeois-democratic movement. - The revolution of 1848/49 partially enforced the bourgeois demand for state legal unity in Prussia. The Prussian National Assembly included a provision in its draft constitution to unite the supreme courts. The demand continued in the constitutional debate of the two chambers of the Landtag in March 1849 could be enforced against the resistance of the Rhenish jurists, so that the announcement of a uniform court also passed from the imposed to the agreed constitution. This constitutional principle was implemented according to the law of March 1852. Already after the January regulation of 1849 the upper tribunal had been declared the highest instance in cases also from the district of the appellate court Greifswald. On January 1, 1853, the upper tribunal was merged with the Rheinischer Revisions- und Kassationshof (Rhenish Court of Appeal and Cassation), which meant that the Geheimer Justizrat (Privy Judicial Council) was joined by a unified supreme court, whose name was changed from Geheimes Obertribunal to Obertribunal (Privy Upper Tribunal) as a result of the public nature of the court hearings introduced in 1849. Its territorial competence was extended in 1851 to the newly accrued Hohenzollern principalities. - A temporary change in the leadership of the Prussian court organization occurred once again as a result of the 1866 war. Of the annexed areas, only the courts of the city of Frankfurt (Main) were directly assigned to the upper tribunal as an appeal instance. For the provinces Schleswig-Holstein, Hannover, Hessen-Nassau as well as for the duchy Lauenburg and the principalities Waldeck and Pyrmont a new court of appeal was formed in Berlin in 1867. It was united with the Supreme Tribunal in February 1874, and from 1851 the Supreme Tribunal was joined by the Disciplinary Court and the Formally Independent Court for Church Affairs, established in 1873 as a result of the Kulturkampf. The institutional historical development of the Upper Tribunal is characteristic of the efforts to achieve formal legal unity in Prussia, which was documented in its Supreme Court. - The mostly erratic expansion of the task area is also reflected in the inner structure of the upper tribunal. The Court had begun its work in the 18th century with a Senate occupied by a chief president, nine tribunal councils and a protonotarius of the upper tribunal. After 1874 it was divided into eight senates, in which one president, five vice-presidents and 62 supreme tribunal councils were active as judges. This resulted in a subdivision into a Senate for Personal Law, two Senates for Property Law, one Senate for Obligatory Law, two Senates for Civil Law of the Rhineland and the territories annexed in 1866, one Senate for Criminal Matters and one Senate for Disciplinary Investigations against Judicial Officials. The highest body was the plenum, which united all senates. The Upper Tribunal received a considerable increase in personnel when one of the main demands of the Vormärz and the Revolution of 1848/49, namely the publicity of civil and criminal proceedings, was enforced. In 1852, a Prosecutor General's Office was formed as an independent structural part of the Upper Tribunal, consisting of one Prosecutor General and three Prosecutors General. In addition, there were the lawyers admitted to the upper tribunal, whose number rose to 19 after the takeover of the so-called Public Ministry of the Rhineland Court of Appeal and Cassation. Since 1856 there has also been an honorary council of lawyers at the upper tribunal, which was renewed every two years. An administrative office of the Upper Tribunal had been available since the 1930s and was eventually staffed by 15 officials. - The Upper Tribunal was personally connected to the Higher Censorship Court constituted in 1843, three of whose members belonged to the Upper Tribunal. The chief presidents of the upper tribunal, mostly former ministers of justice, were directly responsible to the king until 1857 and were subordinated to the minister of justice. Members of the upper tribunal included such important bourgeois jurists as Carl Gottlieb Suarez and Dr. Friedrich Wilhelm Ferdinand Bornemann. - The competence of the upper tribunal was comprehensive for the area of civil law. It extended to appeals and nullity appeals in civil trials, even when they concerned military personnel. It covered the following subjects: Personal law, professional and ethical law, rights and duties of companies, corporations, municipalities, schools and institutions for the poor, leasehold and tenancy matters, land, domains, regalia, jurisdiction, obligations, commercial and property matters. In criminal proceedings, on the other hand, only appeals for annulment belonged before the Supreme Tribunal in third instance. As stated above, the Supreme Tribunal was not responsible for political criminal cases. Additional areas of responsibility of the upper tribunal were conflicts of jurisdiction between courts of appeal and lower courts, complaints against court orders in procedural matters and disciplinary matters of all judicial officials, including military judges. In addition, on the basis of special treaties, the Obertribunal acted as supreme court for some German states, namely for the principalities Waldeck and Pyrmont in criminal cases and for the Duchy of Anhalt-Bernburg in criminal cases and disciplinary cases of the judges. Finally, the Obertribunal was also elected several times as Austrägalgericht for the decision of disputes between German princes. - The plenum of the Supreme Tribunal heard decisions of a Senate which deviated from a principle of law or a statutory provision, as well as all legislative matters, important disciplinary inquiries and judgments of general interest. Influence on contemporary jurisprudence was exerted by the publication of about 500 important decisions from the years 1836 to 1879 in a state publication series. - After the foundation of the North German Confederation and the German Reich, jurisdictional powers were increasingly transferred to the Reich. Initially, the last instance in commercial and bill of exchange matters was transferred to the Bundesoberhandelsgericht, the later Reichsoberhandelsgericht, founded in August 1870 in Leipzig. In the context of the Reichsjustizreform the national liberals with support of the Prussian Minister of Justice Leonhardt enforced the court constitution law from January 1877 against the Bavarian separatism. The Reichsgericht (Imperial Court) ordered in this law commenced its activities in Leipzig on 1 October 1879. At the same time the Prussian upper tribunal was abolished, 25 of its employees were appointed to the Reichsgericht, while 19 judges were retired. - Presidents of the upper tribunal: - 1782 - 1784 Münchhausen, Ernst Ferdinand Freiherr v. - 1784, 1788 - 1802 Reck, Eberhard Friedrich Rudolph Ludwig Freiherr v. d. - 1785 - 1788 Doernberg, Wolfgang Ferdinand v. - 1802 - 1805 Könen, Johann v.

(since 1871) - - - - - - History and Inventory - After the dissolution of the Upper Tribunal in 1879, the organisational and administrative files were initially handed over to the Court of Appeal, the trial files to the Prussian Ministry of Justice. It is likely that the majority of the case files were collected by the Court of Appeal after 1880. The transfer of files from the Upper Tribunal to the Secret State Archives took place in 1880, 1911 and 1927, so that in 1928 the archiving of the only incompletely preserved holdings was largely completed. From 1932 to 1939, the order was mainly based on fundamental judgments and organizational acts. A motive report from 1939 on the archival evaluation of the files can be found in the file "I. HA Rep. 178 Generaldirektion der Staatsarchive, Nr. 604". The preserved files on proceedings in third instance until 1786 were simultaneously made available for use by old administrative repertories. The tradition of the Upper Tribunal, together with that of the old Higher Appeal Court and that of the Tribunal (4th Senate) at the Court of Appeal, formed the combined holdings of Rep. 97a. - After the Second World War, the holdings were transferred to the Central State Archives of the GDR in Merseburg without any losses during the war, where they were initially restored to their old signatures. For the lost find book a new one was made. In 1973 a new inventory was established, which was based on the decisive organisational caesura of 1782 with the foundation of the independent upper tribunal. The holdings of the old Higher Appeal Court and the Tribunal of the Court of Appeal from 1703 to 1782 [now: "GStA PK, I. HA Rep. 97 A Oberappellationsgericht] were separated from the holdings of the Upper Tribunal from 1782 to 1879. The upper tribunal was subsequently restructured and listed anew. At the beginning of the nineties he was transferred to the care of the Geheimes Staatsarchiv PK zu Berlin and transferred there in 1993. - Scope of stock: 1093 file units (20 linear meters), 1704-1910 - - The files are to be ordered as: - I.

Administrative history/biographical information: Details from the Findbuch, compiled in 1961 by Archivdirektor Kossack (corrected and edited version): Der Universitäts-Kurator in Berlin - Behörden- und Bestandsgeschichtlicher Rückblick (The University Curator in Berlin - Review of Authorities and Inventory History) Heinz Kossack compiled a review of the history of authorities of the office of curator at the University of Berlin from the time the university was founded until 1945 in 1960. The order and distortion of this inventory made it necessary to give such a retrospective so that all those who use it would be aware of its importance and significance for the history of the university. The relationship between university and state, which was controversial among scientists and scholars, especially in the time of the feudal-absolutist state, confronts us in one way or another in this inventory when reviewing the archives. The state authority, be it in the form of the absolute or constitutional monarchy, the republic or the National Socialist dictatorship, enforces its demands against the university through a representative "on the spot" and controls the implementation of the given instructions and directives. This commissioner is the curator, although it should be noted that in Berlin the Ministry for Spiritual, Teaching and Medical Affairs carried out the most important curatorial tasks itself until 1923. Therefore the existence begins only with the employment of the extraordinary government plenipotentiary in the year 1819. Authority history I. The curator up to the appointment of the a. o. government plenipotentiary 1810-1819 By the regulation because of improved mechanism of the provincial authorities from 30 April 1815 (Pr. GS. 1815, S. 85ff) § 16 it was decreed that each chief president should be as "constant Commissarius curator of the university, which is in the province entrusted to him". The term "curator" appears in this ordinance, although the university's statutes of 1816 do not know it. The tasks of this curator were specified in the decree of 26 December 1808 (Pr. GS. p. 467ff) in § 10 (3) concerning the improved establishment of provincial, police and financial authorities (Pr. GS. p. 467ff) as follows: "the internal establishment of the universities the economic curate the appointment and employment of teachers of the university". For the University of Berlin, however, the Ministry of Spiritual, Teaching and Medical Affairs, formed by the Allerhöchste Kabinetts-Order of 3 November 1817 from the former Department of Cult and Public Education of the Ministry of the Interior, had reserved the performance of the so-called curatorial affairs for itself. Therefore, nothing is known about this period of the curator's activity at the University of Berlin. TWO. The Extraordinary Government Plenipotentiary 1819-1848 The Instruction for the Extraordinary Government Plenipotentiaries at the Universities of 18 November 1819 (Pr. GS. 1819, p. 233ff), issued by King Frederick William III of Prussia with the countersignature of the State Chancellor of Hardenberg in the execution of the Karlovy Vary resolutions for Prussia, initiated the blackest period in the history of the university on the one hand, but on the other hand it created clearer conditions in the history of the authorities. This instruction, which made the Government Plenipotentiary's task of lace-making both against the university teachers and against the students, transferred in Section IV that § 16 of the Decree was repealed because of improved establishment of the Provincial Authorities of 30 April 1815, according to which each Chief President was to be the curator of the university in the province entrusted to him. The powers of the trustees should be transferred to the government officials. However, in order not to eliminate the chief presidents completely, it was ordered that they should support the government plenipotentiaries by all means. Section V pointed out that the Government Plenipotentiaries are in the same position as the Trustees and clearly specified the tasks of the Government Plenipotentiaries: 1. they are to be regarded as deputies of the Ministry, as are the Trustees. Therefore, their orders must be executed by the academic authorities and all reports, including those of the directors of institutes and collections, must go through their hands. 2. are directly subordinated to the Ministry of Spiritual, Educational and Medical Affairs and report only to it. They also receive their orders and resolutions only from the ministry. 3. You will receive the necessary service personnel. If necessary, all "subalterns" of the universities should be made available to them. However, a special reservation was made at the University of Berlin, in that the instruction of 18 November 1819 ordered that it was reserved for the Ministry to carry out the curatorial duties directly, but to transfer them to the government representative to such an extent that he could act in the best interests of the university. By decree of the Minister of 20 November 1819, the University was informed that the Geh. Oberregierungsrat Schultz had been appointed Government Plenipotentiary. However, the following restriction has been made: "Since the Instruction for the Government Plenipotentiaries reserves to the Minister the right to delegate to him part of the business of the Board of Trustees of the Royal University within himself, the Privy Council of the Supreme Government Schultz has been provisionally instructed in general to establish a personal relationship with the University, its staff and its institutes and facilities, to maintain itself in continuous and ongoing knowledge thereof, to investigate the shortcomings and needs of the University in all its branches and to bring them to the attention of the Ministerio together with appropriate proposals for their secondment, to see for itself that the orders made or approved by the Ministerio, whatever part of the university institutions or the institutes and collections belonging thereto they also concern, are promptly and fully implemented, and to report to the Ministerio on their implementation." Schultz ran the business until May 1824, when he was succeeded under the same circumstances by the Beckedorff supreme government council. The Cabinet Order of 21 May 1824 regulated in particular the position of the Government Plenipotentiary to the Rector and the sub-officials of the University. Thereafter, the Government Plenipotentiary was the Rector's superior in charge of supervising the Rector's conduct of office. Furthermore, the subordinates of the University were obliged to obey the orders of the Government Plenipotentiary in the matters which he dealt with directly. Because of the matters concerning the Rector and Senate, the Government Plenipotentiary could issue his instructions to the sub-officials by the Rector. Beckedorff retired in June 1827. By ministerial decree of 14 June 1827, it was decreed that the rector and the university judge should now act jointly as deputy government representatives. This regulation existed until 1841. After confirmation by the ministry, the rector was entrusted with the performance of this activity with the university judge. However, by decree of 13 April 1841, this transitional arrangement was repealed and the duties of the Government Plenipotentiary were entrusted to the Director of the Ministry's Education Department, Oberregierungsrat von Ladenberg, with effect from 1 June 1841. After an instruction for v. Ladenberg as temporary curator and extraordinary government representative, it was particularly emphasized because of the tasks of the curator that v. Ladenberg should only perform these tasks to the extent that they were not processed by the ministry. We therefore find this restriction in the corresponding decrees on an ongoing basis. Furthermore, according to this instruction, the rector and the university judge were again deputy government plenipotentiaries, i.e. the government plenipotentiary could delegate his duties to the rector and the university judge in the absence of the rector and the university judge. In April 1848, following the decision of the Federal Assembly, the exceptional legislation of the German Confederation enacted in 1819 was repealed. The Federal Decrees on the use of extraordinary government plenipotentiaries at universities also fell within the scope of this resolution. III The Board of Trustees of the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin 1848-1923 By decree of the Minister for Spiritual, Teaching and Medical Affairs of 18 July 1848, Ladenberg was recalled from office as a government representative and instructed to limit himself to the pure functions of a curator. These functions consisted according to § 10 (3) of the decree of 28 September 1808 (Pr. GS. 1806-1810, p. 467) in: a.) the internal institution; b.) the economic board of trustees; c.) the appointment and employment of teachers because of improved establishment of the provincial, police and financial authorities (Pr. GS. 1806-1810, p. 467). At the same time, the decree stated that the final provisions on university boards of trustees should only be recast after a general reform of universities had been carried out. However, this reform did not take place until 1918. Since von Ladenberg was entrusted with the direction of the Ministry, he appointed the then Rector and Deputy University Judge to administer the duties of the Board of Trustees by decree of 16 November 1848. Since then, the duties of curator have remained with the University of Berlin until 1923, unless they were handled by the ministry itself, with the respective rector and university judge. The official designation was: "Deputy Curators" or "Royal Board of Trustees of the Friedrich Wilhelm University of Berlin". The activities of the Board of Trustees consisted in the processing of: 1. matriculation matters; 2. scholarship matters; 3. administrative matters. To 1.): Here, the Board of Trustees was particularly active in the admission of students in accordance with the ministerial regulations issued for this purpose. Too 2.): Granting support to needy and dignified students, continuing the administration of scholarship foundations and their revision. To 3.): The administrative matters concerned the authorisation to allocate budgetary appropriations up to RM 6000 per year. Furthermore, student statistics had to be prepared for the ministry and other special orders had to be handled by the ministry. At a later stage it seems that the personnel files of professors and other employees have been added. The tasks of this board of trustees were therefore rather limited. Therefore also the file material available from this time is relatively small and little productive. The staffing was carried out in such a way that, in addition to the Government Plenipotentiary, a clerical secretary was active. The latter was named curatorial-secretary after the abolition of the institution of the government plenipotentiary. His tasks were: a.) The keeping of the journal, a file repertory and an index; b.) The preparation of all copies; c.) The stapling and rotating of the files; d.) The preparation of various lists. The report of the curatorial secretary Schleusener of 26 February 1858 shows that the registry at that time contained 335 volumes of files. Furthermore, according to Schleusener's report, 250-260 new things were received each year and 140 letters were issued and "mundiert" (mouthed). This office of curatorial secretary was maintained until 1923. After Daudé, the curatorial secretary had the following duties in 1887: a.) Completion of registration work and management of the journal; b.) Acceptance of applications for enrolment (4 semesters, subsequent enrolment); c.) The registration of the student (4 semesters, subsequent enrolment).) Preparation of expeditions and clean copies of the correspondence of the Board of Trustees; d.) Preparation of expeditions and clean copies concerning the administration of the title "Insgemein" and the support fund; e.) Provision of information to students regarding the admission requirements for their studies. In addition, the curatorial secretary had to work on some tasks in the closer university service, since he obviously could not be fully employed in his own field of work. The distribution of business remained essentially the same until 1923. IV. The administrative director at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin 1923-1936 The statutes of the University of Berlin of 1930, which were issued on the basis of the decision of the Prussian State Ministry of 20 March 1923, provided in § 5, p. 2 an administrative director with the following duties: "The external administration of the institutes, seminars and institutions including the clinics outside the Charité on behalf of the minister. He oversees the university's budget, treasury and accounting." Under Articles 83-84 of the Statutes, the Administrative Director was required to exercise certain powers in the appointment of officials in grades A 7 to A 11. Erich Wende, "Grundlagen des Preußischen Hochschulrechts", p. 59, speaks of the administrative director as the minister's representative in the external affairs of the natural science and humanities institutes and institutions and the clinics outside the Charité. The remaining tasks of the former Board of Trustees have been transferred to the Rector, who is supported by the University Council. There is no doubt that these are mainly the tasks that had to be carried out with enrolment. Compared to the former board of trustees, however, the number of employees has now increased to about 10 (civil servants, employees, clerks). After the fall of communism (loc. cit., p. 53 et seq.), the creation of the office of Administrative Director is the result of a fundamental university reform that had been discussed long before the outbreak of the First World War. The first administrative director at the University of Berlin was the former university judge Geh. Regierungsrat Dr. Wollenberg, who was replaced by Dr. Büchsel in 1925. V. The University Curator in Berlin 1936-1945 The institution of the Administrative Director remained in existence until 1936. With effect from 1 April 1936, by decree of the Reich Minister for Science, Education and Popular Education of 2 April 1936 (W Ib No. 861, Z II), the position of Administrative Director was transformed into that of Curator. The former Administrative Director Dr. Büchsel, who worked as curator until 1944 with minor interruptions, was entrusted with the management of the business. The tasks of the university curator in Berlin, as the official name was, seem to have been very extensive, measured by the number of staff (34 civil servants, employees and typists). There is a business allocation plan which divides the entire administrative area into 7 working groups (see Annex). In order to achieve a settlement of competences between rector and curator, the Minister for Science, Education and Popular Education issued a corresponding draft of a speaker by decree of 9 March 1942 (WA 278/42), the further fate of which could not be established. The draft is based on the assumption that the curator for the area of external operating resources and the stock of equipment and personnel, which only enables teaching and research to be carried out, is the local representative of the Reich Ministry. According to the a.m. draft, the external administration of higher education institutions included the following tasks: 1. the appointment and employment of all university staff outside the teaching staff and scientific officials, but including assistants, and the supervision of these groups of persons; 2. the handling of all civil servants' and remuneration-related matters for all officials belonging to the higher education sector, in this case including university teachers and scientific officials, and the keeping of the personal files of these officials. 3. the swearing in of the civil servants listed under 1. with the exception of the assistants; 4. the management of the budgetary, cash and accounting system; 5. the entire external administration of the institutes, seminars, clinics and other institutions; 6. the management of the building and property administration; 7. the representation of the state university administration vis-à-vis other authorities and the representation of the state and the university in legal transactions and legal disputes before and outside the court. The curator also had the Central Registration Office for Supply Aspirants for the area of the entire scientific administration in the former German Reich, whose activity, however, ended in 1944 as a result of transfer to another office. Furthermore, the respective administrative director or curator was administrative director of the University Hospital and chairman of several examination commissions (e.g. food chemist examination, insurance expert examination). This complex of tasks remained essentially unchanged until 1945. With the collapse of the Nazi state, the activities of the curator's office also ended. This marks the end of a development phase in the administrative history of the university.

Zentral-Vormerkungsstelle Preface: Archive Director Heinz Kossack listed the holdings in 1961 and compiled an extensive finding aid book. The units of distortion already taken over into the archive software some time ago were checked, corrected and supplemented in 2016/17. Some file units (mostly no. XX/1) were probably not assigned to this collection until later - these numbers did not exist in the find book Kossack 1961. Information from the find book Kossack 1961 created (excerpt): The inventory of the university curator was partly scattered according to signatures and partly mixed with other inventories, partly in the magazine, partly in the archivist's workroom. Order and registration work seems never to have been carried out on the inventory. There were no major losses in the portfolio. The entire collection was recorded and arranged by Heinz Kossack in the period from January 1960 to February 1961. The distortion could take place at first only after the Bärschen principle. The order was then established in the holdings of the Government Plenipotentiary according to the old signatures. In the case of the administrative director and curator, the order could be established according to the present file plan (administrative structure principle).

Inventory history: History of the files and the registry: At first it could be established that the registry was structured according to the following system: a) Government Plenipotentiary, from 1819, Board of Trustees from 1848, Administrative Director 1923 to 1928, subject formation according to keywords alphabetically. Hand stapled files were kept. The file number was formed, applying the letter with number. Example: Litt. A. No. 1/ VollII. From this time a file index or repertory could not be found. If a new file was created, the subject was added to the corresponding letter under the following number. It was not possible to determine whether a central registry existed, but it can be assumed. On the basis of a file handover register from 1848, it could be established that the holdings of the government authorised representative have been almost completely preserved. b) Administrative Director 1928 - 1936 In 1928, as a result of the office reform, the use of filing cabinets was switched to in 1928. The previous keyword system was abandoned at the same time. The numbering system was introduced. The reference number, which was now the same as the reference number, consisted of three digits. The structure of the file plan was such that the numerical series I 100 - I 199 fundamental matters: included personnel, insurance, organisational and support matters. The numbers II 200 - II 399 included: Cash and accounting matters, building and property matters, legal and procedural matters, student body matters, examination matters. Numbers III 400 - III 640 include the building budgets, material and personnel matters of the faculties, seminars and institutes. Numbers IV 650 - IV 700 included the construction budget, the material and human resources of the university hospital and the dental institute. The new file number formed in this way was e.g: "VD 126/30" State of development, extent: Ordered and completely listed; extent: approx. 35 running metres
