Hospelt, Familien- und FirmenarchivIn 1964, Adolf von Lauff donated the estate of his father, the Rhenish poet Joseph von Lauff (1855-1933), to the city of Cologne. He had married the daughter of the Cologne factory owner and city councillor Wilhelm Anton Hospelt (1820-1893) Josephine Hospelt in 1882. Therefore, the company and family archive Hospelt, which had fallen to the family through inheritance (via Artur Hospelt?), was also part of the Lauff estate. This was separated from the Lauff estate (Order 1170) when it was taken over and set up as a separate portfolio (Order 1175). On the occasion of the review and order of the Lauff estate, the Hospelt estate was also rearranged. Some of the documents still in the Lauff estate on the Hospelt ink works (original minutes of shareholders' meetings; managing director correspondence Adolf v. Lauff) were incorporated into this collection. In the Lauff estate only those files remained which had arisen as a result of Lauff's share as a shareholder of Farbwerke. The archives of the Hospelt collection comprise four archive cartons. They were arranged roughly, the company files according to subject groups, the family papers according to persons. The order found was maintained - even if it mixed the provenances in various ways - but more strongly structured. The individual pieces were summarized and briefly characterized under Subject resulting from the respective existing material. The descendants' tables attached to the index are intended to clarify the family relationships and the inheritance of the company shares of Farbwerke Hospelt.

Karl Lamprecht (1856-1915) was one of the best-known and most distinguished German historians of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He studied history in Leipzig and Göttingen, habilitated in Bonn in 1880 and worked at the Rheinische-Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität first as a private lecturer and from 1888 as an extaordinarius. In 1890 he was called to Marburg and in 1891 to the University of Leipzig, where he worked until his death in 1915. In his research and publications, especially in his "Deutsche Geschichte" (German History) published between 1891 and 1909, Lamprecht stressed the importance of cultural history and the material prerequisites for the legal development of peoples and societies. In the course of this dispute, numerous historians took a stand against Lamprechts views and, in the tradition of Leopold von Rankes, emphasized the primacy of political and personal history. Today Karl Lamprecht is considered one of the founders of economic and social history. Other important fields of activity were the history of the country, university pedagogy and foreign cultural policy. 1915 Karl Lamprecht died leaving behind an extensive scientific legacy. In 1920 he was taken to Walbeck Castle (Geldern district), where his older daughter Marianne lived as the wife of the owner Walther Friedrich Klein-Walbeck since 1920. In 1931 and 1933, small parts of the estate were sent to the Leipzig Institute for Universal History, where they were either burned or badly damaged during the war. The remaining stock in Walbeck, or partially outsourced stock, also suffered damage from fire bombs and water during the Second World War. After the death of Marianne Klein-Walbeck (née Lamprecht) in 1946, the estate came into the possession of her younger sister Else Rose-Schütz (née Lamprecht). However, part of the estate was blasted off at that time and remained at Walbeck Castle, united with the Klein-Walbeck family archive. The Bonn University and State Library received the estate of Karl Lamprecht between 1957 and 2012 in a total of three tranches. The main estate remaining with Else Rose-Schütz (Tranche 1) was sold to the Bonn University Library in 1957. A very small part remained in family ownership. The part of the estate remaining on Klein-Walbeck (tranche 2) was deposited in the Kleve District Archive in 1996. In 2010, this part of the estate was transferred to the Bonn University and State Library. The positions that belonged to the Klein-Walbeck family archive in terms of cause and provenance remained in the district archive. In 2012, ULB Bonn received the letters still in family ownership (Tranche 3). In a project sponsored by the German Research Foundation (DFG), the entire estate in HANS was newly catalogued and verified in Kalliope. In addition, about two thirds of the documents have been digitised and are accessible online in the ULB's Digital Collections.

Description of the holdings: The personal papers of Ernst Schweninger were transferred to the Reichsarchiv in July 1926 by his widow, Mrs. Lena Schweninger. In September 1936, numerous letters from the Bismarck family to Ernst Schweninger, owned by Mrs. Ingeborg Schulze, Stuttgart, were added. A single volume (N 2281/184) was handed over to the Federal Archives in 2001. In the Second World War, the estate was relocated to the Soviet Union and then transferred to the GDR in two parts - 1950 and 1959 - and transferred to the Central State Archives in Potsdam. There he received the stock signature 90 Schw 4 and was indexed in 1980 by a finding index. In accordance with the agreement, the documents were blocked for any use until December 1956. In the course of German reunification in October 1990, the documents finally reached the Federal Archives and have since been kept under the inventory signature N 2281. In the year 1997 a finding aid book was provided to the existence, which represented a to a large extent unchanged copy of the finding aid file at that time. During the current processing, the archive units were transferred to the archive database BASYS-S. The archive units are now stored in the archive database BASYS-S. Classification, title recordings, terms were checked and partially corrected. Dr. Ernst Schweninger, the personal physician of Reich Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, has conducted extensive correspondence with many well-known personalities of his time, such as Herbert von Bismarck, Bernhard von Bülow, Maximilian Harden, Alfred Krupp and others. The tradition therefore consists mainly of letters from friends, colleagues, patients and not least family members and covers the period 1866 - 1925. Reference: E.
