1. 1 The Dukes of Urach Counts of Württemberg: The Dukes of Urach Counts of Württemberg are a branch line of the House of Württemberg. In 1800 the fourth son of Duke Friedrich Eugen von Württemberg, Duke Wilhelm von Württemberg, married a court lady of his mother: twenty-three-year-old Wilhelmine von Tunderfeld-Rhodis. According to the house laws, this marriage with a woman who did not come from the high nobility was uneven; Duke Wilhelm therefore renounced the succession to the throne for his descendants on August 1, 1801. On 20 April 1801 the reigning Duke Friedrich, Duke Wilhelm's eldest brother, had already recognised the marriage as a full marriage to the right hand and determined that the descendants of Duke Wilhelm should bear the name Counts of Württemberg. Thus a new branch line of the House of Württemberg was created. The second son, Count Wilhelm, who also bore the name Wilhelm, was raised to the rank of first Duke of Urach by King Karl in 1867. The new ducal dignity was hereditary in the male tribe; the corresponding elevation of the younger children to the princedom was to underline the close connection of the branch line with the main line and determine its rank immediately after the royal house before all other class masters of the kingdom. Through the conversion of Wilhelm I to the Catholic denomination of his wife and children in 1862, the House of Urach became a consciously Catholic dynasty of princes from the very beginning. With the construction of the Lichtenstein Castle on the Albrand above the Echaztal in 1840/41, the Duke, who died in 1869, set himself a lasting monument. All further details about the House of Urach and its individual members can be found in the article by Wolfgang Schmierer, Die Seitenlinie der Herzöge von Urach (since 1867). In: The House of Württemberg - a biographical encyclopedia. Edited by Sönke Lorenz, Dieter Mertens and Volker Press. Stuttgart, Berlin, Cologne 1997 pp. 376 - 398. The genealogy reproduced after the preface is also taken from this. 2.1 The total holdings of the Archives of Duke of Urach Count of Württemberg: The holdings listed here, the estate of Wilhelm II Duke of Urach Count of Württemberg, represent part of the total archives of the family. This was kept at Schloss Lichtenstein until 1987. Due to a deposit agreement between H.S.H. Karl Anselm Duke of Urach Count of Württemberg as representative of the Herzog family of Urach Count of Württemberg and the State of Baden-Württemberg, represented by the Hauptstaatsarchiv Stuttgart, dated 14 July / 5 August 1987, it has been deposited in the Hauptstaatsarchiv Stuttgart since then. Because of their literary references, parts of the documents of Wilhelm I and Count Alexander were simultaneously handed over to the German Literature Archive in Marbach, where they are stored under the signature D 88.6. The archive was completely unsorted when it was transferred to the Main State Archives. Nor were there any finding aids that could have been reused. Only a part of the documents is listed in a directory of 1927/28, which was included in the delivery; in addition, the order on which this directory is based was fundamentally destroyed at an unknown time. A large part of the material was unpacked or stored in open cartons. In 1995, Archive Director Dr. Wolfgang Schmierer carried out an initial inspection, tidying and preliminary packaging of the material. He subdivided the entire collection into partial collections, to which he assigned signatures corresponding to the numbering of the family members in his article on the Herzog von Urach Graf von Württemberg family, which was written parallel to the work on order. The GU 1 et seq. sub-funds to be structured in more detail comprise documents on real estate and asset management. The GU 100 sub-collection contains foreign archives and collections. The GU 101 - 134 partial holdings were created as personal estates of individual family members and GU 201 - 203 of related parties. Some overlaps were inevitable. If documents were kept throughout the period of activity of a single duke, they were assigned to the signatures GU 1 et seq. in the order An overview of the current status of the subdivision into partial holdings can be found below. It is possible that the structure will be modified in the course of further development work. An impressive record of Wolfgang Schmierer's work from February 10, 1995 to March 21, 1996 (Kanzleiakten 7511.5-2-D.1: Erschließung des Archivs der Herzöge von Urach) provides information on the orderly work carried out by Wolfgang Schmierer. 2.2 The subportfolio GU 117: The following subportfolio GU 117 Herzog Wilhelm II. von Urach comprises documents, which Wolfgang Schmierer has formed in the course of his order work Wolfgang Schmierers. Duke Wilhelm II (1864 - 1928) was born as the first son of Wilhelm I and his second wife Princess Florestine of Monaco in Monaco and already at the age of five the second Duke of Urach. He entered the traditional military career and was commander general of the Generalkommandos z.b.V. in the First World War. No. 64 and General of the Cavalry. In 1927 the volume Die 26. Infanterie-Division im Weltkrieg 1914 - 1918, Teil I 1914 -1915, edited by him, appeared in the series Württembergs Heer im Weltkrieg. Wilhelm II. ran several times for a vacant throne: 1910 for Monaco, 1913 for the new Kingdom of Albania, in the war for Poland and for a Grand Duchy of Alsace-Lorraine and 1918 for the planned Kingdom of Lithuania. Arnold Zweig used the episode of his election as King of Lithuania, in which he was given the name Mindaugas II, in his 1937 novel Einsetzung eines Königs. In 1922 Wilhelm, who devoted himself to scientific activities after the war, received his doctorate in philosophy from the University of Tübingen with a dissertation on the urban geography of Reutlingen. Wilhelm II married Amalie Herzogin in Bavaria in 1892 (1865 - 1912). The marriage produced four sons (Wilhelm III, Karl Gero, Albrecht, Eberhard) and five daughters (Maria Gabriela, Elisabeth, Carola Hilda, Margarethe, Mechthilde). In his second marriage he married Wiltrud, née Princess of Bavaria, in 1924, and since the partial holdings of Duke Wilhelm II are particularly extensive and of particular importance in many respects (applications for the throne, constitutional status of the House of Urach, World War I), Wolfgang Schmierer, in agreement with the Landesarchivdirektion Baden-Württemberg, made the decision to place his indexing at the beginning of the indexing of the entire holdings and to apply for third-party funding. Within the framework of a project of the Stiftung Kulturgut Baden-Württemberg, which we would like to take this opportunity to thank sincerely for its support, the temporary employee Hansjörg Oswald was able to demetalise, open up and package GU 117 in the period from November 1995 to July 1997. Wolfgang Schmierer was personally responsible for the support. Due to the serious illness, which he finally succumbed to on 7 October 1997, Wolfgang Schmierer was unable to complete the classification and final editing of the title recordings, which he had largely worked on. This was done by the undersigned in May 2000 with the support of Katharina Ernst, a trainee archivist. At the highest level, the holdings are divided into civil and military documents. The sequence of title recordings within the individual items corresponds to the chronology. This also applies to correspondence files; since these have been kept very differently over the years, they have not been formed into series. After development and packaging, the GU 117 subportfolio comprises 1354 tufts and volumes totalling 36.4 linear metres with a duration of 1864 to 1929. The use by third parties is regulated as follows in the Depositalvertrag: The consent of the head of the Herzog von Urach Graf von Württemberg family must be obtained before the archive can be used by third parties. Conditions may be imposed on consent. If consent is not refused or restricted, the management of the Main State Archives - within the framework of the regulations for use of the state archives of Baden-Württemberg - regulates the use. In any case the users are to be obligated to respect the personal rights. Stuttgart, 20 June 2000Dr. Robert Kretzschmar Ltd. Archive Director

The beginnings of the settlement of the "Wauler Dorps", as the older people still call the village centre today, probably date back to the 10th century. The construction of the front courtyard belonging to Deutz Abbey and the construction of the parish church in the 11th century created the conditions for the parish of Wald. His territory included the later communities of Gräfrath, Wald and Ohligs. In the following years new settlements around the Walder church could have created a small town. But the development of the monastery founded in 1187 in Gräfrath led to a settlement there, which was granted freedom rights in 1402. Thus Gräfrath, and not Wald with its parish church, became the urban centre in the parish of Wald. Only after the sale of the monastery property, which surrounded the church from all sides except in the west, and the extension of the country road, which connected Wald and Gräfrath with the Rhine port of Monheim, did the "Wauler Dorp" get a rounded village centre at the beginning of the 19th century through new buildings around the church. In 1808 Wald became an independent municipality, in 1816 the mayor's office Wald had 2767 inhabitants. Their municipality stretched from Weyer in the west to Foche in the east. In the southeast, Wald am Schlagbaum and Mangenberg bordered Solingen. By the middle of the 19th century the population had grown to 5278 inhabitants. In 1856 Wald was granted town rights and the main source of income for the Walder population for centuries, as in the entire Solingen region, was the production of small-scale cutlery. But with the umbrella manufacture industry, Wald was already able to make the leap into the factory age at the beginning of the 19th century. In the course of the high industrialization further modern metal enterprises were added starting from 1870. Tool factories, iron and metal foundries, lock and key factories, drop forges and factories for bicycle parts were established. The Walder railway station, built in 1887, played a particularly important role in the economic upswing, although it was only located on the side line from Solingen to Vohwinkel, known as the "Corkscrew Railway". Not even the neighbouring cities of Cologne and Düsseldorf could be reached directly. For industrial freight traffic, however, it was of extraordinary importance at the turn of the century. New factories and new jobs led to a rapid increase in the Walder population. In 1910 the town had 25311 inhabitants. The urban lifeline of the city was the main street between the railway station in the east and the Catholic church built in 1831/33 in the west. The Protestant church Wald formed the centre of urban life. Trade, services (Walder Bank, savings bank, post office) and administration (town hall) were concentrated in their vicinity. Since 1899 the tram has been winding its way through the narrow town centre. With the steady increase of individual motorized traffic, the solution of the problems on the roads in the "Wauler Dorp" became more and more urgent. In particular, the narrowness of the "Walder Schlauchs", as the part of the main street between the Protestant church and the junction of the Poststrasse - today Wiedenkamper Strasse - is popularly known, caused city planners and architects headaches even before the 1929 city unification. In order to relieve the main road of through traffic, a bypass was planned that would lead from the Catholic church to the railway station. This project could not be realised due to the world economic crisis and the Second World War. It was not until 1961 that the narrowest section of the Walder Hauptstraße, now known as Friedrich-Ebert-Straße, was relieved of through traffic by the construction of a small bypass. For this purpose, a large part of the historic buildings around the Protestant church were demolished, the "Walder Rundling" disappeared. The "Walder Schlauch", called Stresemannstraße since 1962, was converted into a pedestrian zone in 1978. At the same time, the renewed planning of a southern bypass of the entire town centre began. In 1982 the first construction measures of the Walder urban redevelopment were started. Citizens' initiatives fought on the one hand against the demolition of old houses in the centre of the "Wauler Dorps" and on the other hand against the extension of Liebermannstraße to the southern bypass around Wald. The city administration defended the redevelopment. Only in this way could Friedrich-Ebert-Straße be freed from through traffic (25,000 cars a day) and the Walder town centre be restored to its old form. In the summer of 1998, the completion of the new "Walder Rundling", which with its commercial and residential buildings follows the form of the historical model, marked the completion of the district redevelopment. But forest does not only offer an old village centre and industrial culture from the time of the high industrialization. With the Itter Valley, the district has an area which until the 19th century, with its Schleifkotten on the Itterbach, was one of the most important sources of income for the Walder. With the loss of function of the hydropower-driven workshops, the Ittertal valley was transformed into a recreational and leisure area. As early as 1914, the entrepreneur Carl-Friedrich Ern from the Walde region, who had his company on the Wittkulle, had a public lido built in the Ittertal valley. In 1936 the city of Solingen took over responsibility for the Ittertal open-air swimming pool and in 1975 an ice rink was added. In order to avoid its closure, the recreational facility was transferred to the non-profit association "Sport- und Kulturzentrum Ittertal" in 1987. In the immediate vicinity of the Ittertal lido, the "Fairytale Forest" opened its doors at the beginning of the 1930s. For decades it has been a popular destination for young and old, and for some time now new operators have been trying to revive its former attractiveness. Another remarkable monument in the district is the Jahnkampfbahn, a stadium for 10,000 spectators, opened on 27 May 1928. The area in the upper Krausener Bachtal was already acquired by the town of Wald in the years 1912 to 1920, originally to create a park in the valley marshed by sewage. From 1921 to 1926 the area between two road dams was made usable by emergency works. The construction work on the actual sports facility then took two years. With the already existing Wald-Merscheid gymnasium in the west and the erection of the Fallenen memorial in the east, a connected recreation and play area was created in the immediate vicinity of the city centre. The history of the development of the collection After the town unification in 1929, the old registries of the formerly independent towns were first accommodated in the newly established Solingen town archive under the direction of Richard Erntges in the new administration building Cronenberger Straße (formerly WKC). None of the formerly independent cities had previously had their own archives. Erntges - with the help of auxiliary staff - developed these six stocks according to a uniform file plan. Therefore there are gaps in the systematics in all files of the formerly independent cities. In most cases, the individual classification group titles also served as file titles, usually only differentiated according to "generalia" (usually without local subjects) and "specialia" (the files created by the respective city administration for the local occur. Some files, which according to the file plan or tape count had originally once been available, were included in the directory by Erntges because he probably had the hope that the files could possibly appear again. To date, this has not happened, so that in these cases we have to assume cassations before 1929. In the search book you will find the note "empty" in these files. For reasons of completeness, the data records from the "Historical Archive" were also duplicated into this collection, the term of which ends after 1808. Likewise a part of the files (above all school chronicles and trade or restaurant concessions) ends only after 1930, thus correctly belongs to the stock SG. A further distortion has been omitted until today due to time reasons. Only in the forest stock were notes recorded by Mrs. Gisela Jacobs at the end of the 1980s. May 2008 Ralf Rogge

On the history of the authorities: On 1.4.1902 the Adelberg district office, which was subordinate to the Schorndorf forestry office (old order), was made independent as the Adelberg forestry office (new order), the Adelberg forestry district part of the Schorndorf forestry association. These changes took place within the framework of the reorganization of the forestry administration of the Kingdom of Württemberg ordered by law of 19.2.1902 (Reg.Bl. p. 37). All forestry offices (old order) had been dissolved and the forestry offices (new order) formed from the previous district offices had been directly subordinated to the Forest Directorate. The Forest Directorate maintained supervision of the forestry offices even after the transfer of forestry and hunting to the Reich in 1934. With the establishment of the state administration after 1945, the Adelberg forestry office was integrated into the district of the Nordwürttemberg forestry directorate (since 1.10.1973 Stuttgart forestry directorate). Not affected by measures to abolish smaller forestry offices for a long time, the Adelberg forestry office was then one of the 45 forestry offices which were dissolved on 30 September 1975 as part of the organisational reform of the state forestry administration following the administrative reform. In accordance with an order issued by the state government on 1.7.1975 (Ges.Bl. p. 549), the Adelberg forest district was divided between the state forestry offices of Göppingen and Schorndorf, which were re-established with effect from 1.10.1975. On the history of the collection: The present collection consists of the documents of the Adelberg Forestry Office and the files of the Forestry Office dissolved in 1902. Schorndorf and the Adelberg district office. The State Archives Ludwigsburg has this document (together with the documents from the Forest Office a.O. Schorndorf adult files - see Bü 251) in two deliveries: On 19.8.1971 the Adelberg Forestry Office handed over 4.2 linear metres of files (Tgb.-No. 1291/71); a further 10.6 linear metres of files were added on 7.1.1976 after the dissolution of the Forestry Office (Tgb.-No. 20/76). Both delivery lists recorded the documents in the order of the file plan of the state forestry administration of 1955. The forestry office Adelberg had converted its entire file stock (including the old registration) to this modern file plan. Previously, the documents had been registered according to the norm file plan introduced around 1902 ("Repertorium für die Forstamts Registratur" - cf. Bü 238). In 1971, the collection still bearing the archival signature F 118 la was given the designation FL 605/3 - Forstamt n.O. after the 1974 series had been restructured. Adelberg. During the archival processing, the records of the Proveniences Forstamt a.O. were preserved. Schorndorf and Revieramt Adelberg from the stand FL 605/3 and in connection with stand F 113 I as F 113 II - Forstamt a.O. Schorndorf - merged (cf. preliminary remark F 113 II). The signatures of these archival records, which were recorded parallel to the inventory of the Adelberg Forestry Office, as well as its FL 605/3 signatures were transferred to the delivery registers; these can thus be used as concordances. In addition to the preproveniences remaining in the inventory FL 605/3, the forestry offices Schorndorf and Revieramt Adelberg, prefiles of the forestry offices Lorch and Hohengehren as well as the camera office Schorndorf were to be found. Processor's report: Due to its closed tradition, the Adelberg Forestry Office was to serve as a prime example of a Württ. forestry office and the holdings, not affected by any archival cassation, were to be made accessible in an exemplary manner. The title recordings are therefore sometimes very detailed, even in the case of archival records of a small size. The final bundle numbers (= order number) were assigned according to numerus currens. The structure of inventory FL 605/3 is based on the file plan of the Landesforstverwaltung Baden-Württemberg, l. Edition 1955, additions up to 1973. The structure is preceded by an overview of the structure of this decimal plan. In order to keep the detailed inventory structure manageable, it was necessary to combine archival records with different file numbers in one category for poorly documented groups of files (cf. parentheses of the classification). each title record is provided with a consecutive serial number in addition to the order number, which is referenced in the local and person index created by computer at the end of the repertory. A concordance additionally leads back from the order number to the order number. The data in the place index correspond to volume VIII of the series "Das Land Baden-Württemberg. Official description by districts and parishes". The place name Adelberg has only been taken into account in connection with the terms Gemeinde or Markung Adelberg; forest districts, Hüten, Fluren, etc. within the Adelberg forest district are also not excluded from the place index. Restrictions on use may arise in accordance with the applicable provisions due to the duration of the stock up to 1975 and due to the personal documents contained therein (including personal files). The use of the aerial photographs kept in tufts 667 is also subject to restrictions. The order and the drawing of the inventory was carried out by Mrs. Anita Hundsdörfer from June 1979 to September 1980 under the direction of the undersigned. The structure and completion of the repertory could not be completed until 1987 due to several changes in the responsible editors. The text of the repertory was recorded by Mrs. Hildegard Aufderklamm on EDP, the print of the finding aid book was made at the Landesarchivdirektion in Stuttgart. 1506 tufts = 9.4 m. The inventory FL 605/3 comprises 1506 tufts.

Characteristics: The collection 229 is the most important of the General State Archives in terms of size and fascicle number (118,938 numbers). As its name suggests, it contains "special files of the smaller offices, towns and rural communities", i.e. provenances from the numerous territories and dominions which, at the beginning of the 19th century, were wholly or partly absorbed in the then newly created Grand Duchy of Baden. It is a classic, topographically related pertinence stock. According to the Brauer archive regulations of 1801, in the 19th century the "special files" or "specialia" - local subjects - falling under the "special categories" of the individual places - were filed according to alphabetical categories borrowed from the legal terminology of that time and chronologically sorted within these categories. Inventory history: Initially, several special file collections existed side by side, such as Baden-Baden, Baden-Durlach, Pfalz, Breisgau, Bruchsal and a forest file archive. It was not until 1874/75, in the interest of easier handling, that these previously independent special departments were merged into a single collection comprising around 14,000 volumes, and in 1878, the indexing of these collections began. Although the principle of provenance had also been applied in the General State Archives since 1887, the monstrous collection of local records continued to be preserved and experienced numerous growths until the 1930s. The inventory number plan introduced in 1939 gave him the number 229, which is still valid today; before, however, the files of offices and cities (inventories 129 to 228) had been spun off. The individual fascicles were numbered consecutively in the middle of the 1950s. However, the indexing work was not completed until the mid-1970s. Provenances: At its core, the collection comprises documents that fell to Baden with the archives of previous territories or monasteries, but also files that, as far as they refer to places in Baden, were extracted from Bavaria or Württemberg to Baden. This tradition is more or less poor in the case of places which belonged to the former dominions of the nobility mediatized in 1806, because the nobility - both the princely and count's lords (Wertheim, Leiningen, Fürstenberg etc.) as well as the members of the former imperial knighthood (in Odenwald, Kraichgau, Ortenau, Hegau etc.) - were left with their archives; corresponding material is therefore to be found in the respective archives of the nobility. Contents: The temporal spectrum of the tradition preserved in fonds 229 essentially ranges from the 17th to the early 19th century. It is rare to find an original document from the 15th century in it, but much more frequently one comes across such documents from the 16th century. From old habit, however, files of the 19th century were often also sorted here. The whole range of village legal life is represented in terms of content. Indexing: The index presented below, compiled with great care by Reinhold Rupp in 1990 and only carefully revised for the Internet presence, cannot, of course, index the contents of the individual files kept at the various locations. Rather, it aims to give researchers interested in local history an impression of the amount of material available in each case, according to the number of fascicles, the amount in running metres and the duration of the tradition. The keyword-like mention of older political contexts is understood as an indication of which other holdings of the General State Archives might require further research. The description of the content highlights selected subjects, places and persons, stating the respective duration, as far as these can claim interest beyond the actual local history. In addition, the local rulers are mentioned, so that in many cases the relevant provenances are also mentioned; the main provenance is occasionally highlighted.The introductory information on the individual communes is structured according to a fixed structure: current administrative affiliation: commune/county district, in brackets: information on which district office the town belonged to in 1898Landesherchaft around 1800 / Ortsherrschaft, if different from the Landesherrschaft (Knight canton for knightly towns)associated places of residencescope according to number of fascicles (duration) Scope in running time. m Contents: e.g. subject, place and personal matters (in selection)PolicyholdersProvenience (in part)The information is identical with: The holdings of the General State Archive Karlsruhe.

1. on the history of the map collection: the Hohenlohe Central Archives holds an important and extensive collection of printed maps from the 16th to 19th centuries, some of which date back to the 20th century. This quantity, which is unusual for a smaller archive, can be explained by the many and varied tasks of the highlohish administrations. But more than that, it is explained by the various functions and inclinations of members of the Princely House itself. Most of the cards were collected for military reasons. Several counts and princes were in high positions in foreign military services, e.g. Count Philipp von H.-Neuenstein (1550 - 1606) as general of Wilhelm v. Oraniens in Dutch services, Prince Heinrich August zu H.-Ingelfingen (1715 - 1796) as Reichsfeldmarschall and general field witness of the Franconian Imperial Circle or his son Friedrich Ludwig (1746 - 1818) as Prussian infantry general and governor of Breslau and Bay-reuth. However, maps were also produced or collected to secure and clarify sovereign rights (e.g. hunting and forestry) and territorial claims. Further reasons for the collecting activities were the geographical (travel maps: "foreign regions"), economic, scientific and educational (school maps) interests of the collectors. These varied interests also explain why the maps on hand are not limited to the area of Württemberg and Hohenlohe. Namely comparatively many maps to the German, European and international area are included. The extent of the collection could have benefited positively from the participation of the House of H.-Oehringen (old) in one of the renowned Nuremberg map publishers - the "Homännische Officin" or the "Homännische Erben". A good half of the cards come from this publisher. The temporal emphasis lies in the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century. From the middle of the 19th century onwards, the collection became considerably thinner, but with individual specimens it reached as far back as the 1960s. Either cards have been purchased less since the 1850s or are still in use by the respective princely administrations. War losses or wear and tear can also be expected. The political caesura of 1806 does not play a decisive role in connection with the collecting activity. The changed tasks of the princely houses from the middle of the 19th century onwards. All in all, the collection of maps documents the broad political and cultural interest and significance of the House of Hohenlohe during the period in which the collection was created. It is to be assumed that map collections were built up in various Hohenlohe houses and also kept in the castles concerned, mostly probably in the library. With the relocation of all Hohenlohe archives to Neuenstein, the printed maps from the various castles were transferred to the Hohenlohe Central Archives. Here they were combined to a stock of printed maps. The origin of the maps was not considered to be significant and as a rule was not documented in any way. This must have taken place immediately after the end of the war, since in 1951 a list-like inventory of the holdings was already available. In the course of the relocation of the various line archives to Neuenstein, over 3100 printed maps gradually came together. 2. on the history of the collection and its processing: during the first provisional processing, the compilation of a list under the Princely Archivist Karl Schumm in 1951, the majority of the maps already available at that time were combined to form a complete collection, as already mentioned, without regard to provenance and ownership. The machining was carried out according to the numerus currensprinciple. The order was based on an alpha-betic ranking by country, region and place names and the geographical classification was based on superficial aspects. Often, in the course of the order, map connections were torn apart and even maps from outside the stock - hand-drawn - were included in the list. The signatures were assigned according to the geo-graphical classification. The signature consisted of a capital letter (W for world maps, E for European maps and D for German maps) and a sequential number. For example, a European map has the signature "E 80" or a map of Germany "D 46". In the case of sequences, lower-case letters have been added after the number, for example in the case of a map of France: "E 206 a - cc". Some war cards were provided with Roman numerals, e.g. a card of Hungary with "K X/ 161". This type of signature assignment was not very useful for appropriate use. Cards were often difficult to find. A careful revision of the map collection was urgently needed, especially as several printed maps that had been added later were not taken into account. However, it was no longer possible to reconstruct original provenances, as there is no indication of their origin from the various archives. With the exception of one group (H.-Kirchberg: "Sch[rank], T[isch] or F[ach], Sch[ublade]"), the old signatures do not provide any reliable information about the provenance. The pre-signatures were probably already assigned at the time the maps were purchased. They are divided into groups according to simple number assignment ("131", "No. 131", "1311/2" or "Nro 131"), according to combinations with upper and lower case letters and numbers ("Dd x S.138"), according to combinations with Roman and Arabic numerals and letters ("II M. 10" or "605 R. I") or according to locature (H.-Kirchberg: "S. 642, T. 2, Sch. 3"). For many cards several signatures were assigned. They point to older resistance structures. A few maps and atlases, the origin of which could be clearly determined, were removed from the holdings for ownership reasons and returned to the relevant line archives. The main part of the maps is probably of h.-kirchberg origin, enriched with a considerable number of maps of the Dutch/Belgian area from probably Württemberg-neuenstädtisches Besitz (h.-kirchberg heritage). The remainder of the maps, which could not be defined more precisely, was distributed among the various other line archives. 22 drawers, 92 cartons/boxes with approx. 31/2 linear metres of shelving, 59 rolled maps, 38 volumes and booklets and 4 folders were first viewed prior to drawing. For technical reasons, the cards were first taken from the cupboard drawers, then the pieces stored in cartons or boxes, and finally the volumes on the shelves were recorded according to the numerus-current-principle. In the process, hand-drawn maps, pictures, construction plans and printed maps from the archives of Langenburg, Waldenburg and Öhringen were also noticed. They were separated and recorded for a later inventory or supplementation of the inventory of hand-drawn maps. Apart from a small group of atlases and military maps, the remaining printed maps still found in the Hohenlohe Central Archives are mainly field, forest and surveying maps from the archives of Langenburg, Waldenburg and Öhringen. They, too, were not included in the inventory of printed maps, but were prepared for their own holdings, and once all the maps had been indexed, a classification for the holdings had to be established. For practical reasons and in order to facilitate access for users, the breakdown was mainly geographical. An order by subject would have led to greater opacity due to the size and nature of the maps. The map collection is divided into thirteen categories. It is progressed from the large to the small space: World; continents without Europe, with subitems Africa, America, Asia and Australia/Oceania; Europe, with subdivision into individual, non-German countries; and the area Germany and former German Empire, with subdivision into individual territories and regions. Headings 7 to 13 include maps that cannot be clearly allocated geographically (transnational theatres of war), special areas (field maps, city maps, canals, natural phenomena) or the category "Other". Compromises had to be made with the classification in order to arrange the stock according to modern geographical criteria. With the exception of a Russian atlas with European and Chinese territories [No. 7], the classification into world and continental maps could be carried out without complications. It was more difficult to classify the continent of Europe and European countries. Two problem areas stood in the way of simple, uniform processing. On the one hand, the grouping of maps that span space and countries or of maps with two or more different representations on one sheet; on the other hand, the allocation of maps with changed historical spaces. The classification of map sheets with several representations was problem-free again. They were sorted by the larger geographical area. For example, a map showing Europe on the front and the German Empire on the back was assigned to the group Europe [No. 65]. The transnational maps were more problematic. Thus a subgroup "Alps" had to be formed immediately with the first division of the individual European countries. It comprises the maps of the French-Italian-Swiss and the German-Swiss-Austrian border regions, but without the group of maps of the narrower region of the Swiss-Austrian Alps, which were assigned to the categories "Switzerland" and "Austrian Hereditary Lands". The group "Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg" did not simply fit into a given scheme in terms of both spatial and historical classification. The Belgian-Luxembourg region changed its political affiliation several times during the period under study, from about 1660 to 1840: the Spanish Netherlands until 1715, then the Austrian Netherlands, French during the revolutionary period, the Kingdom of the United Netherlands from 1815 to 1830, and only then the Kingdom of Belgium. With some justification, the maps could also have been assigned to a group 'Spain', the division 'Germany and Central Europe' with the subgroup 'Austrian Hereditary Lands' or 'France' if there were no overlaps with the area of the narrower Netherlands [Republic of the United Netherlands, Kingdom of the Netherlands]. Thus, the maps relating to the Belgian and Dutch regions could only be formed into a separate group according to modern geographical, historically inaccurate aspects. France, which had historically and geographically undergone relatively continuous development, could be divided into the sub-groups of France as a whole and individual regions, including areas whose political affiliation was not entirely clear and only later belonged definitively to France, such as Lorraine, Alsace, Corsica, Savoy and Nice. Note swert is with this group the first topographical atlas of France [No. 138] by Cassini, of which 108 of altogether 175 sheets are available in the copy kept here. The subgroup "Territories of France" was first created alphabetically and then chronologically. The situation was similar with the area of Italy, which was treated as a single area and could also be divided into the categories of Italy as a whole and individual territories according to modern political-geographical aspects, including the archipelago of Malta. More extensive measures had to be taken in the Western European areas. Great Britain and Ireland as well as Spain and Portugal with Gibraltar in their overall representation were mostly depicted on a map sheet. Therefore a division into the groups "Great Britain and Ireland" and "Iberian Peninsula" was appropriate. The area of Eastern and Southeastern Europe posed problems because the territorial affiliations and borders permanently changed during the period from about 1650 to 1880. From the temporary affiliation of the Duchies of Kurland and Livonia and the permanent affiliation of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania to the Kingdom of Poland, for example, the maps of this area were merged into the section "Poland and Baltic Countries". Because of the political changes, in particular the partition of Poland, compromises had to be made. Thus a general division "Kingdom of Poland and Grand Duchy of Lithuania" was formed, which covers the greater area as a whole. The great "Carte de la Pologne" [No. 230] from 1772 by Rizzi-Zannoni should be mentioned as a rarity. However, in order to do justice to the political vicissitudes in terms of the size of the cards, two further subgroups were formed. The "Baltic Duchies" section linked the above-mentioned duchies with the Duchy of Estonia, which was ethnically and geographically but not politically part of the Polish-Lithuanian area. The classification of the map group "Kingdom of Galicia" was more difficult. For historical reasons it could have been added to the 'Österreichische Erblande' division by accepting the fragmentation of the geographical context. In order to reach a reasonable compromise, however, it was assigned to the Polish area as a separate group. More difficult was the treatment of the cards of the Russian Empire. A structure that would have corresponded to the given order was only possible with restrictions. Russia, which stretches with large parts of its area over Asia, could just as well have been assigned to this division. However, since the country's focus was and is in Europe, the "Russia" group could be integrated into the group of European countries. The classification of the maps surrounding the Ottoman Empire [Turkey] and the neighbouring regions proved to be an almost insoluble task: in addition to maps of the Ottoman Empire, which was divided into a European and an Asian part, there are a number of map sets in this group representing the Russian-Turkish-Austrian theatres of war of the 18th and early 19th centuries on the Balkans and in the northern Black Sea regions. In addition there are maps with overlaps of the different southeast European territories from this time. Compromises had to be accepted in this area in order not to tear up map connections. Thus, in order to cover the whole area, a division "Southeast Europe, Black Sea and Asia Minor" was formed, divided into four sub-groups: the group "Balkans and Greece" is composed of the various South Slavic, Romanian and Greek territories and Danube maps, the second group comprises "Hungary (with Transylvania)"], the third group "Turkey (Ottoman Empire)" and the fourth group "Several Countries" [04.11.04.] as a collection basin of maps which cannot be clearly assigned, consisting of maps of the theatres of war in the Balkans and Black Sea region and of maps of the southern Russian-Ukrainian rivers. Maps of the Crimea/Tauria were, if they are not part of the war theatre maps, classified in the category Russia. The Nordic states with their provinces, on the other hand, could be uniformly included in the Greater Scandinavia area, especially as several of the countries were each depicted on one sheet. The same procedure was followed for the "Switzerland" group. The "Atlas Suisse" [No. 280], which was split up into individual maps and registered individually, could be merged, making it somewhat easier to classify the maps into "Germany and Central Europe" and "Territories and Parts of Germany". Here, too, compromises had to be made between political-geographical classification and historical affiliation. Should maps, which today represent non-German countries, be integrated into the group of European countries or into the German territories? And should maps, e.g. of the Reich circles, which covered several territories, be formed as a separate group or not? The classification was carried out primarily according to historical-geographical aspects, since a classification under modern political aspects would not have corresponded in any way to the map statements. The structure was based on a mixture of regional areas and Histo-rical territories, with the maps of the Imperial circles being classified according to the categories of the respective regions. The maps assigned to the category "Germany" essentially cover the territory of the old German Reich, partly in sections (atlas fragments), according to a relatively clear order pattern, while the category "Territories of Germany" again demanded greater concessions. The structure of the "Bayern" group was simple. It includes only the territory of the Duchy, the Electorate and the Kingdom of Bavaria. Here you can find the oldest maps in the collection, the "Bavarian Land Tables" by Phillipp Appian from the year 1568 [No. 379 and 380]. "Bohemia and Moravia" was designated as a separate map group due to the extent of the maps and the important role as territory of the German Empire [Kingdom, Electorate], with different atlases and map series of both areas. The groups of the "Franconian Territories" and of "Hesse" could be classified according to uniform principles. They contain interesting maps and map sets of the margraviate Ansbach [No. 423 - 428] and contemporary map sets of the theater of war Hessen during the Seven Years' War [No. 457 and 458] from 1761, the latter by Carlet de la Rozière, adjutant of the French commander-in-chief, Marshal Broglie. For the special documentation of the domestic area, a separate map group "Hohenlohe" was highlighted and separated from the group of Franconian and southwest German maps. Particularly noteworthy are the land tables of the regions around Langenburg and Kirchberg from the first half of the 17th century [no. 472 - 475] and the complete representations of Hohenlohe by Schapuzet and Hammer from the second half of the 18th and at the beginning of the 19th century [no. 477 - 482]. The section "Northern Germany" comprises all maps of the Lower Saxon-North-Elbian area with two atlases of Mecklenburg-Strelitz [No. 499] and Mecklenburg-Schwerin [No. 501] by Count v. Schmettau from the 1780s. With the group "Österreichische Erblande" it had to be decided whether one summarized all maps of the Austrian monarchy or, as here because of the extent and the kind of the maps, divided into the individual partial realms and/or Erblande. Only maps of the narrower area [Austrian Imperial Circle, territory of present-day Austria] were included in this category, with the exception of representations of the entire monarchy. It is worth mentioning the Atlas [Kartenwerk] Tirol by Peter Anich and Blasius Hueber from the year 1774 [No. 509]. The situation was similar with the maps of the Prussian monarchy. Here, too, the groups had to be divided in order to avoid spatial and cartographic separations. The section "Pomerania" also contains maps with representations of Swedish-Vorpommern, the group "Silesia" stretches from the Austrian epoch to the end of the German Reich, with an atlas of the Silesian part principalities from the 1730s to the 1750s [no. 648, 649 and 658], war maps of the Silesian wars and maps reaching into the 1940s. The main group of the "Prussian States" comprises all other maps, from representations of the entire monarchy to individual districts, with maps of East and West Prussia [No. 548 and 555] and a "Special Map" of South Prussia by the Prussian court architect David Gilly from the years 1802/1803 [No. 552 - 554]. The formation of the division "Rhine (with adjoining countries)" took place under the compromise to unite river maps of the Rhine, maps of the Rhine area [Upper, Lower and Kurrhein] and war maps, which carry the title Rhine, but extend over a far larger area, into a comprehensible group. During the processing, torn map sets could be assembled, such as the war theatre map 1794 by Dewarat [No. 605] or the current measurement maps of the Palatinate-Bavarian Upper Rhine Inspector Wiebeking at the end of the 18th century [No. 608 and 612]. The area "Saxony" was structured under clear aspects, including the maps of the Obersächsischen Reichskreis (with Prussian territories) for reasons of uniformity. To be mentioned here are the map sets of the Erzgebirgskreis of the Prussian major v. Petri [No. 630], the individual representations of the Obersächsischer Kreis in eight boxes by Peter Schenk [No. 623], the complete depiction of the Wettiner Lande of the Frankfurt cartographer Johann Wilhelm Abraham Jäger [No. 634] and of the war theatre map of the Seven Years' War of the Saxon captain Backenberg [No. 641]. In order to do justice to the caesura of the years 1803, 1806 and 1810 with their political and territorial changes, the maps of the Swabian-Alemannic and the today Baden-Wuerttemberg area were combined to a unified group "Southwest Germany". Worth mentioning are the "Charte von Schwaben/Württemberg" [No. 681 and 682] by Amann and the Tübingen mathematician and astronomer Bohnenberger as the first attempt of surveying the state, ca. 1796 to 1810, the "Topographische Atlas des Königreichs Würt-temberg" [No. 695 - 697] of the Landesaufnahme from 1821 to 1851 and the forerunner maps of the Historical Atlas of Baden-Württemberg, the "Generalkarte von Württemberg" by Bach [No. 707] and "Der deutsche Südwesten am Ende des alten Reiches" [No. 714] by Erwin Hölzle, 1938 "Thüringen" could be sorted uniformly according to territories, the last section of the "Territories of Germany", the group "Westfalen", was formed again according to compromise aspects, since the range of representation often went beyond the mentioned space of the title, as with the war maps of Dezauche, 1797 [No. 743] and of le Coq, 1804 [No. 744]. The rest of the maps are distributed among the categories 7 to 13. In the group of "transnational theatres of war" all the war maps were classified which cannot be assigned to a fixed geographical area, like the maps of the Seven Years' War, with all battlefields and theatres of war, of the Prussian Colonel Friedrich Wilhelm v. Baur [No. 747 - 749] and the Prime Lieutenant J. v. Saint Paul [No. 763] or the Atlas of Revolutionary Wars [No. 760] of the Swiss General in French and Russian service, Baron Henri v. Jomini. For reasons of determination and provenance, the corridor maps in the inventory were not assigned to the general corridor map collection, but form a separate group. "City maps", "canal constructions" such as the old Rhine-Main-Danube canal, "natural phenomena" such as the solar eclipse of 1706, "statistics" and "miscellaneous", with copper printing plates to the Hohenlohe land plates [no. 853: to no. 473 - 475] and the Hohenlohe map by C. F. Hammer [no. 860: to no. 481] formed the end of the collection.The final signatures have been assigned according to the following criteria: with single numbering, for sets of cards with continuation cards with oblique stroke after the signature, such as "208/1" or "229/1 - 4", and for double or multiple deliveries with indication of the copies, such as the Weikersheim card "476 (4 copies)". The type of storage depends on the conditions of the cartons. There are four types of bearing supports. They are recognizable by their signature: the usual plan storage in drawers is not particularly emphasized. Then there is rolled card ["(rolled)"] and shelf storage of volumes or books ["(tape)"] and cards in boxes ["(carton)"]. Combinations between storage type and card sequences in the signatures occur frequently, such as "296/1 (2 copies)" or "209/1 - 4 (carton)". The indexing was comparatively intensive according to the historical value of the maps. As a rule, the title recordings contain the following information: The title is usually taken over in the original wording, in abbreviated form in the case of excess length. In the absence of a title, a separate version was created describing the theme and area of the map. In the case of non-German, ancient titles or titles deviating from the representation, the German spelling or the spelling customary today is adopted in square brackets [ ]. The area of the map representation is described according to three patterns: Sections refer to the map margin (left-right, top-bottom), sections to prominent vertices and locations at the map margin, and areas to imaginary radii of prominent points or locations. For some cards, the type of card sequence they belong to is also included in the title. The cartographers were indicated, if noted on the map, with their professional title or function as author/cartographer, publisher, editor, draughtsman, engraver, copywriter, printer, etc. In the description of the map design, the edition, the copy number (for multiple copies), the type of map (print, lithography or [copper] engraving) and the type of colouring are given, if given, whereby the majority of the maps are only partially coloured. Boundary lines were dyed in various colors by hand until the beginning of the 19th century. The areas and territories indicated in the title are flat, places are usually colored red or orange, the border areas of the map remain predominantly uncolored. The scale of almost all maps - even without the original scale - was converted into the metric fracture system common today, with the exception of sonar maps and atlases with very different maps. Place and year of publication are generally recorded, in some cases with multiple citation; in case of uncertain assignment the place of origin is indicated in square brackets, in case of missing time indication the presumed period ([um...] or [after...]) is also indicated in square brackets. The old signatures, as far as verifiable, have all been included in the order in which they were listed, with the signatures that Karl Schumm included in his list being the last to be mentioned. The map dimensions (width x height) refer to the actual map display, the dimensions of the sheet cut (outer frame) are shown in brackets. The cartographic type is divided into three categories (thematic, topographic or physical map). Maps dating from before the beginning of the 19th century often cannot be clearly assigned and are given in mixed forms for better identification. This is followed by basic information on the map display, such as the transport network, topography, form of settlement, political division or war events on military maps. In the case of sets or works of cards, the main title is given, the sheet number, if any, and the function of the card (title or continuation sheet). Finally, the intended use of the map is indicated, e.g. as a political, military, school or traffic map. In the remarks, the original scale or scales, the division according to longitude and latitude, as far as they were available, or the meridian grid were mentioned, usually the meridian designated here as the "old Parisian meridian" (fixed in Paris in 1613, with zero meridian by the island Ferro = Hierro/Canaries). In case of deviation from the usual northing of the map, the corresponding orientation according to the direction of the compass was specifically mentioned. Other conspicuous elements of the map presentation, such as the artistic design of the title, scale or dedication templates in allegorical form, the details of troop positions or siege rings, of coat-of-arms representations, explanations, dedications, more precise details of the political division, handwritten notes and other special features, were included at the end of the list.The final indexing and creation of the present holdings by the undersigned was carried out within the framework of the project "Indexing of the printed maps of the Hohenlohe Central Archives" sponsored by the Kulturgutstiftung in the period from 1 January 1999 to 31 December 2000. 1382 title records for approx. 3060 maps in 33 drawers, 59 rolled maps, 92 maps in boxes/cartons and 38 volumes (approx. 4.5 linear metres of shelving) were included in the holdings, which received the designation "Hohenlohe Central Archives: Printed maps". A supplementary use of the map holdings of the line archives of the holdings of the hand-drawn maps of the Hohenlohe Central Archives may make sense under certain circumstances. 3. an explanation of the structure of the title recordings: All maps are described in the present finding aid book according to the following scheme in the indicated order:Order signature - Order numberTitle of the map (as quotation) or indication of the map contentKarthograph and other persons involved in the creation of the mapEngineering stage, edition, execution of the mapScaleEngineering place Further formal descriptionRemarksPre-signaturesEngineering time

The N11 collection of Mintman's estate comprises 169 units of indexation with a total duration from 1863 to 1975. It probably reached the Kleve district archives shortly after the death of the estate of Ludwig Mintman (1884-1975) and was incorporated into the old collection E here. Groups were formed and provided with the signatures E6 to E34. An exact list of the old index can be found in the registry of the district archives under the file number 41 22 14 02. Since this first indexing was only a rough sorting with however very exact single sheet indexing, the present reorganization and new indexing was carried out, which permits a systematic access to the stock with the help of a classification. In addition, a search via keywords is possible. During the reorganization, cash was also collected, especially newspapers and newspaper cuttings. In addition some photos and death slips were taken and arranged with origin note into the appropriate collections, namely into F3 photo collection of the circle archives Kleve, S6 death slips collection and S16 prayer mission Primiz pictures. The estate consists or consisted mainly of books. Those with historical or local references were incorporated into the library of the district archives immediately after the inheritance was taken over at the end of the 1970s. A list of these books unfortunately does not exist. However, all volumes were marked with a stamp "Nachlass Mintmans". The largest part of the estate consists of textbooks or books related to pedagogy and didactics. These were grouped together, e.g. according to subjects. In addition, the estate also contains personal papers and private items, as well as extensive notes on the genealogy of various Aldekerk families, elaborations for teaching and drafts for the chronicle of Aldekerk as well as articles for the Aldekerk Heimatblatt and the Geldrische Heimatkalen-der. Ludwig Mintmans was born on 17 March 1884 at the Vennekels- and Mintmanshof in Kengen, Rheurdt municipality, Moers district as the only son of the married couple Jakob Mintmans and Anna Petronella née Jörris. After his discharge from primary school, he first attended the Präparandenanstalt in Krefeld, then the Lehrerseminar in Kempen from 1903 to 1906. After passing the 1st apprenticeship examination in July 1906, he became a teacher at the elementary school in Aldekerk. At first he received only a temporary employment, but after passing the 2nd apprenticeship examination in October 1909 he was permanently employed. At the same time he headed the vocational school in Aldekerk. After the end of the Second World War, Mr. Mintmans was reinstated into the school service in December 1945, from which he retired on 23 March 1948. The personal file of Ludwig Mintman is in inventory A under the signature KA Kle A 24. Further information about him and his teaching activities can be found in the following files: KA Kle A 106, KA Kle A 267, KA Kle B 417. On 13 June 1911 Ludwig Mintmans married Katharina Dese-laers, born on the Bermeshof in Vernum. The two had four children: Ludwig (7.7.1912), Adele (24.4.1914), Jakob (4.3.1917) and Heinrich (4.5.1921). Mrs. Mintmans died in May 1967. Ludwig Mintmans devoted his entire life to the history of his homeland, especially to researching the history of his hometown Aldekerk. So he wrote a chronicle for the parish Aldekerk, designed the coat of arms for the parish Aldekerk, took care of the dialect care and was co-founder of the Heimatverein, in which he received the honorary membership for his 80th birthday. Ludwig Mintmans published the following articles in the Geldrisches Heimatkalender: GHK 1953, p. 69ff: Das Rittergut Palings GHK 1955, p. 27ff: Haus- und Hofmarken GHK 1956, p. 110ff: Buttermilch und Flötekäs.

1 On the biography of Karl Sauter: Karl Sauter was born on 16 May 1870 in Stuttgart as the son of the later director of construction Karl von Sauter. His mother Maria Sauter, née Breimeier, died eight days after his birth. Karl Sauter subsequently grew up with his maternal grandparents in Dettingen/Urach before moving to Stuttgart at the age of six to live with his father, who had remarried in the meantime. After attending a boarding school, Sauter embarked on a military career. In 1885 he joined the cadet corps in Oranienstein and in 1886 the main cadet school in Groß-Lichterfelde. In the years from 1889 to 1900 Sauter served as a lieutenant secretary and prime lieutenant in the Infantry Regiment No. 120. In October 1900 he was commanded to the Great General Staff, where he received a captain's post in 1903. Sauter returned to Württemberg in March 1904. He took over a company of the Grenadier Regiment No. 123. In 1909 Sauter became general staff officer of the 27th Infantry Division. After his promotion to Major (1910) and a one-year activity at the Large General Staff (1911/12), he was transferred to the Fusililier Regiment No. 122 (1912). During the First World War, Sauter worked from October 1914 to June 1915 as First General Staff Officer in the XXVI Reserve Corps. From July 1915 he commanded the newly established Reserve Infantry Regiment No. 122, and from June 1916 he served as Chief of the General Staff of the 26th Reserve Corps. During the first three years of the war, Sauter was deployed mainly in Flanders (including Poelkapelle and Langemarck), Lorraine (including St. Julien and Longwy), the Champagne (including Reims) and the Somme. In February 1915 he was appointed lieutenant colonel. From September 1917 until the end of the war, Sauter served as Chief of the General Staff of the Government of Antwerp. After the end of the war Karl Sauter was stationed 1919 as liaison officer of the Württemberg War Ministry at the OHL in Kolberg. In 1920 he retired from military service; at the same time he was given the character of a major general. Subsequently, Sauter reoriented himself professionally and began a career as a businessman. Sauter wrote numerous (lecture) manuscripts on topics of time and defence policy during his military service, but above all after his departure from the army. The texts express his closeness to National Socialist ideology. Sauter was, among other things, a member of the NS Volkswohlfahrt. After the end of the Second World War, Sauter had to answer for himself in a denazification case in Stuttgart, where he travelled extensively to numerous European and non-European countries for several decades. Sauter died on 11 March 1959. 2. On the military estate of Karl Sauter: The holdings were transferred to the Hauptstaatsarchiv Stuttgart in August 1959. The records were undeveloped so far. They were arranged and listed by archive trainee Dr. Christine Axer under the guidance of Dr. Wolfgang Mährle in December 2010. The military estate of Karl Sauter comprises 1 linear meter. Sauter's memoirs "From my time and for the understanding of the history of my time", which are handed down in the estate and partly kept in the form of a diary, cover a period of more than sixty years. They provide information about the military career of their author as well as about the numerous journeys he made to almost all continents. The memoirs are supplemented by a comprehensive collection of material and a series of unpublished manuscripts by Sauter, in which - politically colored - he deals on the one hand with (military) political and historical questions, and on the other hand also reflects on human existence. The collection also contains numerous postcards, maps and photographs. The latter in particular reveal an unvarnished view of the First World War and its horrors. 3. references: - HStAS, M 430/2 Bü 1786, Sauter, Karl (military personnel file);- HStAS, M 707 No. 1286, Sauter, Karl (14 photographs);- StAL, EL 902/20 Bü 61623 Heimatspruchkammern Spruchkammer 37 - Stuttgart: Procedural files: Sauter, Karl.Stuttgart, December 2010Dr. Wolfgang MährleDr. Christine Axer

History of the possession of the island Mainau: After the abolition of the Kommende of the Teutonic Order on the island Mainau in 1805, the Kommenden possession first fell to the Baden state; today the Kommenden archive in the General State Archives consists mainly of the holdings 5 (documents Mainau) and 93 (files Mainau). After a rapid change of ownership - 1827 from Baden to Prince Nikolaus von Esterhazy, 1827 from his son Nikolaus Freiherr von Mainau to Katharina Gräfin Langenstein - Grand Duke Friedrich I of Baden bought the island from Langenstein¿schem in 1853 with funds from the private box and made the Teutonic Order palace a secondary residence. With advancing age, the stays of the Grand Duke and his wife Luise became increasingly frequent; the park owes its design largely to Frederick's initiative. In 1907 the Grand Duke of Mainau died. After her death in 1923, the widow's residence of the Grand Duchess was transferred to her son Frederick II, and from him to his sister Victoria, Queen of Sweden. In 1930, their grandson Lennart, now Count Bernadotte, took possession of the Mainau. History and notes on tradition: The Schlossarchiv, which was handed over to the General State Archives in 1997 as a deposit of Blumeninsel Mainau GmbH, depicts the history of possession and the court holdings of the Grand Ducal couple rather fragmentarily. Only the planned stock has survived as a closed overdelivery complex. After the death of Frederick I, Grand Duchess Luise decided that neither the castle nor the park could be altered in any way, so the plans provide a good overview of the conversion of the old Kommende buildings and the layout of the park from the Grand Ducal period to the Bernadotte era. Almost all the plans came from the architects of the Grand Ducal Court Building Office (Dyckerhoff, Hemberger, Amersbach), a few from the Court Garden Centre, from commissioned companies and from the Constance District Building Inspectorate. Outside the island, only the St. Katharina estate near Litzelstetten and a park bench near Constance are documented. The plans were recorded in detail by Ms. Kreyenberg before they were handed over to the General State Archives; her index continues to serve as a finding aid for the plan inventory, while the file part of the archive consists only of fragments. There are internal and external reasons for this. The changing courtly style between Karlsruhe, Baden-Baden, Badenweiler and Mainau may have brought with it a transport of written documents, which in all residences allowed half site-related, half accidentally left behind layers of files to emerge. In many respects, the Mainau holdings correspond almost perfectly to the files that have been kept in the General State Archives since 1995 from the tradition in the New Palace in Baden-Baden: Here and there the boundaries between the files of the court authorities, the daily ceremony and the personal, princely estate can hardly be drawn exactly, here and there correspondence and telegram series, diaries and notebooks, private entries and greeting addresses, documents of the wide-ranging charity work of Grand Duchess Luise and much more can be found. (cf. GLA 69 Baden, Collection 1995 A, B, D, F I, FII, G , K). In a nutshell, the Mainau collection - insofar as it does not directly refer to the Mainau court - microscopically depicts the Baden-Baden manor; both collections relate primarily to Grand Duchess Luise, and only in the second to her husband and children. As in Baden-Baden, the Mainau collection also includes a large group of photographs documenting, among other things, the close ties to relatives of the imperial family. Unlike in Baden-Baden, however, the fragmentary character of the Mainau archive also seems to be due to unintentional interventions. In the summer of 1945, the castle served as a military hospital for former concentration camp prisoners; during this time, they are said to have burned the archives, the bookkeeping and the more recent documentation of the island and to have taken documents with them when they were released in September (Alexander and Johanna Dées de Sterio, Die Mainau, Stuttgart / Zürich 1977 p.93). It will no longer be possible to reconstruct exactly what kind of archive this was; in any case, it must have been the written records of the goods administration which were taken over by the successors of the Teutonic Order and continued through the 19th century. Only fractions of files from this area have actually survived in today's inventory. Editor's report: Because of the difficult history of tradition, the order of the remaining holdings was not easy either. A separation according to personnel and court office conveniences would have made little sense and would also have been hardly possible in view of fragments that could hardly be allocated. Thus special occasions (such as birthdays and anniversaries) and special source genres (such as notebooks or telegrams) now form the highest order criteria, then the reference to persons or events and finally, within a unit of records, the chronological order; however, most of these units of records had to be formed first, since at the time the inventory was taken over any order of parts was not recognizable; as a rule they were loose, connected sheets.In August and September 1998, in the context of the training for the Higher Archive Service, the holdings were arranged by Claudia Maria Neesen and Christof Strauß under the guidance of the undersigned and recorded and indexed with the help of the MIDOSA programme package of the Landesarchivdirektion Baden-Württemberg. Karlsruhe, June 1999Konrad Krimm Conversion: The finding aid was converted in 2015. The final editing was carried out by Sara Diedrich in April 2016. The plans and building drawings were added under the inventory designation 69 Baden, Mainau K to the inventory 69 Baden, Mainau and listed under the signatures 69 Baden, Mainau K 1 to 69 Baden, Mainau K 209.
