Inventory description: Due to the military convention with Prussia of 23.07.1867, the military commission of the Senate replaced the military deputation. It regulated the relations between the garrison and the Hamburg authorities, and in particular, in agreement with the General Command of the IXth Army Corps, the military replacement system. She was responsible for the respective military substitute commissions. It ceased to exist in 1921. The order, consisting of two registry layers with clearly differentiated structures, is structured as follows: In the Best. 342-1 I become Generalia (Military Commission of the Senate, General Correspondence, mobilization, military transport, march routes, quartering and catering, military budgets, service instructions, taxation of military personnel, military candidate system, personnel changes in the army, Postage freedom and the war with France (1870-1871) separated from Specialia (county replacement, replacement and landwehr, compulsory service, garrison matters, troop exercises, marches through, quarters, soldiers and officials of the former Hamburg contingent and pension and disability matters). The second layer (newer registry) forms the order 342-1 II and knows the following groups: Military commission of the Senate, mobilization, benefits in kind, transport, postage and franking, Reich budgets, service regulations, personnel changes in the army and navy, military and army affairs, garrison affairs, troop exercises and quarters, pensions, navy, acts of war (World War I) and post-war acts.

The estate of Friedrich Meinecke was transferred to the Secret State Archive of Prussian Cultural Heritage in several stages. Friedrich Meinecke handed over the first parts to the Prussian Secret State Archives in the early 1940s. This is the part of his estate that was removed from the salt mines in Central Germany to protect it from bomb damage and, after its recovery, was transferred to the former Merseburg office of the Central State Archives of the GDR, now the Merseburg Department of the Secret State Archives of Prussian Cultural Heritage (1.2 running metres of documents in total). Further parts of the estate were given to the Berlin main archive by his widow, Antonie Meinecke, while Friedrich Meinecke was still alive in 1952 and 1953 and thereafter until 196l. The Secret State Archives received an extensive part again in 1963 from Prof. Dr. Peter Claasen, Giessen, Troppauerstraße 42, a son-in-law of Friedrich Meinecke (previously described as a supplement to the estate). In 1971 and 1979, her daughter Agathe Meinecke handed over papers from her father's estate to the archive in Dahlem. The estate of Friedrich Meinecke was prepared by Dr. Herr and J. Krüger. They formed the archive groups described in more detail in the inventory overview under Part One and Part Two. Among them are also papers of the postmaster Meinecke, the grandfather of Friedrich Meinecke, and his uncle Rudolf Meinecke, Undersecretary of State in the Prussian Ministry of Finance, in sections XI and XII. In 1991/92 the undersigned arranged and listed the last unprocessed files of the Meinecke estate. These were 10 boxes, mainly Meinecke's correspondence, personal documents and printed material collected or published by Friedrich Meinecke. Since similar material was already in the Meinecke supplement, this was included again in the processing and related documents were combined. This should not only facilitate the evaluation of the extensive correspondence, but also the use of the holdings themselves, since the counting of the supplement, which previously began again with the number 1, was abandoned in favor of a sequential numbering following the actual estate. The previous numbers of the supplement can be found in a concordance. Files are ordered with the information VI HA Nl F. Meinecke No... Berlin, 20.2.1992 (Inge Lärmer) Addendum to Part Four (1950-1994 Central State Archive/Secret State Archive Merseburg) These files are part of the documents from Friedrich Meinecke's estate which were removed during the Second World War and subsequently kept in the Central State Archive/Secret State Archive Merseburg. After their return to Berlin in August 1996 they were annexed to the main estate of Friedrich Meinecke without detailed indexing. On the basis of a table of contents drawn up in Merseburg, the files contained in five packages and two cartons each received their own numbering, which counts further to the Dahlem estate. As a rule, the existing file titles were adopted; in some cases, the contents had to be supplemented. The previous count by parcels or cartons can be found in the column "old Merseburg signature". It should be noted that the numbering found on the packages/cartons did not correspond in part to the numbering in the above overview. The number now entered in the column "old Merseburg signature" refers to the numbering of this table of contents. A folder with letters addressed to Varrentrapp, which were included in the estate of Friedrich Meinecke as preliminary documents for the editorial staff of the "Historische Zeitschrift", was assigned to the estate of Conrad Varrentrapp (now VI. HA Nl Varretrapp), which was kept under Rep. 92, as a supplement to the correspondence to the "Historische Zeitschrift", also conducted there, concerning the period 1871-1873. Berlin, 13.9.1996 (Inge Lärmer) In January 2014 Mrs. Roswitha Classen, granddaughter of Friedrich Meinecke, sent further material. These include several photographs by Friedrich Meinecke and his wife Antonie, née Delhaes, as well as documents and photographs from the estate of other family members, the two sisters Dorothea and Johanna Delhaes and three of Meinecke's four daughters Ursula, Brigitte and Agathe Meinecke. The material was added to the estate under numbers 342-355 as part 5 "Meinecke Family". Berlin, January 2014 Dr. Schnelling-Reinicke Information on distortion: Meinecke correspondence was ordered alphabetically by sender. If the biographies and reference works in the archive did not show that they were Meinecke's students, they were marked by a "Sch" instead of the job title. The documents filed chronologically in the folders are numbered continuously within the initial letters. This numbering is shown after the name in brackets. In the items "2.1 Printed and published (listed in the bibliography of A. Reinold)" and "2.3 Reviews by Friedrich Meinecke (listed in the bibliography of A. Reinold)" the bibliography number of Reinold is listed in brackets preceded by an "R". Description: Biographical data: 1862 - 1954 Resources: Database; Reference book, 1 vol.

Max Lenz was born in Greifswald on 13 June 1850 as the son of Dr. Gustav Lenz, a judicial councillor. After his school education in Greifswald, he began studying classical philology and history (with Heinrich von Sybel and others) in Bonn. Interrupted by his participation in the Franco-German war, Lenz continued his studies at the universities of Greifswald and Berlin and in 1874 presented a dissertation on the topic "The Alliance of Canterbury and its significance for the Franco-English War and the Concil of Constance". In the same year he passed the senior teacher examination. In 1875 he began as a "unskilled worker" in the Marburg State Archives, where he worked on Landgrave Philip the Magnanimous of Hesse's political correspondence with the Strasbourg reformer Martin Bucer (3 volumes, Leipzig 1880-1891). In 1876 Lenz habilitated in Marburg on the subject of "Three Tractates from the Scripture Cycle of the Constance Concil" and was appointed extraordinary professor of medieval and modern history at the Philipps University in Marburg in 1881 and full professor in 1885. Further stations in his academic career were the universities of Breslau (from 1888), Berlin (from 1890) and Hamburg (from 1914), whose transformation from a colonial institute to a university he played a major role in shaping. After his retirement he returned to Berlin. Max Lenz died on April 6, 1932 and his scientific subjects were the Reformation, the French Revolution, Napoleon Bonaparte and Otto von Bismarck. He presented very extensive works on all these topics. Max Lenz saw himself as an objectivist historian and always emphasized the importance of source-critical research. He is considered one of the main representatives of the so-called Ranke Renaissance in Germany. He was a member of the Berlin Academy of Sciences and the Historical Society of Berlin, founded in 1872, to whose chairman he was elected in 1912 and again in 1925. Max Lenz was married to the pianist Emma Rohde from Greifswald; of his children one daughter and two sons reached adulthood: Hildegard, Georg and Friedrich (1885-1968, national economist) The estate here consists almost exclusively of letters, partly of an extensive correspondence within the (grand) family Lenz / Rohde, partly of Lenz' letters to friends, colleagues and students. The collection is supplemented by manuscript parts of a lecture on the French Revolution, a transcript of a lecture on the Reformation and newspaper clippings. The family correspondence was mainly written by Bertha Rohde (the mother of Emma Lenz), her children Emma (Emmchen), Elisa (Lieschen), Bertha, Marie Jena, née Rohde, Minna, William and Max, their son-in-law Max Lenz and their grandchildren Hildegard, Georg and Friedrich (Fritz). After the death of grandmother Bertha Rohde in 1917, the correspondence becomes thinner, but does not break off. The most frequent addressee is Elisa Rohde, who lived unmarried in Greifswald's parents' house. She may be the author of the letter collection. Most of Max Lenz's professional correspondence consists of letters to his pupil Hermann Oncken (1869-1945) and to colleagues not mentioned by name, but possibly also Oncken. The title "Dear Friend / Colleague" can also be found in several of Lenz's letters in other bequests handed down in the GStA PK, for example to Albert Brackmann, Adolf Grimme, Paul Fridolin Kehr, Friedrich Meinecke, Theodor Schiemann. After Max Lenz's death, his son Friedrich tried to collect letters from his parents. Several letters from relatives of friendly families from the period November 1942 to January 1943 with "negative notices" are handed down in this estate (No. 35). From Karl Seeliger's answer available in this context it emerges that Friedrich Lenz planned to deposit his father's estate in the Prussian Secret State Archives, which also happened on 11 March 1943 (exc. 16 / 43; I. HA Rep. 92 Nl Max Lenz). On the other hand, Max Lenz himself does not seem to have cancelled any letters received; only a very small number of letters to Max Lenz have been passed down here (No. 34). Together with other holdings, bequests and collections that had been relocated from 1943 due to the war, the Max Lenz estate was transferred to the Central State Archives in Merseburg and returned to Berlin in 1993. With the exception of the separation of the letters from the other estate material, no order of the estate was discernible. In addition, the estate had been used several times in Merseburg and thus also got into disorder. In addition, the estate was enriched at a later point in time that can no longer be determined: At least one letter from 1963 (No. 62) has been added. The letters were divided into two correspondence series (private and professional correspondence) and arranged chronologically. Last no. given: The estate is to be quoted: GStA PK, VI.

Note by Müller: Lomé, church, foundation stone laid in 1906, contains: civil servants, merchants

Due to the administrative reform of 1879, the city of Blomberg, the offices of Blomberg, Schieder and Schwalenberg were combined to form the administrative office of Blomberg, which commenced its work on 1 October 1879 (Landesverordnungen vom 30.7.1879, p. 717 ff.). The judicial tasks previously performed by these offices were assigned to the district court of Blomberg, which was newly established on 1 October 1879 (LV 17 of 7 May 1879, p. 659 et seq.), as a result of the judicial reform and the dissolution of all previous courts. The administrative office was headed by a trained civil servant who was accompanied by a clerk. The civil servant chaired the local council meeting in which the individual local councils were represented. In special cases, he continued to carry out all the other duties assumed by the officials of the individual offices, as well as the lifting business. In addition, the bailiff in Blomberg had to continue to provide the conscription business [Musterung der Rekruten], since the administrative offices Blomberg and Detmold together formed the new excavation district Detmold, but with the two excavation sites Blomberg and Detmold. The Ordinance on the Formation of Administrative Districts of 23.7.1879 remained in force until the adoption of the Municipal Constitution Act of 1.2.1927, which came into force on 1.4.1928. - In 1928 the bailiff was replaced by a likewise trained administrative officer, the district administrator, who was the executive committee of the Amtsausschuss and also chaired the Amtstag (LV 40 of 1.12.1927, p. 303 ff.). The tasks and the administrative area were retained. With the administrative reform in the context of the safety device of the national budget and the budgets of the municipalities and municipality federations of 14.10.1931 (LV 31 of 14.10.1931, S. 393 ff.) the district administrator offices were dissolved and formed in Lippe two districts. The district office Blomberg was incoporated with the inclusion of the cities Blomberg and Schwalenberg to the new district Detmold. At the same time, however, in this district association the bailiff in Blomberg was established as the lowest administrative authority, to which the administrative area of the former district administration office Blomberg was subordinated (cf. D 105 The bailiff in Blomberg [now district archive Lippe, inventory K 1 Blomberg]). With the dissolution of the Blomberg District Office, the district welfare office in Blomberg also ceased to exist, and the district of Detmold took over its duties from then on. The files of the holdings L 109: Verwaltungs- und Landratsamt range from 1879 - with previous files - to 1932 and are connected to the official holdings L 108 Blomberg, L 108 Schieder as well as L 108 Schwalenberg. To quote is: L 109 Blomberg No. ... signed Wolf no. 416-481 from Zug. 49(49 a?)/1971 and 59/1972 as well as 482-512 from Zug. 73/2007; the existing classification had to be extended in some points and some new sub-items had to be added (1.1. ; 13.1. - 13.7.). 10.8.2006/12.11.2007/15.10.2008 signed Schwinger No. 513 and 514 from "Nachlass" Ingeborg Kittel added (see preliminary remark to L 108 Schwalenberg). 12.10.2009 signed Arno Schwinger

Inventory description: Dept. 180/1 Heylsche Lederwerke Liebenau Scope: 260 archive boxes and 7 linear metres of books/standing (= 1104 units of registration = 40 linear metres) Duration: 1879 - 1975 Acquisition, history of the inventory Dept. 180/1 comprises the most complete company archive within the archive holdings of the Worms municipal archive. It represents the development of the Worms leather industry, especially in the period from about 1922 to the end of production after its discontinuation at the factory in Worms-Neuhausen in 1974. There are no losses during the war, cassations of the material, of which nothing is known in detail, were obviously limited. After the end of production in the Liebenau plant (Neuhausen, area Kurfürstenstraße, today the workshops and administration of Lebenshilfe Worms are located there), the inventory, initially operating as Abt. 169 (until its renaming in 1996), was taken over by the Worms municipal archives in 1974 in consultation with Mr Ludwig Frhr. v. Heyl, born in 1920. Until 2008, it was stored in a standing position (mainly file folders, cf. fig.) in the Adenauerring office building, Oberer Keller, with a circumference of 49 linear metres. When the files were selected for submission to the archives, a considerable part of the documents relating to the work (which in turn were mixed with Heyl's family archives) was separated from the parts handed over to the archives; this part was transferred to the municipal archives in 1997 as Dept. 185. The latter, a very rich and extensive collection, has been listed since 2007 and contains both company and private documents of the von Heyl family. It is essential to use the inventory to supplement the source material available here (cf. in future the preface to the finding aid book). The archive holdings of Dept. 180/1 did not have a clear internal structure at the time of its transfer and were first opened up or provisionally in 1993/94 by the student Mr Burkhard Herd in preparation for his diploma thesis on the leather industry, written at the University of Mannheim in 1994, from 1933 to 1945 (using Heyl-Liebenau as an example). Herd numbered the folders and staplers (approx. 650 units) and entered them (without running times and closer registration according to the usually available back titles) into an alphabetical list of topics, which was able to convey a very compressed first impression of the material with twelve pages. Herd's subsequent work (masch. 144 p.) includes a partial evaluation of questions of Nazi economic history using the example of the leather industry. In this form the stock was always to be used only very limitedly. In 1993, Volker Brecher last evaluated the documents for his study on working conditions in the leather industry during the Second World War as well as for the question of the use of forced labourers. In 2007, Christoph Hartmann presented an analysis of selected aspects of company development in the 1920s. Apart from that, the value of the rich source material for the economic history of Worms and the entire development of the leather industry has remained unused to this day, even nationwide, due to the fact that it has not been developed. From December 2007 to the end of February 2009, the entire holdings were completely listed by the signatory and entered into 'Augias'. In the process, a classification was developed which attempts to take into account the essential overdelivery characteristics and structures of the material. The material was successively brought to the Raschi House and is mainly stored here. The classification reaches its limits where (how often) the documents mix family-private affairs with company matters, where foreign business and domestic activities are intertwined (this applies to the entire field of correspondence) and the like. There have been relatively clear distinctions in the area of personnel and the activities of the company director in committees, chambers and associations since 1942 and 1949, respectively. Main focus and significance About half of the documents are divided between the time before and after 1945; there were probably no war losses. The value of the stock for economic historical research is to be estimated very highly. The main focus in terms of time was between 1922/23 (independence of the company) and 1962 (death of Ludwig C. v. Heyl sen.) or the end of production in 1974. At the end of the 60s the factory still employed about 400 people. Heyl'schen Lederwerke Liebenau in Neuhausen was taken over in 1901 by Cornelius Wilhelm v. Heyl through the acquisition of the shares and integrated into Heyl'sche Gesamtunternehmen. The goatskin factory, which has existed since the end of the 19th century (formerly Schlösser

Literature references to Adolf Grimme's estate papers, which largely reflect his entire life's path, reached the Secret State Archives in several stages. A first very small part (approx. 0.10 running metres) was already handed over by the Federal Archives in 1969 (according to a letter from the archive dated 26.1.1976), further parts were taken over directly by Mrs. Josefine Grimme from 1974. The last parts of the estate listed were initially deposited in the archives (Depositalvertrag of 20 June 1974). This deposit was converted into a gift by Mrs. Josefine in June 1981. The autograph collection created by Grimmes was sold to the GStA in 1981 (also by Mrs Josefine). The entire holdings have thus become the property of the archive. Sabine Preuß, then Heidemarie Nowak, under the guidance of Dr. Cécile Lowenthal-Hensel, took charge of the holdings in the Secret State Archives. Josefine Grimme herself also carried out the orderly work once again. In addition, she identified signatures and put together correspondence in elaborate work. The distortion was finished by Inge Lärmer and Ute Dietsch. The initial decision to waive the inclusion of notes in correspondence was reversed when the titles were entered into the database in consultation with the head of unit, Dr. Iselin Gundermann. All files which had to be checked again in this context, especially for technical reasons, were checked for the necessity of containing notes in the interest of use and supplemented accordingly. This applies in particular to correspondence with artists or with very high-ranking personalities - personalities of contemporary history - or files with contents that are valuable for scientific analysis. Josefine Grimme stressed in her letters (including a letter of 27 July 1980) that the files were "essentially still as my husband had seen them". The Grimme couple deliberately designed Adolf Grimme's own registry and archive. After the sources were taken over by the archive, the aim was therefore not to destroy the order laid down by Adolf and Josefine Grimme. When using the holdings, it should therefore be noted that - if available - the inscriptions on master folders, the inscription of folders or fascicles or inserted notes with a summary of the contents of the respective folders (i.e. "file titles" issued by Grimme[s]) should be retained as far as possible and set in quotation marks in the reference book, if necessary - as an offer to the user - explained by "Contains note". The Josefine Grimme collections (group 1.1.3) were started by Adolf Grimme and therefore also left in context. It was agreed between Josefine Grimme and the archive that "the files blocked by her husband at the time and all personnel files after 1945" would not yet be made accessible for use (letter of the GStA of 13 March 1975 to Ms Grimme). In principle, these blocks have been maintained until 2010, even in compliance with data protection regulations (in particular groups 2.5.4 to 2.5.6). In the find-book, especially in the Correspondence group, the number of pieces (not the number of sheets) of existing documents can be seen in the file titles. "K" means that (mostly partially) there are only copies in the correspondence (the originals are then mainly in the autograph collection, which contains almost exclusively letters to Grimme - group 6.4). Reference files that Grimme kept from his time as Prussian Minister of Culture until his time as Lower Saxony Minister of Culture were not separated; they are classified in the time of the beginning of file formation (Prussian Ministry). The possible overlaps between the individual groups must also be taken into account during use. Since Josefine Grimme formed the files for the correspondence herself (with her own portfolio, counting of pieces and often also sheet counting, as can still be seen from the portfolio captions), it was decided that later or in other contexts letters from the respective correspondence partner would be listed in the archive as an extra volume and would not be incorporated into the existing portfolios. This explains, for example, overlaps in the runtimes of the individual volumes with the letters of a correspondence partner. Grimmes also retained the grouping of letters from some of his correspondence partners with the same initial letter into the subgroup "Individuals", in some cases supplemented by the note "Insignificant", since the latter documents were of no importance to Grimmes in the context in which they were written. The authors of the letters may well be historically important personalities. No cassations were made in the archive. Tapes of Adolf Grimme's speeches and performances were given to the Adolf Grimme Institute in Marl by Mrs Grimme in 1979. Waltraud Wehnau did some of the technical writing work (correspondence partner).
