In 1931, 1935 and 1941, the main part of the collection was transferred to the Magdeburg State Archives, and in 1935 it was subjected to a single-stage classification according to 50 alphabetically ordered subject groups. The distortion was limited to the reproduction of the file titles of the registry creator that were handed down on the file covers. In 1966, the Stendal District Archives issued a further copy of the files of the District Committee. Most of the files were incorporated into the existing order in 1980. The small volume of the records can be attributed to considerable losses in the war and post-war period. In the course of the revision and cartoning of the inventory in 2010, it was numbered consecutively, eliminating the Roman classification numbers. The re-signing is still verifiable on file level over the listing indication "earlier signatures". When the inventory was reviewed for online publication in 2016, the structure created in 1935 was retained. Where it appeared necessary, some subject group names were linguistically adapted or adapted to the actual tradition. In addition, the file titles were revised if they were wrongly copied from the file covers or if they were too narrow when the files were created. In the case of file group no. 492-582, the notes on contents were also transferred from the old prefix sheets of the district archives and the file units were newly recorded in the case of file group no. 330-407. Since these are usually individual case files on the performance of the dismembrations in the 19th century, formed when bundles of files were separated, the farm to be dismembered was recorded with the name of the owner and the duration of the file or volume. The file no. 489 was transferred to the inventory G 4 Reichstreuhänder der Arbeit Mitteldeutschland/ Gauarbeitsamt Magdeburg-Anhalt, Magdeburg. As a result of the examination of the inventory, the new online searchable finding aid was created. Plans and drawings must be ordered stating the storage signature. Additional information: District history The district Stendal was formed in 1816 from the southeast part of the Altmark. In the French Westphalian period, the district area belonged to the Stendal district of the Elbe département. The seat of the district administrator's office and the later district municipal administration was Stendal. From 1909 to 1950, the district capital formed its own city district. The rest of the district remained unchanged until 1950 and also after the district reform of June 1950. During the administrative reform of 1952, the district of Stendal ceded its southern part to the newly formed district of Tangerhütte, while on the other hand it received six municipalities of the district of Gardelegen. The Stendal district belonged to the Magdeburg district of the GDR. The district included 119 villages in its formation. After numerous incorporations, the departure of the city of Stendal and the dissolution of the independent manor districts, there were 96 municipalities in 1939, including the cities of Arneburg, Bismark, Tangerhütte (until 1928 Vaethen, city law since 1935) and Tangermünde.

1. important note: This find book is hopefully a preliminary aid for orientation in the stock. The title recordings were made directly during the recording and evaluation of the documents in the Natural History Museum so that the documents could at least be provisionally indexed and transferred to the State Archives for use. This of course meant that only a superficial development could be carried out. 120 units are in the portfolio. 2nd History of the Natural History Museum: The Staatliche Museum für Naturkunde Stuttgart has its origins in the ducal Kunstkammer. In 1791 an independent "Naturalien-Kabinett" was separated from this, which was responsible for the collection of minerals, plants and animals. In 1827 the Natural History Cabinet received a new building in Stuttgart's Neckarstraße, which it used together with the State Archives. The files contained in the collection bear witness to the not unproblematic proximity of two cultural institutions, which obviously worked against each other to assert their mostly scarce means. The building was rebuilt several times, in the 1860s by extending the wings towards Archivstraße. In 1944, the building was destroyed by the Natural History Museum and the State Archives; the natural history collections were then stored in Rosenstein Castle. In 1900 the Natural History Cabinet was given the modern name Natural History Collection, which was used until 1950. Since 1950 it has been the State Museum of Natural History, and in 1817 the Natural History Cabinet was placed under the authority of a newly established supreme authority, the Royal Directorate of Scientific Collections. This stood above the public library, the collection of coins, medals, art and antiquities and the collection of natural objects. On April 1, 1919, the Directorate of the Scientific Collections was abolished, the Natural History Collection as well as the State Library directly subordinated to the Ministry of Culture, and it was assumed that the tradition of the Directorate of the Scientific Collections had been largely destroyed in the Second World War together with that of the Ministry of Culture (see also below under 5.). Fortunately, among the documents of the Natural History Museum, there were numerous files from the Directorate of Scientific Collections. 3. content and order of the holdings: the documents provide information on the development of a princely collection of precious objects into a scientific enterprise and a museum that is becoming more and more accessible to the public. In this context, the general administrative acts presented here particularly reflected the practical affairs of the company: time and again, the securing and construction of premises, the procurement of the necessary furniture and personnel issues are at stake. In view of the disturbed situation of tradition in the Ministry of Culture, the documents of the Natural History Museum and the Directorate offered for separation were taken over completely up to and including 1945, provided that they were not completely meaningless redundancies with regard to content. In addition, there had also been assignments of documents and processes of the museum to the files of the directorate (and vice versa) in the Natural History Museum. A technically correct separation of the provenances could only be achieved here through individual analyses. For this reason, it was decided at the moment not to divide the holdings into a "Directorate of Scientific Collections" and a "Natural History Collection/Museum". Even a separation into an old collection until 1945 and a newer collection for the State Museum of Natural History after 1945 would not be possible and meaningful without detailed analyses. Such files, which clearly originated with the Directorate (identifiable by the file number, among other things) and were closed at the time of their existence, were assigned to the classification group "1st Directorate" with the final provenance "Directorate". Otherwise, it was occasionally necessary to decide according to the main focus of the file or to assign the file unit to the point "5. files (provenance not yet clarified)" until the situation was clarified; this was particularly often the case for files with a very long duration. Otherwise, the classification follows a chronological principle; in view of the small volume of the documents, it seemed reasonable to refrain at least for the time being from a factual subdivision. The Directorate in particular obviously followed a stringent file plan, which could not, however, be found. In the natural history collection, the file number apparently played a subordinate role, and the collection is expected to grow further in the coming years. 4. terms of use: Individual file units are still subject to protection and blocking periods according to the Landesarchivgesetz. 5. reference to other documents: Accounting documents of the Directorate of the Scientific Collections are in the inventory E 226/230 of the State Archives Ludwigsburg. it is to be assumed that also older documents remained in the Natural History Museum, where they are partly still needed. 6. literature: Dehlinger, Alfred: Württembergs Staatswesen in its historical development until today.

In the course of the constitutional unification of the two duchies, the State Ministry of Dessau was formed on 25 May 1853 from the three State Ministries of the Federal State, the State Ministry of Dessau and the State Ministry of Köthen. After the extinction of the Dukes of Anhalt-Bernburg, the Dessau State Ministry merged with the Bernburg State Ministry on 13 September 1863 to form the Dessau State Ministry. The Anhalt state ministries were formally responsible for all departments as higher authorities with "directing, ordering, supervising and executive power". There was no division into individual ministries. For the execution of certain specialist tasks, the governments and their specialist departments were subordinated to them as intermediate authorities, which in turn subordinated the district directorates as subordinate authorities. The separation of the judiciary and administration at all levels has been achieved through the establishment of specific judicial authorities. Inventory information: The files were first kept at the State Ministry Dessau 3 as "Aktenrepertorium Herzoglich Anhaltischen Staatsministeriums D" and at the end of the 19th century were handed over to the State Archive Zerbst, where they were filed under Rep. 7. Additional information: The filming took place as part of the GDR backup filming (so-called Fercher films). Included cards: 3

Preliminary note The tradition of the Prussian State Commissioner for Welfare Regulations, together with the Dahlemer tradition of the Ministry of People's Welfare under the repository number 191, is placed within the First Main Department of the Secret State Archives of Prussian Cultural Heritage. This maintains a decision taken in Merseburg in 1977/78 which, after the files of the Ministry of People's Welfare, which existed from 1919 to 1932, had been distributed among the ministries previously and subsequently competent again, had the documents of the State Commissioner drawn up as repository 191. Due to the close temporal and functional connection between the State Commissioner and the Ministry, this summary in a repository is also justifiable from the point of view of the authorities. The tradition of the State Commissioner with the serial numbers 3011 to 5003 for numerous jumping numbers includes more than 1,500 units. There are no signature overlaps with the ministerial tradition. It was recorded in 1990/91 by the archivists Mrs Reinhardt and Mr Diener. Since 1998 the archivist Mr. Nossol took care of the order, and Mrs. Baumgarten and Mrs. Bergert took care of the data entry. The indexing was prepared by the archivist Mr. Tempel. The indices do not repeat the thematic classifications. Berlin, signed June 2001 Dr. Marcus Findmittel: database; find book, 2 vols

Administrative history: The holdings of "Senate war files" consist mainly of the files that were created separately in the course of the war 1914-1918 next to the Senate registry (cf. 111-1 Senate) and most probably initially filed according to numerus currens. This is indicated by the old signatures, which consisted of the abbreviation K or Krg and a continuous Arabic numerical sequence. With the introduction of this new registry principle, which was intended to make the complex allocations to the complicatedly encrypted subjects of the old Senate registry superfluous, those responsible could not overlook the fact that the war would not end quickly. The choice of the numerus currens for the structure of the collection, although it represented the simplest method of filing, soon had to prove to be disastrous for the recourse to subject matters. This is probably also the reason why different files were created on the same subjects and why topics that were factually close to each other were filed far apart. It is no longer possible today to reconstruct how the registry was restructured in individual cases as a result of the war - and this meant above all that it was determined by the loss of the majority of the previous registrar's employees - due to the lack of tradition. After the end of the war and the expiry of the war-related measures, some of which lasted until the end of the 1920s, the Senate's war registry was enriched with individual registries of commissioners and commissioners. Because some of them had their own registries growing. Thus, for example, the files of the "Senate Commissioner for the Trust Commission for the Provision of Funds for the Tasks Arising from the War" as well as those of the "Central Commission for War Support" or the "Reich Commissioner at the Higher Committee for the Determination of War Damages" reached the old registry. All these registries or parts of registries were probably still united and structured in the Senate registry. The new structure was presumably based on models that can no longer be reconstructed at present. It placed upper groups with capital letters (A to Z - whereby one did not get along with the 25 characters and had to designate the last three groups as Z I, Z II and Z III) over groups with Roman numbers (I, II and III), if this appeared necessary or directly over subgroups with lower case letters (a to z - whereby one did not get along with the 25 alphabet characters also here and then extended with z1, z2, z3 and so on). A deeper structuring could then be done again with lower case letters, the next structuring step again with Arabic numerals, so that in the outermost case signatures of considerable length resulted ( e.g. B II b 121 z 4). Archival history: In this order the registry was handed over to the State Archives at the beginning of the 1930s in a volume of approx. 60 running metres and was kept here until August 1986 without re-drawing and cassation interventions. At this time, H.-P. Plaß, the student councillor temporarily seconded to the State Archives, was commissioned to redraw the holdings. He was told not to change the signatures in the inventory, since the war records had already been used and evaluated scientifically on various occasions. From him was registered up to signature B II b 633 a. In April 1989, the undersigned took care of the larger rest and completed the registration and cassation work by February 1990. In contrast to his predecessor, the undersigned has decided to collect a considerable part of the acts of war according to the following criteria. - files which exclusively dealt with the execution of decisions of the Bundesrat or other orders of the Zentralgewalt and at most documented the instructions for publication in the Gesetz- und Verordnungsblatt or Amtsblatt as an independent administrative act; - files which had no connection whatsoever with Hamburg or which did not include any formative political or administrative contribution from Hamburg; - files which arose for the Senate from all sorts of mailings, but which did not lead to any political or administrative activities; - individual case files, if they were only petitions and rejections due to lack of competence. Thus, attempts were made to document the specific Hamburg conditions, activities and special features. Since the auxiliary registrars at the Senate 1914-1918 could not know which subject matters would lead to actual document growth, they created numerous files, which in the end were occupied only with very few, in very many cases Hamburg not touching documents. On the other hand, other fact files simply expanded so much due to the amount of written material that even the creation of subfiles could not be dispensed with when new files were created, in order to subsequently achieve the necessary differentiation. The cassation from signature B II b 634 onwards concerned approx. 2/3 of the previous holdings. The total circumference was thus reduced from approx. 60 running metres to 36 running metres. The signatures were retained. Only at one point, in the files from the former registry of the Central Commission for War Support, there was a deviation from this. All files of the Central Commission were systematically included in Group C II d 11; they had their own two to four-unit registration numbers from capital letters A to M, Arabic numerals and possibly lower case letters and again Arabic numerals - e.g. B 1 g 2. This would have resulted in signatures of considerable length. Therefore a short signature C II d 11 - 1 ff. was used. A concordance at the end of the directory allows the old numbers to be found. The title formation in the war registry obviously took place quite predominantly after the first document to be filed. Only very few changes were made to titles, even if the focus of the content of the respective file changed as a result of the addition of documents. Only rarely did this necessitate the creation of a new file title; however, both H.-P. Plaß and the undersigned have ample knowledge of the possibility of adapting file titles to the content of the file by means of changes (at about 80
ller files). Since the files on the same or similar subjects reached very different locations not only in the original numerus currens procedure, but also in the newly created classification system, it was necessary from the outset to work with numerous references. These were noted on the files with the numerus currens signatures and were not adapted during the reworking into the new structure. References could therefore only be identified and verified via the provisional repertory, which contained both the original and the new numbers. H.-P. Plaß tried to take all references as references to the individual file titles. Since this led to a whole series of complicated reference signatures for almost every file title, the undersigned has reversed this procedure by replacing individual references with subject, name and place indices. This is probably the easiest way to find relatives. As a rule, the index terms were taken from the titles of the files, only in a few cases was an approximation carried out. (For example, the term "food" is always recorded as "food".) Signed July 1992. Lorenzen-Schmidt Description of the inventory: The inventory consists mainly of the files that were created separately from the Senate registry during the war of 1914-1918 and which reflect the civil needs of warfare in particular. After the end of the war and the expiry of the war-related measures, some of which extended until the end of the 1920s, the Senate's war registry was enriched with individual registries of commissioners and commissioners. Thus, for example, the files of the "Senate Commissioner for the Trust Commission for the Provision of Funds for the Tasks Arising from the War" as well as those of the "Central Commission for War Support" or the "Reich Commissioner at the Higher Committee for the Determination of War Damages" reached the old registry. All these registries or parts of registries were probably still united and structured in the Senate registry. In terms of content, the following main groups are to be named: A. The military readiness for war, B. The bourgeois readiness for war (therein dominating: b. Economic measures), C. The war welfare care, F. Measures for the implementation of the people's nutrition, X. The political conditions after the revolution and its reorganization, Z.I. The demobilization. In addition, material from almost all areas of Hamburg's supreme administrative activity during the war years is included. (LS)

fonds N 2, 1850-1978 (251VE) Foreword Biographical The grandfather of Richard Feiber was a medical officer in Castellaun in the Hunsrück region. Richard Adolf Robert Feiber, Protestant, was born on 27 May 1869 in Koblenz as the son of Captain Robert Feiber and his wife Helene, née Michael ( 1911). In May 1906 Feiber moved to Bergisch Gladbach, first into the Gasstraße and to 20.02.1909 finally into the Gronauerstraße 25 (today Hauptstraße 17) into the newly built house ("Feibersche Haus"). Richard Feiber married Martha Margaretha Viktoria Feiber, née Westphal (15.06.1875 in Bergisch Gladbach, 11.05.1946) on 26.09.1896. The following children emerged from the marriage: - Elsbeth (23.02.1901 in Wesel, 24.07.1942 in Lublin, engaged to medical soldier Gerhard Wolters) -Roland (11.01.1904 in Wesel, Dipl.-Ing., 21.01.1990 in Bergisch Gladbach), married Else Unruh. Children: Helga Roswitha (1939) and Turid (1942) -Gerda (04.08.1909 in Bergisch Gladbach, married Walther Armin Heinrich Gehnen from Porz on 26.11.1932, 12.05.1993) -Friedrich Robert Helmuth (*23.09.1897 in Bergisch Gladbach, died as a war volunteer as a result of wounding on 06.06.1915 in Sainghin/North of France) Feiber began his military career in 1879 as a cadet in Oranienstein and from1884 in Groß-Lichterfelde. In 1887 he joined the infantry regiment 57 Herzog Ferdinand von Braunschweig as a port midshipman and worked from 17.02.1894 to 18.12.1895 as an educator at the cadet school in Bensberg. From 1896-1899 Feiber attended the war academy and was promoted to captain in 1903. On 10.04.1906 he retired from service, but was reused in 1914-16. From April 1906 Feiber worked temporarily for the Köttgen Cie. company. Paul Köttgen was the brother-in-law of Richard Feiber. On 1 July 1906 Feiber became the company's authorised signatory. In Wesel Feiber was city commander for 19 years in military service as captain (since July 1903) and later as major. He belonged to the Infantry Regiment 57 Duke Ferdinand of Braunschweig (8th Westphalian). About this regiment, Feiber compiled a list of all the records on the basis of personal and historical data collected. In January 1915 Richard Feiber received the Iron Cross after having successfully participated as a captain in the Battle of Soissons. On 31 July 1916 Feiber was finally released from military service. In 1935 the "Ring of former Bensberger" was founded, an association of former Bensberger cadets. Feiber belonged to her and helped organize the regular cadet meetings. In 1947 he wrote an extensive documentation about the history of the Bensberg cadet house. For the "Ring of former Bensbergers", Feiber wrote honorary books with 671 names of former Bensbergers, which Feiber completed on April 20, 1944. The original intention was to create a memorial for the fallen of the First World War. However, this could not be achieved. Over time the project became a memorial for the Kadettenhaus Bensberg in the form of a book of honour. Initially, only the cadets at the Kadettenhaus in Bensberg and the fallen soldiers of the First World War from Bensberg were to be included. However, Feiber extended this requirement to the wars and colonial battles before the First World War. In addition to the cadets, he also included the officers and teachers who had worked at the cadet house in his line-up. As leader of the circle of friends of former cadets ("Ring former Bensberger") Feiber was significantly involved in the design of the cadet memorial room in the Bensberger castle. The room burned to the ground on March 2, 1942. Furthermore, from November 1918 Feiber was first deputy chairman, then until 1933 chairman of the Kreiskriegerverband Mülheim am Rhein, of which he was last honorary leader. In 1909/10 Feiber was chairman of the local group Bergisch Gladbach of the Allgemeiner Deutscher Sprachverein. In this function he was also a temporary member of the small subcommittee of the city's construction and finance commission for proposals for street names in the city of Bergisch Gladbach. From 1 April 1919 to 31 March 1925 Feiber was a member of the school committee of the higher educational institution. In the 1920s, Feiber was a member of the assessment commission in Bergisch Gladbach, whose task it was to assess the damage caused by the occupation. He was also a commercial judge from July 1920 to July 1923 and a labour judge from 1 June 1927. Until 1931 he was chairman of the Gewerbliche Vereinigung and until 1927 board member of the Arbeitgeberverband der Metallindustrie. Feiber in der Gesellschaft Erholung e.V. Bergisch Gladbach was also a member of the Executive Board. There he was chairman from 1914-1917. For the moved town councillor Wilhelm Pennartz Richard Feiber moved on 07.04.1925 as a substitute man in the town council. He belonged to the party "Wirtschaftliche Liste" (WL). At the election of the city council on 17.11.1929, Feiber entered the city parliament as a member of the Liberal Association Bergisch Gladbach (LV) (until 1933). After that, he wasn't a city councillor anymore. He joined the NSDAP in April 1933, but was expelled from the party in 1934. From 1933 Feiber was a local group leader of the local group of the Reichsluftschutzbund, founded on 5 August 1933 in the Bergisch Gladbach town hall. Feiber was involved in the Protestant parish of Bergisch Gladbach. Like his father-in-law Friedrich Westphal, he was churchmaster (from January 1933), but later resigned from this office. Richard Feiber passed away on 11.09.1948. The history of the collection and its holdings About Mrs. Herta Jux, née Meese, 8 archive cartons and 3 large folders were initially placed in the city archive at the beginning of 1990. Later, further documents were handed over. The documents handed over all originate from the so-called "Feiber¿sche Haus" ("German House") at Hauptstraße 17. Herta Jux, great-granddaughter of Friedrich Westphal about Elisabeth Köttgen, née Westphal and widely also related to Richard Feiber, wrote an essay about this house in the Rheinisch-Bergisches Kalender. Today the house is owned by the daughter of Prof. Dr. Ulrich and Herta Jux. In the above-mentioned transfers there were many letters from the families Feiber, Westphal and von Oven. The letters from Feiber's immediate family remained in N 2, whereas the letters and all other documents concerning the extensive Westphal family and von Oven respectively reached N 14, the estate of Friedrich Westphal. The newly formed estate N 10 Maria Grosch was the result of a further bundle of letters and documents that had long been kept in the city archives under the (unlisted) estate of Malotki of Trzebiatowski. During the First World War the celebrations wrote each other daily, sometimes several times a day. There was a lively exchange of letters between the married couple Richard and Margaretha Feiber and between Helmut Feiber and his parents Richard and Margaretha. Richard Feiber's letters are more about war from a personal point of view, whereas his war diaries give an impression of the everyday life of a military trainer. Military and military history is a thematic focus of the collection. Feiber has dealt intensively with the history of the infantry regiment Duke Ferdinand von Braunschweig (8th Westphalian) No. 57. He reworked the regimental history for this regiment and created a list of all regiments for this regiment. The preparatory work for this can be found in the inventory. Of local historical importance is Feiber's commitment to the furnishing of a cadet memorial room in the New Bensberg Palace in the 1940s. The list of members of the Kameradschaftliche Vereinigung Bergisch Gladbach may also be of local historical interest. Another focus of the collection is on files relating to the various administrative activities that Richard Feiber carried out on behalf of his family members. For the four tribes of the descendants of Friedrich Westphal, Feiber was responsible for the administration of the common hereditary property in Bergisch Gladbach. The extensive file on this subject sheds light on aspects of Bergisch Gladbach's city history, particularly with regard to the distribution of land, urban and development planning, the significance of the so-called Trasskaule and the effects of the global economic crisis on the value of inherited property. Last but not least, these files also provide information about family history. Richard Feiber continued with the matters that had not yet been concluded upon the death of Friedrich Westphal. This concerns above all the asset management for his mother-in-law Christiane Westphal, and thus in close connection, the regulation of matters concerning the Oven¿schen Stiftungsfonds. Feiber was predestined for these tasks due to his diligence and his comprehensive expertise. Beyond Bergisch Gladbach the documents of Feiber, which deal with family research, are of importance. Feiber has collected extensive information about the families Feiber, Westphal and von Oven. References The maps and plans from the estate of Feiber which exceed a certain size can be found in the map holdings under K 1/1422-1425 and K 1/1428. In the photo collection of the Gerhard Saffran collection belonging to R 5 there is the photo collection of Richard Feiber (signatures L 105/1-25). On the photos L 105/49, L 105/110-111 you can see Richard Feiber himself. Gerhard Saffran and Richard Feiber met when Feiber was busy building the cadet memorial room in Bensberg Castle. Saffran helped him get some remembrance material. In addition, the Saffran Collection also contains the honorary books I and II of the Royal Prussian Cadet House Bensberg, which Feiber wrote in neat handwriting (signatures R 5/26-27). These honorary books, which contain a compilation of biographical data and military careers of the former Bensberg cadets, are based on genealogical research on the cadets. There is a file with the signature R 5/28 about this. A document about the Kadettenhaus Bensberg by Richard Feiber can be found in the archive library under the signature WM 236 or in the collections of the archive under S 6/166. The list of members of the Kameradschaftliche Vereinigung Bergisch Gladbach (Comradeship Association Bergisch Gladbach) includes a sound cassette recording of conversations between the son Roland Feiber and the archive director Ellis Kreuwels (T 3/10). An oil painting in a wooden frame, which had originally been handed over with the estate documents, was handed over to the Villa Zanders Municipal Gallery. It is a painting by Carl Schön: The warship S.M.S. Iltis in front of the Takuforts during the defeat of the Südforts on 17.6.1900. It was a gift from Admiral von Lans to the Ring of former Bensbergers for the new cadet memorial room, presented on 12.4.1942. Richard Feiber continued the affairs perceived by him after the death of his father-in-law Friedrich Westphal. These include, for example, negotiations that have not yet been finally concluded, property matters and the administration of von Oven¿ family support funds. If in part of these files the basis or the majority of the documents were created by Friedrich Westphal, they were recorded at N 14. The following files in estate N 14 Friedrich Westphal were further processed by Richard Feiber: -N 14/114 Documents on the internal relationship of Friedrich Westphal as a partner in the Zanders company and as a negotiating partner in property matters -N 14/108 Administration of the Hausarmenfonds donated by Caroline von Oven née Moll, widow of Carl Engelbert von Oven, by Friedrich Westphal - N 14/109 Financial support for Margaretha Feiber née Westphal and her husband Richard Feiber by Friedrich Westphal Michael Krischak April 2009

On the postal history of Baden between 1872 and 1934: in 1811, the Grand Duchy of Baden took the postal system out of the hands of Thurn und Taxis and transferred it to state control. A postal directorate was created, which in 1814 was transformed into a regional postal directorate. In 1843, after the introduction of the railway, the "Direktion der Posten und Eisenbahnen" (Directorate of Posts and Railways) was created, which was renamed "Direktion der Großherzoglich Badischen Verkehrsanstalten" in 1854. In connection with his entry into the German Reich, Baden renounced his postal sovereignty. On January 1, 1872, the Baden Postal Correspondents were transferred to the Imperial Imperial Post Office, after the railway system, which had not been handed over, had been separated from the postal administration again (see Resistance Group 421). After 1872, the real estate assets of the Baden Post remained the property of the Baden State, but could be used by the Reichspost, which of course remained free to purchase new land and buildings for its own purposes. The Reichspostverwaltung set up two Oberpostdirektionen (OPD) in Baden as the central authority, based in Karlsruhe and Constance, whose mutual borders ran south of the Kehl-Appenweier-Oppenau railway line. The OPD Karlsruhe was also assigned the Hessian district of Wimpfen, the OPD Konstanz the Prussian part of Hohenzollern; both areas were also looked after by the Reichspost, while the neighbouring kingdom of Württemberg had kept its own post office after 1871. The two Oberpostdirektionen were subordinated to the General Post Office (from 1880 Reichspostamt, from 1919 Reichspostministerium) as the higher authority. Since telegraphy in the North German Confederation had been subject to its own "General Directorate of Telegraphs", in 1872 telegraphy in Baden had also been removed from the jurisdiction of the post office. But already on 1 January 1876 the fusion of post and telegraphy took place in the Reichspost area. From now on the telegraph stations in Baden were subject to the two regional post offices and the Reichspostamt, partly as independent telegraph stations or offices, but mostly united with post offices. In 1934 the OPD Karlsruhe, like the other regional post offices of the Reich, was renamed "Reichspostdirektion" (RPD). On the basis of the Act of 27 February 1934 simplifying and reducing the cost of administration, which was fundamental to the postal and telecommunications sectors, the Constance OPD was dissolved with effect from 1 April 1934 and, after a transitional period, finally ceased to exist on 1 October 1937. Its territory was assigned to the RPD Karlsruhe, which also took over the files of the OPD Konstanz and partially continued them. Explanations on holdings 419: The majority of the files listed in this finding aid were delivered by the RPD Karlsruhe in 1941 (access 1941-17). The smaller part was taken from the deliveries of the OPD Karlsruhe 454 access 1980-30, 419 access 1981-49 and 454 access 1982-18 according to provenance. The OPD Karlsruhe kept an old registration of about 1500 running meters. Files from the foundation of the Reichspostverwaltung in 1872, of which only the aforementioned access had reached the Generallandesarchiv in 1941. After the General State Archives had tried in vain in 1961 to deliver the remaining documents, the OPD had the entire old files destroyed without consulting the archives by house decree of 20 April 1970. This means that the only closed old register of an OPD in Germany, which also contained the documents of the OPD Konstanz, which was dissolved in 1934, has been lost. The duration of the material files of inventory 419 essentially covers the period 1872-1945. Only a few files of the management of the Großherzoglich Badischen Verkehrsanstalten and collections of circular decrees of the General Post Office Berlin to Prussian Oberpostdirketionen, which had apparently been handed over to the OPD Karlsruhe as information necessary for the course of business, continued in the Oberpostdirketionen and date back further. Some files of the access 1941 were classified in the personal files (see below), one file came according to its provenance to stock 418, six files were cashed. Since the numbering of the access was maintained 1941-17, the following numbers are no longer used: 1-7, 10, 11, 13, 65, 121-128, 193, 522, 676, 697, 713, 720, 753, 758, 774, 838, 883, 935-936 and 939-940.The older personnel files of inventory 419 have been added to the General State Archives with the additions 1938-42 (61 personnel files of the OPD Konstanz), 1941-17 (6 personnel files of the OPD Karlsruhe) and 1981-49 (2252 personnel files of the OPDn or RPD Karlsruhe and Konstanz and the OPD Karlsruhe after 1945). The personnel files of the 1941 access were incorporated into the 1981 access and the list of consignments was supplemented accordingly. Song and processing of the inventory: A file plan for the RPD documents is not available and could not be obtained from the OPD Karlsruhe. For example, the classification of the inventory is based on the usual division of the postal and telecommunications sectors into operations and administration, with attempts being made to reconstruct the file plan from the registry signatures on the file covers. The greater part of the documents are special maps, which were led by the OPDn to the individual transport companies of their district. These are post offices, postal agencies, postal branch offices, railway post offices, postal auxiliaries and independent telegraph stations or offices. These files shall regularly contain the following documents: Professional records, audit reports from post offices, inventories, duty schedules, guides for the training of postal and telegraph staff, which are no longer mentioned in the repertory itself. Further details on the legal status, business area and internal operation of the individual transport companies can be found in the description by K. Sautter (see bibliography), pp. 37-41. Under the direction of the undersigned, the State Archives officers Rudolf Benl, Robert Kretzschmar and Sybille Wittenberg carried out the drawing up of the records and the order in the spring of 1982, and Brigitte Weiler, an aspiring inspector, added additions.
