History of the inventor: Joseph Goebbels, who had already been head of the NSDAP's Reich Propaganda Department since 1929, had certainly developed plans for a Ministry of Propaganda even before the seizure of power.(1) The Reichskabinett (Reich Cabinet) dealt with the issue of the Propaganda Department on 11 September. The arguments for the foundation, which the Reich Chancellor (Hitler) himself presented, sounded extremely harmless ex post and far from future realities: "One of the predominant tasks of this ministry would be the preparation of important acts of government. On the oil and fat issue, for example, which now occupies the cabinet, the people should be enlightened in the direction that the farmer would perish if something were not done to improve the sale of his products. The importance of this matter also for the war measures would have to be pointed out ..." Government action would only begin if the awareness-raising work had taken place and worked for some time. ..."(2) On 16 March 1933, however, Goebbels described the future tasks of his ministry programmatically three days after his appointment in a remarkably open manner in front of press representatives: "If this government is now determined never to give way again, never and under no circumstances, then it need not make use of the dead power of the bayonet, then in the long run it will not be able to be satisfied with knowing 52 percent behind it ..., but it will have to see its next task in winning the remaining 48 percent for itself. This is not only possible through objective work". And about the nature of his propaganda he proclaimed: "Not any aesthete can judge the methods of propaganda. A binding judgment can only be given on the basis of success. For propaganda is not an end in itself, but a means to an end.(3) A timid attempt by Hugenberg to at least delay the decision to establish the Ministry of Propaganda in the cabinet meeting of March 11, 1933 failed miserably. Already on 13 March 1933 the law on the establishment of the RMVP was signed by the Reich President and the "writer" Dr. Goebbels was appointed minister.(4) Almost three weeks later, on 5 April 1933, Goebbels noted in his diary: "The organisation of the ministry is finished".(5) In difficult negotiations(6) with the ministries, which had to cede parts of their competences to the new ministry, the responsibilities were determined in detail. The RMVP was responsible for all tasks relating to intellectual influence on the nation, advertising for the state, culture and economy, informing the domestic and foreign public about them, and the administration of all institutions serving these purposes. As a result, the business area of the RMVP will be: 1. from the business area of the Federal Foreign Office: News and education abroad, art, art exhibitions, film and sports abroad. 2. From the RMI division: General Domestic Enlightenment, Hochschule für Politik, introduction and celebration of national holidays and celebration of national holidays with the participation of the RMI, press (with Institute for Newspaper Science), radio, national anthem, German Library in Leipzig, art (but without art-historical institute in Florence, copyright protection for works of literature and art, directory of nationally valuable works of art, German-Austrian Convention on the Export of Art, Protection of Works of Art and Monuments, Protection and Maintenance of Landscape and Natural Monuments, Nature Parks, Preservation of Buildings of Special Historical Importance, Preservation of National Monuments, Verband Deutscher Vereine für Volkskunde, Reich Memorial), Music Conservation, including the Philharmonic Orchestra, Theatre Matters, Cinema, Combating Trash and Dirt 3. From the business areas of the Reich Ministry of Economics and the Reich Ministry of Food and Agriculture: Economic Advertising, Exhibitions, Trade Fairs and Advertising 4. From the business areas of the Reich Ministry of Posts and the Reich Ministry of Transportation: Traffic Advertising Furthermore, all radio matters dealt with by the Reich Ministry of Posts and the Reich Ministry of Transportation are transferred from the business area of the Reich Ministry of Posts, unless they concern the technical administration outside the premises of the Reich Broadcasting Company and the radio companies. In matters of technical administration, the RMVP shall be involved to the extent necessary to carry out its own tasks, in particular in determining the conditions for the awarding of broadcasting rights and the regulation of fees. In particular, the representation of the Reich in the Reichsrundfunkgesellschaft and the broadcasting companies is fully transferred to the RMVP. The RMVP is in charge of all tasks, including legislation, in the designated areas. The general principles shall apply to the participation of the other Reich Ministers." (RGBl. 1933 I, p. 449) These competences were exercised by seven departments, so that the business distribution plan of 1 Oct. 1933 (7) shows the following picture: Ministerial office (with five employees), directly subordinated to the Minister. State Secretary, at the same time Head of Press of the Reich Government I. Administration and Law with one main office Administration, three departments as well as the registry II. Propaganda with 10 departments 1. Positive world view propaganda, shaping in state life, press photography 2. Jewish question, foundation for victims of work, Versailles treaty, national literature, publishing etc. 3. Demonstrations and regional organisation 4. Opposing world views 5. German University of Politics 6. Youth and sports issues 7. Economic and social policy 8. Agricultural and eastern issues 9. Transport 10. Public health III. Broadcasting with three sections 1. Broadcasting 2. Political and cultural affairs of broadcasting 3. Organisation and administrative issues of German broadcasting IV. Press, simultaneously press department of the Reich government with eleven papers V. Film with three papers VI. Theatre, music and art with three papers VII. Defence (defence against lies at home and abroad) with eight papers Goebbels was obviously not satisfied with the official title of his ministry. The extensive tasks in the fields of culture and the arts did not come into their own and the word propaganda, of which he was aware, had a "bitter aftertaste" (8). His proposal to rename his department "Reichsministerium für Kultur und Volksaufklärung", however, met with Hitler's rejection. (9) In July 1933, a circular issued by the Reich Chancellor drew the attention of the Reich governors to the exclusive competence of the Reich or of the new Ministry for the above-mentioned competences and called on them to cede to the RMVP any existing budget funds and offices of the Länder. (10) At the same time, 13 regional offices were established as the substructure of the Ministry, the sprinkles of which corresponded approximately to those of the regional employment offices, and 18 imperial propaganda offices, which subdivided the territory of the regional offices once again. After the Reichspropagandastellen were already converted after short time (approx. 1934) to Landesstellen, in each Gau of the NSDAP a Landesstelle of the RMVP was located. Their leaders were in personal union at the same time leaders of the Gaupropagandaleitungen of the NSDAP, which in its leadership, the Reichspropagandalleitung, was also perceived by Goebbels in personal union. (11) As a result, conflicts of loyalty between the Gaupropaganda leaders/leaders of the RMVP regional offices were unavoidable in disputes between Goebbels and individual Gauleiters. According to theory, the regional offices were supposed to monitor and implement the political decisions made in the ministry in the individual districts, but in practice their heads were often more dependent on their respective Gauleiter than on the ministry due to the above-mentioned personal union. By the Führer decree of 9 September 1937 (RGBl. 1937 I, p. 1009), the Landesstellen were renamed Reichspropagandaämter and elevated to Reich authorities. After the integration of Austria there were no less than 42 Reichspropagandaämter with 1400 full-time employees. (12) In addition to the state offices and Reich Propaganda Offices, a whole range of offices, organizations, associations, societies and societies soon developed, which are to be counted to the subordinate area of the Ministry. (13) Despite the apparently clear regulation on the responsibilities of the RMVP, the 13 years of its existence were marked by disputes over responsibilities with other ministries, in particular with the ministers Rust, Rosenberg and Ribbentrop, of whom Goebbels, as is known, held very little personally. Successes and failures in the competence disputes cannot be followed in detail here; they depended to a large extent on Hitler's relationship with Goebbels. For example, Goebbels did not succeed in extending his competence in theatre to the Prussian State Theatres in Berlin. By contrast, in 1943 the RMVP assumed responsibility for carrying out the Eastern propaganda, while Rosenberg, as Reich Minister for the occupied Eastern territories, was left with only the authority to issue guidelines. (14) In the conflict with the Federal Foreign Office over the delimitation of responsibilities for foreign propaganda, an arrangement was reached in a working agreement in October 1941. (15) Wehrmacht propaganda also remained long and controversial. Despite many efforts (16), Goebbels did not succeed in making a decisive break in the competencies of the OKW/Wpr department until the end of the war in March 1945. Propaganda into the Wehrmacht and about the Wehrmacht at home and abroad was then to be taken in charge by the RMVP. It is not possible to determine whether the planned organizational consequences have yet been implemented. (17) Another major success for Goebbels was the establishment of the Reichsinspektion für zivile Luftschutzmaßnahmen (Reich Inspection for Civilian Air Defence Measures), which was headed by the RMVP (18), and his appointment as Reich Plenipotentiary for Total War Operations by Führer Decree of 25 July 1944 (19). For the last months of the Third Reich, Goebbels had reached the zenith of power with this function, apart from his appointment as Reich Chancellor in Hitler's last will and testament of April 29, 1945, which had become effective only theoretically. As Reich Plenipotentiary for the total deployment in war, he had extremely far-reaching powers over the entire state apparatus with the exception of the Wehrmacht. (20) Until that date, the competences of the RMVP had changed only slightly in the main features of all disputes over jurisdiction. That it nevertheless grew enormously and steadily until 1943 (21) was mainly due to diversification and intensification in the performance of its tasks. After 1938, the expansive foreign policy of the Third Reich necessitated further propaganda agencies to direct and influence public opinion in the incorporated and occupied territories. In the occupied territories with civil administrations, "departments" (main departments) for "popular enlightenment and propaganda" were usually set up in the territories with military administration, "propaganda departments", which exercised roughly the functions of the Reich Propaganda Offices. Their position between their superior military services and the RMVP, which sought to influence the content of the propaganda and from where part of the personnel came, was a constant source of conflict. As an indication for the weighting of the individual areas of responsibility of the Ministry in relation to each other, the expenditures for the individual areas in the 10 years from March 1933 to March 1943 are mentioned. With a total volume of 881,541,376.78 RM (22), the expenses for the Active propaganda: 21.8 Communications: 17.8 Music, visual arts, literature: 6.2 Film: 11.5 Theatres: 26.4 Civil servants and equipment: 4.3 Salaries, business needs, including film testing agencies and RPÄ: 12.0 By 1942, the RMVP and its division had been continuously expanded, before facilities in the subordinate area were shut down and departments in the ministry were merged as part of the total war from 1943 onwards. The business distribution plan of Nov. 1942 was as follows: (23) Ministerial Office, reporting directly to the Minister with adjutants, personal advisers and press officers of the Minister, a total of 10 employees State Secretaries Leopold Gutterer, Reich Press Head Dr. Otto Dietrich, Hermann Esser Budget Department (H) with 11 departments; reporting to the Head of the Department, the Main Office and the House Administration Personnel Department (Pers) with seven departments Legal and Organisation Department (R) with three departments Propaganda Department (Pro) with the following ten departments: 1. Political Propaganda 2. Cultural Propaganda 3. Propaganda Exploration 4. Public Health, Social Policy 5. Economy 6. Imperial Propaganda Offices 7. Major Events 8. Youth and Sports 9. Representation 10. Budget of the Department, Preparation of the Peace Treaties, Stagma and other Press Department of the Imperial Government I. Department German Press (DP) with 13 Speeches II. Foreign Press Department (AP) with 19 papers III. Journal Press Department /ZP) with five papers Foreign Press Department (A) with the following five groups: 1. Organization 2. Europe and Middle East 3. Non-European 4. Propaganda Media 5. Deployment abroad and in the Reich Tourism Department (FV) with four units Broadcasting Department (Rfk) with the following eight units 1. Coordination, Interradio and others 2. Broadcasting Command Office 3. Mob Department 4. Broadcasting Programme Support 5. Foreign Broadcasting 6. Broadcasting Industry 7. Broadcasting Organisation 8. Rundfunk-Erkundungsdienst Filmabteilung (F) with five departments Schrifttumsabteilung (S ) with eight departments Theaterabteilung (T) with seven departments Bildende Kunst (BK) with four departments Musik-Abteilung (M) with ten departments Reichsverteidigung (RV) with six departments Abteilung für die besetztischen Ostgebiete (Ost) with twelve departments Generalreferate with State Secretary Gutterer directly subordinated: 1. Exhibitions and Fairs 2nd General Cultural Department (General Cultural Department for the Reich Capital) 3rd General Department for Reich Chamber of Culture Matters 4th Technology (propaganda, radio, film, sound, stage, press, service installations of the RMVP) Press Recording Office for the PK reports of the Press Department of the Reich Government (directly subordinated to the Reich Press Head) A major change in this distribution of responsibilities took place in September 1944 (24). The art departments of theatre, music and visual arts were dissolved and merged into a single department of culture (cult). The East Department was integrated into the Propaganda Department as a main department, the Tourism Department was shut down and the General Departments of the Reich Cultural Chamber, Armaments and Construction and Propaganda Troops were dissolved.

Inventory description: Inventory history The RMVP records have suffered substantial losses, although the main building of the Ministry, the Ordenspalais am Wilhelmplatz, was destroyed relatively late and almost accidentally in March 1945. Large parts of the old registries, including the previous files from the Federal Foreign Office and the Reich Ministry of the Interior (1), had already been destroyed by air raids in 1944. Moreover, in the last days of the war before and during the conquest of Berlin by the Soviet Russian army, files were also systematically destroyed. (2) In view of the total collapse and devastation of Berlin by the air war, it is not surprising that hardly any manual or private files of RMVP employees have been handed down. Notable exceptions are, in particular, documents from Ministerialrat Bade (press department) (3) and hand files of the head of the broadcasting department, Ministerialdirigent Fritzsche. In this context, the diaries of Goebbels should also be mentioned, which, with the exception of those edited by Lochner in 1948, had been lost for almost 30 years. (4) The bulk of the volumes available in the Bundesarchiv Koblenz until 1996 was transferred from Alexandria (cf. Guide No. 22) and from the Berlin Document Center to the Bundesarchiv in the years 1959 - 1963. The personnel files still held back were added to the portfolio in 2007. The RMVP files kept by the Ministry of State Security of the GDR (mainly personnel files, personnel processes of the theatre, music and defence departments), which were stored in the so-called NS archive until 2006, are also assigned to the holdings. Not in Allied hands was only a small collection from the Music Department and some documents from the German Press Department, which were transferred to the Federal Archives in 1969 as part of the land consolidation with the Secret State Archives of the Prussian Cultural Heritage Foundation. Some original RMVP files can still be found at the Hoover Institution Standford, the Yivo Institute New York and the Wiener Library London. Fortunately, all three institutions were willing to produce microfilms for the Federal Archives (5). In 1974, the Rijksinstitut voor Oologsdocumentatie Amsterdam (Rijksinstitut for Oologsdocumentatie Amsterdam) kindly handed over some original fragments of files to the Federal Archives. In 1946, officers of the French and Soviet secret services found films of about 35,000 documents that had been filmed in the RMVP and buried near Potsdam at the end of the war with the help of an American mine detector (6). The films were taken to Paris to make re-enlargements of them, and it is possible that they will still be kept in the French secret service. The Americans apparently did not receive copies because they had withheld from the French documents of other provenance found in the CSSR. Only incomplete information is available about the content of the films; it can be assumed, however, that not exactly unimportant files have been filmed. Notes (1) Only a few handfiles and a few volumes on the promotion of music have survived. (2) Files of the Reichsfilmarchiv that had been moved to Grasleben/Helmstedt were even to be destroyed by agents of the RSHA when they threatened to fall into the hands of the English (cf. R 55/618). (3) Cf. Kl. Erw. 615, which is a selection of the bath papers from the time around 1933 in the Hoover library. (4) Frankfurter Allgemeine, 21 Nov. 1974, reader's letter. Insignificant fragments from Goebbels' estate from his student days can be found in the Federal Archives under the signature Kl. Erw. 254. (5) A collection of newspaper clippings concerning Goebbels in the amount of 82 Bde for the years 1931 - 1943 was not filmed at the Yivo-Institut. (6) See the documents in: National Archives Washington, RG 260 OMGUS 35/35 folder 19. Archival processing The order and indexing work on the holdings was relatively time-consuming and difficult, as the order of the files was extremely poor. On the one hand there were no detailed file plans or other registry aids for the mass of files from the budget and personnel departments, on the other hand the file management in the ministry, which at least in its development phase was always deliberately unbureaucratic, left a lot to be desired. Especially during the war, when inexperienced auxiliaries had to be used more and more during the war, the Ministry's staff often complained about the inadequacy of the registries. The organisation of the RMVP's records management showed typical features of office reform (1): Registries were kept on a departmental basis, with each registry having a "self-contained partial list of files". The documents were stored in standing folders (System Herdegen). Instead of a diary, an alphabetical mailing card was kept, separated according to authorities and private persons. The reference numbers consisted of the department letter, file number, date as well as an indication, on which card of an order file the procedure was seized. All in all, the files of the Budget and Human Resources Department were in a certain, albeit unsatisfactory, state of order when they entered the Federal Archives. Numerous volumes from the other departments, on the other hand, were formed in a chaotic manner, possibly as a result of a provisional recording of loose written material when it was confiscated. These were often amorphous and fragmentary materials that lacked the characteristics of organically grown writing. So it was practically impossible to form meaningful band units in all subjects. In the case of some "mixed volumes" with written material on numerous file numbers, only the most frequent ones were noted in the finding aid book. Due to the high loss of files, no strict evaluation standard was applied to the files. The main items collected were volumes from the budget department on preliminary checks in the subordinate area and individual procedures for the procurement and management of managed goods for the purposes of the Ministry. Formal records of non-compliant positions in the business division and a number of unarchivalable documents from the Human Resources Department will still be kept for the foreseeable future for the purpose of issuing service time statements. It is not listed in this guide. Preparatory work for the indexing of the Koblenz part of the stock was carried out by Mr. Oberarchivrat Regel (1967) with regard to the files of the budget department on the Reich's own film assets, Mr. Ltd. Archivdirektor Dr. Boberach (1966) with regard to correspondence and the reference files of the head of the broadcasting department, Hans Fritzsche and Ms. Archivoberinspektorin Schneider, née Fisch (1966) for files of the propaganda department. In 2005, the inventories of the finding aids of both sections of the Reich Ministry for Popular Enlightenment and Propaganda were imported into the database of the Federal Archives via a retroconversion procedure. The data records were then combined in a classification. Despite the inhomogeneity of the traditions of most specialist departments, it was advisable to maintain the division by departments. (2) Within the departments, the structure was essentially based on file numbers and factual contexts. The file numbers used in the RMVP were - as far as possible - used as aids for further subdivision. The final step was the integration of the personnel files and personal documents from the NS archive (approx. 5000 individual transactions) and the former Berlin Document Center (approx. 700 transactions). The documents taken over are mainly documents from the personnel department (in addition to personnel files also questionnaires and index cards), theatre (applications, appointments, confirmation procedures) and imperial defence (applications in propaganda companies). The personal records also contain isolated documents on denazification from the period 1946-1950. Since a relatively large number of individual transactions from the NS archives were often only a few sheets, transactions that objectively related to one transaction (e.g. applications for interpreting) were merged into one file. The names of the individual persons as well as the old signatures from the NS archive can still be traced via the BASYS-P database. Both the files from the NS archive and those from the former BDC are not always filed according to the provenance principle. However, the files were not separated again. Most of the files taken over from the former BDC are personal files and questionnaires as well as personnel index cards of individual employees of broadcasting stations. A search is still possible via the BASYS-P database. The procedures for the donation "Artist's thanks" still present in the personal records of the former BDC concerning the Theatre Department were not adopted in this context (approx. 15,000 procedures). The names are entered in the BASYS-P database and can be searched there. Notes (1) Rules of Procedure and Registration of 8 May 1942 in R 55/ 618.

From the point of view of financing and personnel management, they illuminate almost all areas of the Ministry's activities. From the specialist departments, the volumes from the Propaganda Department should be emphasized, which document above all the design of propaganda and the propagandistic support of foreign workers and resettled persons in the last years of the war. Also worth mentioning are mood and activity reports of individual RPÄ and suggestions from the population for propaganda and for leading the total war. In the Radio Department there is some material about the design of the radio program and the propaganda reconnaissance with reports about the opposing propaganda, which were compiled from the bugging reports of the special service Seehaus. A separate complex of this department are 14 volumes of pre-files from the RMI with handfiles of the Oberregierungsrat Scholz as representative of the Reich in supervisory committees of broadcasting companies in Berlin from 1926 - 1932. Of the film department there are only a few, but interesting volumes about the film production of the last war years with numerous ministerial documents. The majority of the theatre department's traditions are based on documents on professional issues and the Reich's dramaturgy. From the music department the promotion of musical organizations from the years 1933 - 1935 with pre-files from the RMI, the support and job placement of artists as well as material about the musical foreign relations is handed down. The files of the Department for the Occupied Eastern Territories offer rich sources for questions of Eastern propaganda. The losses are greatest in the departments Law and Organization, Magazine Press, Foreign Press, Foreign Countries, Tourism, Literature and Fine Arts.

Since then, it has taken material taken from the archives, estates and collections of the GStA PK as well as objects of foreign provenances for conservation and storage reasons. In addition, exhibits from previous exhibitions of GStA PK and GStA PK can be seen here. The collection is supplemented by large-format reproductions of archival documents and collection items (facsimiles, colour prints, photographs, etc.), which were also created in connection with exhibitions or the publication of publications and the like. In 2006, the collection was revised, entered into the archive database, tidied up and partially redrawn. While the pieces from the holdings, estates and collections of the GStA PK were sorted by provenance, the realities of foreign origin have been combined into subject groups. The exhibits are assigned to the respective exhibitions. The coins and medals previously held in custody at the Realien were handed over to the VIII.

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.)

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.

History of the possession of the island Mainau: After the abolition of the Kommende of the Teutonic Order on the island Mainau in 1805, the Kommenden possession first fell to the Baden state; today the Kommenden archive in the General State Archives consists mainly of the holdings 5 (documents Mainau) and 93 (files Mainau). After a rapid change of ownership - 1827 from Baden to Prince Nikolaus von Esterhazy, 1827 from his son Nikolaus Freiherr von Mainau to Katharina Gräfin Langenstein - Grand Duke Friedrich I of Baden bought the island from Langenstein¿schem in 1853 with funds from the private box and made the Teutonic Order palace a secondary residence. With advancing age, the stays of the Grand Duke and his wife Luise became increasingly frequent; the park owes its design largely to Frederick's initiative. In 1907 the Grand Duke of Mainau died. After her death in 1923, the widow's residence of the Grand Duchess was transferred to her son Frederick II, and from him to his sister Victoria, Queen of Sweden. In 1930, their grandson Lennart, now Count Bernadotte, took possession of the Mainau. History and notes on tradition: The Schlossarchiv, which was handed over to the General State Archives in 1997 as a deposit of Blumeninsel Mainau GmbH, depicts the history of possession and the court holdings of the Grand Ducal couple rather fragmentarily. Only the planned stock has survived as a closed overdelivery complex. After the death of Frederick I, Grand Duchess Luise decided that neither the castle nor the park could be altered in any way, so the plans provide a good overview of the conversion of the old Kommende buildings and the layout of the park from the Grand Ducal period to the Bernadotte era. Almost all the plans came from the architects of the Grand Ducal Court Building Office (Dyckerhoff, Hemberger, Amersbach), a few from the Court Garden Centre, from commissioned companies and from the Constance District Building Inspectorate. Outside the island, only the St. Katharina estate near Litzelstetten and a park bench near Constance are documented. The plans were recorded in detail by Ms. Kreyenberg before they were handed over to the General State Archives; her index continues to serve as a finding aid for the plan inventory, while the file part of the archive consists only of fragments. There are internal and external reasons for this. The changing courtly style between Karlsruhe, Baden-Baden, Badenweiler and Mainau may have brought with it a transport of written documents, which in all residences allowed half site-related, half accidentally left behind layers of files to emerge. In many respects, the Mainau holdings correspond almost perfectly to the files that have been kept in the General State Archives since 1995 from the tradition in the New Palace in Baden-Baden: Here and there the boundaries between the files of the court authorities, the daily ceremony and the personal, princely estate can hardly be drawn exactly, here and there correspondence and telegram series, diaries and notebooks, private entries and greeting addresses, documents of the wide-ranging charity work of Grand Duchess Luise and much more can be found. (cf. GLA 69 Baden, Collection 1995 A, B, D, F I, FII, G , K). In a nutshell, the Mainau collection - insofar as it does not directly refer to the Mainau court - microscopically depicts the Baden-Baden manor; both collections relate primarily to Grand Duchess Luise, and only in the second to her husband and children. As in Baden-Baden, the Mainau collection also includes a large group of photographs documenting, among other things, the close ties to relatives of the imperial family. Unlike in Baden-Baden, however, the fragmentary character of the Mainau archive also seems to be due to unintentional interventions. In the summer of 1945, the castle served as a military hospital for former concentration camp prisoners; during this time, they are said to have burned the archives, the bookkeeping and the more recent documentation of the island and to have taken documents with them when they were released in September (Alexander and Johanna Dées de Sterio, Die Mainau, Stuttgart / Zürich 1977 p.93). It will no longer be possible to reconstruct exactly what kind of archive this was; in any case, it must have been the written records of the goods administration which were taken over by the successors of the Teutonic Order and continued through the 19th century. Only fractions of files from this area have actually survived in today's inventory. Editor's report: Because of the difficult history of tradition, the order of the remaining holdings was not easy either. A separation according to personnel and court office conveniences would have made little sense and would also have been hardly possible in view of fragments that could hardly be allocated. Thus special occasions (such as birthdays and anniversaries) and special source genres (such as notebooks or telegrams) now form the highest order criteria, then the reference to persons or events and finally, within a unit of records, the chronological order; however, most of these units of records had to be formed first, since at the time the inventory was taken over any order of parts was not recognizable; as a rule they were loose, connected sheets.In August and September 1998, in the context of the training for the Higher Archive Service, the holdings were arranged by Claudia Maria Neesen and Christof Strauß under the guidance of the undersigned and recorded and indexed with the help of the MIDOSA programme package of the Landesarchivdirektion Baden-Württemberg. Karlsruhe, June 1999Konrad Krimm Conversion: The finding aid was converted in 2015. The final editing was carried out by Sara Diedrich in April 2016. The plans and building drawings were added under the inventory designation 69 Baden, Mainau K to the inventory 69 Baden, Mainau and listed under the signatures 69 Baden, Mainau K 1 to 69 Baden, Mainau K 209.

Foreword: * 1903 † 14 February 1986 Wolfgang Ferdermann was employed from 1926 to 1946 as a graduate engineer in Department F 3 of the Telefunken Gesellschaft für drahtlose Telegraphie m.b.H. under the direction of Prof. Fritz Schröter. This department dealt with visual telegraphy and the development of television. Federmann himself worked as a television technician and cameraman for Telefunken. He was involved in the design of the FE series of television receivers, at least the FE I, a cabinet-shaped device first presented to the public at the Radio Exhibition in 1932. He was awarded a gold medal for television at the 1937 World Exhibition in Paris. In 1940 the Telefunken group "Studiotechnik" was dissolved. Only a small part of the group continued to construct television sets for military use, the largest part (probably Federmann) was assigned radio measurement technology (night hunter displays, radar and panoramic observation equipment) as a new area of responsibility. Further biographical information on the professional career can be found in document I. NL 095/162 can be taken. The main duration of the estate of Wolfgang Federmann is 1926-1956, with a focus on the late 1920s (picture telegraphy) and mid-1930s (1936 Olympic Games in Berlin, 1937 World Exhibition in Paris, radio exhibitions, opening of the programme service by the Reichs-Rundfunkanstalt). Thematically, technically oriented documents predominate, the estate contains little personal information. The main focus is on the development of television, the development of tubes and picture telegraphy. Most frequently, photos (and glass slide positives, as these often show identical motifs) and printed journal articles appear in Nachlaß Federmann. The estate was donated to the archive in 1994. It has a scope of 639 units of distortion with a duration of 1917-1994.

The Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg (ERR) is one of the largest "robbery organisations" of the "Third Reich". Equipped with the authority to "secure" material in the occupied territories for the fight against the "ideological opponents" of National Socialism, he brought countless books, documents and other cultural assets from the possession of libraries, institutes, archives, private individuals, etc. into his hands in the occupied western and eastern territories; in addition, he was actively involved in art theft. The evaluation of the cultural property to be captured and secured by the ERR was to be carried out by the "Hohe Schule" or the "Institut zur Erforschung der Judenfrage" in Frankfurt, at least as far as research on the "Jewish question" could be useful, to which even "materials" of an incommensurable scope were then directed. The haste with which the "seizures" had to be made within a few years or months in areas often far from the borders of the German Reich, made final decisions about the whereabouts of the captured property, especially in the territory of the Soviet Union, at most theoretically visible; in its mass it remained in the territories cleared by German troops. In addition to the Institute for the Study of the Jewish Question, the East Library and the Central Library of Rosenberg in Berlin were the main places of reception, apparently for material on the "Study of Bolshevism". There were also numerous other recipients, such as the Wehrmacht (for entertainment literature, but also for "military files and archive material" from the occupied Eastern territories, which had to be handed over to the Danzig branch of the Army Archives). The following decrees are the basis for the establishment and mission of the task force: Führererlass of 29.1.1940 concerning the establishment of the "Hohe Schule": The Hohe Schule is to become the central site of National Socialist research, teaching and education. Their construction will take place after the war. However, in order to promote the preparations that have begun, I order Reichsleiter Alfred Rosenberg to continue this preparatory work - especially in the field of research and the establishment of the library. The services of the Party and the State shall give him every assistance in this work. Decree of the chief of the OKW of 4.7.1940 to the commander-in-chief of the army and the commander-in-chief of the Wehrmacht in the Netherlands: Reichsleiter Rosenberg has applied to the Führer: 1. to search the state libraries and archives for writings of value to Germany, 2. to search the chancelleries of the high church authorities and lodges for political actions directed against us, and to confiscate the material in question. The Führer has ordered that this proposal be complied with and that the Secret State Police - supported by archivists of the Reichsleiter Rosenberg - be entrusted with the investigation. The head of the security police, SS-Gruppenführer Heydrich, has been notified; he will contact the responsible military commanders for the purpose of executing the order. This measure will be implemented in all the territories we occupy in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and France. It is requested to inform the subordinate services. Order of the chief of the OKW of 17.9.1940: To the commander-in-chief of the army for the military administration in occupied France In addition to the s.Zt. The Führer has decided, on the basis of the instructions given by the Führer to Reichsleiter Rosenberg to search lodges, libraries and archives in the occupied territories of the West for material of value to Germany and to secure it through the Gestapo: "The conditions before the war in France and before the declaration of war on 1.9.1939 are decisive for the possessions. After this deadline, transfers of ownership to the French Reichsleiter Rosenberg have been completed. State or the like are void and legally ineffective (e.g. Polish and Slovak library in Paris, holdings of the Palais Rothschild and other abandoned Jewish property). Reservations regarding search, seizure and removal to Germany on the basis of such objections shall not be accepted. Reichsleiter Rosenberg or his representative Reichshauptstellenleiter Ebert has clear instructions from the Führer personally regarding the right of access. He is authorised to transport the cultural goods that appear valuable to him to Germany and to secure them here. The Führer has reserved the right to decide on their use. It is requested that the relevant military commanders or services be instructed accordingly. Führer decree of 1.3.1942: Jews, Freemasons and the ideological opponents of National Socialism allied with them are the authors of the present war directed against the Reich. The systematic spiritual combat of these powers is a task necessary for war. I have therefore commissioned Reichsleiter Rosenberg to carry out this task in agreement with the head of the OKW. Its task force for the occupied territories has the right to investigate libraries, archives, lodges and other ideological and cultural institutions of all kinds for corresponding material and to seize it for the ideological tasks of the NSDAP and the later scientific research projects of the high school. The same regulation applies to cultural objects which are in the possession or property of Jews, of stray origin or of origin which cannot be clarified unobjectionably. The implementing regulations for cooperation with the Wehrmacht are issued by the head of the OKW in agreement with Reichsleiter Rosenberg. The necessary measures within the Eastern territories under German administration are taken by Reichsleiter Rosenberg in his capacity as Reich Minister for the Occupied Eastern Territories. For a short time the full name of the office was "Einsatzstab der Dienststellen des Reichsleiters Rosenberg für die besetzten westlichen Gebiete und die Niederlande", then "Einsatzstab Reichsleiter Rosenberg für die besetzten Gebiete". The addition "for the occupied territories" was omitted according to the order of the Joint Staff Committee of 17.11.1944. The headquarters of the Joint Staff Committee was initially Paris. The expansion of the tasks made it necessary to relocate her to Berlin, where she temporarily stayed in the office building at Margarethenstrasse 17. The later office in Berlin, Bismarckstraße 1, was destroyed by an air raid. Organisation and structure: The structure of the ERR consisted in its main features of staff management, main working groups and working groups (set up regionally), occasionally also special detachments, branch offices, etc. The ERR was structured in such a way that it was able to provide a clear overview of the various departments. In addition, there were special staffs which were mainly charged with the "recording of cultural assets", which took place in constant collision with the equal interests of other authorities, such as the Reich Minister for Popular Enlightenment and Propaganda (in France with regard to the recording of musical works, musical manuscripts and instruments by the Special Staff for Music) and the Reichsführer-SS (for example with regard to the recording of prehistory and early history). The organisation and distribution of responsibilities of the staff management were adapted to the respective tasks of the ERR institution, which were constantly expanding until 1943 and have been changing ever since. The constant change of tasks, organisation and personnel conditions became a principle for the large number of the departments themselves active in the "worked" areas, which were also completely dependent on the politico-military and administrative conditions in these areas, caused by the respective military, civil or national administrations, and not least by the perpetual conflicts of competence of the party and imperial authorities touching or fighting each other in their areas of interest and ambitions. The development of the ERR began in France with the institution "Einsatzstab Westen" under the leadership of Kurt von Behr. Soon the "Westen" task force was divided into three independent main working groups: France (Paris), Belgium and Northern France (Brussels), Netherlands (Amsterdam). At the same time, V. Behr was the head of the Western Office, which was responsible for securing furnishings for the occupied eastern territories, the so-called M Action. This office was in itself "detached" to the East Ministry; according to Rosenberg's order of 24.11.1944, it was "taken back" to the task force. In the first half of 1944, both the M campaign and the "art collection campaign" were extended to southern France. Probably related to this is the establishment of the South of France Working Group, which finally set up a branch office in Nice and an external command in Marseilles. From the very beginning of its activity in France, the ERR had not confined itself to securing only material from libraries, archives, etc. for the "ideological struggle". He also began to collect and secure art treasures and thus entered into a certain competition with the actions carried out on behalf of Hitler ("Linz" Führer order) and Göring as well as with the art protection carried out by the military commander. Institutionally, he created a special task force "Fine Arts" (SBK) for this task, to which the collection points for fine arts in the Louvre and Jeu de Paume belonged. The Special Staff was only responsible for securing and inventorying the objects of art; the right of disposal over the objects of art - including those seized by the Office of the West in the course of the M Action and handed over to the Special Staff - had been reserved to the "Führer", a demand that was later extended to all works of art "that were or will be confiscated by German authorities in the territories occupied by German troops". The SBK maintained its activity in France to a certain extent until its dissolution. The struggle for responsibility for seized works of art continued until the end of the war, up to and including issues of relocation to Germany (Führer construction and salvage sites such as Neuschwanstein and Herrenchiemsee, etc.) and ultimately works of art to be seized in Austrian mines (Alt-Aussee). The activities of the Italian working group are described in the report of its leader of 28.8.1944 as follows: "The procurement of material on the activities of ideological opponents will continue to be at the forefront of our work in Italy. In the form of translations, reports and evaluation work, this material is prepared by AG Italy and forwarded to the management. At the beginning of 1941, the ERR extended its activities to the Balkans and further to Greece. A Sonderkommando Greece was formed, which was dissolved in 1941. A Sonderkommando Saloniki is still provable until 1942. ERR services were also established in 1941 in Serbia - Special Staff of the Commanding General and Commander of Serbia, an Agram Liaison Office and a Belgrade Liaison Office for the Yugoslav Territories. Efforts to gain a foothold in Hungary failed apparently because of the resistance or influence of the envoy Dr. Veesenmayer. Later, a main working group for the southeast (Belgrade) can be proved, which was formed with effect from 15 February 1944 from the working group for the southeast, which in turn could have originated from the command "Southeast", proven for 1942, which was transferred from Belgrade to Thessaloniki on 10 July 1942. In Denmark, the ERR established a service in Copenhagen. Any approach to "profitable" activity was soon nullified by Dr. Best, representative of the German Reich in Denmark: "Confiscation in the style of the other occupied territories would never come into question". Immediately after his appointment as Reich Minister for the Occupied Eastern Territories (RMbO), Rosenberg began to direct the initiative of his task force to the eastern territories as well. On April 2, 1941, Rosenberg had already conceived a Führer's order to instruct him "to carry out the same tasks as in the occupied western territories in all the countries occupied or still occupied by the German Wehrmacht within the framework of this war". Until the Führer's order of 1 March 1942 was issued, Rosenberg referred to "the orders issued by the Führer for the West and the tasks carried out in the Western territories by the departments of Art, Archive and Library Protection within the framework of military administration". Rosenberg's guidelines on the protection of cultural assets for "research into the activities of opponents of National Socialism and for National Socialist research" were issued to the Reichskommissariate Ostland and Ukraine on 20.8.1941 and 3.10.1941 respectively. By decree of 27.4.In 1942 Rosenberg finally commissioned the RKO and RKU as the RMbO to once again expressly "commission the ERR for the occupied Eastern territories with the recording and uniform processing of cultural assets, research material and scientific institutions from libraries, museums, etc.", which are found in public, ecclesiastical or private spaces". With the same decree, a central office was founded for the collection and recovery of cultural assets in the occupied Eastern territories. A special department for the collection and recovery of cultural assets was set up at the Reichskommissariaten (Imperial Commissionariats), whose leadership was entrusted to the head of the responsible main working group. For the two Reichskommissariate the main working group Ostland (Riga) with the working groups existed at first: Estonia (Reval), Lithuania (Vilnius), Latvia (Riga), White Ruthenia (Minsk) and the main working group Ukraine (Kiev, later Bialystok). With effect from 1.5.1943 the AG Weißruthenien was elevated to the main working group Mitte. In all HAG areas, in addition to the working groups, mobile staffs, known as "Sonderkommandos" or "Außenstellen", whose activities extended as far as the Crimea and the Caucasus region, worked directly under their command or under the command of the staff. The special staffs included, among others "Sonderstab Bildende Kunst", "Sonderstab Vorgeschichte", "Sonderstab Archive", "Sonderstab Sippenkunde", "Sonderstab Wissenschaft", "Sonderstab Volkskunde", "Sonderstab Presse" (founded 1944), "Sonderstab Dr. Abb", "Sonderstab Musik", "Sonderstab Zentralbibliothek" of the "Hohen Schule" (ZBHS), "Sonderstab weltanschauliche Information in Berlin".

Most of these files are written documents which were last found in the alternative office of the ERR in Ratibor. A part of the staff and the management of the Ostbücherei with large stocks of books were evacuated from Berlin to there. The remains of documents rescued by the members of the HAG Ostland, Ukraine and White Ruthenia were also recorded in Ratibor. The preserved files should come from holdings that were moved from Ratibor to the west. Subsequent additions to the holdings were mainly made by levies from the military archives, by re-enlargements of microfilms from the YIVO Institute, New York, by late recorded files from American repatriation, by three volumes from the dissolved holdings of the Rosenberg offices of the Central State Archives of the GDR (62 Tue 1) and by personal documents from the so-called "NS Archive of the Ministry for State Security of the GDR". The documents preserved at the end of the war and accessible to the Western Allies were used as evidence for the IMT process. The essential components were then left to the Centre de Documentation Juive Contemporaine (CDJC), Paris. ERR documents can also be found today in the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), Washington, in the YIVO Institute for Jewish Reserch, Washington, and in the Nederlands Instituut voor Oorlogsdocumentatie (NIOD), Amsterdam. Documents from Rosenberg offices also reached archives of the former Soviet Union. An extensive collection (especially the provenance ERR) is kept in the Tsentral`nyi derzhavnyi arhiv vyshchykh orhaniv vlady ta upravlinnia Ukraïny (TsDAVO Ukraïny) in Kiev, further files in the Rossiiskii gosudarstvennyi voennyi arkhiv (RGVA) in Moscow and in the Lithuanian Central State Archives, Vilnius. The Federal Archives, Bildarchiv, holds an extensive collection of photographs from the ERR (holdings Fig. 131). Inventories, directories and transport lists by the ERR of "seized objects" are contained in the holdings of B 323 Treuhandverwaltung von Kulturgut. Archive processing The NS 30 collection is a conglomerate of scattered files and individual documents. In the interest of rapid utilisation, the documents were recorded provisionally without costly evaluation and administrative work. Mrs. Elisabeth Kinder produced the preliminary finding aid book in 1968, from which essential elements of this introduction are taken. The "new entries" were recorded by the undersigned in 2003/2004.

In the late Middle Ages, Deersheim belonged to the Halberstadt monastery, which fell to the Electors of Brandenburg in 1650 as the principality of Halberstadt, and in 1816 was absorbed into the Prussian province of Saxony, which existed until 1945. Rechte in Deersheim also owned the Westerburg office. The Westerburg was already awarded in 1180 by the bishops of Halberstadt to the Counts of Regenstein. After the extinction of the Regensteiner in 1599, the dukes of Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel inherited the office of Westerburg, but the Elector of Brandenburg was able to move in the fief as Prince of Halberstadt in 1670. The von Gustedt family was probably already resident in the parish of Deersheim and neighbouring Bexheim in 1406. In 1538 Cardinal Albrecht of Brandenburg, as administrator of the diocese of Halberstadt, enfeoffed it with jurisdiction in both villages. In the 18th century the jurisdiction was divided between the manor and the Westerburg office, in 1842 it was completely in the office. In 1706 von Gustedt acquired the parish patronage of the Braunschweig monastery St. Blasius, after they already had the patronage of the chapel in Bexheim. The estate remained in family ownership until its expropriation in the course of the land reform in 1945. Inventory information: The manor archive of the von Gustedt family from Deersheim has an older order, as old signatures on the files and an old repertory from the 2nd decade of the 19th century prove. In addition, there seems to have been a land registry that was not passed through much later. A final order of the entire file and document material was planned for the period after the end of the Second World War by the Archive Advisory Office of the Province of Saxony. In the course of the land reform, however, the manor archive was salvaged by the state main archive and first transferred to Wernigerode, then to the Magdeburg archive. In this phase there were probably losses in the portfolio. For the archival new order, the old registry structure, which could be restored except for a few gaps, offered itself as a structuring system. The holdings of the old manor archive and a lot of loose and partly disordered files had to be distributed into this system. There is no denying that there are shortcomings in this division of the registry. Their disintegration, however, would have led to the dissolution of the collection, especially as the construction of the old manor archive had been severely disrupted. The numerous loose sheets were divided into the individual chapters and placed in folders at the end of each chapter. On the basis of a contract concluded in 2000, the holdings are kept as a deposit in the Saxony-Anhalt State Archives. The main index of the Deersheim manor archive was transferred from an access file to the present archive information system in January 2014. The documents handed over in connection with the conclusion of the deposit agreement by the von Gustedt family as a supplement to the deposit were already listed under the item "Annex" in 2013.

Brief description: Ulrich Delius and Water Baumeister (1903 - 1971), Photographers Scope: 76 units Contents: Photos: History of photography; Photo Sport company; family portraits; written material: family tree Duration: 1925-1933; 2006 Instructions for use: Individual units cannot be used for conservation reasons. Preface: The estate of Walter Baumeister and Ulrich Delius was donated to the Stuttgart City Archives in November 2006 by Mrs. Inge Eberle-Delius, the daughter of the photographer Ulrich Delius. It contains stereo glass slides with night shots of the Stuttgart Light Festival in 1928, photo albums with family portraits, views of Stuttgart and other places in Baden-Württemberg, and excursions with participants in photo courses, as well as a copy of a family tree of the Baumeister family. Ulrich Delius ran the photo studio Photo-Sport at Büchsenstraße 8 in Stuttgart together with Walter Baumeister (1903 - 1971), a great cousin of the painter Willi Baumeister. In this context, they offered courses for amateur photographers, with whom they undertook excursions to the region around Tübingen and the eastern northern Black Forest. Both had a special interest in monastery architecture. In July 1928 Ulrich Delius married Irma Baumeister, the sister of the painter Walter Baumeister. At this time only his mother-in-law Emma Baumeister, née Vock (5.8.1878 - ca. 1934), was still alive, his father-in-law Erich Baumeister (18.10.1877 - 20.11.1924) had died of blood poisoning after a visit to the barber. Ulrich Delius and Irma Baumeister had six daughters together, the two older ones, Eleonore and Inge, can be seen in some of the children's portraits. Walter Baumeister was married for about ten years to Hede Baumeister, née Oberndorfer (born 1909), with whom he had his son Dieter. The marriage was divorced. The Baumeister and Delius married couple lived together with Emma Baumeister in Sonnenbergstraße 5 b. The late Erich Baumeister had been a partner in a metal goods factory in Büchsenstraße 8, where Ulrich Delius set up the Photo-Sport studio in 1928. Walter Baumeister, who had continued his father's business until then, must have joined the company around 1929, because from 1930 he is named in the address book as managing director of the Photo-Sport company. In October 1929 a branch was opened in Hirschstraße and Breite Straße 2. The Delius family moved to Ludwigsburg around 1932, where Ulrich Delius set up his own photo studio. Walter Baumeister continued the Photo-Sport company until the end of World War II, or at least until the destruction of Stuttgart's city centre in 1944. His extensive camera collection, which he had hidden at a secret location, was confiscated by the Allies after the end of the war because the company's authorized signatory had told them where he was hiding. This also meant the end of the Photo-Sport company. The Baumeister-Delius estate contains photos on the history of photography in Stuttgart. Thus the photos of the excursions of the photo course participants of the company Photo Sport can be regarded as proof for the spreading of the medium photography in large population strata. For a long time photography as a hobby had been unaffordable for many because of the high costs, but after the invention of the 35 mm camera it quickly became popular. Here and there you can see technical tricks like attaching a camera to a hot air balloon for "aerial photos" on photos of excursions of the company Photo-Sport with course participants. The few photographs from the late 1920s that document events such as the 1928 Colonial Conference, a visit to the Sarasani Circus, a zeppelin over Stuttgart, the Hindenburg visit to Stuttgart and military parades are worthy of special mention. The family photos were taken during excursions or on the occasion of birthdays, weddings and Christmas parties. The use of the estate is free of charge. The stereo glass slides with their analog reproductions are locked for use in the reading room. Instead, photo prints are available for viewing in the reading room. Additional digital copies of the glass slides were made. The collection covers the years 1925 to 1933 and 2006 and contains 40 glass slides with reproductions, seven photo albums and one document.

Overview: The beginnings of modern associations date back to the 17th and 18th centuries. Language societies, science academies and newly flourishing Freemason lodges emerged, which pursued the claim to have an educational and educational effect. The economic and intellectual development of other circles was ensured by non-profit societies, reading societies, patriotic associations and societies. In Rostock this club life began towards the end of the 18th century. A charitable society can be traced back to 1780. The Patriotic Association, founded in 1798, was mainly dedicated to the promotion of agriculture. The Societät (since 1794) and the Klub (since 1796) wanted to offer their members reading, playing and entertainment opportunities. The Society of Natural Scientists was formed in 1800 and the Philomatic Society in 1819. There were also several reading societies. The actual time of the association's foundation, however, only began with the revival of political life, especially community life, in the 1930s and 1940s. As in other cities, clubs for singing and gymnastics, for trade, for mission and nursing, for beautification of the city, election reform, worker education, dance and social entertainment were founded in Rostock during this time. Although most of the associations had a short life and little importance, in their totality they shaped the cultural life of the city. The larger associations and societies had an important and over decades consolidated position. During the war in the 19th and 20th centuries, military associations as well as support associations and foundations for soldiers were formed. The associations experienced massive restrictions in their freedom during the period of National Socialism. Numerous associations and societies were banned and dissolved or united under the umbrella of National Socialist imperial associations. Under the title "Vereine, Leichen- und Witwenkassen, Veranstaltungen, Jubiläen" ("Associations, Corpse and Widow's Box Offices, Events, Anniversaries"), the collection comprises material from various origins, areas and epochs. A directory compiled by the town archivist Ernst Dragendorff indicates that the holdings - as a collection - were already established at the end of the 19th, beginning of the 20th century. The numerous programmes, newspaper clippings, posters, printed statutes and annual reports are the result of systematic collecting activities. There are also documents from provenance-related collections, in particular from the estates of archivists Karl Koppmann and Ludwig Krause, the mayor Magnus Maßmann, the chemical manufacturer Friedrich Witte and the school councillor Erich Stegemann, or from the council collection. In individual cases, the documents in question are actually from the provenance of associations or societies. Some of the association files originally included in the holdings (provenance holdings) were separated in the GDR period (Rostocker Kunstverein) or assigned to existing provenance holdings (Schützenkompanie). The collection Neue Heimat - Gemeinnützige Wohnungs- und Siedlungsgesellschaft der Deutschen Arbeitsfront im Gau Mecklenburg GmbH was spun off in 2006 and classified in the trade and economy group according to the tectonics of the archive.

Brief description: In October 1979, the local council decided to establish a collection of urban history with a special focus on the 20th century within the framework of a contract for work. The task of this institution should not only be a collection of material, but primarily the preparation and presentation of contemporary historical themes in exhibitions. In April 1980 the journalist and historian Dr. Karlheinz Fuchs was entrusted with this task. A public appeal by the then Lord Mayor Manfred Rommel in the spring of 1982 for the handing over of documents and objects from the Nazi era was met with great approval by the public, so that numerous objects could be handed over to the employees for their exhibitions. In addition, contemporary witnesses were available for interviews. Between August 1982 and December 1984, five exhibitions on the subject of "Stuttgart in the Third Reich" were shown. When the project was discontinued in 1984, an exhibition was still pending ("Stuttgart in War - the Years from 1939 to 1945"). Under the auspices of historian Dr. Marlene Hiller of the Library for Contemporary History, this was made up on the occasion of the 50th return of the outbreak of war in 1989. Scope: 1100 units / 6.1 linear metres Content: Documents: Documents on the establishment of the project Contemporary History and its staff; Planning and realisation of the exhibitions; Collection of exhibition objects; Loans, donations and purchases for the exhibitions; Interviews with contemporary witnesses Photographs: Photos from the exhibitions; photos, contact prints, negatives, slides and photo albums from the Nazi era, audio cassettes and tapes: interviews with contemporary witnesses, original recordings from the Nazi era, radio broadcasts, accompanying music in the exhibitions, videos and films: Interviews with contemporary witnesses, documentaries, feature films and television films, recordings of the project Zeitgeschichte Bücher: Bücher aus der NS-Zeit as well as books about the NS period Posters and plans from the NS period Duration: (1891-) 1979-1990 Instructions for use: Some units are still subject to a 30-year blocking period; three personal units are subject to special blocking periods; many photo units are subject to copyright; some units are blocked for conservation reasons. Foreword: History of the project In October 1979, the local council decided to build up a collection of urban history with a special focus on the 20th century. The task of this institution should not only be a collection of material, but first and foremost the preparation and presentation of contemporary historical themes in the form of exhibitions. In April 1980, a contract for work was signed with the historian and journalist Dr. Karlheinz Fuchs, according to which he was commissioned to develop a concept for the collection of urban history with a special focus on the 20th century ("collection of contemporary history") as well as to prepare and organise exhibitions on contemporary historical themes in agreement with and in cooperation with the cultural office of the city of Stuttgart. In addition, the two historians Bernd Burkhardt and Walter Nachtmann have also been working on the project since spring and autumn 1980, respectively. The graphic artist Michael Molnar was engaged in freelance collaboration for the exhibition design and realization. A secretariat was set up in April 1982. In August of the same year, two additional freelancers were hired on an hourly basis. Since the end of 1982, a pedagogical-didactic employee had been working on the project, whose position was financed by the Robert Bosch Foundation in the first year and then by the Cultural Office. In the spring of 1982, the press published an appeal by the then Lord Mayor Manfred Rommel to support the contemporary history project by surrendering documents and objects from the Nazi era. This appeal received a great response from the population, so that the employees were given numerous objects for their exhibitions. In addition, contemporary witnesses were available for interviews. The venue for all exhibitions was the Tagblatt Tower in Eberhardstraße (cultural centre "Kultur unterm Turm"). On 13 August 1982 the first exhibition "Prolog. Political Posters of the Late Weimar Republic" opened. The accompanying exhibition "Völkische Radikale in Stuttgart. On the Prehistory and Early Phase of the NSDAP 1890-1925" was shown from November 12, 1982. Both exhibitions ran until 12 January 1983. The second major exhibition "The Seizure of Power. From Republic to Brown City" was opened on 28 January 1983. The accompanying exhibition "Friedrich Wolf. The years in Stuttgart 1927-1933. An example" was shown from 9 July to 13 November 1983. From 23 March to 22 December 1984 the exhibition "Adaptation - Resistance - Persecution. The years from 1933 to 1939". This exhibition encompassed the themes "Everyday Life", "Resistance" and "Persecution of the Jews of Stuttgart", originally planned as individual complexes, each between 1933 and 1939, whereby views of the wartime period also showed the consequences of the National Socialist dictatorship for Stuttgart. Extensive catalogues were published for all exhibitions (see references). Dissolution of the project, exhibition "Stuttgart in the Second World War" Because of the amount of material, for financial reasons and also because the project broke new ground, the deadlines set for the individual exhibitions could not be met. When the fixed-term employment contracts of the project staff expired as planned at the end of March 1984 and the project was terminated, an exhibition was still pending ("Stuttgart in the War - the Years from 1939 to 1945"). This was made up for the 50th return of the outbreak of war in 1989 (1.9. - 22.7.). The specialist staff for this was provided by the Library for Contemporary History, money and premises were provided by the City of Stuttgart. The historian Dr. Marlene Hiller from the Library of Contemporary History was commissioned with the exhibition project. Further employees were Chris Glass, Dr. Benigna Schönhagen and Stefan Kley. A book accompanying the exhibition was also published here. Content of the inventory: On the one hand, the collection contains documents and files produced by the members of the contemporary history project as part of their work. This includes correspondence with lenders and interview partners, but also correspondence with the administration about the provision of office space, the collection of information material and the like. By far the largest part of the collection, however, consists of the collected objects, photos, sound and film cassettes as well as books, which were acquired for the individual exhibitions by donation, loan or purchase. A further focus are the numerous interviews with contemporary witnesses, some of which are available in the form of video cassettes, but most of which are in the form of audio cassettes, most of which have been digitized subsequently and can now be used in the form of mp3 or wav files. However, this only applies to audio cassettes with interviews with contemporary witnesses. Sound cassettes with other content (e.g. music, industrial noises, excerpts from speeches) or sound cassettes on which (today's) SWR programmes are recorded have not been digitised because they are also available elsewhere (e.g. in the radio archive). Some of the interviews were transcribed by the project staff (some, however, incomplete). The original plan to issue an extra volume with the interviews conducted could no longer be realized. . Further information on the inventory and its use: The inventory comprises a total of 1100 units. The written documents have a circumference of 6.1 linear metres. There are also seven photo albums, 297 photo folders, one framed photo, 665 slides, 107 units with negatives, four films, 58 postcards, 20 audio and magnetic tapes, 56 video cassettes, 331 audio cassettes and 59 books. The actual period of the collection runs from 1979 to 1990, with the collection containing pre-files or documents, books, photos, etc., which were taken before 1945 and date back to 1891. The documents were handed over to the City Archive by the Cultural Office in May 1987. Since there was no order or classification, this had to be done on the basis of the existing material itself. Some of the documents are still blocked due to the general 30-year blocking period for fact files. Copyrights must be respected for the numerous photos stored in the photo archive.
