History of the Inventor: On 7 November 1918, the Armistice Commission (WAKO) was formed to conduct armistice negotiations with the Interalied Permanent Armistice Commission (Commission interalliée permanente d'armistice); initially under the direct authority of the Reich Chancellor, since February / March 1919 under the auspices of the Federal Foreign Office; dissolved on 30 November 1918.9.1920. Inventory description: Inventory history The inventory was transferred from the Federal Foreign Office to the Reichsarchiv in 1929 and recorded in the sequence of registry signatures. After the files had been removed during the Second World War, the German Central Archive Potsdam (later the Central State Archive Potsdam) took over the armistice commission after 1945. Concrete information on war-related outsourcing losses could not be provided due to a lack of finding aids. It can be seen from the signatures of the individual volumes of records transferred to the Reich Archives that the losses were considerable in some cases. The first processing took place in the Reichsarchiv from Jan. 1932 to Apr. 1933 and again until Aug. 1934. Archival evaluation and processing As the Auswärtiges Amt announced at the time, the files were subjected to a review before they were handed over to the Reichsarchiv, albeit only an external one. The numerous duplicates and transcript collections, which each department had created separately for itself, were sorted out. The library of the Federal Foreign Office took over the collection of printed matter. Parts of the files had to be filed in the Reichsarchiv, since the Wako registry mainly used Leitz files, many of which contained only a few documents. On the basis of the list of files, the Federal Foreign Office often combined 4-5 documents that belonged together objectively and were laid out separately into one file volume. Both on the file and on its back the subjects were listed, so that the decomposition of the processes in the Reichsarchiv could be carried out effortlessly. Files that contained documents were bound, files that contained only copies without marginalia were filed in folders. Documents of general content, such as minutes of the Reichsministerien meetings, have not been handed down in the Wako files. The Wako received its instructions from the Imperial Ministries, where the corresponding file material might also be found. It acted only in special matters, which were seen as a kind of cooperation with the Interalliated Permanent Armistice Commission (Commission interalliée permanente d'armistice, Cipa). According to the Federal Foreign Office's statements, only the countless applications for entry to Alsace-Lorraine and the occupied territory in the West were segregated from the processed files. The latter were handed over to the Entente powers in lists, dealt with by them according to lists and later answered by the Wako on forms. In its short history, the Ceasefire Commission had not been able to find a truly stable organizational form. As a result, no longer valid registration scheme could be found. Without a substantial revision of the content, the titles of the files were entered into the database, largely in nominal form. The content of too many of the notes on contents was cut back. Based on the traditional list of files and the organisational structure of the Wako, the present classification was created, which underwent some changes through the creation of series and volume sequences in the archives. Due to the mixing of several processes within a file, it was not always possible to assign them unambiguously to the classification scheme. The currently valid continuous signatures of the Armistice Commission were issued in the Federal Archives in the 1990s. The necessary work and changes for the database-supported implementation and the creation of an online version took place in 2006. Content characterisation: Central registry and general department; subject area II Press; subject area III Information and passport matters; subject area VI Military matters; subject area VIII Affairs of the western occupied territory (except Alsace-Lorraine) and the neutral zone; subject area IX Poland; subject area S III Food import; interdisciplinary files 1918-1920; registration aids; printed matters; hand files of the financial expert of the WAKO, Dr. Carl Melchior.

Preliminary remark: The inventory FL 300/10 IV district court Esslingen: The Commercial, Cooperative and Associations Register was reformed as part of a systematic spin-off of register documents from the Local Court holdings, which was started in 2008, in order to create pure register holdings. It contains documents on the registration jurisdiction of the district court Esslingen, which so far in inventory FL 300/10 IV were registered only in tax lists and from the additions 1989, 1999/076, 2002/002, 2003/059, 2005/058, 2006/045 and 2006/070 originate. The volumes on the Trade and Cooperative Register as well as lists of cooperatives were sent to the State Archives with access 2013/025, the volumes on the Muster- und Zeichenregister, the Vereinsregister as well as evaluated Vereinsregister files with access 2014/060. For the use of trade and cooperative register files of the district court district of Esslingen, please refer to fonds F 264 II. In this inventory, the older register tradition is recorded under the abbreviation "HRG", i.e. both the company firms and the individual firms since the beginning of the commercial register in 1866. Also the companies with the first numbers of the series HRA and HRB after 1938 are in stock F 264 II. Since the F 264 II finding aid register was made available in an online version as part of the retroconversion, the time-consuming spin-off of this older register version was dispensed with. Since January 1, 2007, the Central Register Court in Stuttgart has been responsible for the commercial and cooperative register; this has also been accompanied by the conversion to the electronic register. Since 01.01.2014 also the register of associations is centralized there. To the individual register types: The inventory contains files, volumes and other documents (name lists, minutes) to the trade, cooperative, and association register. The commercial register files were named HRA (sole traders and partnerships) and HRB (corporations) according to the distinction customary today. The present volumes are divided into two time layers. From the establishment of the Commercial Register in 1866 until 1938, a distinction was made between sole proprietorships (designation E) and corporate proprietorships (designation G). In 1938, the current designations HRA and HRB were introduced. The volumes of the Commercial Register were rewritten in map form around 1965.note for use:In the case of register documents, there is a 30-year period for the blocking of material files for the main files, while the special files clearly visible as such ("special volumes") are freely accessible.in spring 2013 and summer 2014, the indexing work was carried out by Andrea Jaraszewski under the direction of the undersigned. The holdings include volumes 1-89 and the tufts 1-975 Ludwigsburg, in December 2014Ute Bitz

Search aids: Findbuch 2010 (online searchable) Registrar: District Directorate Bernburg, District Municipal Administration Bernburg, The Lord Mayor Bernburg as police authority; The formation of the districts in the Anhalt duchies dates back to 1848. The tasks and organisation of the district directorates were subject to frequent changes. In 1870 the districts were transformed into a municipal association with corporate rights. These so-called district municipal administrations thus joined the district directorates. The administration of the state and municipal district affairs was the responsibility of the state-appointed District Directorate, which thus headed both the District Directorate and the District Municipal Administration in personal union. In 1878, offices were inserted between the districts and the municipalities as a further administrative level. In 1932 the district directorates were abolished and replaced by the district offices. These were subordinated to the State Ministry (previously the District Directorates were subordinated to the Government). Department of the Interior). Among the special authorities integrated into the system were the district doctors and veterinarians, the district school supervisors, the building authorities, the surveying offices and the district treasuries. After the end of the 2nd World War, the circles initially remained in their traditional form. The changes in the district administrations in the spring of 1945 were largely limited to a new staffing. Until 1947 the district administration bodies were under the control of the district administrations, after their dissolution directly under the provincial government. Inventory information: The major part of the holdings was transferred to the former Landesarchiv Oranienbaum (now Landeshauptarchiv Sachsen-Anhalt, Department Dessau) in December 1959 by the council of the district of Bernburg/Kreisarchiv. Cadastral and surveying documents were archived by the cadastral office in Köthen in 2001. There were further increases due to several takeovers of individual file units and provenance adjustments within various holdings. For pragmatic reasons, the holdings "Kreisdirektion Bernburg I", "Kreisdirektion Bernburg II" and "Kreiskommunalverwaltung Bernburg" were merged to form one holding with the name "Kreisbehörden Bernburg". The background to this solution was that the files of the District Directorate and the District Municipal Administration were in any case difficult to separate, since the District Administrator was at the head of both authorities and both files were administered by the same registry. The traditions of the district court Bernburg, the district court Bernburg, the building administration Bernburg, the waterway office Bernburg, the national health office for city and district Bernburg and the offices in the district Bernburg form on the other hand own stocks. The successor institution of the Bernburg district authorities - the Bernburg district administration (from 1945) - also forms a separate inventory.

Origin and editing: During the formation of the large selection stock "Haus- und Staatsarchiv" in the 1870s and 1880s, the group "Staatssachen" was formed as Section III. The editor Ludwig Dietz mainly assembled files from the Margravial Archives, the Foreign Ministry (Diplomatic Section), Secret Cabinets, the War Ministry, and the Baden Army Commandos, and, as an exception, from the conversion, it seemed advisable to intervene editorially in order to make the online finding aid more user-friendly and clearer, at least in wording and textual form, without being able to make a new indexing: The title recordings were streamlined and provided with an additional "Contains" note. Also, in the area of name and location details in particular, clarifications had to be made. The expressly mentioned provenance data were noted in the field "Final provenance". Content: The originally so-called "Secret State Archives" mainly comprise the main and state actions of the state of Baden. Foreign policy and the war and military affairs of the early modern period and the 19th century form a focal point here. In addition to the files on the German Confederation, particular attention should be paid to those on the acquisition of the state and the territorial and succession issue. Reference should also be made to the group of treaties. Transitions to stocks I. Personalia (46) and II. Household and farm objects (47) of the Haus- und Staatsarchiv, the Großherzogliches Familienarchiv, the Geheimer Kabinett (60), the Staatsministerium (233) and the Kriegsministerium (238) are fluid. Usage: The stock is microfilmed. Use only via microfilm.
