Origin and editing: During the formation of the large selection stock "Haus- und Staatsarchiv" in the 1870s and 1880s, the group "Staatssachen" was formed as Section III. The editor Ludwig Dietz mainly assembled files from the Margravial Archives, the Foreign Ministry (Diplomatic Section), Secret Cabinets, the War Ministry, and the Baden Army Commandos, and, as an exception, from the conversion, it seemed advisable to intervene editorially in order to make the online finding aid more user-friendly and clearer, at least in wording and textual form, without being able to make a new indexing: The title recordings were streamlined and provided with an additional "Contains" note. Also, in the area of name and location details in particular, clarifications had to be made. The expressly mentioned provenance data were noted in the field "Final provenance". Content: The originally so-called "Secret State Archives" mainly comprise the main and state actions of the state of Baden. Foreign policy and the war and military affairs of the early modern period and the 19th century form a focal point here. In addition to the files on the German Confederation, particular attention should be paid to those on the acquisition of the state and the territorial and succession issue. Reference should also be made to the group of treaties. Transitions to stocks I. Personalia (46) and II. Household and farm objects (47) of the Haus- und Staatsarchiv, the Großherzogliches Familienarchiv, the Geheimer Kabinett (60), the Staatsministerium (233) and the Kriegsministerium (238) are fluid. Usage: The stock is microfilmed. Use only via microfilm.

Preliminary remark: The documents in this inventory include the trade, commercial and customs matters directly concerning Württemberg as well as documents on the role of Württemberg in the German Customs Union.

Since the allocation of categories in the old lists was very inconsistent, so that further growth was always to be expected, the inventory was left for a longer period of time as a temporary solution and the completion of the finding aid book was waited until the completion of all title entries and their final allocation. The stock now comprises 531 tufts (4.4 m).Stuttgart, in February 2011Johannes Renz c) nationality mark: A]Austria [B]Belgium [BR]Brazil [CH]Switzerland [CHN]People's Republic of China [CZ]Czech Republic [DK]Denmark [E]Spain [EAT]Tanzania [F]France [UK]Great Britain and Northern Ireland [GR]Greece [H]Hungary [I]Italy [IRL]Ireland [J]Japan [JA]Jamaica [MEX]Mexico [NL]Netherlands [NL]Netherlands [PE]Peru [PL]Poland [RI]Indonesia [RUS]Russia [TR]Turkey [USA]United States of America

Preliminary remark: The present collection E40/11 contains documents of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the Württemberg territorial acquisitions from 1806 onwards and the associated general foreign policy as well as a few documents from the period from 1806 onwards concerning earlier Württemberg acquisitions.
