The history of the tradition The preliminary remark on the repertory Wü 28/1, Landgericht Ravensburg [2010: Wü 28/1 T 1] is referred to the court organisation. The files included in this inventory were delivered to the State Archives by the Regional Court of Ravensburg on 25 April 1969 (Acc. 1969/14). These are criminal files from the years 1891 to 1933. For the time being, further criminal files are still kept in the Ludwigsburg State Archives as fonds E 353 (District Court/ Regional Court Ravensburg, Criminal Chamber, with District Criminal Court Biberach as 2nd Criminal Chamber for the districts of Biberach, Leutkirch, Riedlingen, Waldsee), where they had been deposited before 1938. In due course they are to be merged with the holdings located here in accordance with the responsibility of the archives. The order and distortion of the present files was carried out by the retired government chief secretary Plaumann in 1969. Fräulein Queck produced the fair copy and register. The stock comprises 47 fascicles with 1.25 running metres [2010: 48 fascicles with 1.5 running metres]. Sigmaringen, December 1970 Stemmler Content and Rating Includes: Street trial records: Criminal Trials 1891-1933 (1950) (with gaps in time)

Preliminary remark: The files of the proceedings of the Regional Court came in several deliveries into the State Archives. 500 title records were recorded by the archive employee Seufer with the program MIDESTRA, which were converted after continuation of the recording by the archive employee Zeller with the program MIDOSA 95 likewise into the newer data format. The records were then sorted according to the original reference numbers. The relevant registers are in stock E 349. Only a few files have survived from the early years of the court, which was transformed from a district court to a regional court in 1879. Since the beginning of the First World War, the tradition has become denser. It reflects above all the development of white-collar crime, but also the political, criminal disputes in the run-up to the Third Reich.7363 tufts with 33.1 m.

Preliminary remark: The Baden constitution of 1818 had created a parliamentary two-chamber system. In contrast to the representatives of the estates assembled in the first chamber, the representatives of the people in the second chamber were elected by universal suffrage, in which the mass of citizens could cast their votes. The political debates in the Ständehaus in Karlsruhe were to play a not insignificant role in the upswing of the liberal movement in the first half of the 19th century. In 1904, direct suffrage was introduced for the second chamber. With the end of the constitutional monarchy, the first chamber of the Landtag disappeared. The Baden constitution of 1919 abolished class voting rights and introduced women's suffrage. On 30.1.1934, the history of the Badischer Landtag came to an end after 115 years with the National Socialist law on the abolition of the popular representations of the Länder. The archives of the Landtag were delivered to the General State Archives in 1934 and 1942, the photos of the members of parliament in 1943. These photos can be found under the heading No. 40k Members of the Estates. The minutes and invoices of the first and second chambers are summarized in fonds 231. The petitions of the population to their members of parliament, some in alphabetical order and some in chronological order, are very extensive. The present index was converted into an online find book in 2009 with funds from the German Research Foundation and then edited by Michael Bock. Karlsruhe, October 2009Dr. Rainer Brüning

Preliminary remark: On the history and administration of the districts and bailiwicks 1806-1817 cf. the preliminary remark on repertory D 71 (bailiwick on the upper Neckar), the seat of the 6th district established by the organisational manifesto of 1806 was Rottenburg. The district comprised the upper offices Balingen, Herrenberg, Horb, Rosenfeld, Rottenburg, Sulz and Tübingen. In 1810 it was transformed into the Landvogtei (bailiwick) on the middle Neckar with its official seat in Rottenburg. In October 1908, the government of the Schwarzwaldkreis in Reutlingen transferred the existing files to the Archive of the Interior, where Rechnungsrat Marquart prepared a summary index of the individual alliances, which was used as a valid repertory in the Staatsarchiv Ludwigsburg until spring 1964. The repackaging of the collection carried out in late 1963 was taken as an opportunity to produce a somewhat more detailed distortion of the individual fascicles on the basis of their old inscriptions in the same process. This work was carried out under the direction of the undersigned archivist F. Röhrich. The undersigned himself endeavoured to reorganise the unsystematically structured stock, whereby the predominant serial character of the files, probably to be explained from the office competence of the bailiff, prohibited the production of a systematic file plan and suggested a simple grouping according to categories. In order to make the scope of the individual rubric clearer, an alphabetical order was omitted in favour of the arrangement according to certain factual aspects.files of the same provenance (3 tufts) are found in fonds B 88a (v. Freyberg, Freiherren zu Wellendingen) Büschel 133-135. They may have reached the baronial archive as hand files of the Rottenburg district governor Nikolaus Christoph v. Freyberg-Eisenberg on Wellendingen, Worndorf and Hopferau. The archives of the district office Rottenburg and/or the bailiwick at the middle Neckar listed in the supplement (by state archives council Dr. Seiler) were only determined after conclusion of the available repertory in the late year 1964. 239 tufts on 7.2 m. Ludwigsburg, March 1964Dr. A. now comprise the holdings. Seiler On Retroconversion: This finding aid is a repertory that was previously only available in handwritten or typewritten form and has been converted into a database-supported and thus online-capable format. In this so-called retroconversion, the structure of the template and the linguistic version of the texts were basically retained (motto: "transcription instead of revision"). This can lead to a certain discrepancy between the modern external appearance and the partly outdated design and formulation of the title recordings.

History of tradition On the history and administration of the districts and bailiwicks 1806-1817 cf. the preliminary remark on repertory D 71 (bailiwick on the upper Neckar). Ludwigsburg was the seat of the 2nd district (later Landvogtei an der Enz) established by the organisational manifesto of 1806. After the reformation of the lower administrative level, the district initially comprised the upper offices of Besigheim, Bietigheim, Ludwigsburg, Marbach, Maulbronn, Vaihingen and Waiblingen. From 1810, the Oberamt district was reduced by the Oberamt Waiblingen, which had been transferred to the district of Rothenburg, and the Oberamt Bietigheim, which had been dissolved. In 1817 a large part of the files of the Landvogtei were handed over to the newly founded district government, which in turn left them to the State Archives in Stuttgart in 1877, from where they were transferred to the State Archives in Ludwigsburg in 1969. There further files from the tradition of the district government were added. Contents and Evaluation Most of the title recordings on hand can still be traced back to a list of files produced by the Landvogtei itself, which was editorially revised during the retro conversion. In particular, the classification of headings has been simplified and aligned with the classification schemes of other bailiff stocks. At the same time, new title recordings were made for approximately 20 previously unrecorded archive units. The collection now comprises 337 archive units of approx. 5.3 linear metres.
