History of administration: Mayor Kirchenpauer, who as Hamburg's representative was commissioned with the negotiations in Berlin leading to the establishment of the North German Confederation, was also appointed as the first authorised representative to the Bundesrat of the North German Confederation. After the creation of the German Reich it became customary to appoint deputies (substitutes); later 2 senators and the Hanseatic envoy in Berlin were always commissioned with the permanent representation of the authorized representative. For the period in question there were the following authorised representatives and substitutes: Years Authorised representative 1.Substitute 2.Substitute 3.Substitute 1868-1871 Kirchenpauer --- --- --- 1872-1873 Kirchenpauer Schroeder --- --- 1874-1880 Kirchenpauer Schroeder Krüger, Min.-Resident --- 1881-1887 Versmann Schroeder Krüger, Min.---Resident --- 1888-1896 Versmann Schroeder Burchard Krüger, Envoy 1897-1899 Versmann Schroeder Burchard Klügmann, Envoy 1900-1903 Burchard Schroeder Lappenberg Klügmann, Envoy 1904-1907 Burchard Lappenberg Klügmann, Envoy --- 1908-1909 Burchard Lappenberg Sthamer and Schäfer Klügmann, Minister 1910-1912 Burchard Sthamer Schäfer Klügmann, Minister 1913-1915 Sthamer Predöhl Schäfer Sieveking, Minister Waren initially the authorized senators still present at all negotiations of the Bundesrat and the Ministerresident Dr. Krüger only exceptionally once entrusted with the perception of the Hamburg interests, so the picture shifted more and more, until finally the presence of an authorized representative of the Senate was limited only to particularly important matters. In the same way, the emphasis of the federal negotiations shifted from the archive of the Plenipotentiary to that of the Hanseatic Legation in Berlin (cf. I 5 g). This contains more and more all the material that is produced, which in terms of quantity far exceeds the actual records of the legation. Since 1894, however, the archive of the Plenipotentiary has gradually been incorporated into the registry of the Senate Commission for Reich and Foreign Affairs. In 1901 the last special files of the authorized representative were created, the series of the reports partially still reach up to 1913. Archiving history: The authorized representative, who owned 2 living rooms and an archive room in the Hotel Royal in Berlin, had at his disposal a clerk for the chancellery and registry, who accompanied him from Hamburg to Berlin and back. The files, however, only partly took part in these journeys, the rest remained in the administration of the Embassy Registrar. While most of them have reached the State Archives or the registries of other authorities via the estates of the authorized senators, the latter forms the core of the archive listed below. An older part of the order dating back to the time of the mayor Kirchenpauer in the order of the Chancellor's lists Ernst already reached the State Archives in the 80's, where he was published in Cl.I Lit. No. 3 of the Senate Acts was drawn up as Vol. 3 and combined with some of the files taken from the estates of various proxies as well as the convolutes (in particular reports, instructions, etc.) later handed over to the State Archives by the archives of the proxies. A more recent part, predominantly from the time of the plenipotentiaries Versmann and Burchard, was first kept at the Senate Commission for Reich and Foreign Affairs, apart from the pieces already mentioned, which were handed over to the State Archives, and then delivered to the State Archives with their files. He remained there separately in his original order. In this case, which the chancellor list Hertel had newly created in 1880 without including or even observing older procedures, each question newly opened by a Bundesrat printed matter received a consecutive number in chronological order, regardless of whether a file already existed for the same procedure. Only paragraphs 1 - 5, which were intended for general matters such as reports, etc., covered all the material belonging here. In the reorganization, which took place according to factual aspects, the part contained in the Senate acts and the last part mentioned were united. In addition, a number of files belonging to this archive, which had previously been kept at the estate of the mayor Versmann, were incorporated into the archive. The history of these holdings makes it understandable that the present "Archive of the Hamburg Plenipotentiary to the Bundesrat" is in no way a closed archive. Rather, we are dealing with a fund compiled from fragments of the handfiles of the various proxies that arose on the Hamburg side during the negotiations of the Federal Council, which, together with the similar holdings of the Hanseatic Legation in Berlin, can only supplement the Senate files and, from 1894, the files of the Senate Commission for Reich and Foreign Affairs. The inventory shall be quoted as follows: State Archives Hamburg, 132-5/4 Hamburg Authorized Representative to the Bundesrat, Nos. ... Description of the existing situation: Mayor Kirchenpauer, who as the representative of Hamburg was commissioned with the negotiations in Berlin to establish the North German Confederation, was appointed as the first authorised representative to the Bundesrat of the North German Confederation. After the foundation of the German Reich, it became customary to appoint substitutes. 2 senators and the Hanseatic envoy in Berlin were always commissioned with the permanent representation of the commissioner. In practice, it became established that the Plenipotentiary was only present on very important occasions, while the envoy, who was always present in Berlin, visited the Bundesrat negotiations. Accordingly, the records increasingly shifted to the Gesandtschaftsarchiv. Since 1894, the archive of the Plenipotentiary was gradually transferred to the registry of the Senate Commission for Reich and Foreign Affairs. In 1901 the last special files of the authorized representative were created, the series of reports partly reach up to 1913. The present order contains among other things the concepts of the reports of the Plenipotentiary (1866-1911,1913), copies of the reports of the Hanseatic Envoy in Federal Council matters (1880-1907), instructions for the Plenipotentiary (1868-1901) and correspondence in general affairs of the Reich, of the Bundesrat and the Reichstag (1866-1907) as well as fact files in consular matters (1867-1899) and other factually structured matters, which originate predominantly from the hand files of the various proxies.

Administrative history: At the suggestion of Dr. jur. Friedrich Geffcken, Hamburg's business bearer in Berlin, the Hamburg Residence (cf. 132-5/1) was converted into a Hanseatic residence in 1859. Geffcken was appointed Hanseatic Prime Minister. When he took over the residence in London in 1866, he was replaced by the former Hanseatic envoy to the Bundestag and envoy on extraordinary mission in Copenhagen, Dr. Daniel Christian Friedrich Krüger (see co-owner of the company Lüb. GmbH 12/1906 page 119 - Estate in the archive Hansestadt Lübeck (list p. 745) G. Fink, Dr. Friedrich Krüger / Der Wagen, 1937, page 163 following with illustrations) as Ministerresident. At the same time, he was Lübeck's authorized representative and deputy authorized representative of Hamburg and Bremen to the Federal Council. In 1888 he received the title of extraordinary envoy and authorized minister. He was represented on various occasions by the Brunswick business bearer, Legation Councillor Dr. v. Liebe, who used to represent the Hamburg business bearer in the past, and later by the Lübeck Senator Dr. Karl Peter Klügmann, who was succeeded by Krüger after his death in 1896 in the same position he held last. He retired in 1913; he was replaced by Dr. Karl Sieveking, Senior Government Councillor and Deputy Representative of Alsace-Lorraine to the Federal Council. In contrast to his predecessors, he was only deputy representative to the Federal Council for all three cities. He was retired when the Hanseatic Legation was dissolved on 30 June 1920. Hamburg (cf. I 5 h) and Lübeck have since maintained their own legations in Berlin. With the conversion of his Hamburg residence into a Hanseatic residence, Geffcken ordered his registry in such a way that the files concerning group A before 1859, the files concerning more recent Hamburg matters concerning group B, the Bremen C files, the Lübecker D files and the files concerning Community matters concerning group E formed group A. Under Krüger, who also brought his archives from Copenhagen and Frankfurt with him to Berlin, the registry was reorganized according to factual aspects. Within the subject groups, a distinction was sometimes made between the three cities and those things which were common to all of them; do was an exception, and overall this plan of order did not include such an external division, which was also difficult to carry out in practice. From the Geffcke registry only a little was taken over into the new one, the rest was left as a reduced registry in its form. When Krüger died in 1896, it turned out that the registry, which had grown considerably in the meantime, had already become very confusing and had sometimes become disorganized. Heins, the registrar of the legation, was commissioned to conduct the sifting. He arranged them according to the existing directory and distinguished between Lübecker, Bremer, Hamburger and common things for each file title. The Lübeckers (parts from E III e, F III g 3, F VIII, J 35, M 4 and N 1) were then sent to the Lübeck archive, the Bremeners (parts from E III c, F III g 3, F VIII, J 35, N 1, O I f 1 and 2) to the Bremen archive, all the rest to Hamburg (Geffcken registry with expiration). of 02.05.1896, common things with expiration. of 29.05.1896, Hamburg things with expiration. of 01.06.1896), after Klügmann's suggestion to transfer the common things to Lübeck had not penetrated. In Hamburg, the latter should be carefully reviewed once again and distributed among the cities. But only the Lübeck archivist insisted on it, and so the common things were divided by Dr. Becker once again into the following groups: Hamburg, Hamburg and Lübeck, Hamburg and Bremen, Lübeck, Lübeck and Bremen, Bremen, common things, and in 1902 everything that Lübeck also concerned was sent to Lübeck. While the first splitting by Heins had already led to a rupture of the registry contexts, which was all the more absurd as much was obviously classified incorrectly, the second splitting carried out in Hamburg finally led to practically every second subject being searchable in both the Lübeck and Hamburg archives. Some fragments of this registry that remained in Berlin came to the Hamburg archives with the delivery of 26.09. and October 1913. The files still needed by Klügmann for the ongoing administration, on the other hand, formed the basis of a new registry set up by Heins in 1897, which was in use until the end of the legation. The main department "Reichs- und Bundesratssachen" (I) was divided into subject groups A-Z, the main department "Gesandtschaftssachen" (II) into the groups HG I-VII (I-XII originally planned), of which I-IV comprised common affairs of the legation, V Lübecker, VI Bremer and VII Hamburger. Apart from the groups HG V-VII, which were handed over to the respective cities, a system cannot be discerned in the delivery of the files of this registry to the three Hanseatic archives. The Hamburg State Archives received the following deliveries: 1. 22.07.1902, contains files of Hauptabteilung I, 2. 02.09.1904, contains files of Hauptabteilung I, 3. 20.10.1909, contains files of Hauptabteilung I, 4. 25.10.1910, contains files of Hauptabteilung I, 5. 11.02.1913, contains files of Hauptabteilung I, 6. 26.09.1913, contains files of Hauptabteilung I (in addition some pieces from the delivery of October 1913), 7. 22.07.1902, contains files of Hauptabteilung I, 2. 02.09.1904, contains files of Hauptabteilung I, 3. 20.10.1909, contains files of Hauptabteilung I, 4. 25.10.1910, contains files of Hauptabteilung I, 5. 11.02.1913, contains files of Hauptabteilung I, 6. 26.09.1913, contains files of Hauptabteilung I (in addition some pieces from the delivery of October 1913), 7. 07.01.1915, contains files from Department I, 8. 09.06.1916, contains files from Department I and II, 9. 07.07.1916, contains files from Department I, 10. 12.10.1916, contains files from Department I, 11. 28.09.1918, contains files from Department I and II, 12. 20.11.1919, contains files from Department I and II, 13. 29.06.1916. contains unsigned files. In the reorganisation of the archive, in the interest of easy usability of the torn holdings, the old registry scheme had to be retained, both for the older (until 1896) and for the newer registry (from 1896), as had been the case in Lübeck, where a complete repositioning under the signature "ad B 11 a 3 c 1" was carried out in Bremen. Until 1859, the Geffckenschen Registratur set up the files as an archive of the Hamburgische Residentur (I 5 f), the rest of the "Älteren Registratur" were incorporated. Occasionally necessary reassignments and rearrangements within the Older Registry are noted in the last column. There is also indicated, if there is something in the two other Hanseatic archives for the same process. (Bremen, however, only if it could be recognized despite the reorganization). The file titles not available in Hamburg are also listed; the consecutive number is then placed in brackets. The groups A II and J from the delivery of 01.06.1896 concerning Hamburg were missing in the reorganization of the Older Registry. Inventory description: The conversion of the Hamburg Residency into a Hanseatic Legation was carried out on the proposal of the Hamburg business bearer Dr. Geffcken 1859. The Hanseatic Legation was dissolved on 30.06.1920. Hamburg and Lübeck have since maintained their own agencies in Berlin. The present collection consists of two parts. The older registry essentially comprises the files kept until the death of Minister President Dr. Krüger in 1896. The registry in use in the Legation from 1897-1920 forms the core of the Newer Registry, which is divided into Reich and Federal Council matters and legation matters. The registry property was divided among the participating Hanseatic towns according to the issues involved. Common things have reached Hamburg and Lübeck. Therefore a strong fragmentation of the registry connections is given. The inventory shows which files or parts of files are located in Lübeck. (Ga)

Inventory description: Dept. 159 Herrnsheimer Dalberg-Archiv (files, official books) Size: 1943 units of description (= 27 lfm = 201 archive cartons, 2 large cartons, 2 lfm oversized formats - own inventory: 1878 VE, remainder in Heylshof = 64 VE, with sub-VE in total) 2015) Duration: 1445 - 1866 Zur Familie und Herrschaft Dalberg (Note 1) The family of the chamberlains of Worms, later called 'von Dalberg', belonged as an influential family association to the episcopal ministry of Worms. Since 1239 she held the hereditary office of the chamberlain of Worms; this was later associated with economic-financial privileges in Worms, court rights and the Jewish Court in Worms. Since the 14th century, the family has succeeded in expanding various ownership complexes between Niederelsass and Hunsrück, with a focus on Wormsgau. This also includes the expansion of power in the towns of Herrnsheim and Abenheim, which began in the 14th century, through the acquisition of feudal rights and property (2). The dominion complex with Herrnsheim and Abenheim was predominantly surrounded by Electoral Palatinate territory. Around 1460 a castle was erected in Herrnsheim (castle) and a surrounding wall was built around the village; between 1470 and 1492 a chapel of the local parish church of St. Peter was converted into a burial place, which has led to the development of the situation of a small residential town in Herrnsheim, which can still be seen today from the buildings and the townscape. Today's Herrnsheim Castle, owned by the town of Worms since 1958, was built together with the important English landscape garden in two construction phases from 1808 to 1814 and from 1820 to 1824. The dominion of Dalberg is a typical middle imperial knighthood territory. Since the late Middle Ages, the Dalberg dynasty had provided the fiefdoms of the Electorate of Mainz and Palatinate and held important ecclesiastical offices, including the bishop of Worms, Johann von Dalberg (1445-1503). The family split into different lines and branches. Outstanding persons for whom the collection contains material are Carl Theodor von Dalberg (1744-1817, Elector of Mainz, Grand Duke of Frankfurt); Wolfgang Heribert von Dalberg (1750-1806, Minister of State in Mannheim, Director of the National Theatre); Johann Friedrich Hugo von Dalberg (1760-1812, bishop and humanist); Emmerich Joseph Duc de Dalberg (1773-1833, diplomat and politician). In 1883 John Dalberg-Acton sold Herrnsheim Castle with all its interior and the park from his family's estate to Cornelius Wilhelm Heyl (Cornelius Wilhelm Freiherr von Heyl zu Herrnsheim), a leather industrialist from Worms, due to financial shortages (3). Thus also the library stored there and the documents and files of the Herrnsheimer Dalberg Archive of the previous owners were transferred to the buyer. After the death of his father in 1923, D. Dr. jur. Cornelius Freiherr Heyl zu Herrnsheim took over the castle, which he officially moved into in April 1929 (4). In the years of the Second World War the documents were relocated several times for safety reasons and probably suffered incomprehensible, but rather smaller losses (5). Until it was converted into an apartment, the Dalberg Archive was housed in a special archive room locked with an iron door in the castle, then in the library in the tower room on the first floor. When Siegfried Freiherr von Heyl zu Herrnsheim, son of D. Dr. jur. Cornelius Frhr. Heyl zu Herrnsheim, sold the castle to the city of Worms in July 1958 (6), the documents, files and official books of the Dalberg archive kept in boxes and bundles were not part of the sale. However, it was to be left on loan to the town on the basis of an agreement with the community of heirs (in autumn 1959) and an inventory was to be taken before a corresponding contract was concluded (7). This work was done by Carl J. H. Villinger (8), who handed over his summary list with the disaggregation to Dr. Georg Illert on 3.7.1964 (9). The draft of the loan contract was completed to the satisfaction of both parties at the end of 1965, so that there was nothing to prevent it from being concluded the following year. On 19 July 1966, lawyer H. Ramge, in his capacity as joint executor of the will, surprisingly approached the city with the offer that it could purchase the Dalberg Archive and the library holdings of Herrnsheim Palace from the estate of D. Dr. jur. Cornelius Freiherr Heyl zu Herrnsheim (10). With the support of the Landesarchivverwaltung Koblenz, which prepared an expert opinion on the basis of Villinger's list, the value was determined and one year later - in July 1967 - the documents were sold to the city. Thus, the Dalberg Archive, which according to the decree of the Prime Minister of Rhineland-Palatinate of 13.7.1961 had been entered into the state register of nationally valuable archives, could remain in Worms as a closed collection (11). A more detailed inventory should then be made, which was completed before the archive was moved to the city archive for security reasons. Villinger had compiled a detailed list of the contents of the 39 archive boxes, the qualitative condition of which was indicated from good to partly very poor, and of the remaining archive documents (12). On the basis of this list of Villingers, the lack of various documents and files as well as individual letters from correspondence series and gaps in official book series could be ascertained (13). In 1980 Siegfried Freiherr Heyl zu Herrnsheim handed over 14 sealed parchment documents and in 1985 his daughter, Mrs. Cornelia von Bodenhausen, another 72, partly decorative documents from the former possession of the treasurers of Worms Freiherr von Dalberg to the Foundation Kunsthaus Heylshof (14). The documents kept there were examined with the consent of the then Chairman of the Board of Trustees, Frhr. Ludwig von Heyl, as part of the project for the Dalberg Regestensammlung under the auspices of Hess. Staatsarchivs Darmstadt microfilmed in Darmstadt in 1985 and included in the Regestenwerk (15). The further written material lying in the Heylshof such as files, correspondence etc. could be taken into account in the preparation of the present repertory (16). Some files, which were offered at an auction in Heidelberg in 1984, could be bought with the support of the Altertumsverein Worms (17). Also in 1994, with the financial support of the Kulturfonds der Wormser Wirtschaft, the city was able to acquire 23 official and accounting books from private sources, which were added to the collection. With the help of this material, gaps in existing series could be closed again. Among these acquisitions was also the inventory "Verzeichnis der Urkunden, Schriftstücke etc. des Kämmerer-Dalbergarchivs Schloß Herrnsheim...", compiled in 1919 by Heyl's librarian and archivist Wilhelm Graf, in which he [until then] had only recorded the documents (18). For the use and recording of the Dept. 159 This inventory, Dept. 159, comprises the Herrnsheimer Dalberg Archive (files and official books), which, together with the other inventories, Dept. 159-U Herrnsheimer Dalberg Archive (documents) and Dept. 159-P Dalberg Plan Collection, comprises the entire collection of the archive of the chamberlains of Worms Freiherr von Dalberg, formerly kept in the Herrnsheimer Palace. As a complex aristocratic archive within the holdings of the Worms City Archive, it is of supra-regional importance. It reflects the work of a knightly aristocratic family with its lordly function and family ties. After the takeover of the material by the city of Worms in 1967, the directory prepared by C. J. H. Villinger served as a finding aid for years. In the archive, the bundles and official books of No. 1 - No. 428 were numbered consecutively and recorded in a corresponding list. While the documents (No. 1 - No. 323, plus sub-numbers (19)) already registered in 1919 by the Heyl's librarian and archivist Wilhelm Graf in document folders with numbers and title entries were initially easy to use, the files and folders with short titles and box numbers contained in the remaining archive boxes were relatively reliably findable, but only vaguely citable due to missing individual signatures. After in the 1980s the processing of the Dalbergian document holdings in Darmstadt, Worms (Stadtarchiv, Heylshof, Pfarrarchiv Herrnsheim) and in other archives had been implemented under the auspices of the Hessisches Staatsarchiv Darmstadt, a more precise indexing of the files was started as a further project (20). Dr. Jürgen Rainer Wolf of the Hessisches Staatsarchiv Darmstadt processed the documents kept in the other archive boxes of the Worms Dalberg Archive, which were brought to Darmstadt for this purpose. However, only a part of the boxes (21) was opened, and each box was given a number with sub-numbers separated by slashes for the individual pieces contained therein. However, the work did not come to a conclusion. With immediate effect Wolf's finding aid, which also included official book series, had to be used in addition to the directory compiled by Villinger (22). From then on, the use of the holdings was regarded as a particular challenge, especially since there was also a link between the holdings of documents and files. This was because, at the time of the document project, the comprehensive record of documents also included the documents lying dormant in the files, the location of which was then not reliable or only difficult to secure (23). At the beginning of 2011, due to the unsatisfactory usability of the inventory on the one hand and due to the discontinuous and inconsistent depth of distortion on the other hand, the complete new distortion of the file inventory was decided and completed in October 2012. The signatures should not be changed completely, but as many as possible should be preserved and the link with existing old signatures by means of concordance should of course be guaranteed. The titles were recorded directly in the Augias archive program, at the same time the documents were embedded in acid-free archive folders and boxes. "The numbering of the convolutes was retained as signatures and, if necessary, sub-numbers separated by slashes were assigned as soon as the mostly extensive fascicles contained various individual folders. "The official records retained their signatures. "The Wolf's units of description with their signatures (no. 430/1ff - no. 440/1ff) were taken over, sifted through and the existing title recordings were deepened and supplemented on the basis of the newly recorded pieces. "Documents (24) possibly in the files, which were considered in the Dalberger Regesten volumes, were seized with the title admission both over the old signature, and usually with reference to the sequential number in the second volume of the Dalberger Regesten (25). "The further archive boxes not yet taken up by Wolf were continued and listed according to the given pattern, i.e. each further archive box received a new number (No. 442ff (26)) and the individual files, folders etc. preserved therein were provided with sub-numbers, separated by a slash. "The unlisted material found at the end of the inventory was then added with consecutive signatures. "The Dalberg letters purchased on various occasions in the 1970s, mainly letters from Carl Theodor von Dalberg, which had been integrated into the collection at the time, also remained with the new indexing in Dept. 159. " The documents kept at Kunsthaus Heylshof were recorded and selected pieces digitized (27). The digital copies were integrated in the Worms Municipal Archives into the collection of Dept. 159, since the pieces of their provenance can be attributed to the former Herrnsheim Dalberg Archive. In the case of the originals, the signatures of the city archives were noted, while the numbering used in the Heylshof (28) was recorded as an "old signature" in the title recording. This enables targeted access to the originals at Heylshof if required. "Within the scope of the registration work also the files of Dept. 159 N were dissolved (29) and inserted into Dept. 159 (now Dept. 159 No. 852 - No. 884). These are files, correspondence and family papers (mainly on the Petersau donation and the Tascher affair), which obviously also belonged to the Dalberg Archive in the past. These once formed the inventory of Dept. 158 of Dalberg, which must have existed before 1967, about its origin, i.e. (pre-)provenance before transfer into the archive, but no information is available. During the title recording it became apparent that the inventory did not have a coherent structure and that the development of a system would only make sense after completion of the work. The classification was finally drawn up on the basis of the main points of content. The assignment of each individual unit of description to the corresponding classification group then took place in a final work step, after the completion of which a real overview of the contents of the present tradition and its meaning in its entirety could be obtained. Contents The documents that were last kept in the library tower of Herrnsheim Castle before being transferred to the Worms City Archives essentially comprise archival documents relating to the Herrnsheim Dalberg Line. By the marriage (oo 12.1.1771) Wolfgang Heribert von Dalbergs with Elisabetha Augusta nee Ulner von Dieburg (30) as well as by connections of the Dalberger with other families further document and file material was added. The collection of Dept. 159 as part of the Herrnsheimer Dalberg Archive comprises the file and official book tradition, the temporal focus of which clearly lies in the 18th and the first half of the 19th century. The early material (from 1249) is mostly copies of documents. A copy in which a large number of documents were recorded between 1249 and 1469 (31) deserves special mention here. Temporal "runaways" in the 20th century came about through subsequent additions to the holdings. On the one hand, various correspondences and records had been added sporadically at the time of the von Heyl family (32) and on the other hand, in connection with the purchase of Dalberg letters, the corresponding correspondence had been left with the letters (33). The most closed collection within the Dept. 159 is the archive material dating back to Emmerich Joseph von Dalberg (1773-1833). Due to the fact that with him the Herrnsheimer Dalberg line died out in the male tribe, after the death of his father Wolfgang Heribert all administrative matters of the Herrnsheimer line and after the death of his uncle Carl Theodor von Dalberg as his universal heir were incumbent upon him the order and administration of his inheritance including the Regensburg endowment. Furthermore and especially in Dept. 159 there is the diplomatic estate of the Duc de Dalberg with numerous memoirs, correspondence and rich material (targeted collection, own records etc.) on the (foreign) policy of France and other European countries. In addition, its business activities are richly reflected, not least in the activities of the Paravey Bank.

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.

History of the Baden embassies: Until 1871 Baden had maintained its own missions to the German Confederation, in Bavaria, Belgium, France, Hanover (until 1866), Hesse (Grand Duchy of Hesse), Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, Prussia, Saxony, Switzerland and Württemberg, as well as numerous overseas consulates (8 in the USA alone). The same states were also represented in Baden. With Baden's entry into the German Reich, his foreign powers were transferred to it and all Baden embassies were dissolved; only the embassy in Berlin remained in existence until 1918 or 1945. The legations in Stuttgart and Munich were re-established in Munich in 1894 in personal union and functioned until 1919. Conversely, in Karlsruhe after 1871, there were still legations from Bavaria, Belgium, Brazil, Great Britain (chargés d'affaires), Prussia, Russia and Spain, albeit with smaller personnel and fewer competences. Furthermore, numerous consulates remained as before, most of which were based in Mannheim. Tradition: The files of the legations dissolved in 1871 were handed over by the State Ministry to the General State Archives in 1887 with the condition that they be kept as a whole, i.e. not to be torn apart. Friedrich von Weech therefore established a "Gesandtschaftsarchiv" at the Haus- und Staatsarchiv as its abbot IV in accordance with the provenance. In 1934, the files of the Baden legations in Berlin were submitted from 1884 and Munich from 1894 onwards, others followed until 1951. Development: In 1907-1909, the legation files submitted until then were recorded, renumbered after 1950 and copied by typewriter in 1966; in 2010, Ms Sigrun Gees produced an online version of them. Parallel holdings: holdings 48, here: Diplomatic correspondence (counter tradition of the Baden government), embassies, consulates, fonds 233, here: Legations, especially no. 34795-34836 (reports of the Baden legation in Berlin 1874-1933) and no. 34863-34871 (reports of the Baden legation in Munich and Stuttgart 1894-1919).

History of the holder: 1867 Foundation of the Federal Chancellery as the central authority for the direct administrative tasks of the North German Confederation (postal and telegraph services, consular affairs) with the exception of foreign affairs, the supervision of the implementation of federal law by the individual states, the preparation of federal legislation and the federal budget as well as the editing of the Federal Law Gazette; After the founding of the German Reich in 1871, the tasks were considerably expanded and the office was renamed the Reich Chancellery; from 1873, successive spin-offs of Reich offices subordinate to the Reich Chancellery (1873 Reich Railway Office, 1875 Reich Post Office, 1877 Reich Office of Justice and Ministry for Alsace-Lorraine, 1879 Reich Treasury); 1879 renamed Reich Office of the Interior. Inventory description: Inventory history The Imperial Offices, which were established at the end of the 1970s, took over the files relating to their respective tasks from the Imperial Chancellery as preliminary files in order to carry out their current business activities. The rest remained with the Reich Office of the Interior, so that the present fonds came to the Reich Archives exclusively via the new Reich Offices and were only formed into a fonds here. As the files of the Reich Chancellery were continued organically in the Reich Offices, the delimitation of the holdings was often arbitrary when the files were transferred to the Reich Archives. After being relocated during the Second World War, the German Central Archive in Potsdam (later the Central State Archive in Potsdam) took over the Reich Chancellery after 1945. Due to the lack of older finding aids, it is not possible to provide specific information about losses due to the war. However, it can be inferred from the shelfmarks of the individual volumes of files that the losses remained low. Archival evaluation and processing The first processing of the Reich Chancellery fonds took place from June 1956 to February 1957 at the German Central Archives in Potsdam. With the exception of the secret files, the fonds were simply indexed. In its short history, the Federal and Reich Chancellery had not been able to find a truly stable organizational form. As a result, it was not possible to find or reconstruct a long-term registry scheme. The revision of the 1972 Findbuch required for printing therefore only allowed for slight editorial corrections. While largely retaining the thematic order created on the basis of the task structure, volumes of files were only reassigned to their original structural parts in individual cases. Due to the high value of the holdings, the cassation rate was essentially limited to multiple transfers.

History of the Inventor: During the 1st World War, occupied Belgium was subordinated to a governor general. His chief of the general staff had to secure the area militarily; next to him stood a chief of the civil administration. Inventory description: By cabinet order of 23.8.1914 the occupied Belgium was subordinated to a general government. His chief of the general staff had to secure the area militarily; next to him stood a chief of the civil administration. From 1915 an independent "Political Department of the General Governor in Belgium" was subordinated to the civil administration, to which the following tasks were assigned: 1. diplomacy, 2. domestic politics, 3. Belgian-American food factory, 4. Belgian archives, 5. press. Characterization of content: The records of the Political Department include records and files of Schwertfeger and his collaborators Professor Dr. Karl Spannagel and Professor Dr. Alfred Doren. Schwertfeger's handfiles consist mainly of copies of the Belgian diplomatic reports, from which Schwertfeger published the file "Zur europäischen Politik 1897-1914" in 1919. Among other things, these contain material on Belgian economic interests in Africa, Asia and Latin America. The civil administration has handed down minutes of meetings, studies, memorandums and other documents on economics, transport and banking. Pre-archival order: The files of the Political Department of the Governor General in Belgium have been completely lost. Some files from the archive department of the Political Affairs Department have been transferred to the Federal Archives as part of the estate of their head, the then Colonel Bernhard Schwertfeger. Some remains of the civil administration have been preserved. In 1965, the Rehse Collection, which had been transferred from the Library of Congress in Washington to the Federal Archives, brought further remains of written documents into the military archives. In 1994, a few fragments of files from the former military archives of the GDR were added to the collection. Scope, explanation: 239 AE Citation method: BArch, PH 30-I/...
