The collection "Landratsamt Monschau mit der Signatur BR 0036" covers the period between 1816 and 1972 and consists of 433 files arranged according to subject areas. In the years 1887 and 1941, files from the Monschau District Office were taken over by the HSA Düsseldorf. The district of Monschau was formed in 1816 from the municipalities of Eicherscheid, Höfen, Imgenbroich, Kalterherberg, Kesternich, Konzen, Lammersdorf, Monschau, Mützenich, Roetgen, Rohren, Rott, Ruhrberg (later Rurberg), Schmidt, Simmerath, Steckenborn, Strauch, Vossenack and Zweifall. Monschau was at the same time the district town. Later these churches were divided into the following five ministries: Amt Imgenbroich (Eicherscheid. Imgenbroich, Konzen and Mützenich), Amt Kalterherberg (Kalterherberg, Höfen, Rohre), Amt Kesternich (Kesternich, Rurberg, Schmidt, Steckenborn, Strauch), Amt Roetgen (Roetgen, Rott, Zweifall), Amt Simmerath (Simmerath, Lammersdorf, Vossenack). Previously the district was called Montjoie and has only since 1918 the today's name Monschau. Until 1945 the district of Monschau belonged to the Prussian administrative district of Aachen in the Rhine province. From 1945 the district belonged to the British occupation zone and from 1946 to the state of North Rhine-Westphalia. In 1949, the district of Monschau changed to the federal state of North Rhine-Westphalia, which belonged to the administrative district of Aachen. In 1972 the district of Monschau was dissolved in the course of the municipal restructuring and almost completely integrated into the district of Aachen. The Monschau District Office had a double function. As an actual organ of the administrative district the office had to fulfill tasks of the country and the national administration. The holdings of the Monschau District Office include subjects such as district administration, municipal administration, construction, immigration and emigration, railways, fishing, forestry, agriculture, melioration, health care, military, trade and commerce, churches, police and schools. The files are to be ordered and quoted with indication of the inventory signature and current no., e.g. BR 0036 No. 72 Literature: Pilgram, Hans: Der Landkreis Monschau, Bonn 1958.

History of the inventor: On 14 November 1897, the German Reich occupied the Chinese port of Tsingtau and, in a contract with the Chinese Empire dated 6 March 1898, leased an area of 550 km² with Tsingtau as its centre for 99 years - the Kiautschou protectorate. The province of Schantung, to which the leased area actually belonged, was declared a German area of interest and a neutral zone. In this area the empire received concessions for the construction and maintenance of railway lines and mines. However, as early as 30 October 1895, the German Reich had the right to establish branches in the international contracted ports of Tientsin and Hankou, which had existed since 1859/60. And of course the empire, like the other great powers and other states involved in China trade, also maintained a legation in Beijing. German missions were also active in the interior of China, as were German merchants, especially in Shanghai. The German Reich was therefore indeed heavily involved in China and saw itself as such. Against this background, the xenophobic riots in China in Germany that began at the end of 1899 and quickly became more serious were perceived as a threat. The regent, Empress Cixi, remained ambiguous at first in her measures against the "fist fighters united in righteousness", referred to by the colonial powers as "boxers" for short, units of the imperial Chinese army partly allied themselves with them. The uprising continued to increase from January 1900 onwards, with excessive acts of violence against Chinese Christians and foreigners. From May 1900 the foreign landscapes in Beijing were threatened by insurgents, the railway lines from Beijing to the coast were attacked. The Gesandschaften therefore requested military support. In May 1900, the German Reich sent a contingent of the III Sea Battalion stationed in Tsingtau to Beijing, two further companies were ordered to Tientsin, and the cruiser squadron moved to the roadstead before the Taku forts at the mouth of the river Peiho. Meanwhile, the situation in Beijing continued to deteriorate and further troops were needed. In June 1900, the troops of the colonial powers in China formed an expeditionary corps led by the British admiral Seymour (2066 men). However, this was stopped in mid-June by Chinese troops (boxers and regular army) and had to turn back. The foreigners and Chinese Christians in Beijing had meanwhile barricaded themselves in the Gesandschaftsviertel and were cut off from the outside world. The allied colonial powers (USA, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Austria-Hungary, Russia, Japan) stormed the Taku-Forts on June 17, the Chinese government ultimatively called on all foreigners to leave China on June 19. On 20 June the German envoy, Baron Clemens von Ketteler, was murdered in Beijing. By edict of 21 June, China effectively declared war on the Allies, but this was not reciprocated by them. The Allied troops withdrew to Tientsin at the end of June 1900. In Germany, on 25 June, a naval expedition corps of 2528 men (under Major General von Höpfner) was formed from the members of the naval infantry. In addition, on 3 July the order was given to set up an expedition corps of volunteers from the army (under Lieutenant General von Lessel). The Allies had agreed to form an international expeditionary corps, with Germany as commander-in-chief. On 12 August 1900, the former chief of the Great General Staff, Field Marshal Alfred Graf von Waldersee, was appointed commander-in-chief of the international armed force, which finally comprised 64,000 troops. Waldersee used the "Army Command East Asia" as a staff. The East Asian Expeditionary Corps set sail with its first parts on 27 July in Bremerhaven, when Emperor Wilhelm II gave the famous "Hun speech" at their farewell. With the 19,093 men of its East Asian Expeditionary Corps under Lieutenant General von Lessel, the German Reich provided almost a third of the international armed forces. Structure of the East Asian Expeditionary Corps: 3 infantry brigades to 2 infantry regiments with 9 companies each 1 fighter company 1 cavalry regiment to 4 escadrons 1 field artillery regiment to 3 divisions with a total of 8 batteries 2 light ammunition columns 1 battalion heavy field howitzers with 2 batteries 1 pioneer regiment with 9 companies each 1 hunter company 1 cavalry regiment to 4 escadrons 1 field artillery regiment to 3 divisions with a total of 8 batteries 2 light ammunition columns 1 battalion heavy field howitzers with 2 batteries 1 pioneerBattalion of 3 Companies 1 Railway Battalion of 3 Companies 1 Corps Telegraph Department 1 Medical Company 1 Munitions Column Department with 7 Munitions Columns 1 Train Command with 3 Supply Columns, 1 field bakery company, 6 field hospitals 1 stage command with 1 horse depot, 1 military hospital depot, 1 stage ammunition column, personnel for 3 war hospitals and one hospital ship, several supply stations Already on the 4th day of operations, the first day of operations was at the hospital. On August 1, the Allied troops (about 20,000 men) gathered in Tientsin had once again set out and this time were able to fight their way through to Beijing. On August 14, Beijing was taken and then plundered for three days. The Chinese government fled to the south. When the international troops under Waldersee arrived in China, the situation was essentially settled, Beijing and Tientsin were horrified. Numerous "punitive expeditions" for the final destruction of the Boxers followed, in which the East Asian Expeditionary Corps was also intensively involved. The Allied approach was characterized by excessive brutality and numerous riots against the civilian population. On January 10, 1901, the Regent accepted the conditions of the Allies as laid down in the "Boxer Protocol" signed on September 7, 1901. The East Asian Expeditionary Corps was disbanded on 17 May 1901 and transformed into the East Asian Occupation Brigade stationed at Beijing, Tientsin, Langfang, Yangtsun, Tangku and Shanghaikwan. Structure of the East Asian Occupation Brigade: 1 command staff with administrative authorities 2 infantry regiments with 6 companies each, of which 1 company mounted 1 escadron hunter on horseback 1 field battery 1 pioneer company with telegraph detachment 1 field hospital The East Asian Occupation Brigade was further reduced in size and restructured on 1 May and 11 December 1902. On 6 March 1906, the East Asian Occupation Brigade was also dissolved and replaced by a battalion-strength detachment. This was replaced on 5 April 1909 by a naval infantry unit, which was wound up in 1910. The East Asian Department in the Prussian Ministry of War (inventory PH 2) was organizationally responsible. Processing note: The holdings initially comprised only three AE, which together with the few files of the Schutztruppen formed the holdings of RW 51 Kaiserliche Schutztruppen and other armed forces overseas. In 2008, nine further AE of different origins were added and a separate portfolio RW 61 was now formed. The inventory was developed in February 2010. Description of the holdings: The holdings contain the documents of the East Asian Expeditionary Corps and the East Asian Occupation Brigade, as far as they are available in the military archives. Characterization of content: The inventory contains hardly any real material files. It consists mainly of several German-Chinese place name glossaries. Worth mentioning is a publication about the locations Langfang, Yangtsun, Tangku and Schanghaikwan with numerous illustrations. State of development: The inventory initially comprised only three AE, which together with the few files of the Schutztruppen formed the inventory RW 51 Kaiserliche Schutztruppen and other armed forces overseas. In 2008, nine further AE of different origins were added and a separate portfolio RW 61 was now formed. The inventory was developed in February 2010. Pre-archival order: The documents of the East Asian Expeditionary Corps and the East Asian Occupation Brigade must essentially be regarded as lost in the fire of the Army Archives in 1945. Only pieces that have survived by chance have been preserved. These were supplemented by documents from the environment of the two associations, the branches in Tientsin, Hankou and Beijing.

Preliminary remark: Karl Hein was born on 20 February 1901 in Frankfurt/Main. After passing the one-year voluntary examination, he joined the Royal Prussian Railway Administration in Frankfurt in 1916, where he was initially employed in field service at railway stations and offices as well as in telegraph and radio service. In 1927 he won a prize at the 4th International Telegraph Competition in Como and obtained the Funkpatent I in Berlin. Great. From 1934 to 1941, he was responsible for drawing up express train timetables and bus traffic on Reichsautobahnen in the timetable department of the Reichsbahn Directorate in Frankfurt. Between 1941 and 1945 he organized the Wehrmacht vacation traffic and courier services at the Reich Ministry of Transport in Berlin. Immediately after World War II, Karl Hein was employed as a travel official at the Frankfurt regional office of the United States Zone in connection with U.S. Railway stations (Railway Grand Divisions and Second Military Railway Service), where he was responsible for rebuilding rail traffic. From 1947 until his retirement in 1964, he was employed in the operations department of the Head Office of the Railways (HVE), later the Head Office of the German Federal Railways (HVB), from 1947 until his retirement in 1964, and from 1948 as head of their travel agency. In this function, Karl Hein had the task of organising and supervising train journeys for high-ranking personalities, in particular heads of state and members of government, at home and abroad. Since he took part in these special train journeys himself, he came into personal contact with almost everything that had rank and name in the Federal Republic of the 50s. Among others he accompanied Theodor Heuss, Heinrich Lübke, Konrad Adenauer, Ludwig Erhard, Charles de Gaulle, Schah Reza Pahlevi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi, Alcide de Gasperi, Emperor Haile Selassie I. of Ethiopia, King Paul I. of Greece, Archbishop Makarios, etc.The highlight of his career was undoubtedly his participation in Adenauer's trip to Moscow in 1955, which resulted in the establishment of diplomatic relations between Bonn and Moscow and the release of the German prisoners of war. For his work he received numerous awards, such as the Federal Cross of Merit and Officer's Crosses of Orders in Italy, Greece, Madagascar and Liberia. Karl Hein collected numerous memorabilia on his travels, especially postcards and photos, but also file material, invitation cards, travel programs etc. and kept them carefully, partly glued on photo cardboard and inscribed. This collection was donated by his daughter Lydia von Prondzynski, Bad Oberdorf, to the Ludwigsburg State Archives in 1991. It documents not only a special piece of railway history at a time when trains were still travelling as "rolling embassies" of statesmen through documents about technical details of the trains looked after by Karl Hein and about the condition of the routes travelled, but also allows a charming look behind the scenes of major state visits.The present stock PL 718, which comprises 0.4 linear m = 15 archive units, was ordered and indexed by the undersigned in February 1991. The computer-aided fair copy of the repertory was obtained by Hildegard Aufderklamm.Ludwigsburg, March 1991Leuchweis

Paul Klunzinger was born on 26 May 1828 in Güglingen as the son of Karl Klunzinger (1799-1861) and Sophie Koch (1808-1847). After attending the Polytechnic School in Stuttgart (1842-1848/49), he emigrated via Italy to Austria, where from January 1850 he worked as an engineer for railway constructions in various projects. In the 1880s, Paul Klunzinger increasingly turned to hydraulic engineering and, in this context, participated in the preparation of expert reports and expert opinions. Among the projects in which he participated as an engineer or expert are the Klagenfurt - Villach railway line, the Raab - Budapest railway line and a project on the curvature of the Vienna River. The children Henriette (1854), Paul (Pál) ( 1858), Helene (1860), Richard (1865), Walther ( 1868) and Otto (1872) are descended from the marriage with Anna Mauch (wedding in the year 1854). Paul followed in his father's footsteps and became an architect; Richard became a doctor in Steyr. Her uncle, Paul's younger brother Karl Benjamin Klunzinger (1834-1914), made a name for himself as a doctor and zoologist. Before he became Professor of Zoology, Anthropology and Hygiene at the Polytechnic in Stuttgart in 1884, he had spent several years as a doctor in the Egyptian town of Al-Qusair (Koseir). Like his brother and his children, he always remained attached to his homeland. The family archive Klunzinger/Koch/Mauch was transferred by Dr. Anton Schimatzek from Vienna to the main state archive Stuttgart in 1988. Contents and evaluation Paul Klunzinger and his professional activity as a railway engineer and expert in questions of hydraulic engineering are at the centre of the tradition. In addition to private documents on him and his family, the collection also contains sketches and calculations from various construction projects, including the curvature of the Vienna River and the design of the Vienna Danube Canal. The private documents consist of letters, poems, drawings, family memories and genealogical documents such as family trees and "ancestor passports". They span several generations and provide insights into the family cohesion of a family originally from Swabia who succeeded in the Habsburg Monarchy in the 19th and 20th centuries, and they reflect the political, social and cultural moods of their time. Documents on the activities of Paul Klunzinger, who became a municipal architect in Budapest and was involved in the planning of the Erzsébet-kilátó (Elisabeth Lookout Tower), are kept in the Budapest Föváros Levéltára archive.

Find aids: Find book; Find card index (partly online searchable); partly unexploited registry formers: The first railway in the Prussian province of Saxony started its journey in 1839 between Magdeburg and Schönebeck. It was the first section of the Magdeburg-Leipzig railway line, opened in 1839/40, which, with a route from Prussia via Anhalt-Köthen to Saxony, represented the first cross-border railway connection in Germany and in 1841 also the first German railway junction with the station Köthen. The Magdeburg-Leipziger Eisenbahngesellschaft was responsible for the construction and operation of this railway line. It was primarily private railway companies that drove the revolution in rail transport technology forward at the time. Many other rail connections were built in the following years, such as the Magdeburg-Halberstadt line in 1843 and the Berlin-Potsdam-Magdeburg line in 1845. After the failure of a nationalization initiative of the Reich in the 70s of the 19th century, the Prussian state made efforts to buy up the railway companies. The purchase of the Magdeburg-Halberstädter Eisenbahngesellschaft by the state in 1879 was contractually linked to the establishment of a royal administrative authority. As a result, the "Royal Railway Directorate in Magdeburg" was founded on 29 December 1879. The responsibility of the management, which also included the administration of the Hannover-Altenbekener Eisenbahnunternehmen and the Berlin-Potsdam-Magdeburger Eisenbahngesellschaft, extended as far as the Berlin area. With the reorganization of the Prussian Railway Administration in 1895, which also resulted in the establishment of the Halle Railway Directorate, the Magdeburg Railway Directorate lost more than 200 railway kilometres. After the First World War, the State Treaty establishing the Deutsche Reichseisenbahnen came into force on April 1, 1920, implementing the provisions of the Weimar Constitution. For the Reichseisenbahnen, which were initially subordinated to the Reich Ministry of Transport, a separate company "Deutsche Reichsbahn" was founded in 1924. The Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft (DRG), formed in the same year, took over the operation of the Reichseisenbahnen on 11 October 1924. The administration of the route network was the responsibility of the Reichsbahndirektionen, which had already been established in 1922. For the management in Magdeburg, this initially only had a name-changing effect. On October 1, 1931, however, the Reichsbahndirektion Magdeburg was closed and its Reichsbahnbetriebsämter divided into the Reichsbahndirektionen Hannover, Halle and Berlin. After the Second World War, on 18 August 1945, the Reichsbahndirektion Magdeburg was re-established. In the following years, its responsibilities were extended to include the small and private railways expropriated between 1945 and 1949. With the end of the GDR on 1 October 1990, the Reichsbahndirektion Magdeburg was dissolved for the second time. Inventory information: In the course of the privatization of the railway in 1994, the administrative archives of the Reichsbahn directorates were also dissolved. According to the contractual agreements with the Deutsche Bahn AG, the documents of the former Reichsbahndirektion Magdeburg were handed over to the former Landesarchiv Magdeburg. In 2008, the holdings were transferred to the Dessau Department of the Landeshauptarchiv. With the nationalisation of the private railway companies as well as the small and private railways after 1945, their documents also reached the archives of the then Railway Directorate and the later Reichsbahn Directorate in Magdeburg. As a result of its dissolution in 1931, the latter in turn had to hand over large parts of its written material to the Reichsbahn Directorate in Hanover, which is why the corresponding archival records are now also to be found in the Lower Saxony Main State Archives in Hanover. The frequently changed demarcation of responsibilities to the directorates in Halle and Berlin also led to the fact that the most diverse provenances can be found in the respective archives. A caesura was made for the year 1945/1949 in the inventory of the Reichsbahn Directorate in Magdeburg. In 1949, the nationalisation measures for small and private railways were completed. In the railway archive of the Reichsbahndirektion Magdeburg it was decided to integrate the documents of these railways into the stock "G 5" as a separate stock group and to add the addition "Klb" for small railways to the stock signature "G 5". The structure of the collection is based on an order scheme practiced in the railway archives. For the period 1945-1990 the stock "M 60" was formed, whereby temporal overlaps exist. Additional information: Due to the large size of the stock and in order to grant the public online access to the data records on file or document level as quickly as possible, the activation of individual data records takes place continuously as soon as possible after their input and verification. It must therefore be taken into account that the activated data records by no means reflect the complete holdings and in some cases not the entire archives of a classification group. Cards included: 500

Find aids: Findbuch 2014 (online searchable) Registraturbildner: In the course of the reorganization of the postal system in 1850 due to a cabinet order of King Friedrich Wilhelm IV of 19 September 1849, 26 Royal Postal Directorates were formed: Aachen, Arnsberg, Berlin, Breslau, Bromberg, Coblenz, Cologne, Cöslin, Danzig, Düsseldorf, Erfurt, Frankfurt, Gumbinnen, Königsberg, Liegnitz, Magdeburg, Marienwerder, Merseburg, Minden, Münster, Oppeln, Posen, Potsdam, Stettin, Stralsund and Trier. The Merseburg Regional Postal Directorate was established for the Merseburg administrative district. The Chief Postal Officers managed the administration of their postal districts independently and under their own responsibility. The supervision of the railway postal service established on 1 May 1849 was carried out by a special railway postal inspector. His business was transferred from 1854 onwards to the district postal inspectors. Since the post office building in Halle offered more favourable conditions than the building in Merseburg, the Oberpostdirektion Merseburg had to move its official seat to Halle on 1 October 1852. By decree of 22 December 1875, the telegraph system was transferred to the Postal Directorates from January 1876. From this time on, the postal institutions were known as post offices and telegraph offices. In November 1881 the construction of a telephone station was started in Magdeburg. This was put into operation in January 1882. The post office cheque offices established in 1909 were responsible for several regional post offices. Telegraph offices were established in 1920. The local services, as the lowest level of the postal services, were the post offices. The local offices at the lowest level also included the postal agencies, postal auxiliaries, railway post offices, telegraph and telephone offices as well as public pay telephones in the municipalities. With the law of 27 February 1934 on simplifying and reducing the cost of administration, it was decided that, among other things, the Oberpostdirektion Halle was to be dissolved by 1 April 1934. The area of the Oberpostdirektion Halle is integrated into the Reichspostdirektion Leipzig (as a kind of compensation for the integration of the Reichsbahndirektion Leipzig into the Reichsbahndirektionsbezirk Halle). The Halle (Leipzig) district of the Reich Postal Administration included: Oberpostdirektion Halle, Telegraphenzeugamt Halle; Telegraphenbauämter Halle, Naumburg, Torgau; Verstärkeramt Bitterfeld; larger offices: Halle 2, Bitterfeld, Eisleben, Merseburg, Naumburg, Sangerhausen, Weißenfels, Wittenberg, Zeitz Delitzsch, Eisenburg, Falkenberg, Torgau; medium-sized offices: Ammendorf, Corbetha, Elsterwerda, Hettstedt, Klostermansfeld, Könnern, Schkeuditz, Allstedt, Alsleben, Artern, Bad Dürrenberg, Bad Kösen, Bad Liebenwerda, Bad Schmiedeberg, Düben, Freyburg, Gräfenhainichen, Herzberg, Hohenmölsen, Jessen, Kölleda, Leuna, Mücheln, Querfurt, Roßla, Teuchern, Zahna; offices of small extent: Annaburg, Bad Bibra, Bad Lauchstädt, Belgern, Bockwitz, Crensitz, Crossen, Diemitz, Dölau, Dommitzsch, Droyßig, Eckartsberga, Ermsleben, Gerbstedt, Gröbers, Heldrungen, Heringen, Kelbra, Kemberg, Kleinwittenberg, Landsberg, Laucha, Lauchhammer, Lützen, Mansfeld, Mückenberg, Mühlberg, Nauendorf, Nebra, Niemberg, Oberröblingen, Ortrand, Osterfeld, Prettin, Pretzsch, Roitzsch, Roßleben, Schafstädt, Schildau, Schkölen, Schönewalde, Stößen, Stolberg, Teutschenthal, Tisza, Wallhausen, Wettin, Wiehe, Wippra, Wolfen, Zörbig, Zschornewitz. Inventory information: In the period from 1989 to 1991, several visits to the administrative archive of the Deutsche Bundespost in Halle were carried out by staff members of the Magdeburg State Archives. Here, the archival material was viewed, evaluated and prepared for transfer to the state main archive (as the final archive). In the course of the location profiling between the individual locations of the Landeshauptarchiv, the postal archives were transferred in several steps to Department 4 (Dessau) of the Landeshauptarchiv. In May 2008, approximately 100 linear metres of postal archives were taken over from the Magdeburg site. In December 2009, approx. 290 running metres were transported from the Merseburg site to the Dessau site. A caesura was set for the postal stocks in May 1945. The continuation of some file units with the registry administrator beyond this caesura could not avoid overlaps in the duration of the stocks. For the archives of the Post Halle, the G 13 Deutsche Reichspost. Reichspostdirektion Halle and M 403 Deutsche Post. District Directorate Halle. When the archive records were taken over from the Merseburg location in 1945, the caesura - separation of the archives of the Reichspost and the Deutsche Post - had not yet taken place. For the personnel files, a list of names (probably compiled by a project manager) was available. The personnel files with a volume of 50.0 running meters were assigned to the G 13 Deutsche Reichspost. Reichspostdirektion Halle. For the rest of the postal files taken over from the Merseburg location, an inventory allocation with a caesura in 1945 and then the indexing/drawing of the individual files via scopeArchiv took place. Within the scope of the indexing work, the technical processing of the individual archival records was carried out at the same time. They were cleaned, demetallized, smoothed, repackaged, labeled and cardboarded.
