Overview: The beginnings of modern associations date back to the 17th and 18th centuries. Language societies, science academies and newly flourishing Freemason lodges emerged, which pursued the claim to have an educational and educational effect. The economic and intellectual development of other circles was ensured by non-profit societies, reading societies, patriotic associations and societies. In Rostock this club life began towards the end of the 18th century. A charitable society can be traced back to 1780. The Patriotic Association, founded in 1798, was mainly dedicated to the promotion of agriculture. The Societät (since 1794) and the Klub (since 1796) wanted to offer their members reading, playing and entertainment opportunities. The Society of Natural Scientists was formed in 1800 and the Philomatic Society in 1819. There were also several reading societies. The actual time of the association's foundation, however, only began with the revival of political life, especially community life, in the 1930s and 1940s. As in other cities, clubs for singing and gymnastics, for trade, for mission and nursing, for beautification of the city, election reform, worker education, dance and social entertainment were founded in Rostock during this time. Although most of the associations had a short life and little importance, in their totality they shaped the cultural life of the city. The larger associations and societies had an important and over decades consolidated position. During the war in the 19th and 20th centuries, military associations as well as support associations and foundations for soldiers were formed. The associations experienced massive restrictions in their freedom during the period of National Socialism. Numerous associations and societies were banned and dissolved or united under the umbrella of National Socialist imperial associations. Under the title "Vereine, Leichen- und Witwenkassen, Veranstaltungen, Jubiläen" ("Associations, Corpse and Widow's Box Offices, Events, Anniversaries"), the collection comprises material from various origins, areas and epochs. A directory compiled by the town archivist Ernst Dragendorff indicates that the holdings - as a collection - were already established at the end of the 19th, beginning of the 20th century. The numerous programmes, newspaper clippings, posters, printed statutes and annual reports are the result of systematic collecting activities. There are also documents from provenance-related collections, in particular from the estates of archivists Karl Koppmann and Ludwig Krause, the mayor Magnus Maßmann, the chemical manufacturer Friedrich Witte and the school councillor Erich Stegemann, or from the council collection. In individual cases, the documents in question are actually from the provenance of associations or societies. Some of the association files originally included in the holdings (provenance holdings) were separated in the GDR period (Rostocker Kunstverein) or assigned to existing provenance holdings (Schützenkompanie). The collection Neue Heimat - Gemeinnützige Wohnungs- und Siedlungsgesellschaft der Deutschen Arbeitsfront im Gau Mecklenburg GmbH was spun off in 2006 and classified in the trade and economy group according to the tectonics of the archive.
