History of the Inventor: The State Tax Offices were established in 1919 as the central authorities of the three-tier Reich Finance Administration, and from Apr. 1937 they were known as the Chief Finance President. Their jurisdiction was usually territorially limited. Only the LFA/OFP Berlin was assigned various responsibilities after 1933 which were to be exercised for the entire territory of the Reich, including the administration of enemy property in Germany and German property abroad (processed in a special branch office for enemy property in 1942). Inventory description: Inventory history The files of the branch office for hostile assets of the OFP Berlin-Brandenburg were continued by the Oberfinanzdirektion Berlin after 1945. When it resumed its activities in May 1945, the branch office had taken over hundreds of thousands of registration forms and the extensive file that had been moved to the vaults of the Deutsche Reichsbank during the last years of the war. At the end of 1962, the files and card indexes were transferred to the Dornburg Archive Depot of the GDR's State Archive Administration and were virtually unusable there. When the archive depot was closed in 1992, the documents were transferred to the Federal Archives. Due to the fact that the large mass of single case files usable by the existing alphabetical index was opposed by a comparatively small stock of unlisted Generalia, two partial stocks R 2107 (single case files) and R 2107 I (Generalia) were formed. The Generalia were evaluated and recorded between 1997 and 2002. In the course of the evaluation, approximately 2.0 linear metres of files from the Amt für Preise at the Stadtbezirksverwaltung Berlin-Prenzlauer Berg as well as from the Zentralfinanzamt Groß-Berlin and the Magistrat von Berlin were separated out and handed over to the Landesarchiv Berlin, while numerous official documents were removed and handed over to the Bundesarchiv library. Numerous duplicates, form collections and routine documents were collected.

History of the Inventory Designer: In 1880, the "German Agricultural Council" suggested the creation of a "Reichszentrale zur Beobachtung und Vertilgung der die die Kulturpflanzen schädden Insekten und Pilze" (Reich Centre for the Observation and Eradication of Insects and Fungi Harmful to Cultivated Plants). On 24 March 1897, the Member of Parliament and practical farmer, Dr Dr hc. Albert Schulz-Lupitz in the Reichstag, an initiative for the creation of an "agricultural-technical Reichsanstalt für Bakteriologie und Phytopathologie". A necessity was given by the annual damages in the agriculture and forestry by diseases and pests of the cultivated plants and because of the importance of certain bacteria. This request was initially postponed until the following year and was finally dealt with again on 28 January 1898. On that day the Imperial Health Office demanded 2400 Marks for a "botanically trained unskilled worker" who would not only carry out the food examinations, but also the botanical work for the pharmacopoeia and the exploitation of plants from the protectorates, as well as be active in the field of plant protection. Finally, on 25 February, a commission met at the "Imperial Health Office" to discuss the planned establishment of a "Biological Department" at the Health Office and to draw up a first memorandum. The integration into this office was carried out because the now projected tasks (e.g. combating phylloxera) had been carried out there for years. The founding memorandum set out the tasks of the future research institute in eight points and became part of the "Law on the Determination of a Supplement to the Reich Budget Budget for the Financial Year 1898". In 1899 this department already comprised four laboratories in the newly built building of the "Imperial Health Office" in Klopstockstrasse in Tiergarten. Initially the department (see Reichstag printed matter no. 241, 1898): - study the living conditions of animal and plant pests of cultivated plants and gain the basis for their control, - study the damage to cultivated plants caused by inorganic influences, - study the beneficial organisms from the animal and plant kingdoms, - study the microorganisms useful and harmful for agriculture, and - study the diseases of bees. - In addition to the experimental activities, the following tasks were also assigned to the department: - Collecting statistical material on the occurrence of the most important plant diseases at home and abroad, - Provision of difficult-to-access literature (in particular from abroad) to the state institutes, - Publication of common publications and leaflets on the most important plant diseases, - Training of experts (for the German colonies). For field experiments, a test field was leased in Dahlem on the site of the "Royal Prussian Domain" at today's Königin-Luise-Strasse 19. In May 1898 the construction of a greenhouse with insulating cells and a small laboratory building began on this site. When the "Biological Department for Agriculture and Forestry at the Imperial Health Office" was founded, Oberregierungsrat Dr. med. h. c. Karl Köhler was director of this office. The first head of department was then in 1899 the Privy Councillor Prof. Dr. Albert Bernhard Frank, who died in 1900. His successor was Privy Councillor Prof. Dr. Carl Freiherr von Tubeuf, who was appointed to Munich after only a few months. In 1902, Dr. Rudolf Aderhold, Privy Councillor, became the new head of the government. He was followed on August 1, 1907 by the Privy Senior Government Councillor Prof. Dr. Johannes Behrens, former head of the "Bacteriological Laboratory". A further change of leadership did not take place until 1920, when Privy Councillor Prof. Dr. Otto Appel became Director of the BRA. He was succeeded from 1933 to 1945 by Dr. Eduard Riehm, Senior Government Councillor, as Director and from 1937 as President of the BRA.

On 13 January 1919 it changed its name to "Biologische Reichsanstalt für Land- und Forstwirtschaft" (Biological Imperial Institute for Agriculture and Forestry) and from 1920 was subordinate to the Reich Ministry of Food and Agriculture (RMEL).

January 1919Biologische Reichsanstalt für Land- und Forstwirtschaft1920Reichsministerium für Ernährung und Landwirtschaft Since 1907, the following BRA branch offices have gradually been set up to research and control pests and diseases: - 1907: Ulmenweiler near Metz, from 1919: Naumburg / Saale (phylloxera) - 1920: Aschersleben (vegetables and ornamental plants) - 1921: Stade (fruit trees), from 1941: Heidelberg - 1921: Trier, from 1926: Bernkastel-Kues (vines) - 1925: Kiel (grain and fodder plants) - 1927: Mechow near Kyritz, from 1936: Eichhof (Langen near Redel, potato diseases, breeding) - 1932: "The "Branch Office East" in Königsberg (research into the possibilities of sufficient production of protein-containing animal feed for the "German East") - 1934: Gliesmarode (rust diseases, forest resistance of plants) - 1940: Vienna (previously Vienna State Institute for Plant Protection) - 1940: Kruft / Eifel (potato beetle research), later relocation to Mühlhausen / Thür. In addition, the BRA supervised research supported by RMEL in Markee in Nauen (combating cabbage pests: cabbage fleas, cabbage flies, cabbage shoots) and Magdeburg (combating tomato diseases). The working group with the German Entomological Institute of the Kaiser Wilhelm Society, founded in 1934, was intended to promote systematic and morphological research in the field of applied entomology. In the case of mass occurrences of individual pests, so-called "flying stations" were set up ad hoc for research purposes, which could be dissolved at any time. These flying stations included: - 1921-1925: Oybin near Zittau, respectively Dresden (plague of nuns) - 1922-1927: Crenzow / Pomerania and Anklam (beetle of Rübenaas) - 1924: Stralsund, from 1925: Rosenthal near Breslau, from 1928: Heinrichau, from 1933: Guhrau (beet fly and beetle leaf bug) - 1929-1931: Randowbruch / Pommern (grass diseases and pests) - 1937: Oldenburg (grassland pests) After the end of the war in 1945, the BRA was broken up, first attempts were made to resume work in Berlin and the four occupation zones. In May 1945, the Dahlem offices were first subordinated to the Berlin magistrate. Prof. Dr. Otto Schlumberger became the new President in Berlin in July. Inventory description: Inventory history The inventory R 3602 Biologische Reichsanstalt für Land- und Forstwirtschaft consists of a total of 1955 files, which are subdivided as follows: - Naumburger Akten": signature numbers 1-1020 - files of the BRA: signature numbers 2001-2625 - personal files: Signature numbers 3001-3320 "Naumburger Akten" The first portion of files, subsequently referred to as Naumburger Akten, was handed over to the Zentrale Staatsarchiv (ZStA) in Potsdam on 24 January 1983 by the Akademie der Landwirtschaftswissenschaften, Institut für Züchtungsfragen Quedlinburg. A list of fees is available. The Naumburg files formed the inventory R 3602 Biologische Reichsanstalt für Land- und Forstwirtschaft. After 3 October 1990, the holdings were transferred from the ZStA to the Federal Archives. Files of the BRA Of the approx. 40 linear metres of the remaining records which had been preserved in the Federal Biological Institute for Agriculture and Forestry - Institute for Nonparasitic Plant Diseases - Berlin-Dahlem, the Federal Archives took over approx. 12 linear metres of archival documents in August 1983, including personnel files, most of the administrative documents and a selection of documents on implementation tasks. Around 1978, a considerable number of files, mainly from the Office for Economic and Legal Affairs in Plant Protection (WURA), had already been collected by the Federal Institute. In 1988, the Bernkastel-Kues branch and the Berlin Institute of the Federal Biological Research (Institut Berlin der Biologischen Bundesanstalt) handed over further files, in particular on viticulture and soil fertilisation (R 168 / 470-625). Personnel files In the 1950s, personnel files were mainly transferred from the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry to the ZStA. These three named groups of files were brought together in the Federal Archives to form a single collection: R 3602 Biological Imperial Institute for Agriculture and Forestry. The Naumburg files retained the signature numbers 1 to 1020, the numbers of the files from the former R 168 were added around 2000 (R 168 / 1 became R 3602/ 2001), the 320 personnel files received the signature numbers R 3602 / 3001-3320. The ZStA had no further BRA files. It is suspected that the archival material handed over to the Reichsarchiv by the BRA and the other branch offices was destroyed during the destruction of the archive in April 1945. Content characterisation: Documents on the following subject areas have been handed down: Headquarters: Business operations of the headquarters 1885-1949, land and buildings, budget 1905-1944, personnel matters 1902-1949, business operations of the branch offices, especially Trier and Bernkastel-Kues 1919-1948, development and activities in general: historical development 1897-1944, activity reports, work of the advisory board, lectures, publications, public relations, anniversaries 1902-1952.

Inventory description: Dept. 18 Bauordnungsamt Scope: 1129 VE (= 197 archive cartons and Überform, 32 lfm = status 14.4.2014) Duration: 1840 - 1990 (above all 1900 - 1950) I. For the development of the building administration Due to the considerable increase in municipal building activity, an independent building and civil engineering office was set up in 1891 in place of the previous city building authority by resolution of the city council assembly, with the building police being located at the building authority. From 1899/1900 the offices were again combined as the Stadtbauamt (Stadtbauamt) (under master builder Georg Metzler, from 1910 Hermann Hüther) with further personnel reinforcement, whereby the following departments existed (essentially until 1939): - canal and road construction; - harbour constructions; - building police and building maintenance; - new construction; - surveying office; - horse husbandry/street cleaning/garbage removal; - municipal nursery; - registry/office. In 1939, after a division of the city planning office, there were three separate offices - building police; - municipal building police (with the building police under the direction of the city planning council (since 1933) Walter Köhler, the latter also included the city nursery); - municipal civil engineering office including street cleaning and surveying office (director: city planning council Hüther). The division of the department in spring 1946 provided for a building department (department head: Hanns Schmitt). After the retirement of Walter Köhler (1890-1977) in 1956, the management of the building administration was transferred to Listmann. At that time it comprised - the building administration office (including the rent authority); - the office for town planning and building supervision; - the building construction office; - the civil engineering office; - the surveying office; - the garden office. Since then, the building administration has been reorganised several times, most recently comprehensively at the beginning of 1998 with the establishment of a building authority from the merger of various building authorities and the establishment of a building maintenance and administration company. II. structure and content The department set up in 1996 in the course of relocations is composed of the file deliveries of the Building Code Office (63) in connection with the demolition of private residential and commercial (non-urban) buildings. The material came into the city archives mainly in the context of a large takeover on 10.02.1993, further by smaller levies. These are mainly building police approval procedures (individual case files) of the city planning office or city building department, which are laid out according to streets or companies. The length and scope of the project, as well as the uniformity and peculiarity of the file management, which stretched far back beyond the caesura of 1945, made it sensible to set it up as a separate department. The content includes numerous files on important industrial companies in Worms, including Cornelius Heyl AG, Lederwerke Doerr, and others.

Inventory description: Dept. 212 Carl J. H. Villinger Collection Scope: 285 archive boxes and 0.5 m oversized formats (= 723 units of description = 32.5 m) Duration: approx. 1833/1900 - 1977 About the author, journalist and local historian Carl J. H. Villinger (09.07.1905 - 27.05.1977) has since 1927 published a large number of journal articles and essays primarily on historical, art and cultural history issues, mainly with reference to Worms and with a focus on Catholicism (church and diocese history, chamberlain of Dalberg). For fourteen years Villinger, who had been a freelancer for the Allgemeine Zeitung (Worms edition) since 1948, belonged to the city council for the CDU. In addition to the above-mentioned topics, he was particularly interested in the work for the Aufbauverein (cf. Dept. 76, some files were incorporated into the Villinger Collection according to their origin), the Altertumsverein (cf. Dept. 75 No. 13), the 1st Wormser Schwimmclub 'Poseidon' (chairman of the association from 1948 to 1968), cf. Dept. 77/8 and the KKV Probitas (Dept. 212 No. 430), where he worked as press officer (Dept. 212 No. 0371). As early as 1968, Villinger had contractually transferred his extensive collections (including the library comprising approx. 10,000 volumes and a collection of graphics) of the city as a 'Villinger donation', of which a considerable part was transferred to the city archives (notarial donation contract Abt. 6-U Nr. 317). The content of the collection The collection, whose temporal focus lies after 1945, is structured as follows: own articles and publications by Villinger (thematically ordered), Das christliche Worms (especially Catholika), Wormser Stadtgeschichte (Wormser Dom, Nibelungen, etc.), Wormser Künstler, Dalberg-Archiv, Heylshof as well as material collection: Biographische Sammlung, Materialammlung Wormatiensia, Grafische Sammlung (16 to 20 Century).), on sports and art, political archives, printed, commemorative and small writings (surrounding areas and Worms, associations and societies), reproductions of Worms concerning manuscripts, files from Abt. 76 (Aufbauverein) included in the estate (mainly city council and committee meetings, construction/reconstruction, newspaper cuttings). Villinger was a passionate collector. Remarkable is his Graphic Collection (see from no. 544) in which numerous copper engravings of various types are to be found. painters and engravers. Lace and textile pictures as well as a collection of ex-libris (bookmarks), which he had bought or donated, enrich the remarkable collection (for ex-libris see essays in no. 579). Worth mentioning is Villinger's activity as the representative of the Kunsthaus Heylshof Foundation. His field of activity was not only the publication of numerous manuscripts/publications (e.g. Führer and Heylshof catalogue, no. 182) on the art treasures of the Heylshof as well as the design of exhibitions (no. 210) and projects (no. 181). According to correspondence between Villinger and Cornelius Heyl, Villinger was granted free access to the holdings of the Heylshof, in addition to the recording of the holdings, restoration of the paintings (no. 0211), public relations work, financing, printing and other tasks at the Heylshof (including a list of the paintings that Baron von Heyl had left to the Heylshof, see no. 178). Through many years of research and the purchase of literature (including 'Der Staatsrath Georg Steitz u.. or Fürstprimas Karl von Dalberg'). A sheet from Frankfurt's history at the beginning of the XIX century with documentary supplements by Georg Eduard Steitz, Frankfurt 1869 (book), s. no. 0404) Villinger was not only able to compile a collection, but also to publish numerous contributions about members of the family Kämmerer von Worms gen. von Dalberg (among others Carl Theodor von Dalberg (no. 397, no. 412), Friedrich Hugo von Dalberg (no. 394-395). Carl Villinger recorded the holdings of the Herrnsheim Dalberg Archive and was active in the city council for the acquisition of the Dalberg Archive and the Herrnsheim Palace Library from the city of Worms (No. 387-388). In his work Villinger liked to work together with the artists of Worms, so he created a biographical collection about the artists of Worms (No. 321-322) as well as a collection about Worms art (e.g. research about the whereabouts of Worms works of art, e.g. Régence-Kanzel des Wormser Karmeliterklosters, see No. 323). Villinger not only published serial articles in the Wormser Zeitung (e.g. 'Wormser Studenten an Universitäten', see no. 283), but also collected newspaper clippings which are indispensable for the history of the city of Worms (see Wormatiensia/Zeitungsausschnitte, no. 275ff.). Brochures (e.g. the Jewish Worms (No. 530), Worms Cathedral (No. 407), newspapers (Wormser Zeitung, No. 232, No. 234), magazines ("Rostra", see No. 165) and publications with and without reference to Worms (the Luther Monument, see No. 528; Alzey, Kriegstagebuch, 1914-1918, see No. 477) can be used for research. Postcards (no. 452), photos (no. 449) and a collection of coins and medals that can be used for exhibition purposes. Worth mentioning is the membership file of the Worms Rowing Club (No. 665). The membership cards contain extensive information on persons and their activities in the rowing club. Villinger himself was not a member of the rowing club. It can be assumed that Villinger came into possession of the membership register in 1947, when the Rudergesellschaft e.V. and the Wormser Ruderverein e.V.1911 merged and the cooperation failed. In the appendix of the finding aid book there is a separate list of sheet music: Dalberg Sheet Music (No. 401), by Rudi Stephan (No. 599), by Friedrich Gernsheim (No. 600), some of them are original sheet music; list of devotional pictures (No. 400 and No. 554) as well as bibliography Carl J.

Administrative history: In article 93 of the constitution of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg, published on 28.9.1860 (Hamb.VO, p.79), it had been determined that the tradesmen should elect a committee for the promotion of the business enterprise. The details should be determined by law. This edition fulfilled the Gewerbegesetz of 7.11.1864 (Hamb.VO, p.161). On the basis of this law, an interim trade committee consisting of 15 members was initially set up, which met for its constituent meeting on 27.1.1865. Its members had been elected five each by the elders of the former guild trades (offices), by the Senate and by the citizens. The committee in turn sent five members as representatives of the trades to the citizenship, where they replaced the deputies departing by law from the former older people. Its task was to prepare the conditions for the future final committee. Soon the interim trade committee presented a bill, which was not approved by the Senate. After long negotiations between senate and citizenship the "Gesetz betr. die Gewerbekammer" (Hamb.Ges.Slg.I, p.119) could finally be published on 18.12.1872. Herewith the committee required by the constitution received the designation "Chamber of Commerce". He was subject to the administrative department for trade and commerce (§ 1). Like its provisional predecessor, the Trade Chamber also consisted of 15 members, five of whom were seconded to the citizenship. Only those tradesmen were to be represented in the Chamber of Commerce who operated their business within the boundaries of the then Hamburg Free Port Area, including the Zollverein defeat. For the purpose of the election, the trades were divided into 15 groups, each of which had to elect a representative, for a period of five years. Three of the members should resign each year. Every self-employed businessman who had the right to participate in the elections for citizenship was entitled to vote and eligible for election. Each year, the members of the Chamber elected a chairman and his deputy from among their number. The Chamber's duties, as outlined in § 11 of the Act, included representing the interests of Hamburg trade, providing expert opinions in trade matters for the Senate, the courts and private individuals, and also participating in the administration of commercial schools. The costs of the Chamber's business operations were borne by the State Treasury. The first elections to the trade chamber took place after preparation by the interim trade committee on 31.3.1875. On 21.4.1875 the newly elected chamber met for its constituent meeting and took over the business and files of the interim committee, which dissolved at the same time. The Reichsgesetz of 26.7.1897 (RGBl., p.665) brought about drastic changes to the Gewerbeordnung. Section 105 of the new Rules of Procedure stipulated that chambers of craftsmen were to be set up to represent the interests of the crafts of their district. § 103q left it to the Land central authorities to determine that existing institutions could be entrusted with the exercise of the rights and duties of the Chamber of Crafts. The new law was gradually enacted by imperial decrees. The provisions on the formation of chambers of crafts entered into force on 1.4.1900 through the VO of 12.5.1900 (RGBl., p.127). In accordance with this, the Senate issued the notice of 2.4.1900 (Official Gazette, p. 487), which transferred the rights and duties of a Chamber of Crafts to the Chamber of Commerce for the entire territory of Hamburg. The requirements of the new trade regulations now also required a reorganisation of the Trade Chamber Act. The focus was on the question of representation of the many new industrial companies that have emerged in recent decades. While a minority of large industrialists were in favour of joining the Chamber of Commerce, the majority of smaller manufacturers decided to remain in the Chamber of Commerce. The area of competence of the Chamber also urgently needed to be revised. Section 3 of the old law had defined the free port area as the scope of the business area, which, however, had shrunk considerably as a result of the customs connection on 15 October 1888. Therefore, the chamber elections were tacitly held for all those tradesmen who were resident in the urban area and in the suburbs. After long negotiations the "Act on the Chamber of Commerce" of 4.10.1907 (Official Gazette p.589) was finally passed. From now on, the chamber was divided into a craft department and an industrial department, each with 12 members. The jurisdiction extended over the entire territory of Hamburg. The members were to be elected for a term of six years. At the end of each year, four members (2 each from each department) resigned. Replacement elections were held for members who resigned early. The Chamber sent representatives from among its members to the Deputation for Trade, Shipping and Industry, to the Advisory Authority for Customs, to the Administration of Trade Education and to the Supervisory Authority for Guilds. Parallel to the reorganization of the Chamber of Commerce, an Industrial Commission was formed at the Chamber of Commerce (Official Gazette 1907 p.600). The "Bekanntmachung betr. die Errichtung der Gewerbekammer und die Industriekommission der Handelskammer" of 23.12. 1907 (Official Gazette p.757) brought both changes into force on 1.1.1908. This solution was a compromise between the two conflicting aspirations in industry circles which emerged during the long negotiations. The new version of the Trade Chamber Act of 20.11.1922 (HGVBl. p.645) essentially brought changes in the election procedure, which were partly due to the discontinuation of Hamburg citizenship. The number of members for trade and industry was increased to 20 each. The election continued for six years, but with the proviso that half of the members should resign every three years. An additional important innovation was the raising of funds for the Chamber, which had previously been paid for from the State Treasury. Now § 27 of the law gave the possibility to raise a contribution graduated after the height of the taxable conversion. The new elections were to be held within 3 months of the promulgation of the law. The new law was brought into force by the announcement of 20.11.1922 (HGVBl. S.657) on 23.11.1922. In the following years, only minor changes were made to the law in force: on 4 June 1924 (HGVBl. p. 375), on 7 February 1927 (HGVBl. p. 84), on 6 April 1927 (HGVBl. p. 173) and most recently by the "Third Ordinance on the Implementation of the Act on the Structure of Administration" of 30 March 1928 (HGVBl. p. 136). A new task fell to the trade chamber with effect from 1.4.1930 by the mechanism and establishment of the handicraft roll with regulations of the Reich Minister of Economics of 25.4.1929 (RGBl. I S.87) and of 4.3.1930 (RGBl. I S.35). The Chambers of Crafts (Gewerbekammern) were required to keep a register of all craftsmen who were engaged in a standing trade on their own. The National Socialist seizure of power brought a complete break in the history of the trade chamber. On 31.5.1933 (Senate Protocol I 1933, p.272), the Senate approved a joint motion of the Chamber of Commerce and the Chamber of Commerce of 18.5.1933 to form an "Industry Committee" at the Chamber of Commerce consisting of representatives of both chambers. However, this state of affairs was only of short duration, because on 26.1.1934 (Senate Protocol p.27 and printed matter no.1) the Senate enacted the "Law on the Formation of a Unified Industrial Division at the Chamber of Commerce". The Chamber of Commerce took over the sole representation of Hamburg's industry after the dissolution of the industrial department of the Chamber of Commerce. The Reich legislation now brought about drastic changes: On 29.11.1933 the "Gesetz über den vorläufigen Aufbau des deutschen Handwerks" (RGBl. I p. 1015) was passed with the three implementing ordinances of 15.6.1934 (RGBl.I p.493) and 18.1.1935 (RGBl.I p.14 and p.15). The 2nd regulation of 18.1.1935 determined in § 1 the management of the chambers of crafts according to the Führergrundsatz. The Reich Minister of Economics was in charge of supervision. The 3rd Ordinance of 18.1.1935 tightened up the provisions concerning the register of craftsmen, in which from then on only self-employed persons who had also passed the master craftsman's examination were entered. Only those who were entered in the trade register were allowed to operate an independent trade as a standing trade. The management of the handicraft register was transferred to the trade chamber by the ordinance of the senate of 26.4.1935 (HGVBl. p.119). The Gewerbekammer ceased to exist as a result of the "Gesetz zur Aufhebung des Gesetzes über die Gewerbekammer" in the form of an announcement of the Reich Governor dated 30.9.1936 (HGVBl. p.227) with effect from 1.10.1936. It was replaced by the new Chamber of Crafts. Delivery and order The files of the Chamber of Commerce were delivered in four deliveries (1957,1965,1976) from the Hamburg Chamber of Crafts to the State Archives. During a preliminary examination in 1963, mainly journeyman and master craftsman examination files were collected, except for examples, because the Chamber of Crafts has master craftsman directories with information on the examination date. The file size before the beginning of the order work was approx. 13 linear metres. After cassation of already printed annual reports, concepts, cash audit cases and duplicate documents, the volume now amounts to 11.8 linear metres of shelving. The file classification used by the Chamber of Commerce proved to be unusable because of its group designations, which were mostly too general, and was not adopted. The reorganization was based on a classification according to factual aspects with partial reference to the earlier scheme - as far as possible and necessary for understanding the connections. The demarcation of the Gewerbekammer from the Handwerkskammer resulted from the design of the Handwerkvertretung in the National Socialist period. With 1.10.1936, the effective date of the new legislation, the existence of the Chamber of Commerce ends. The files of the supervisory authority for the guilds also delivered by the Chamber of Crafts form an independent collection (376-15). July 1978 Inventory description: The Hamburg Constitution of 28.09.1860 stipulated that tradesmen should elect a committee to promote the trade. A law should determine the details. The Trade Act of 1864 created the basis for the establishment of an interim trade committee at the beginning of 1865 to prepare a final committee. It was not until the end of 1872 that a Trade Chamber Act was published, with the result that the committee required by the Constitution was given the designation Trade Chamber. The Chamber of Commerce consisted of 15 members and was subordinate to the Administrative Department for Trade and Commerce. The tasks of the Chamber of Commerce included representing the interests of Hamburg's trade, providing expert opinions on trade matters for the Senate, courts and private individuals, and participating in the administration of commercial schools. Changes in the trade regulations led to the Senate of the Chamber of Commerce in 1900 also transferring the rights and duties of a Chamber of Crafts. The trade chamber law of 04.10.1907 divided this into a crafts department and an industrial department. The NS era brought drastic changes. In 1934 the Chamber of Commerce took over the sole representation of the Hamburg industry after the dissolution of the industrial department of the Chamber of Commerce. With effect from 01.10.1936 the activity of the trade chamber ended. It was replaced by the new Chamber of Crafts. The order comprises documents on the following areas of activity of the Chamber of Commerce: Internal affairs of the Chamber (organisation, elections, reporting), participation of the Chamber in authorities and administrations, relations with other organisations and institutions, conferences, economic promotion, trade regulations and labour law, training and examination, insurance, job creation, market economy, transport, taxation and customs, money and credit, calibration, administration of justice, construction, health, sport and statistics.

Find aids: Findbuch von 1992 (online searchable) Registraturbildner: The Verein für den Halleschen Handel, which was originally founded in 1833 to build a packing yard, is to be regarded as the forerunner of the later Halle Chamber of Commerce. On the basis of proposals made by this association and its president Ludwig Wucherer, a chamber of commerce "for the city of Halle and the Saale-Örter" was established by edict of 18 October 1844. Its district initially comprised the cities of Halle, Wettin and Alsleben as well as the rural communities of Kröllwitz, Rothenburg (Saale) and Salzmünde. In 1856 Eilenburg was added, in 1873 the districts of Bitterfeld, Delitzsch (without the city of Delitzsch), Querfurt, Merseburg, Naumburg, Weißenfels, Zeitz, the Saalkreis, the Mansfelder See- und Gebirgskreis (without the former court commission Ermsleben) joined. In 1881 the city of Delitzsch followed, in 1894 the district Eckartsberga, in 1895 the districts Liebenwerda and Torgau, finally in 1920 the district Schweinitz. The Halle Chamber of Industry and Commerce thus comprised the entire administrative district of Merseburg without the district of Sangerhausen, which belonged to the Nordhausen chamber district, and the former Ermsleben court commission (Mansfelder Gebirgskreis) with the town of Ermsleben and the rural communities of Endorf, Meisdorf, Neuplatendorf, Pansfelde, Sinsleben and Wieserode, which were assigned to the Halberstadt chamber district. When it was founded, the Chamber of Commerce consisted of 9 members, and since 1897 it had 54 members elected in 7 constituencies in the Industry, Mining, Wholesale and Retailing sections. In 1936, the Mittelelbe Chamber of Commerce was created for the area of the Chambers of Industry and Commerce in Halle, Halberstadt, Magdeburg and Dessau, i.e. for the Free State of Anhalt, the administrative districts of Magdeburg and Merseburg, and the Braunschweig district of Calvörde. The Mittelelbe Chamber of Commerce was created, which combined the chambers mentioned for its district and corresponded to the middle level of the Reich Economic Chamber. After the order of 16 December 1942 had determined the establishment of the Gauwirtschaftskammer Halle-Merseburg, the Industrie- und Handelskammer Halle and the Wirtschaftskammer Mittelelbe were dissolved with effect from 31 December 1942. Also the rights and duties of the Wirtschaftskammer Mittelelbe were transferred to the Gauwirtschaftskammer Halle-Merseburg on January 1, 1943 - as far as they concerned the district of the former Industrie- und Handelskammer Halle. After the end of the war, the competence of the Halle Chamber of Industry and Commerce was extended to the newly founded province of Saxony, until the Chamber of Industry and Commerce of the province of Saxony (from 3 December 1946: Saxony-Anhalt) was formed by decree of the Presidium of the Province of Saxony of 20 April 1946. Inventory information: The files grown up at the Halle Chamber of Industry and Commerce were probably subjected to an extensive cassation at the end of the 19th century, from which only those volumes of files were spared that were still needed for the current management at that time. Between 1953 and 1958, this older part of the collection, together with the later files, was delivered in three deliveries to the Merseburg branch of the State Archives. In 1968, this part of the collection was transferred to Magdeburg and supplemented with regard to the index data; in 1969, the remainder of the collection was finally taken over by the Magdeburg State Archives, listed and integrated into the existing collection. During the processing of documents of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce of the Halle district in the 1990s, further documents from the period before 1945 could be identified and assigned to the holdings. Additional information: A typewritten index is available for the examination documents of the individual trades (8.6.). Literature: The Chamber of Commerce building in Halle a. d. Saale.
