1814-1930 (1945) The holdings 70 of the Mainz Municipal Archives comprise all preserved files of the Mainz Municipal Administration from the period 1814/16 to 1930/45, i.e. the period when Mainz belonged to the Grand Duchy or People's State of Hesse, therefore the holdings are also called "Hessian Archives". The "Hessian Archive" also includes the files of the occupation office during the French occupation of 1918-1930 (fonds 71) and the old registry of the Mainz City Library (fonds 72). The personnel files of the Hessian period were also separated and added to the personnel files of the city archive (here: accesses before 1962). The files of the stock 70 originate from the mayor's office of the city of Mainz and from individual municipal offices or companies. Also files of the former district office Mainz are in the inventory. This goes back to the initiative of the former government director Richard Falck, who in the 1920s was active as an assessor in the district office and worked to ensure that the files relating to Mainz were not handed over to the state archives in Darmstadt, but were transferred to the city archives. Apart from a few exceptions, the records of this collection end in 1930. The municipal files from the National Socialist era (1933-1945), which were in the main registry of the town hall, were burned during a bombing raid on Mainz in August 1942. The files were also destroyed at various other municipal offices in 1942-1945. The personnel files that survived the war were not affected. It is not possible to prove for all partial holdings when the files reached the city archives or who handed them in. In the access books from 1909 to 1945, a total of 90 entries of various sizes can be found, which according to their provenance and duration can be assigned to the "Hessian Archive" and which are also largely to be found in today's holdings. Some accesses are no longer to be found and have probably been cashed (e.g. files of the garden administration and the rental agreement office). A large part of the listed deliveries is accounted for by the finance and accounting departments of both the general administration and the city. Companies, but also the local citizen registers, the trade diaries, files on fruit prices and the fruit market, on the poor and welfare, on the electricity and waterworks, election records and various deliveries of school files are mentioned in the access books. A list of the proven accesses can be found in the electronic file of the city archives under Findmittel/Sonstiges. Also after 1945 still files were handed over, which were assigned to the existence 70, in the activity report of 1948-1950 9 Faszikel air-raid protection files (cf. 70/1028 ff.) are mentioned, 1951/52 4 volumes citizen registers of the 19th century are mentioned. Ordnungsarbeiten ab 1935 (nach den Tätigkeitsberichten des Stadtarchivs) The order of the files of the Hessian period was the responsibility of the administrative secretary Wilhelm Danz from April 1935, who was active in the archive from that time. In the year 1940 4533 file bundles were formed. In 1943 390 ordered bundles were added. The type of content of the order is not reported in the activity reports. During the Second World War, a total of 92 bundles of today's 70 files had been moved to the Heldburg in Thuringia. Until 1960, there was no evidence in Mainz for these outsourced files. The files reached the central archives of the GDR in Potsdam via a collection depot in Merseburg and were not returned to the city archives until December 1986. In the "Verzeichnis der von der DDR zurückkommenen Archivalien" these bundles are listed under the numbers 586-678. After their return, they were sorted into the "Hessische Archiv" (Hessian Archive), which had meanwhile been arranged according to the file plan, and before the files were renumbered they bore the signatures "DDR-Akten Nr. [Bündelnummer lt. o. g. Verzeichnis]". During the Second World War, the archive holdings remaining in the house had to be moved several times due to the air raids. On 27.02.1945, "a small, not important, archive of modern records" was destroyed. The two upper floors of the municipal library burnt out, causing the remaining files in the house to become very disordered and the staff had to clean them of debris and dust. The files of the stock 70 were also completely confused. City secretary Danz began anew with a reorganization, in 1948 the ordered stock comprised 291 running meters, in 1952 more than 400 running meters, in 1954: 600 running meters. In 1952 there is still talk of a "jumble of single leaf pieces which are read out of the rubble or come to light from the torn, fallen apart bundles". At that time the collection was divided into 13 sections, which were listed in the activity report for 1950/51-1951/52. In his annual report for the years 1952/53-1953/54, Wilhelm Diepenbach cites an example of the work of organizing single sheets: "In earlier decades, the local court also had to deal with matters of poor law. Consequently, documents relating to this matter were classified under the factual term "local court". Now all such documents are taken out and classified in the civil alphabet under surnames." In the 1950s, Wilhelm Danz had separated out a mountain of files from the Hessian period and planned them for cassation (among them were the files on the Jewish community!); the timely intervention of his archive colleagues prevented the destruction of these valuable archival records. In 1957/58, after the departure of Danz, the archivists noticed that the system according to which the bundles of files had previously been set up (the 13 departments mentioned above) no longer met the requirements, and they had to begin anew with reordering work. The holdings were roughly sorted according to alphabetical keywords, thus preparing the final reorganization. Whether this refers to the order according to the Hessian municipal file plan of 1908 cannot be inferred from the activity reports, but is probable. Wilhelm Danz's successor was the archivist Siemsen, followed by Mrs. Schmelig. As late as 1963, Ludwig Falck, who later became archive director, wrote in the commemorative volume "De Bibliotheca Moguntina": "The uniform order ... is still in progress and will take a long time, since this work has been made very difficult by all kinds of adverse fates." After the conclusion of the order work and the listing of the file bundles formed and inscribed by the archivists according to the registration plan for Hessian mayor's offices from the year 1908, the files could be found with the help of the file plan and by examination in the magazine whether files were available to a file plan department. There wasn't a list of files. The departments and sub-items of the file plan were considered signatures. A first list of files was drawn up in the 1980s by Doris Braun, a graduate archivist. It comprised 1406 numbers and the file plan departments I (head of state) to XII (church affairs) and thus about the first quarter of the entire stock. In 2003, Ursula Kwasniewski, an archivist, began to enter the existing list of files into the archive database "Faust". The unrecorded files were then numbered consecutively and these new file signatures, together with the file titles and file numbers on the file covers, were recorded in the database. The building files in the inventory deviate from this numerical order. They had already been entered some years earlier according to the sections "Bauakten vor 1900" and "Bauakten nach 1900" and within these groups alphabetically according to building owners. This registration corresponded and corresponds to the physical order of the building files which are at the end of the inventory. After entering the approximately 22,000 file titles, Ramona Göbel (later: Weisenberger), a graduate archivist, read the titles on the basis of the database Correction and created a classification, which is largely based on the preliminary order according to the registry plan of 1908.

Inventory description: In 1920 a counterespionage group with two departments for espionage and sabotage defense in the east and west was formed in the army statistics department of the troop office. In 1935 it was used as the starting point for the defence department of the Reichswehr and Reichskriegsministerium. In 1938 it was renamed into the Foreign Intelligence and Defense Office Group of the OKW, and in October 1939 it was finally renamed into the Foreign Department/Defense Office. The Office was divided into five departments: Central department (task: organization and administration) with groups: Z O- Officer's personal data Z K- Central file and ZKV-Zentral file of V-people Z B- Foreign policy reporting Z R- Legal affairs Z F- Finances, connection with the foreign exchange protection commands Z Reg and Z Arch- Registratur und Materialverwaltung sowie Archiv Abteilungung/Amtsgruppe Ausland (auslands- und Wehrpolitischer Nachrichtendienst); Evaluation of the press, literature and radio; connection to the German military attachés abroad and the foreign ones in Berlin as well as the German military missions; questions of warfare under international law; situation reports) with groups: Abroad I- Military policy information for Wehrmacht leadership Abroad II- Foreign policy issues, press reports Abroad III- International law issues Abroad IV- Supply of warships and blockade breakers Chief group adjutant, personnel, accommodation, defence vehicles I (procurement of military, armaments and war-related news in the foreign country; development of a reporting organisation and an agency network with control and contact points, letter boxes, radio and courier connections abroad), divided into groups: I Z- Central and Chief Office I H(eer)- Espionage against foreign armies with subgroups I H West and I H East - Explorations in the West and East I M(arine)- Espionage against foreign navies I L(uftwaffe)- Espionage against foreign air forces I T(echnik) L(uft)w(monkey)- Espionage against foreign air transport technology I Wi(rtschaft)- Espionage against foreign economy I G- Laboratories, u.a. false documents, secret inks, photo laboratory I i- radio, esp. transmission, agent radio network, traffic I T(echnik)- espionage against foreign technology I C(riegs)O(rganisations)-connection to the war organ. in the neutral countries) defence II (sabotage; active sabotage protection; training for and preparation of command enterprises) with groups: II A- Executive Office II West (further divided into North and South) II East (also divided into North and South) II Southeast II Overseas II Technology subject to factual subordination: Front reconnaissance commandos and troops as well as units and formations of the "Brandenburger" defence III (above all Defense protection in the Wehrmacht, but also in civilian areas; combating espionage and treason; infiltration of enemy intelligence services) with III A/Chefgruppe-Adjutantur III C- Military secrecy and defense protection; security of the civilian authorities with which the Wehrmacht is in contact; connection to the RSHA; OKW-Paßstelle III C 1- Behörden III C 2- remaining civilian sector, without economy III D- misleading the enemy, double agents (so-called Spielmaterial) III F- Counter-espionage against foreign intelligence services, especially abroad (KO) III F fu- Fahndungsfunk III G- Expert opinion on treason III K- Radio defence (at the beginning of the war passed to Wehrmacht command staff) III Kgf- defence in the prisoner of war camps III N- connection to the press; Protection of own radio, telephone and telegate network III U- Internal evaluation, results of counter-espionage; defence instruction III W- Wehrmacht command group with subgroups III H- Wehrmacht defence in the army, esp.

Then their members were integrated to a large extent into the security police. In addition, foreign letter and telegram inspection offices existed; they were affiliated to the locally responsible defensive offices. After individual areas of responsibility and parts of the office had already been assigned to the Reichsführer-SS with the Führer's order of 12.2.1944 (Amt MIL. of the RSHA), the defense departments were subordinated after the 20th century. In July 1944 the chief of the Security Police and the SD was finally assigned to the Wehrmacht leadership staff (OKW/WFSt/Ag.Ausl.), only the foreign department and the troop defense (including the defense officers deployed at the deputy general commandos, the military and Wehrmacht commanders in the still occupied territories) were assigned to the Wehrmacht leadership staff (OKW/WFSt/Ag.Ausl.)

Description of the existing army: It was gradually enlarged by the allocation of further departments and official groups, further expanded in terms of organisation and personnel at the outbreak of war, and finally placed under the command of the Chief of Armament and Commander of the Reserve Army. The Army Office (AHA) worked on supplementing and arming the army in personnel, material and financial terms. The supplementary personnel department managed it according to the instructions of the OKW for the entire Wehrmacht. During the war it distributed the personnel replacement of the army among the replacement units and provided the replacement for the field army. In addition, the AHA had to work on the training regulations for the individual weapons categories and for the reserve army.

The General Army Office (AHA) emerged from his authority at the beginning of February 1934. Characterisation of the contents: The written material (450 vols.) was created or filed in the following offices of the office headed by General Friedrich Olbricht under the Commander of the Reserve Army until 20 July 1944: Group I a a (40 AE): mobilization plans and orders (from 1936); files on the establishment, reorganization, and dissolution of agencies, command authorities, and units (Army Structure and Implementing Regulations 1935-1939, Demobilization Measures 1940); personnel and material equipment of the Army, as well as field Army Replacements (1939-1945); field reports with information on the organization, structure, deployment, and equipment of individual branches of the armed forces and the Armed Forces Commissions (13 vol., 1940-1941). Group I(b): Armament measures, demand calculations and allocation of raw materials, iron and steel (1936-1940, 6 vols.); weapons, ammunition, apparatus and equipment and production planning for the army (1935-1942, 9 vols.). Group I c: Reorganization, reclassification, dissolution of offices, associations and units (1944-1945, 8 vols.); family boards of various offices (1941-1944, 12 vols.) Group I d/II a (30 AE): general and concrete personnel (partly also organizational and accommodation) matters (e.g. staffing of the AHA, reduction of personnel 1944/1945); documents on discipline and order; award of war awards. Central Department (65 AE): Budget documents (Army budgets and long-term budget programs from 1930-1936); Reich Defence Council (1934-1936); information on the structure, financing, equipment and training of the Reich Army (including transfer of the Provincial Police to the Reich Army). Replacement and Armed Forces Group (150 AU): Replacement Section: Collection of decrees on the registration, patterning and acceptance of conscripts and volunteers (21 vol., 1935-1945) and special documents on the compulsory military service of foreign minorities and in Austria and other integrated territories; files on the organisation and activities of military service posts; organisation, training and material equipment of individual categories of weapons (1928-1938); dissolution of units after surrender in Stalingrad and Tunis. Army Department: Documents on the organisation and business distribution of central services of the Wehrmacht and the Army, on General Army Affairs, competence issues, on the structure and mobilization, on the condition and personnel situation of the troops; collection of service instructions and leaflets in mobilization matters (39 vol.,1938-1943); information on the service law, the period of service, salaries and pensions of soldiers and Wehrmacht officials, as well as some files on foreign policy matters, the annexation of Austria, the occupation and annexation of Sudeten German territory and the Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia. Pastoral group (ca. 15 vols., 1930-1945) Files on the organisation in the military districts, recruitment, use, equipment and remuneration of full-time and part-time site pastors; general guidelines and implementation of military pastoral care as well as the situation of the church and the relationship to the state and the NSDAP. Processing staffs (110 vol.): Documents on the processing of affairs of shattered command authorities (including the 6th Army in Stalingrad, the Central, Northern and Southern Ukraine Army Groups and the Commander-in-Chief West) as well as battle and experience reports of subordinate units, also experience reports of returnees, surveys of prisoners of war and missing persons, subsequent promotions and awards (with individual cases). The Wehrkreiskommando VII (RH 53-7) is also to be regarded as a replacement delivery. The documents of the AHA also document the activities of the two last chief of staff, Lieutenant Colonel i. G. Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg and Colonel i. G. Albrecht Ritter Mertz von Quirnheim, who were significantly involved in the assassination attempt on Hitler on July 20, 1944, and who were shot dead after the failure of the attack in the AHA's office in the Bendlerblock in Berlin. The activities of the Office are also documented by the extensive series of Army Regulations (H.Dv.), leaflets, peace and war strength and equipment records, the "Jahrbuch des deutschen Heeres" (1936-1942), the "Zeitschrift für die Heeresverwaltung" (1936-1944) and the "Heerestechnische Verordnungsblatt" (from 1943).

Content and Evaluation The Supreme (Land) Government was founded in 1806 as a collegial authority in the execution of the manifesto of King Frederick I's organization. It seems that the contemporary chancellory lists were uncertain about their correct spelling, at any rate the variants "Oberregierung" and - according to the predecessor authority in Ellwangen - "Oberlandesregierung" were represented almost equally frequently in the written material. The name is also misleading, because the authority was not a government in the current sense, but only a department of the Ministry of the Interior with responsibility for the so-called Regiminal Subject. According to the opinion of the time, this included in particular the safeguarding of the royal sovereignty rights, police matters throughout the country with the exception of the residential cities of Stuttgart and Ludwigsburg, the supervision of all state officials with the exception of the administration of justice, and the confirmation of elections to magistrate and other offices, Issues of subjects' and citizens' rights including emigration (deduction and after-tax), participation in military conscription, matters of prisons, breeding, labour and orphanages, poor institutions, trade, commerce and crafts as well as fire insurance. In 1807 the government college was divided into three subdepartments. In addition to the Department of Criminal Investigation, the Department of Police was established for security and police matters and the Department of Lending for feudal matters. On July 1, 1811, the responsibilities of the Department of Criminal Investigation and the Department of Police were reassigned to the Section of Internal Administration. In 1817 the newly founded district governments finally took over the tasks of this section. The present collection contains the special files of the category 'Princes' from the registry of the Supreme Government or the Section of Internal Administration, which is arranged alphabetically according to categories, although this title is rather misleading. In fact, the written records hardly concern relations with princely houses, and also the possessions of the often feared domestic and foreign class rulers located in Württemberg play at best a subordinate role in the holdings at hand. On the contrary, the contemporary registrars used the term 'princes' as a synonym for 'sovereigns', but they were not completely consistent, as the few files relating to cities or the monastery of St. Wolfgang in Engen show. In the main, the files deal with the interaction with the directly or indirectly neighbouring sovereign states, more than three quarters of the material concern relations with the Empire of France, the Grand Duchy of Baden and the Kingdom of Bavaria. In accordance with the turbulent times, war events, military, police (searches) and security matters play a prominent role, as do disputes over competing claims to sovereignty in the newly acquired former imperial territories and cities, trade blockades and customs harassment, as well as a colourful conglomeration of reciprocal attacks by authorities, officials and ordinary citizens on actual or alleged possessions of the respective neighbours and the retaliatory measures taken by them, but also efforts to achieve a contractual balance (borders, rights, disparities).) are represented. The files prove - particularly impressive in the case of the Landgraviate of Nellenburg, which was first allocated to Württemberg in 1806, the provisional Württemberg offices of Weiltingen and Nördlingen or the areas around Wiesensteig and Geislingen, Tettnang, Ravensburg and Ulm, which were also only briefly owned by Bavaria - the restlessness and often misunderstandings in the Paris treaties of 1810 until the settlement, The situation in the border regions was marked by provocations and acts of violence, the break-up of grown structures (such as parish priests), the abrupt interruption of road connections, the capping of rights, customs and habits by the new borders, and the liquidation of the structures created by the previous owners and the conditions left behind in the towns and regions that had finally become Württemberg after the State Treaty of 1810. D 44 is an almost flawless provenance collection, only in isolated cases do the files originate from predecessor or successor authorities (Bü 112: 'Retardatenkommission'; Bü 441 and 562: Oberlandesregierung Ellwangen; Bü 528: Fürststift Ellwangen). The local or regional assignment of each file follows the use of the registry of the upper government, which has assigned each operation to a particular ruling dynasty, but has not always done so correctly. Therefore, individual title recordings can reflect facts or events that cannot actually be expected from their territorial-dynastic classification, as for example in Bü 159, which contemporary registrars have assigned to the Grand Duchy of Hesse, but which contains mainly correspondence with the government in Karlsruhe due to the former Hanaulichberg places of reference in Baden since 1803. The - also already contemporary - assignment of the Büschel 379 to the Grand Duchy of Baden is not at all comprehensible from a factual point of view, since it is a matter of the request of the court chamber of Hesse and Darmstadt in Arnsberg for extradition of the documents relating to the Teutonic Order commander Mülheim from the archives of the Grand Master government in Mergentheim. Originally, the collection was divided into 59 bundles or federations, the contents of which were reproduced in the Marquart repertory (1912) only in keywords. In the course of the reworking these bundles were dissolved into a total of 673 individually recorded files with a total volume of 4.4 linear metres. The main running time ranges from 1806 to 1817, pre-files (mostly copies) go back to 1460, individual post-files have been added until 1834. Ludwigsburg, November 2010 Dr. Peter Steuer

History of the Inventory Designer: On 13 December 1918, the Navy Cabinet became the Personnel Office in the Reichsmarineamt. The personnel office was renamed the Marine Officers Personnel Department on 17 April 1919. On 1 October 1936, this was extended to the Naval Personnel Office (MPA), which was directly subordinated to the Commander-in-Chief of the Navy. The Naval Personnel Office was divided into two departments in 1936; the third was added in 1939: General and Maritime Officers' Affairs Department (MPA I) Naval Engineering Officers' Affairs Department (MPA II) Officers' Affairs Department d.B., z.V., a.D. and Special Leader Department (MPA VI) In addition, three departments were directly subordinate to the Head of the Office: Department for Naval Affairs (MPA III) Department for Naval Affairs (MPA IV) Department for Naval Affairs (MPA V) The Naval Personnel Office was dissolved on 14 July 1945. Processing note: An (incomplete) archive list of the holdings from earlier years is available. In addition, there is a finding aid book for the naval officers' card index by Mrs. Katharina Toth from 1990. The inventory, with the exception of the usage file, was indexed in 2012 by Mr. Frank Anton with database support. The official RMD 12 (Marine Personnel Office) holdings of printed matter were dissolved and its archives transferred to the holdings. Description of the holdings: The existing archives of the holdings were partly returned from London to the Military Historical Research Office (MGFA) during the period from 1959 to 1965. Other documents were issued in the 1960s and 1970s by individual citizens of the Federal Republic. The most recent parts of the collection were transferred from the Military Interim Archive in Potsdam in 1993. Content characterization: Numerous documents were destroyed at the end of the war in 1945. The collection comprises only a few files of the Reichsmarine from the years 1919 to 1935 and also not very many general documents from the time of the Kriegsmarine from 1935 to 1945. The largest part of the collection consists of officer records from the years 1940 to 1943. In addition, there is an extensive use index of the naval officers.
