The present file contains files of three different Prussian commissions which were responsible for the processing of compensation claims against the French state. Due to overlapping personnel and similar tasks, however, a relatively homogeneous file transmission results, the focus of which is on the activities of the main liquidation commission. On 3 June 1814 the Privy Councillor Johann Christian Magnus Freiherr von Oelssen (1775-1848) was appointed Commissioner for the Settlement of Compensation Claims of Prussian Nationals. He was supported by the Protestant General Consistorial President Johann Friedrich von Jacobi for a time. Wilhelm von Humboldt was in charge of the compensation matters. After the capture of Paris on 3 July 1815, Field Marshal Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher commissioned Friedrich Wilhelm Christian Ribbentrop (1768-1841), General Director of the Army, to negotiate the return of the works of art and cultural assets confiscated by the French troops in Prussia. To support him, war commissioner Jacoby and Prof. de Groote were assigned. In the further course, the Minister of State Karl vom Stein zum Altenstein (1770-1840) took over the negotiations and was supported by Johann Albrecht Friedrich Eichhorn (1779-1856), a member of the Court of Appeal, and Crull, a governor of Düsseldorf. After the Second Peace of Paris on 20 November 1815, the Prussian Liquidation Commission was finally formed. As liquidation commissions were also established in the Prussian provinces in the course of this period, the name of the main liquidation commission was established for the commission that initially met in Paris. The main task of this Commission was to negotiate with the French authorities on the approval of compensation figures for compensation claims submitted by Prussian nationals, authorities and municipalities during the French occupation. One territorial focus was on the areas that fell to Prussia after the peace agreement (including the Rhine Province). A large part of the files handed down contain the claims for compensation submitted and the Commission's decision on the legality of these claims. Wilhelm von Humboldt was appointed as the first Commissioner and Crull as the second Commissioner of the Governorate. Commissioner Crull also set up an Arbitration Commission based in Paris to rule on disputed claims for compensation. The main liquidation commission was later transferred to Berlin and dissolved in 1823. At a time that could no longer be determined, the Commission's files entered the holdings of the PK Secret State Archives and were recorded by the archivist Karl Sattler at the end of the 19th century. The stock was not outsourced during the Second World War. Therefore, the files remained in Berlin-Dahlem during the period of German division. However, since the find book was lost, the stock was again recorded by archivist Gerhard Kutzsch in 1953. This find book was retroconverted in 2013 by archives clerk Guido Behnke. The classification has been recreated. In addition, the existing file titles were reviewed and revised. In some cases, individual files had to be redrawn. The files of the stock were partially affected by water damage. Due to the resulting mould infestation, some of the files listed in this Reference Guide cannot currently be submitted for use. In addition, the collection includes approximately 50 official books (mainly cash books, directories, journals), which could not yet be recorded due to mould infestation.

Foreword On 24 February 1812 an alliance treaty was signed between Prussia and France (Paris Convention), which obliged Prussia to provide military support to France in all wars in Europe - except in Spain, Italy and Greece. The French troops were allowed to march through Prussia with food and horses. The French commanders received extensive powers, so that Prussia was in fact again under French occupation. Major General Friedrich Karl Heinrich Graf von Wylich und Lottum was entrusted with the implementation of the Paris Convention of 24 February 1812, as far as the supply of the reserve magazines at home and abroad and all negotiations with the French General Director Matthieu Graf Dumas were concerned. Major General Count von Wylich und Lottum had already been head of the old army catering system (field catering department, general catering department and general catering directorate) since November 1810. As General Commissioner he conducted the army catering negotiations with the French Marshal Louis-Nicolas Davout (Prince Eckmühl) in Szczecin in March and April 1812. After the return of the Major General Count von Wylich and Lottum to Berlin in April 1812, the office for feeding the French troops was set up, which was then called the General Commissariat for feeding the French and Allied troops. The present files originate from the negotiations between Major General Count von Wylich and Lottum and the French Marshal Davout (Prince Eckmühl) in Stettin (Stettiner Akten) and were not combined with the files of the office for the catering of the French troops. Only a few volumes of the Szczecin files were continued in Berlin, which were integrated into the GStA PK, I. HA Rep. 130 Generalkommissariat to feed the French and Allied troops. The holdings GStA PK, I. HA Rep. 129 A Registratur[by Friedrich Karl Heinrich Graf von Wylich and] Lottum about the catering of French troops (army catering negotiations) comprises 11 sections, most of which are still divided into several parts. An inventory file could not be found in the Secret State Archives of Prussian Cultural Heritage, which is why the details of the inventory history are unknown. For the inventory, there is a register of authorities, which was prepared by the secret registrar and privy councillor Schmidt. The collection was revised in October 1969 in the former Central State Archives of the GDR Merseburg office. In 2007, the register was entered into the Augias database by the archival inspector Verena Kohnke and revised, partly rearranged and classified by the undersigned. Some file titles and contained notes were checked and in some cases supplemented. In addition, the portfolio was re-signed in 2007 by Mr. Szal.
