The files listed below were handed over to the Munich State Archives by the Laufen District Office in 1959 (1827 files), 1962 (720 files), 1966 (280 files), 1972 (12 files), 1976 (approx. 40 linear metres) and 1977 (1 file). The indexing was carried out by various editors, among them the assistant archivists of the 1975/1977 course, who, under the direction of Chief Inspector Klaus Fischer, were responsible for the processing of the 1962 and 1976 levies from June to September 1976 as part of the practical training at the Munich State Archives. Since only one summary list was available for the older levy and no list at all for the more recent levy, both levies were combined and completely reworked. The subsequent reorganization into objectively connected groups was generally oriented towards the standard file plan, but also deviated from it when the circumstances made it necessary. The following record groups were not archived, but destroyed: Vaccination lists, subsidies for farmers' drainage work, state audit. In a further work step, the index data of the individual taxes were then summarized in a joint volume of repertories by Chief Archive Inspector Anton Grau at the end of the 1970s. As part of a retroconversion project in 2015, this analogue tape repertory was finally digitised unchanged.

Preliminary remark: Most of the building files listed in this finding aid book were handed over to the State Archives by the District Office Ludwigsburg in the years 1963 to 1976. Smaller subsequent deliveries were made up to 1985. The present collection consists of documents on all municipalities of the Altkreis Ludwigsburg with the exception of the Großer Kreisstadt Kornwestheim. However, only two construction files refer to the large district town of Ludwigsburg. These have apparently been transferred to the State Archives in another context. The holdings mainly contain the years 1939 to 1959. In some municipalities, the tradition ends with the year 1954. The documents on the municipality of Bietigheim even date back only to 1944. On the other hand, the holdings still contain individual building files of the upper office of Besigheim, which was dissolved in 1938, which were continued by the successor authority. The documents relating to the municipality of Marbach relate primarily to submissions and complaints in building matters, but not to building permit procedures. For the period before 1939, reference is made to the inventories F 154 II (Besigheim upper office), F 181 III (Ludwigsburg upper office) and F 182 II (Marbach upper office). Since there can be several years between the submission of the building application and the granting of the building permit or the closing of the file, the duration of the stock actually extends up to the beginning of the seventies. in the title entries the name and the occupation (or the company) of the builder, his place of residence (or his place of business), if this differs from the place of construction, the construction diary no. (or the construction case no.), if applicable the approval date as well as the extent and the duration of the file are indicated. The building project is only mentioned in the Contained Note if it is not the new construction of a residential building. The title entries are first in alphabetical order of location, then sorted by year, whereby the year of the building diary number is decisive for the temporal allocation. Within the individual vintages an alphabetical order according to the names (and/or the companies) of the owners took place. the building files united in the present inventory were registered in the years 1980 to 1983 by the gentlemen Manfred Korreng (Aldingen - Beihingen) and Hans Schürle (Benningen - Erdmannshausen) as well as by Mrs. Anita Hundsdörfer (Erligheim - Winzerhausen). Mr. Alfred Ibrom worked on individual latecomers. The supplements to the municipalities Neckargröningen, Tamm and Walheim as well as Großsachsenheim, Kleinsachsenheim and Unterriexingen were prepared by Eberhard Royek in January 1995. The documents listed in the supplements for the latter three were taken from the FL 20/18 II (Landratsamt Vaihingen). The cataloguing was supervised by Wolfgang Schneider, archivist, Dr. Franz Mögle-Hofacker, State Archives Councillor, Udo Herkert, Archives Inspector, and Udo Schäfer, Archives Councillor. 17748 tufts in 107.5 metres of shelving were included in the holdings FL 20/12 I, the tufts having spring-numbers. The order numbers were assigned in accordance with numerus currens.Ludwigsburg, January 1995Udo Schäfer

The district Bochum was formed in 1817 and in 1884/85, around the counties Gelsenkirchen and Hattingen reduced, it was divided into city and county Bochum. After the district was abolished in 1929, it was assigned to the city districts of Bochum, Witten, Herne and Dortmund. The holdings, which comprised 199 numbers at the time of the new indexing, were transferred to the State Archives in 1888 (116 files). A file was added in 1908. It was not possible to determine where the remaining files came from. By far the largest part of the district registry and the district committee is located in the city archive of Bochum. The serial numbers 153 to 1962 were given to the city of Witten in 1955. Further files of the administrative district are stored in the city archives of Gelsenkirchen and Witten (see old repertory for listings). In the case of the new registration, files 47, 117a, 121a and 128a were found to be missing. The numbers 37 and 96 are not documented. The new distortion was mainly performed by the trainees Dr. Becker, Dr. Fleckenstein, Hoen, Dr. Ostrowitzki, Dr. Prell and Dr. Uhde. Münster, January 1994 H.

Until 1872, clergymen appointed by the government were in charge of state school supervision on the district level. Only after the school supervision law of 1872 were increasingly full-time district school inspectors appointed. A full-time district school inspector was first appointed for the Halle district school inspection in 1909 (cf. file M 1 II B no. 157). Since 1924, school inspectors have been using the official term "Schulrat". As a direct organ of the government, it was responsible not only for public primary and secondary education but also for all other education, including private education, in its own district, insofar as it fell within the jurisdiction of the government. Occasionally, in 1932, the school supervision district Halle with the district Bielefeld-Land was reorganized to the school supervision district Bielefeld II-Halle i. W. (cf. file M 1 II B No. 118). Since the state supervision of schools at district level remained with the school councils even after 1947, their records in the Detmold State Archives are uniformly recorded in the D 7 holdings. This find book lists the files of the former Halle District School Inspectorate which were handed over from the Münster State Archives to here. The individual files date back to the 1890s and usually close in 1932. Judging by the gaps in the individual successive original locatures or old signatures (on file flags), however, this should not be the entire registry. At least - according to an old list of files (now: file D 29 no. 413) - there is a closed registry group. It must be quoted after the order number: D 7 Hall no. ... Detmold, 31 March 1983 signed.

History of the authorities: Until the beginning of the 18th century there were no special forestry offices in Paderborn, neither in the court chamber nor in the individual offices. The forest administration was also carried out by the office pension masters. In 1705 a chief forester was appointed as "wood inspector" for the sovereign forests and it was only in the middle of the 18th century that the local forestry gained a certain independence. The forest administration was now transferred to the official authorities and their subordinates, the forest rangers and forest keepers. In the later Oberförsterei Böddeken existed the service farms Telegraf, Neuböddeken, Gellinghausen and Sprengelborn. As part of the reorganization of the forestry administration in 1817, the Prussian administration set up forest inspections staffed by forest masters as subordinate authorities to the government. Subordinated to these were the chief forest rangers, to whom several protective districts administered by sub forest rangers were subordinated. Until 1803 the areas of the present Böddeken Forestry Office were owned by the Böddeken Monastery and the Paderborn Cathedral Chapter. Area changes were caused by separations and separations, in particular by the Wewelsburg separation. After the first survey and division of the forest district had taken place in 1833/34, the first estimate and the first plant were completed in 1856 after various attempts. The Oberförsterei Böddeken was at that time subject to the Paderborn Forest Inspectorate. Already in 1833 the Sprengelborn forestery, formerly belonging to the Oberförsterei, had been sold. Since 1861, however, it has served as a sub-forestry farm for Eggeringhausen. In 1882 the area of Böddeken consisted of the following protectorates: Telegraf, Altböddeken, Wewelsburg, Neuböddeken, Atteln, Eggeringhausen and Gellinghausen. Around 1900 Atteln was ceded to the new Oberförsterei Dalheim. Parts of Neuböddeken were used to form the Henglarn protectorate, while the remainder continued to exist as the Neuböddeken hunting ground or lower forestery. According to an assessment work of the Oberförsterei (D 6 B Böddeken No. 61), which was established in 1900, the forest district at that time consisted of the forest locations Telegraph, Blindeborn, Kluss, Teufelskammer, Kölnische Mark, Okenthal and Kiefernkamp. In 1947, the Böddeken Forestry Office comprised a forestry master post in Böddeken, a head forester post in Gellinghausen, the Telegraf, Altböddeken, Wewelsburg, Henglarn, Neuböddeken, Eggeringhausen and i. G. district forester posts as well as two employee posts (see D 6 B Minden No. 305). In 1934 the Öberförsterei Böddeken became the state forestry office of the same name. In 1949, the new state of North Rhine-Westphalia incorporated the forestry administration into the district governments, as bureaucratic forestry departments subordinate to the district president. This meant for Böddeken that it was subordinate to the Minden forest department of the Detmold government president. On April 1, 1952, the forester's office, built in 1908 and moved from Wewelsburg to Gellinghausen in 1928, was dissolved. In 1956, the forest departments became departments. From 1 January 1970, the tasks of the higher forestry authorities were transferred from the presidents of the provinces to the directors of the Chamber of Agriculture as state representatives. On 31.12.1971 the forestry office Böddeken was dissolved. The State Forestry Office in Paderborn became the successor authority. Inventory history and indexing: The inventory D 6 B Böddeken initially comprised an access originally handed over to the former State Archives Münster with a duration of 1819 to 1860, which later reached here in connection with the division of responsibilities between the former State Archives Münster and Detmold, the access 42/1967, which has a duration of 1920 to 1955 and was handed over directly from the Forestry Office Böddeken to the State Archives Detmold, as well as some documents from the access 50/1969. The signature scheme of the older files is very complicated (Fach ..., Nr. ..., Kap. ..., Tit. ..., Sect. ..., Lit. ..., lit. ...). In the case of the more recent files, this registration plan was replaced by a considerably simplified one (Dept. ... / Roman number / No. ... / Arab number /). From the middle of the 19th to the middle of the 20th century it is possible to determine an order by title (Tit.), number (No.) and volume (Vol.) for some files. For example, the following titles stood for the following file plan items:Title III: Area and border matters Title X: Forestry and police matters Title XIII: Accounting and registration matters Title XIV: Various items The new order was initially based on a 1871 registration plan for the forestry offices, although the individual subject groups were changed in order to separate the actual forestry and hunting matters from the administration. A subdivision into intermediate and sub-groups was not necessary for the time being due to the small size of the file. For this reason, some of the subject groups remained unoccupied for the time being. The classification of the find book was revised after the more recent file additions 125/2004 (now: D 6 B Böddeken no. 49 to 88), 11/1989 (now: D 6 B Böddeken no. 89-90), 50/1969 (now: D 6 B Böddeken no. 91 to 93 as well as 157 and 158) and 89/2009 (now: D 6 B B Böddeken no. 94 to 156) were listed. There was no cassation of documents - in particular the wood receipts manuals and forest culture plans - as most of the operations of the forestry office obviously remained within the authority. The file D 6 B Böddeken No. 76 contains a so-called "Chronicle of the Oberförsterei", which was kept in the years 1924 to 1974 and goes back to the year 1855 in terms of content. The file D 6 B Altenbeken No. 464 also contains a short history of the former Böddeken forestry office for the years 1820 to 1971. A group picture from 1913, probably taken in the Böddeker forest, a portrait of the head forester R., taken at Whitsun 1900 on the balcony of the Oberförsterei in Neuböddeken. of Eschwege and two portraits of the forestry officers Detmar Hüffer and Wegener from 1890 and May 1927 respectively were added to the collection D 75 (picture collection) under the signature D 75 No. 9096. Further documents of the Oberförsterei Böddeken can be found in the files D 6 C Büren. It is to be quoted after order no.: D 6 B Böddeken Detmold in 1972, 2012 and 2013 signed. Simon and Schumacher

Victoria District Court. - Dissolution of the District Court - Index of files sent to the District Court Duala on 1 July 1910 from the years 1899 - 1910, 1910

Preliminary remark: When in the years 1947/48 the files of the judicial authorities were ordered and recorded by Dr. Alfons Bogenrieder, the stock of the Ludwigsburg District Court comprised only 5 tufts, the present no. Z 297-301, which had been handed over to the State Branch Archive in 1893 via the archive management. However, the files of the Ludwigsburg City Court from 1806-1819 (current no. Z 101-296), which had been handed over to the Ludwigsburg State Archives by the archive keeper of the Ludwigsburg district in August 1942, were also transferred to the Ludwigsburg District Court in the course of the order.The Ludwigsburg City Court (inventory A 372a), which before 1806 was Civil Court I Instance for the City, Civil Appeals Instance and Criminal Court I Instance for the Office of Ludwigsburg, received a changed jurisdiction in the Kingdom (cf. Wintterlin, Behördenorganisation Bd. I p. 56, 202 ff.). According to its structure and constitutional position, however, it differed considerably from the district court of Ludwigsburg, which only came into being as a result of the court organisation laws (IV. Edict on the administration of justice in the lower instances of 31 Dec. 1818). Nevertheless, the files of the City Court were left with the existing holdings, because in this way the continuity of the development after 1806 could still be maintained, on the other hand these files could not be classified in the systematic overview of the holdings.9 Febr. and 7 Oct.1954 two deliveries of the District Court Ludwigsburg to the State Archives were added to the aforementioned files. This necessitated a reworking of the entire collection, which was carried out in 1954/55 by K. Lenth, first under the direction of Oberarchivrat Dr. Grube and then by Staatsarchivrat Dr. Stemmler. The archival files lying at the Ludwigsburg District Court, which were still very extensive despite the fact that they had already been separated, have only been taken over in a selection from the various fields of law. The selection was based on the guidelines drawn up by the State Archives Administration for the Ministry of Justice on file elimination by the judicial authorities (see Die Justiz 1955, p. 123). Some of the cases delivered are incomplete, as some of the files had already been eliminated by the Local Court. The structure of the holdings in the present repertory essentially followed the "Provisions on the Periods for the Retention of Files, Registers and Documents by the Judicial Authorities" of 1953. The holdings of the Ludwigsburg Local Court were the first in a series of deliveries by the Local Courts that began in 1954 to be processed. In order to obtain guidelines from the other district courts also for the indexing and elimination of the files, K. Lenth wrote a field report on his experiences with the indexing and indexing of the present holdings (cf. Kanzleiakten Qu. 262/1955). 572 tufts in 13 linear metres were included in the holdings. Ludwigsburg, April 1955Newspaper: Bd 51-68: Access 1996/63 from the District Court of Ludwigsburg To retroconversion: This finding aid is a repertory which was previously only available in handwritten or typewritten form and which has been converted into a database-supported and therefore online-capable format. This can lead to a certain discrepancy between the modern external appearance and the partly outdated design and formulation of the title recordings.

Administrative history: In order to prevent the misuse of company names and to be able to determine who is entitled to act on behalf of a company, the obligation for merchants to register the legal relationships of their companies with the commercial court in a register accessible to everyone was introduced on 1 January 1836. However, until 1 August 1866, when the relevant provisions of the Introductory Act to the General German Commercial Code entered into force, the obligation existed only for newly established companies and for them only if the company name and the name of the owner were not identical. The possibility of voluntary registration was given. The company protocol initially established for all entries except procurations was later replaced by registers for each legal form. Special registers were added as cooperative registers (from 1869), sign registers (from 1875), design protection registers (from 1876) and stock exchange registers for goods and securities (from 1896). For each register number, a file was kept which contained documents filed in addition to a copy of the register entry. From 1 October 1879 the registers were kept at the regional court, from 1 January 1900 at the district court in Hamburg. The district courts of Bergedorf and Ritzebüttel kept their own registers for their sprinkles. The registers of companies, societies and cooperatives were closed on 31 December 1904, their still valid contents transferred to the commercial registers and a new cooperative register. Preliminary Remark Legal Foundations The "Ordinance of 28.12.1835 (Hamburgische Verordnungen Bd.14, p.307-316) on the Notification to the Commercial Courts of the Establishment, Change and Repeal of Commercial Societies, Commercial Firms, Anonymous Companies and Procurants to be Made in Commercial Courts, which became Popular by the Council and Citizen's Conclusion of 15.October 1835" of 28.12.1835 (Hamburgische Verordnungen Bd.14, p.307-316) introduced in Hamburg for the first time an obligation for merchants to have the legal relationships of their companies entered in a register at the Commercial Court which is accessible to everyone. It entered into force on 1 January 1836. This regulation had come into being on the initiative of Commerzdeputation, which from 1823 constantly tried to persuade the Council to adopt a regulation which prevented the misuse of company names and created an opportunity to establish who was the actual owner of a company and who was entitled to act on its behalf. Initially, however, not all commercial enterprises were required to be entered in the register. Excluded were all already existing companies, however to the common sense of the owners it was appealed to to be registered voluntarily for the promotion of the thing (Publicandum of 28.12.1835, Hamburgische Verordnung Bd.14, S.317). In addition, registration was waived where the name of the trading company was identical to the name of the sole proprietor. Accordingly, the obligation existed only for 1. acting-Societäten (§ 1 of the regulation) 2. the action of the sole owner of a acting firm, which either did not contain its own full name or was not limited to its own name (§ 3 Abs.2) 3. granting of procurations (§ 4-8) 4. anonymous companies (§ 9-10) 5. agents and representatives of foreign insurance and similar companies (§ 11) 6. Hamb. insurance companies and other public limited companies (§ 12). The aforementioned had to report every establishment, change and cancellation of a company and submit all circulars to the Commercial Court - Company and Procurator's Office, partly also called Company Office. With the "Bekanntmachung betr. die Anmeldung im Firmen-Bureau vom 1.2.1844 (Hamburgische Verordnungen Bd.18, S.7)" (Announcement concerning the registration in the firm's office of 1.2.1844, Hamburgische Verordnungen Bd.18, p.7), the obligation arising from the 1835 ordinance was once again made public and in some cases specified in more detail. In 1865, the deposition of trademarks, labels and packaging provided for in Art. 24 of the Hanseatic-French Commercial and Shipping Treaty of 4 March 1865 (published on 30 June 1865, Hamburg Ordinances Vol. 33, pp. 233-234) was transferred to the Office for Business and Procuration. The introduction of the General German Commercial Code by law of 22.12.1865 (Hamburgische Verordnungen Bd.33, p.533-561) brought a substantial extension of the obligation to register in the registers. The Commercial Code and the Introductory Act came into force in Hamburg on 1 May 1966. According to Article 19 of the Commercial Code, every businessman was now obliged to have his company entered in the Commercial Register. Paragraph 6 of the Hamburg Introductory Act also introduced the obligation to register the circle of traders to whom, under Article 10 of the Commercial Code, the rules for merchants were not to apply, such as traders from small businesses, hoekers, carters, ordinary skippers, etc., if they appointed an authorised signatory or if they wished to enter into an open partnership to operate their trade. In contrast to the Regulation of 1835, the transitional provisions (§§ 1-5) of the Introductory Act stipulated that the new provisions were also binding on all existing undertakings. It was imposed on these companies to register within 3 months, so that from 1.8.1866 all commercial enterprises in the Hamburg area, with the exception of Ritzebüttel, would have to be entered in the registers of the Commercial Court. In addition, Article 13 of the Commercial Code provides for the publication of all entries in the registers. So far, since October 1847 only the applications provided for in §§ 1 and 3 (2) of the Regulation of 1835 had apparently been published on the basis of an order of the Commercial Court. - In detail and on the other extensions and changes in the tasks of the company office under the Commercial Code see: The Commission reports and further negotiations on the introduction of the General German Commercial Code in Hamburg, p.3-5 (Library A 913/9). The special protocol for cooperatives to be established in accordance with the Genossenschaftsgesetz (Cooperatives Act) was also kept at the Commercial Court in accordance with § 1 of the "Ausführungsverordnung zum Norddeutschen Bundesgesetze betreffend die privatrechtliche Stellung der Erwerbs- und Wirtschaftsgenossenschaften vom 4.Juli 1868" (Implementation Ordinance on the North German Federal Laws concerning the Private Law Status of Acquisition and Economic Cooperatives of 4 July 1868) of 30 November 1868 (Hamburgische Gesetzsammlung Bd.III, p.86-88) from 1 January 1869. In Bergedorf, a separate commercial register was created at the local court from 1.1.1873 (announcement of 29.12.1872, Hamburgische Gesetzsammlung Bd.VIII, p.249-251). With the entry into force of the Reich Law on Trademark Protection of 4.12.1874 on 1.5.1875, the "entry of the trademark of goods" in a register of signs was transferred to the Commercial Court (Announcement of 26.4.1875, Hamburgische Gesetzsammlung Bd.XI, p.52-54). In the following year, due to § 9 of the Reichsgesetz regarding the copyright on designs and models of 11.1.1876 (Reichsgesetzblatt, p.12), the keeping of the design register was added. The Court Constitution Act of 27.1.1877 (Reichsgesetzblatt, p.41) ended the old Hamburg Court Constitution on 1.10.1879. For the tasks of the "Handelsgerichts-Bureau für das Firmen- und Procurenwesen" (Commercial Court Bureau for Companies and Procurators), i.e. keeping the commercial, cooperative, design and trademark registers, the district court was responsible for the Hamburg territory with the exception of the Ritzebüttel and Bergedorf district authorities; for the aforementioned district authorities, the district court concerned was responsible (§ 5 of the Act concerning the non-contentious jurisdiction of 25 July 1879, HamburgischeGesetzsammlung Bd.XV, pp. 253-255). On 1.10.1894 the jurisdiction for the protection of trademarks ended. It was transferred to the Reich Patent Office (Law for the Protection of Waaren Designations of 12.5.1894, Reichegesetzblatt, p.441-448). The Stock Exchange Act of 22.6.1896 (Reichsgesetzblatt, p.157-176) added the maintenance of two stock exchange registers, one for goods and one for securities. For the district courts of Bergedorf and Ritzebüttel, no stock exchange registers were established, but jurisdiction was transferred to the regional court. The registers were kept until the amendment of the Stock Exchange Act in 1908. On 1.1.1900 the "Bureau für die Handels-, Genossenschafts-, Markenschutz- und Mustererschutz-Register" (Bureau for the Commercial, Cooperative, Trademark and Design Protection Registers) transferred its duties to the District Court at the Regional Court (§ 125 of the Reichsgesetz über die freiwillige Gerichtsbarkeit vom 17.5.1898, Reichsgesetzblatt, p.189). Register maintenance Two registers were created on 2.1.1836, the Company Protocol (A 6) and the Procuration Protocol (A 7), on the grounds of the company office. In the company protocol, all registrations provided for by the law, with the exception of procurations, were recorded. This remained essentially the case until the entry into force of the General German Commercial Code. From 1843 to 1856, a special "protocol of foreign companies" (A 8) was kept, in which foreign companies whose owners were temporarily in Hamburg were registered. Parallel to this, from 1843 to 1847 there was a "protocol for procurations by foreign companies" (A 9). The Protocol on Powers of Attorney (A 10), which ran from 1957 until the entry into force of the General German Commercial Code (Allgemeines Deutscher Handelsgesetzbuch), was considerably more comprehensive than the two aforementioned protocols. In contrast to authorised signatories, the persons entered in these minutes were only entitled to represent a company in accordance with the deposited power of attorney. After the entry into force of the General German Commercial Code (Allgemeines Deutscher Handelsgesetzbuch), the company and proxy protocols were declared commercial registers within the meaning of the Code (§ 1 of the transitional provisions to the Introductory Act, Hamburgische Verordnungen Bd.33, p.559). They continued to be guided. A protocol for public limited companies (A 11) has been newly established. In this register, in addition to the joint-stock companies registered so far in the company minutes, the proxies of foreign companies registered so far in the power of attorney minutes were also recorded. Furthermore, until the creation of a special protocol for cooperatives (A 18) on 1 January 1869, "associations" of craftsmen were entered in this protocol. As there had been repeated difficulties with the neighbouring states because of the recognition of extracts from the "Protocols", "Registers" were established on 1.1.1876. The older entries were not transferred. The company register (A 12) for sole traders and the company register (A 13) for open commercial companies and limited partnerships were created as a continuation of the company protocol, as well as the shareholder register II (A 14) for joint stock companies and limited partnerships on shares and the company register III (A 15) for authorised representatives and agents of foreign anonymous companies as a continuation of the company protocol. The protocol of the cooperatives became the register of cooperatives (A 19). Only the Prokura protocol continued to exist under the old name. Until 31.12.1875 15129 numbers had been assigned in the company minutes, 407 numbers in the minutes of the joint-stock companies. For the Company Register and the Company Register I a common numbering was made starting with no. 15130 up to 31.12.1889. From 1.1.1890 onwards, each register beginning with No. 27401 has sequential numbers. The registers of companies resulting from the minutes of joint-stock companies also have a common numbering - beginning with No. 408 - which was maintained until 1904. From 1.6.1885, the Company Register IV (A 16) was created for the branches of foreign companies that had previously been entered in the Company Register II. Finally, in 1895, the Company Register V (A 17) was established for limited liability companies. Until then, they had also been entered in the Company Register II. With the 31.12.1899 the Prokurprotokolle end. The authorized signatories were now entered in the corresponding company register or company register I, as was already the case with anonymous companies. Following the entry into force of the new Commercial Code, the entries previously made in Company Register III (A 15) for authorised representatives of foreign companies were no longer permissible. From now on, the legal entities whose obligation to register is determined in § 33 et seq. of the new Commercial Code of 10 May 1897 (Reichsgesetzblatt, p. 219) were included in this register. (in: Senate Commission for the Administration of Justice, II C d 3 a 1 Vol. 1) the closure of the registers of companies, partnerships and cooperatives was determined. The commercial registers A, B and C and a new cooperative register took their place from 1.1.1905. The contents of the old registers, which were still valid, were gradually transferred to the new registers. The stock exchange and model registers remained unaffected. Delivery, loss of records and order Since 1902, the files due for destruction at the end of the retention periods have been delivered annually to the various registers by the Local Court. The files for all registers were filed by the court after deletion of the entries according to a common Repositioning number sequence - The first delivery of registers (protocols) and lists of names apparently took place in 1910. Further registers and protocols of general content were delivered on 4.1.1933 (G.A. H 2 a 54). The large series reached the State Archives on 11.2.1950. In the years 1951, 1953, 1961 and 1967 smaller subsequent deliveries took place. Losses of records have occurred both at the Local Court and in the State Archives. No registers have yet been delivered to the State Archives: Company Protocol No. 15084 to 15129, Procuration Protocol No. 11767-12016, and Protocol for Joint Stock Companies (No. 1-407). In the State Archives, Volume 2 of the Protocol on Interrogation and Volume 3 of the Protocol on Powers of Attorney were probably destroyed by water damage during the Second World War. The files relating to the registers are also incomplete. Losses occurred due to cassations at the district court and water damage at the state archives. The administrative work now being carried out concerns only the protocols and registers for which delivery directories were previously only partially available. A review of the files and possible cassation of those containing only extracts from the registers was initially postponed. Notes on use 1. running time information The running time information for the registers only takes into account the date on which the respective register sheet was set up. They have therefore been placed in parentheses. However, almost every sheet also contains later entries. 2) Mutual references In the case of entries for a company in different register series, as well as in the case of the creation of new pages (if the old ones were fully written), mutual references have always been made, as far as established. 3. company register II to V The individual volumes frequently also contain entries for shareholders with lower register numbers than can be assumed from the title. Reference is made to such entries in the previous section. 4. directories of names A complete directory of names for all entries is not available, but almost all series are indexed by alphabetical or rough alphabetical directories. An attempt has been made to determine the existing name directories as precisely as possible. Finding the register numbers for corporations is particularly difficult. These companies have been listed very differently in the individual name directories, partly under the company name, partly according to sectors or - without taking the company name into account - under A (joint-stock company). V List of Abbreviations The following abbreviations are used in the protocols and registers: A - Commercial register A (after 1904) AG - Protocol for public limited companies B - Commercial register B (after 1904) C - Commercial register C (after 1904) Cons.Prot. - Consensual Protocol (Protocol on Consent to Continuation of the Company in the Event of Change of Owners) P - Company Protocol or Company Register PF - Protocol of External Companies PF - Company Protocol FR - Company Register G - Company Register or Cooperative Register or Protocol of Cooperatives GR - Company Register HR A - Commercial register A (after 1904) HR B - Commercial register B (after 1904) HR 0 - Commercial register C (after 1904) KP - Collective power of attorney MR - Model register P - Procuration protocol PF - Procuration protocol UB - Judgment book UP - Judgment protocol - Judgment book V - Power of attorney protocol VP - Interrogation protocol Z - (goods) sign register July 1967, Stukenbrock Archival History: The Best. contains the registers kept before 1905 and the files of companies that ceased to exist before 1905, if the content goes substantially beyond the entry in the register. The documents were delivered to the State Archives by the Local Court in 1902, 1933, 1950-1953, 1961 and 1967. The indexing took place successively after the non-archival register files had been sorted out. The retroconversion of the data took place in 2011. The inventory is to be quoted as follows: State Archives Hamburg 231-3 Commercial Register, No. ... Inventory description: In order to prevent the misuse of company names and to be able to determine who is entitled to act on behalf of a company, the obligation for merchants to register the legal relationships of their companies with the commercial court in a register accessible to everyone was introduced on 1 January 1836. However, until 1 August 1866, when the relevant provisions of the Introductory Act to the General German Commercial Code entered into force, the obligation existed only for newly established companies and for them only if the company name and the name of the owner were not identical. The possibility of voluntary registration was given. The company protocol initially established for all entries except procurations was later replaced by registers for each legal form. Special registers were added as cooperative registers (from 1869), sign registers (from 1875), design protection registers (from 1876) and stock exchange registers for goods and securities (from 1896). For each register number, a file was kept which contained documents filed in addition to a copy of the register entry. From 1 October 1879 the registers were kept at the regional court, from 1 January 1900 at the district court in Hamburg. The district courts of Bergedorf and Ritzebüttel kept their own registers for their sprinkles. The registers of companies, societies and cooperatives were closed on 31 December 1904, their still valid contents transferred to the commercial registers and a new cooperative register. The Best. contains the registers kept before 1905 and the files before 1905 of extinct enterprises, if the contents go substantially beyond the register entry.
