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). Period to: 1950 Period from: 1819 Citation method: HU UA, University Curator.01, No. XXX. HU UA, UK.01, No. XXX. 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

The file no. 744 to 793 were found in the archives during the clean-up and added to the find book together with the file no. 794-796 given to us by the Department of Historical Collections of the HU 2011 University Library. History of the Registratur-Bildners The later Tierärztliche Hochschule zu Berlin was opened on 01.06.1790 as Tierarzneischule. (1)She was first subordinated to the Oberstallmeistern v. Lindenau and v. Jagow. Count Lindenau had been commissioned by Friedrich Wilhelm II to take the necessary preparatory steps to found a veterinary school. In view of the devastating cattle plague, King Frederick II had already given the order to draw up a plan for a veterinary training centre. However, the submitted plans failed because the Prussian Treasury was not willing to bear the requested construction costs at the proposed level. However, political and military considerations forced King Frederick William II to agree to the founding of a veterinary school in 1787. The costs were to be borne by the royal private assets. After v. Lindenau had led appropriate negotiations, the Tierarzneischule was opened to 01.06.1790. 4 professors, 1 pharmacist, 2 teaching blacksmiths, 1 stable master, 1 farm assistant, 1 provisional (pharmacy), 2 guard masters, 1 castellan, 9 stable servants, 1 gardener, 2 garden servants, 1 night watchman and 1 candidate made up the first staff of the school. At first the training was almost exclusively of so-called military eleven, soldiers who were trained as flag smiths for the army. In the year 1806 Graf v. Lindenau met back from the management of the school and his successor Oberstallmeister v. Jagow took over. The subordination to the Obermarstallamt had a very negative effect on the development of the school. On 26.03.1810, W. v. Humboldt drew up a memorandum which emphasised the scientific significance of the Tierarzneischule in particular and in which he spoke out in favour of integrating the school into the newly established university. Although Humboldt's demands were rejected by Jagow, this memorandum nevertheless became the starting point for renewed proposals for an improved establishment of the school, which were presented above all by Prof. Rudolph, Medical Councillor, and Langermann, State Councillor. By cabinet order of 09.06.1817 the school was subordinated to the Ministry of the Interior and the War. At the beginning of August 1817, the first department of the Berlin government took over the supervision of the school. (2) After the dissolution of the Berlin government and the restoration of the police headquarters, the veterinary school was subordinated to it. (3) The regulations about the restoration of the police headquarters in Berlin of 18.09.1822 provided in § 8 - Medizinal-Polizei - the subordination of the Charité and the Tierarzneischule to the medical department. As ministerial authority, the Ministry was now responsible for spiritual, educational and medical matters. In addition, the War Ministry and the Obermarstallamt had retained their say. By cabinet order of 16.11.1835 "for the acceleration of the reorganization and expedient management of the Tierarzneischule" the establishment of a "Kuratorium für die Krankenhaus- und Tierarzneischulangelegenheiten vom König Friedrich Wilhelm III. was ordered. (4) Privy Councillor Albers, who had been appointed provisional director, conducted the takeover negotiations on the part of the school. The right of the War Ministry and the Obermarstallamt to have a say remained unchanged. After the dissolution of the Board of Trustees, the administration of the Veterinary School was transferred by cabinet order of 10.12.1847 to a directorate directly subordinated to the Ministry of Spiritual, Educational and Medical Affairs. This Directorate consisted of the Director (Albers until 1849) and the Accounting Council of Esse, who was also the Administrative Director of the Charité. Other directors were: Gurlt until 1870, Gerlach until 1877, Roloff until 1885 and since 1885 - Müller. A cabinet order of 27.04.1872 ordered that the Veterinary School be subordinated to the Prussian Ministry of Agriculture, Domains and Forests. At the same time, a close connection was established with the veterinary administration, which subsequently had a very fruitful effect, especially on scientific research activities. On 20.06.1887 the Tierarzneischule was awarded the title "Tierärztliche Hochschule" by "Allerhöchsten Erlass". At the same time, Minister v. Lucius issued a provisional statute for the school. (5) Thereafter, the school's performance committees were the rector and the teaching staff. (§ 5 loc. cit.) The Rector was appointed by the Minister. It was not until 1903 that the school was granted the right to vote. The principal was responsible for running the school. The administrators were under the authority of the rector. The senior administrative officer used the official title "Administrator". (Section 24 of the Articles of Association). The first rector was the former director Prof. Müller. It was not until April 1913, after lengthy negotiations, that the school was awarded the final charter by the "Allerhöchste Order" of 31.03.1913. (6) The right to award doctorates had previously been granted (05.09.1910). In September 1932 the Ministry of Agriculture, Domains and Forestry issued a new statute for the veterinary universities in Prussia, according to the information provided. (Ministerial Gazette of the Prussian Administration for Agriculture, Domains and Forests, No 41/1932, p. 566). In addition, the draft Rules of Procedure for the Rector and Senate of the University of Veterinary Medicine have been drafted. (7) However, as a result of the subordination to the Prussian Ministry of Science, Art and Popular Education, these no longer appear to have been carried out. In January 1909, at the request of the rector Schmaltz, the title "Magnifizenz" was awarded to the rector of the school. (8) This also meant that the external equality with the other Berlin universities (university, technical college, agricultural college) had been achieved. By the emergency decree of 29.10.1932 the Veterinary University was again subordinated to the Prussian Ministry for Science, Art and National Education. (9) On 02.10.1934 the Prussian Minister of Science, Art and National Education ordered the transfer of the administrative business of the Veterinary College to the Administrative Director of the Charité. (10). This order already suggested that the integration of the university into the university was imminent. Already on 20.10.1934 a meeting took place in the Ministry of Culture. (11) Professors Krüger and Bierbaum, as representatives of the school, were decidedly against the intended establishment of an agricultural veterinary faculty at Berlin University for various reasons. They advocated the creation of an independent veterinary faculty and rejected any link with the Faculty of Agriculture. Notwithstanding the objections also from other sides, the integration of the University of Veterinary Medicine and Agriculture into the University as the 5th Faculty took place under the name of "Faculty of Agriculture and Veterinary Medicine", Department of Agriculture and Department of Veterinary Medicine with effect from 01.11.1934. (12) Since the management of the administrative affairs by the Administrative Director of the Charité led to the detriment, the Administrative Director of the University took over these from 01.05.1935. Subsequently, the existing officials and employees of both departments were entrusted with new areas of work. With effect from 01.10.1937 the Department of Veterinary Medicine was transformed into an independent Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and separated from the connection with the Faculty of Agriculture. (13) Since 01.10.1937 the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Berlin has been in existence. Registratur und Bestandsgeschichte I. Registraturverhältnisse As is usual with the older authority registries, the registry of the University of Veterinary Medicine also contained fact files. In most cases, the file titles correspond to the contents of the file. The external condition of the files, apart from some damaged file units, can be described as good. The traditional registry order begins relatively late, only with the takeover of the Tierarzneischule by the government of Berlin in 1817. From 1790 to 1817 the school was under the control of the Oberstallmeistern v. Lindenau and v. Jagow. The registry order was established in 1841 by the registrar Tönnies. (14) It has essentially been preserved in its structure until 1945 and beyond a few years later. Main groups were formed which were called "sections" (Roman numerals). The further subdivision according to Arabic numerals designated the individual file unit. A total of 45 sections were formed, with sections XXVIII, XXXVII-XLI, XLIII and XLV completely missing. The subordination of the Tierarzneischule under three different middle authorities (1817 government Berlin, 1822 police headquarters Berlin, 1836-1848 board of trustees for the hospital and Tierarzneischulangelegenheiten) affected also the registration conditions. Thus, a significant number of file units of these intermediate authorities, known as the "veterinary school registry", were inserted into the registry of the veterinary school when it was dissolved and continued there. Some files, which were not continued at the Tierarzneischule (government Berlin, police presidium). Board of Trustees for Hospital and Veterinary School Matters), were forwarded to the State Archive in Potsdam for competence. The direct subordination to the Ministry of Spiritual, Educational and Medical Affairs in 1847 eliminated the double subordination and also created clearer registry relationships. After the integration of the University of Veterinary Medicine into the University of Berlin on 01.11.1934 and the formation of the Faculty of Agricultural Veterinary Medicine, Department of Veterinary Medicine, the registration conditions remained the same. (15) After in May 1935 the administrative director of the university had been charged with the administration of the agricultural veterinary institutes, about 160 file units were handed over to him, most of which still exist. (16) The former central registry of the Veterinary University was thus split up. One part was handed over to the administrative director of the university (from 1936 university curator), the other remained as faculty files in the independent faculty of veterinary medicine established with effect from 01.10.1937. The existing audit files are referred to as "personal files", which also have gaps, are not listed in alphabetical order and are located at the end of the file. (17) A copy of the registration scheme is attached as an annex. TWO. Access The holdings were located in the heating cellar of the Chemical Institute of the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, where they were found in November 1960 and taken over by the archive in January 1961. Negotiations to take over the stock had already been conducted with the Dean of the Faculty since 1955, but without result. At first, the dean refused to hand over the files to the archive, although the inventory was transferred from one place to another and finally ended up in the heating cellar of the Chemical Institute. During the order and distortion it was determined that the stock is no longer completely available. For cassation, therefore, it was mainly personal files of the technical personnel that were proposed. III. archival treatment The file material was roughly arranged in the year 1962 by Mr. Rambeau, whereby after the existing registry signatures the earlier order scheme was reconstructed. The indexing took place in the months February to June 1965 by Dr. Kossack, then head of the university archive. The existing file units were listed individually. The "extended distortion" (§ 87 OVG) was applied. Only in the case of the 'expert reports' files was the group listing applied. With regard to the internal order of the inventory, the found registry order was retained, since it remained unchanged during the activity of the registry formatter. (§ 61 OVG). A delimitation of the individual sections has been made and a copy of the registration scheme has been attached so that the user can quickly find his way around.

Preface: The Faculty of Theology Dean's Office History of the Registrar's Educator The Faculty of Theology has existed since the founding of the university in 1810. However, the first colleges on Christian morality and hermeneutics were held by Schleiermacher as early as 22.11.1809.(1) In an expert opinion on the establishment of the Faculty of Theology from 25.5. to 22.11.1809, the first colleges were held in the Faculty of Theology.In 1810 Schleiermacher demanded a division of the subject matter into exegetical, dogmatic and practical theology and a seminar for scholarly theology for a closer connection between pupils and teachers and for the deepening of knowledge, pointing out that no difference should be made between the denominations and individual directions of the Protestant Church within the faculty.(2) As can be seen from the Faculty Statutes of 1838, Schleiermacher's proposals were also realized. The following disciplines were on the curriculum: Encyclopedia and Methodology of Theology Introduction to the Old and New Testaments Biblical Critique and Hermeneutics History of the Old Testament and Biblical Archaeology Interpretation of the Pentateuch, the Job, the Psalms and the Isaiah, the most important historical and didactic writings of the New Testament Church and Dogma History Dogmatics, theological Morality, Symbolism Practical Theology, in the whole and in individual branches. These disciplines were also confirmed in the faculty statutes of 1903. The Faculty of Theology at the University of Berlin was the leader in Germany in the 19th century. Among the most important professors of that time were Schleiermacher, Marheineke, de Wette, Neander, Hengstenberg and Twesten. At the end of the 19th century the faculty reached a new heyday through the work of the professors von Harnack on church history and von Schlatter on systematic topics. In the 20th century, under the deanship of Professors Stolzenburg and Seeberg, strong tendencies towards National Socialism also emerged in the Faculty of Theology. Supporters of the Confessing Church (e.g. Dietrich Bonhoeffer) were given leave and students were strictly forbidden to participate in their events. D. Werner Gruehn, professor of systematic theology and religious psychology, and Dr. Ernst Schubert, lecturer for foreign Germanism and the Church, represented National Socialist ideology. Both dealt with problems of "German people growth abroad" in connection with church issues. In the years 1847 to 1870 an academic service was held during the semester. The first plans were made in 1810, but could not be realized. The request of the faculty to establish a university church in 1830 was also not answered by the ministry, until in 1847 the energetic efforts of Professor Dr. Nitzsch succeeded in establishing a Protestant preaching position at the university. The first service took place on the 3rd Sunday of Advent 1847 in the Dorotheenstädtische Kirche. There was also a seal for the university preacher. From 1847 to 1855 Professor D. Nitzsch served as university preachers, from 1855 to 1858 Professor Wuttke and the private lecturers Lic. Strauss and Dr. Erdmann served as interim lecturers, and from 1858 to 1870 Professor Steinmeyer. In the year 1870 this office was abolished, since in Berlin no university, but only a personnel municipality had formed and no need for the holding of an academic service seemed to exist any longer.(3) On 5.11.1916 it was however again taken up and held up to 1923 by all professors in the turn in the Kaiser Wilhelm memory church.(4) Only with effect from 1.12.1923 the student priest received again a fixed remuneration. Until then, aid had to be requested to cover the most urgent costs of renting the church space, among other things. The Academic Divine Service was financially supported by the state until 1938,(5) but until 1945 it was no longer announced in the university calendars and regarded as an internal church matter. The student chaplain worked at the university until 1945. The following institutes were affiliated to the Faculty of Theology: 1. Theological Seminary In the summer semester of 1812 the Theological Seminary was opened.(6) It made subjects of theological scholarship its task and was divided according to the regulations of 31.5.1812 into two sections, the philological and the historical. Of these, the philological was once again divided into the Old Testament exegesis and the New Testament exegesis. The historical department, originally divided into church history and dogma history, continued to exist after a few years as a church history department. The systematic department was added around 1920, but hardly any further details exist about it. Over the years, the subdivisions developed into independent departments, which were only nominally connected by the dean as director of the seminar. In 1931 there were tendencies to make the four departments independent, but this proposal was rejected by the Ministry for financial reasons.(7) The seminar was endowed with scholarships and bonuses and therefore had to limit the number of its members to twenty. Although at first there was no uninterrupted direction for each department, in the course of time a constant direction developed through certain conductors, so that the conductors were later appointed. The changing directors of the Old Testament department show the changing currents of contemporary theology. Their first leader was de Wette until 1819. After interim stages, Professor Hengstenberg took over the seminar in 1826 and carried out the exercises in Latin until the introduction of the German language in the winter semester of 1846/47. Dillmann, who had led the seminar since 1869, retained the Latin language for his written works. It was not until the winter semester of 1881/82 that they were partly submitted in German. From 1.4.1884, the premiums for the work from the sovereign wealth fund ceased to apply. Since the seminar was no longer a scholarship institution at the same time, the limitation of participants became superfluous. Since 18.1.1887 the seminar also received means for the establishment of a library. The New Testament Department of the Theological Seminary was opened on the proposal of the Faculty of Theology of 6.4.1812 by the Regulations of the Department of Cultures and Public Education of 31.5.1812 as a subdivision of the Philological Department. Schleiermacher was the first director of the philological department. In the New Testament section, larger sections of the New Testament were treated in conversational work and written works were prepared. A special library for New Testament exegesis was available. In 1908 the seminar was divided into the Proseminar for beginners and the Seminar for advanced students.(8) The Department of Church History was headed by Professor Neander until 1850. During this time there were extensive lectures from all periods of church history, especially the old church history, and treatises on published works. To obtain seminar scholarships or bonuses, written work had to be written in Latin. Since 1906 the seminary has been divided into a department for early church history and a department for more recent church history. The practical-theological seminar Plans for the establishment of a Homiletian Institute were already worked out by Professor Marheineke and presented to the Ministry on April 3, 1821. Marheineke saw the purpose of the institute as the exercise of the students in the elaboration and presentation of spiritual speeches and in the evaluation of the presented. The Ministry welcomed the establishment of a Homiletic Society, but wanted it to be regarded as a private institute until the participation of the students ensured sufficient income. Around 1862 Professor Büttner founded a homiletic seminary at the university and planned a catechetical one. Until 1873 he carried out the corresponding exercises as an honorary professor. On 1 October 1875, Professor Pfleiderer finally opened the Practical Theological Seminary.(9) According to the regulations of 31 March 1876, it served the students to prepare them for the future spiritual profession through suitable exercises. Students of the first four semesters were not admitted to the seminar. The seminar consisted of a homiletic and a catechetic section, where a weekly seminar service was held in the homiletic instead of the speech exercises. The chapel of the cathedral candidate abbey served as a place of practice. In the catechetical department at first only exercises were held after private consultation with teachers. Since 1906, however, by decree of the Provinzialschulkollegium, students were allowed to spend one hour a week in the upper class of a community school. From the winter semester of 1912/13 onwards, regular liturgical and church music exercises were carried out following the seminar. Professor Kaweran was the leader of these exercises.(10) After his death in 1918 Professor Biehle took over the leadership.(11) 3. The Christian-archaeological and epigraphic collection According to the decree of the Prussian Ministry for Spiritual, Educational and Medical Affairs of 23.5.1849, the Christian-archaeological art collection (also Christian Museum) was founded in June 1849 after many years of efforts by Professor Piper. Professor Piper, who served as director of the Christian-Archaeological Collection until his death on 29.11.1889, mainly collected costly originals, copies of pictures and casts of originals with the purpose of making the students familiar with early Christian history. At first he kept the works of art in his apartment, but on 22.4.1850 he transferred them to a room in the school building at Friedrichstraße 126 with the permission of the school authorities.(12) Since spring 1891 they have been in the west wing of the university.(13) With this collection Professor Piper was the first in the world to create a model for all universities. His successor, Professor Müller, supplemented the existing collection with plaster casts, photographs and other illustrations of early Christian and medieval monuments and from 1890 devoted himself particularly to building up a library. After the death of Professor Müller on 3.9.1912, Professor Deißmann took over the management of the collection on a representative basis and Professor Stuhlfauth on 1.4.1913. Since 31.3.1924 Professor Lietzmann was involved in the management alongside Professor Stuhlfauth. With effect from 1.10.1935 Professor Friedrich Gerke was appointed Director of the Seminar for Christian Archaeology and Art.(14) Under his direction the seminar was given the character of a research and teaching institute for the entire late antique and medieval archaeology and art research. In 1936 he started to build up a Nordic-Germanic department. After he was drafted into the military, Professor Hans Reinerth took over the management of the seminar on a representative basis and in 1944 initiated the relocation of the institute's library to the Dechtow manor. The teaching collection, publications and foreign correspondence were brought to Schloss Plattenburg / Prignitz. 4th Seminar for Post-Biblical Judaism On 13.11.1883 Professor Strack founded the seminar with the aim of driving "Jewish mission" and acquainting Christian theologians with Judaism, its literature and its essence.(15) It received no state support, but was greatly enriched by the donation of Professor Strack's library in 1918. After the death of Professor Strack, Professor Greßmann took over the directorship of the seminar on 1.12.1923, Professor Joachim Jeremias on 1.10.1928 and Professor Bertholet on 12.7.1929. On 1.10.1937 Professor Hempel was appointed managing director.(16) Since the summer semester of 1937 no more lectures have been held. Since the Institute has not been listed in the course catalogue since the summer semester of 1939, it was probably dissolved in the winter semester of 1938/39. The Institute was founded in 1917 by Professor Julius Richter as a seminar on mission history and renamed the Seminar on Mission Studies on 9 June 1931. Julius Witte was appointed Director on 6 November 1930. He remained so until his retirement on 1.4.1939.(17) From 1.4.1934 onwards, the Institute dealt not only with the holding of religious studies exercises but also with the study of Germanic religions and the Christianisation of the Germanic peoples. After the decree of 24.10.1935 it was therefore renamed the Institute for General History of Religion and Missionary Studies.(18) Since after the retirement of Professor Witte the appointment of the Chair of Missionary Studies was no longer intended by the Ministry, the Institute was closed on the basis of the decree of the Reich Ministry for Science, Education and Popular Education of 3.1.1944. The existing books were transferred to the university library. 6th Institute for Social Ethics and Science of Inner Mission The Institute, founded in 1927, was affiliated to the Theological Seminary, Department of Systematic Theology, and, according to its statutes of 25 July 1927, served the scientific promotion and instruction of students in the field of inner mission in connection with the problems of social ethics and welfare work. The first director, Professor Seeberg, was appointed by the Ministry of Science, Art and Popular Education in consultation with the Faculty of Theology and the Central Committee of the Inner Mission. He was assisted by a board of trustees composed of a representative of the ministry, a member appointed by the president of the German Protestant Kirchentag, a member of the Protestant Oberkirchenrat in Berlin, two lecturers from the Faculty of Theology and two members of the Central Committee of the Inner Mission. Assistants of the Institute participated in the meetings of the Board of Trustees. The institute was dissolved on the basis of the ministerial decree of 26.3.1938.(19) (1) Todt, Fr., in: Das Pfarrhaus, 1895, Nr. 11 u. 12: Die Theologische Fakultät der Universität Berlin, Berlin 1896 (2) Elliger, Walter: 150 Jahre Theologische Fakultät Berlin, Berlin 1960 (3) DZA Merseburg, Rep.76 Va Sekt.2 Tit.1 Nr.8 (4) DZA Potsdam, Reichserziehungsministerium, current no. 1239 Bl.3 (5) DZA Potsdam, Reichserziehungsministerium, current no. 1239 Bl.36 (6) Lenz, Max: Geschichte der königlichen Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin, Halle/Saale 1910, Volume 3, pp. 3-24 (7) HU Berlin, Archiv, Universitätskurator, current no. 792/1 (8) Lenz, ibid.

After comparison with the old administrative repertory, hardly any loss of files occurred. No cassations were made. The bequests of Professors Titius and Gerke, which were kept under the files, were spun off as separate holdings and the files from the period after 1945 were transferred to the administrative archive. Before being handed over to the dean's office, the files were administered in the university's central registry and filed according to the alphabetical keyword system. The repertory of the authorities, which had been set up accordingly, turned out to be completely inadequate, so that the stock was recorded and rearranged in the summer and autumn of 1966.

April 1848, die eine dreistufige Staatsverwaltung ein eingeleitetitete. 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

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)

Responsibility for construction has changed several times since the introduction of the Ministerial Constitution in Prussia in 1808. Since 1808 building matters were dealt with in the 2nd Section for Trade Police in the Ministry of the Interior, in 1814 they were transferred to the Ministry of Finance. In 1817 an independent Ministry for Trade, Commerce and Construction was formed from the corresponding section, which was dissolved again in 1825. After the dissolution of this ministry, the building cases were successively assigned to different ministries and were returned to the Ministry of Finance in 1837, where they remained until the creation of the Ministry of Public Works in 1878. The newly created Ministry was also responsible for railways (see: I. HA Rep. 93 E). As the central authority for building construction, railways, roads and hydraulic engineering, the Ministry and its subordinate authorities and bodies were responsible for planning, designing and supervising the execution of the works carried out by the State in these areas. The Ministry cooperated with the military building authorities in the construction of military buildings. When the Ministry of Public Works was dissolved in 1921, the railway administration and part of the hydraulic and road works were transferred to the Reich. The rest of the portfolio was divided among the Prussian Ministries of Trade and Industry, Agriculture, Domains and Forests, and Finance. The building construction was transferred to the Ministry of Finance and formed its own department there. Heinrich Waldmann has conducted a detailed investigation into the history of the ministry (including the previous authorities). Annex V of the paper also contains an overview of the periodicals published by the Ministry. The indexing and organization of the building department of the Ministry of Public Works was carried out in 1968 by the archivist Maria Lehmann under the guidance of the lecturer Heinrich Waldmann. At the same time, the files that had accumulated at other ministries before the creation of the Ministry of Public Works were brought together in this inventory. This also applies to files of the building construction department of the Ministry of Finance, in so far as they were proven to be assigned to the Ministry of Public Works. The stock Ministry of Public Works is divided into four departments: 1 Administration 2 Building construction 3 Road and bridge construction 4 Hydraulic engineering In the years 1995/96, the part of the stock remaining in Dahlem Ministry of Public Works (208 VE) was dissolved and for the most part included in the stock I. HA Rep. 93 B Ministry of Public Works incorporated. 61 file volumes were assigned to the Railway Department (I. HA Rep. 93 E). The production of a finding aid book was all the more necessary, since so far as finding aids only the finding aid card index provided in the year 1968, meanwhile badly readable, partly damaged and not yet finally edited was present. Some title recordings were checked for questionable spelling of individual place and person names or questionable dating on the basis of the tape in the outdoor magazine. In the stock Rep. 93 B the former stock Rep. 93 C was already incorporated in Merseburg. In the literature a part of the files of the Ministry of Public Works are still cited with the inventory designation Rep. 93 C and old file number. A corresponding concordance was therefore compiled in a separate volume. In 1992, 12 linear metres (405 units) of files from the Prussian Ministry of Public Works were transferred from the Bundesarchiv Potsdam to the Geheime Staatsarchiv PK. In November 1990, the files had been transferred to the Federal Archives under the provenance of the Reich Ministry from the Military Interim Archive Potsdam, into which they had entered in 1971 from the Administrative Archive of the National People's Army. These files, which have been valid since the Second World War for lost files, concern lighthouse and nautical marker matters on the Prussian coasts of the Baltic and North Seas in the period from 1800 to 1932. A large number of the volumes contain maps, site plans, technical drawings with scale specifications, construction sketches as well as blueprints of lighthouses and lighthouse parts or other inventions in nautical marker matters. About 100 files form the file group "Handakten des Seezeichenausschusses" . Most of these files were recorded by Dr Meyer-Gebel, Dr Strecke and the undersigned in the period 1992 to 1993. The incorporation of these archival documents and the technical processing of the magazine into the hydraulic engineering department took place in 1996. Furthermore, from the end of 1996 to 1998, 110 packages (905 units; approx. 15 linear metres) with the designation "Rep. 93 unprocessed access Magdeburg" were recorded, which were stored at the end of the inventory. The origin of the name "Zugang Magdeburg" is not comprehensible. In the inventory file "Economy and Transport" from the period from 1959 to 1974 no such information could be found. In contrast, in the file "Aktenzugänge, 1965-1974" (Access to Files, 1965-1974), it was possible to ascertain a case of a larger file transfer from the German Central Archive Potsdam in 1970. The archives mainly consist of hydraulic engineering documents, including river regulations, harbour, dune, bank and lock constructions, as well as memorandums, calculations, maps and plans (some coloured) on the construction and extension of waterways. These include 29 volumes from the Planning Chamber of the Ministry of Public Works, including an inventory extract of the maps and town plans available in the Planning Chamber. Oversized maps or plans as well as drawings were taken from the holdings and assigned to the XI HA General Map Collection. 211 file volumes, mainly journals and index volumes, have been incorporated into the Railway Department (I. HA Rep. 93 E) of the Ministry of Public Works inventory. When the files were entered into the Oracle database of the Secret State Archives, the data records of the holdings already entered under the old IT system were corrected or standardised. In February 1999 the magazine-technical processing took place. The Department of Hydraulic Engineering is now the most comprehensive collection of the Rep. 93 B Ministry of Public Works. Due to the frequent change of responsibility for the building industry, the holdings of the I. Main Department Rep. 77 Ministry of the Interior, Rep. 87 Ministry of Agriculture, Domains and Forests, Rep. 120 Ministry of Trade and Industry and Rep. 151 Ministry of Finance are to be consulted in addition to the holdings listed below. As part of the preparation of an inventory of the Prussian building administration until 1848, files from the Ministry of Public Works, among other things, were made accessible in detail.

Contents of the finding aid book: The vast majority of the archival materials in the university archive are files, especially those of the university administration. The previous tradition in the area of faculties, institutes and chairs was not subject to a systematic concept. In the future, these gaps will also be filled. The area of certificates is mainly represented by doctoral and postdoctoral certificates (duplicate or copy). The area of official records is represented by administrative journals and business diaries (1869 - 1919, 1966 - 1969). The Collections section is represented by a newspaper clipping collection (1945 - 1996), which was taken over by the RWTH Foreign Institute. The other collections of the Hochschularchiv, such as estates, photo collections or objects, are not included in the present index. For this purpose, the university archive has its own finding aids, some of which are already accessible online. Structure of the finding aid book: The recording and structuring of the archived files in the university archive was not carried out according to archival aspects of provenance, but according to a rather factual approach, similar to the librarian indexing. The files were recorded by person and subject and kept in two separate series of index cards. The index cards were essentially created during the term of office of the scientific director Prof. Dr. Reinhard Hildebrandt. According to the Numerus Currens of the signatures, the individual file was recorded according to an archival model with title and further details (according to the content and thesaurus notes). This information was recorded on a so-called location map. These location maps are reproduced here in MidosaXML presentation format. In the absence of a separation of provenance, the information from the location maps is displayed in a complete file. The structure or classification of the entire stock is based on the order signatures and has only very general references to content, which are briefly placed in front of the individual structure levels. The original assignment of the order signatures provided for corresponding gaps for later file access and caused today's jump numbers. For the internet presentation, the file was checked for information that was questionable under data protection law.

Preliminary remark 1: The classification has been changed to a purely numerical classification for retroconversion. The classification in the table of contents differs from the classification in the units of registration. The classification has been adopted within the index part units of description. Since the stock has received comparatively little attention in research so far, the old signatures have not been included. It may be necessary to look up the old finding aid book, which is part of the inventory. 2) The former item 19 (old Findbuch, p.359ff.): Courts in Düsseldorf (Kassationshof, Appellationshof, Kriminalgerichtshof, Kreisgericht (Tribunal 1.

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

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.

History of the Inventor: On 7 November 1918, the Armistice Commission (WAKO) was formed to conduct armistice negotiations with the Interalied Permanent Armistice Commission (Commission interalliée permanente d'armistice); initially under the direct authority of the Reich Chancellor, since February / March 1919 under the auspices of the Federal Foreign Office; dissolved on 30 November 1918.9.1920. Inventory description: Inventory history The inventory was transferred from the Federal Foreign Office to the Reichsarchiv in 1929 and recorded in the sequence of registry signatures. After the files had been removed during the Second World War, the German Central Archive Potsdam (later the Central State Archive Potsdam) took over the armistice commission after 1945. Concrete information on war-related outsourcing losses could not be provided due to a lack of finding aids. It can be seen from the signatures of the individual volumes of records transferred to the Reich Archives that the losses were considerable in some cases. The first processing took place in the Reichsarchiv from Jan. 1932 to Apr. 1933 and again until Aug. 1934. Archival evaluation and processing As the Auswärtiges Amt announced at the time, the files were subjected to a review before they were handed over to the Reichsarchiv, albeit only an external one. The numerous duplicates and transcript collections, which each department had created separately for itself, were sorted out. The library of the Federal Foreign Office took over the collection of printed matter. Parts of the files had to be filed in the Reichsarchiv, since the Wako registry mainly used Leitz files, many of which contained only a few documents. On the basis of the list of files, the Federal Foreign Office often combined 4-5 documents that belonged together objectively and were laid out separately into one file volume. Both on the file and on its back the subjects were listed, so that the decomposition of the processes in the Reichsarchiv could be carried out effortlessly. Files that contained documents were bound, files that contained only copies without marginalia were filed in folders. Documents of general content, such as minutes of the Reichsministerien meetings, have not been handed down in the Wako files. The Wako received its instructions from the Imperial Ministries, where the corresponding file material might also be found. It acted only in special matters, which were seen as a kind of cooperation with the Interalliated Permanent Armistice Commission (Commission interalliée permanente d'armistice, Cipa). According to the Federal Foreign Office's statements, only the countless applications for entry to Alsace-Lorraine and the occupied territory in the West were segregated from the processed files. The latter were handed over to the Entente powers in lists, dealt with by them according to lists and later answered by the Wako on forms. In its short history, the Ceasefire Commission had not been able to find a truly stable organizational form. As a result, no longer valid registration scheme could be found. Without a substantial revision of the content, the titles of the files were entered into the database, largely in nominal form. The content of too many of the notes on contents was cut back. Based on the traditional list of files and the organisational structure of the Wako, the present classification was created, which underwent some changes through the creation of series and volume sequences in the archives. Due to the mixing of several processes within a file, it was not always possible to assign them unambiguously to the classification scheme. The currently valid continuous signatures of the Armistice Commission were issued in the Federal Archives in the 1990s. The necessary work and changes for the database-supported implementation and the creation of an online version took place in 2006.

Brief description: The file tradition on Vaihingen begins in the 1820s and lasts until 1945. In 1942 Vaihingen was incorporated into Stuttgart together with the pipe incorporated in 1936. Circumference: 2543 units / 43.2 running metres 24 running metres. Content: Files: Municipal registry For the official registers, see fonds 926. Duration: 1822-1963 (1984, 1985) Hints for use: For the majority of files there are no restrictions on use, some documents are subject to personal blocking periods. Preface: The first documentary mention of Vaihingen dates back to the time around 1100, when the village was owned by the Counts of Calw, before it reached the Palgraves of Tübingen at the end of the 12th century. These sold Vaihingen in 1297 to the hospital in Esslingen. At the beginning of the 19th century the town came to Württemberg. In 1936 Vaihingen was merged with Rohr to form a municipality. On 1.4.1942 the incorporation to Stuttgart took place. The files recorded here were handed over to the City Archive by the Vaihingen District Office in June 1977. They run from 1822 to 1963 and have a circumference of 24 linear metres. The original order according to the Flattich file plan was retained. Further documents can be found in the inventory 926-Vaihingen. Files, which have accrued after the incorporation to Stuttgart, are registered in the inventory 863/1-Bezirksamt Vaihingen.
