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

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

Foreword: The E 130 c holdings at hand comprise personal files of employees of the State Ministry and the authorities directly subordinated to it, insofar as these employees left the service in May 1945. Staff only listed in lists or in basic salary forms were also included, but left in the original files, unless their own personal files were already available. The files of the officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which were taken over by the Ministry of State after the First World War or for whose pension claims it was responsible, were also integrated into the inventory. Due to the close interlocking of these files, however, a separation could not always be carried out completely; further personal details may therefore still have to be found in the files of the Foreign Ministry itself. Furthermore, from the business records of the Ministry of State, archival records were separated which, according to today's opinion, are to be regarded as pure personnel records (E 130 IV, No. 58, NI. 107). The documents on the ministers in file group B 1, C 1, C 2, C 4, C 7, C 8, C 9, C 11 remained in the holdings of documents on the ministers in file group B 1, C 1, C 4, C 7, C 8, C 9, C 11. Files on employees who left the civil service only after May 1945 or entered the civil service after this date are in the holdings of EA 1/13 (State Ministry, personnel files from 1945). The stock E 130c comprises 136 numbers. From November 1971 to June 1972 it was sorted and listed by archive inspector candidate Joachim Herzer. In May 1973, the archive employee Westenfelder recorded further files which arrived later and which also established the final order.Stuttgart, supplement: When the holdings E 46 were dissolved within the framework of the redrawing of the holdings of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the personal file of the Secret Chancellor's List Wilhelm Henne was found under the signature E 46 Bü 644, the provenance of which turned out to be that of the State Ministry. Therefore, the file was added to the inventory under the signature E 130c Bü 137. At the same time, the finding aid book was prepared for the Intranet.Stuttgart, in February 2007Johannes Renz

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

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