The Kislauer Prisons: The buildings on the grounds of the former hunting and pleasure palace of the Speyer prince-bishops in Kislau have served since the attack of the right Rhine parts of the Speyer high monastery on Baden to accommodate various state institutions, some of which existed parallel to each other in different buildings on the palace grounds: as a prison (among other things for revolution participants 1848/49, branch of the Rastatt fortress), custody for women and men, workhouse for socially marginalized men, military hospital and prisoner of war camp in the First World War, branch for women of the Wiesloch sanatorium and nursing home, transit camp for former French foreign legionnaires, refugee camp after 1945 and branch of the Bruchsal penal institution until today. Above all, however, Kislau Castle is still associated with the role it played during the Third Reich, when a protective custody camp and a concentration camp for political prisoners were set up there. Famous political prisoners during the National Socialist era included Adam Remmele, Christian Stock, and Ludwig Marum, who was apparently the only prisoner murdered in Kislau. In the Kislau prison records from the time of National Socialism, Marum is documented as well as a few other, apparently "natural" deaths. During the Nazi era, Kislau was a transit station for many prisoners on their way to other camps, in particular to/from Hinzert (SS special camp), Dachau (concentration camp) and to the Emsland camps (mainly Wehrmacht members). During the Second World War, many prisoners came from abroad; they were Eastern European foreign workers or people from the territories occupied by Germany in Western Europe. Processing: Until 2015, the prison files preserved in fonds 521 formed part of fonds 521 Zugang 1982-48 and 521 Zugang 2003-57. The files were mainly created during the National Socialist era and concern the following Kislauer institutions: - Arbeitshaus- Schutzhaftlager/Konzentrationslager/Bewahrungslager- Straffängnis- Durchgangslager für Fremdenlegionäre. Until 2015, the only finding aid to the files in the 521 Access 1982-48 partial holdings was a typewritten list with names and dates of birth, supplemented by handwritten supplements. This list included - according to the claim - the existing files and a part of the index cards of the prisoner file. The reasons for imprisonment, places of origin, running times of files and, above all, the names of the institutions in which the persons concerned were accommodated were not recorded. Targeted and combined searches, e.g. for protective prisoners whose names were not known in advance, for criminal offences typical of the time, such as decomposition of military strength, refusal to work, forbidden contact with prisoners of war or for places of origin, etc., were not possible in this way. In addition, as the processing revealed, there were unlisted files not included in the list, which were between the others. At the beginning of the development work it was planned to structure the finished finding aid according to institutions, e.g. concentration camp Kislau, workhouse Kislau etc. and within these groups according to alphabet of names. This turned out to be impossible because many prisoners were re-quartered within the Kislau camp complex or because, especially in the case of very many prisoners who were detained for a short period of time (above all detainees under deportation), these details were missing, so that it was very often not possible to make any definite allocations. Another particular difficulty was that the Kislau prisons apparently did not have their own administrations, as can be seen from the stamps, letterheads and address details in the files. In which institution someone was is not always clearly recognizable from the files themselves and would have had to be thoroughly researched and verified on the basis of the parallel transmission in the concrete individual cases (e.g. Kislauer prisoner books, files of the courts and public prosecutor's offices, reparations files). The individual index cards of the prison index have been included in the individual index. These index cards were kept from 1933 to 1938 and contain important personal data: dates of birth, places of origin, reasons for detention, places of detention etc. Often these index cards are the only remaining proof of the imprisonment of a person for political reasons in Kislau. Cards for which files could be identified during the registration work were assigned to these files and were therefore not specifically listed in order to avoid duplication of work. The accounting file, which covers the years approx. 1935-1944, was excluded from the individual indexing. This accounting file contains overviews of deposits and withdrawals of the prisoners' personal funds. The old order numbers in the file list of partial stock 521 Access 1982-48 with about 8500 numbers were retained in order to be able to dispense as far as possible with a concordance. Accordingly, the few gaps found in the sequence of numbers and individual derivatives ("a-numbers") have been preserved. On the other hand, the index cards and the unsigned files from the partial stock 521 Access 2003-57 received new order numbers, which were formed by continued counting.Karlsruhe, in December 2015Dr. Martin Stingl Literature reference: Borgstedt, Angela: Das nordbadische Kislau - Konzentrationslager, Arbeitshaus und Durchgangslager für Fremdenlegionäre, in: Wolfgang Benz/Barbara Distel (ed.): Herrschaft und Gewalt.

History of the inventory surveyor: A survey is the planned surveying and cartographic mapping of a country according to location and altitude. It comprises the creation of a position fixed point field by means of triangulation or trilateration, the creation of a height fixed point field by means of levelling and trigonometric height measurement, topographic mapping and finally the presentation of the results in map series of different scales. Such endeavours usually emanated from the respective government and served purposes of civilian administration, but also of the military. In Prussia, the first state surveys were already carried out under King Friedrich II (from 1767, "Cabinet Map"; 1:50,000), continued from 1816 by the Great General Staff. The resulting maps (1:25,000 and 1:20,000) became the basis for the military operation maps of the time ("General Staff Maps"; 1:80,000 and 1:100,000). These were revised between 1830 and 1865 using current surveying techniques (Prussian original photograph; 1:25,000) and published from 1868. Both due to technical progress in surveying technology and in map display and also due to higher demands, also from civilian side a new version became necessary (Prussian new admission). For this purpose, on January 1, 1875, the position of "Chief of the Landesaufnahme", to whom the Königlich Preußische Landesaufnahme was subject as an authority, was newly established in the Großer Generalstab. The foundations of the work of the Landesaufnahme were laid by the Central Directorate of Surveying in the Prussian State established in 1870. The tasks of the Landesaufnahme included the surveying itself (with determination of trigonometric points and levelling points) on the one hand and the presentation of the results in various map series on the other. The purely military needs were far exceeded, the personnel and financial requirements were considerable. As late as 1875, the head of the Great General Staff therefore attempted to hand over the tasks of the Prussian Landesaufnahme to the civilian side. This attempt was just as unsuccessful as a corresponding attempt by the chief of the Landesaufnahme itself in 1912. At the beginning of the war in 1914, the Landesaufnahme was dissolved as an institution; only the cartographic department remained in the Großer Generalstab. The long-lasting war renewed the need for such an institution, especially for war surveying, so that it was rebuilt on 29 April 1917. Finally, on 1 October 1919, it became an Imperial Authority under the jurisdiction of the Reich Ministry of the Interior, which was renamed the "Reichsamt für Landesaufnahme" on 11 July 1921. The new Prussian State Survey carried out by the Königlich Preußische Landesaufnahme (Royal Prussian State Survey) and also the smaller independent states of the German Empire finally comprised 3307 maps (so-called measuring table sheets) on a scale of 1:25,000. The individual maps each comprise six minutes of arc in width and ten minutes of arc in length. Until 1924 the geographical longitude used the so-called Ferro-Meridian (El Hierro, the westernmost island of the Canary Islands) as the prime meridian, and only from 1924 onwards the Greenwich-Meridian (difference 17°40') was used. The measuring table sheets were numbered line by line from west to east. From 1937 a four-digit row/column number grid was used. The procedure of the Prussian Landesaufnahme as of 1875 became, according to the agreement between Prussia, Bavaria, Saxony and Württemberg of 4 March 1878, the basis of the "Map of the German Reich" completed in 1909 (675 sheets of 30 arc minutes width and 15 arc minutes length; 1:100,000). Structure: Head of the Landesaufnahme (from 1. April 1894 Chief Quartermaster and Chief of the Landesaufnahme; rank Lieutenant General) - Trigonometrical Department (Geodesy) - Topographical Department (production of measuring table sheets) - Cartographical Department (processing of general staff maps) with print shop and photographic institution - Plankammer personnel size: 235 (18 of them officers), 23 commanded officers In the following years the Landesaufnahme was expanded and there were also: an Economic Commission (1878), a Photogrammetric Department (1914), a Colonial Section and a Section for Artillery Plan Material. Number of staff on 1 April 1914: 547 permanent staff (including 31 officers), plus 364 commanded soldiers (including 51 officers). Structure of the new national survey established on 29 April 1917: Chief of the national survey Chief of staff with staff - Trigonometric department - Topographic department - Photogrammetric department - Cartographic department - Geological department - Scientific computing centre - Section for artillery plan material - Planning chamber - affiliated: Office of the Central Directorate of Surveying The Geological Department was dissolved in 1919 when the Landesaufnahme became the responsibility of the Reich Ministry of the Interior, and the Scientific Computing Centre was taken over by the Army Command. Processing note: The inventory was catalogued in February/March by Mr Schütze as part of an internship. A total of 19 files were affected by mould and had to be restored before the content could be catalogued. Once these measures have been completed, these files will be made available. Inventory description: The inventory comprises the documents of the Königlich Preußische Landesaufnahme. Content characterisation: The collection mainly contains documents of the Topographical Department, including annual reports on the surveying travels undertaken in Germany, but also in the German colonies. In addition, there are some files on personnel matters. Pre-archival order: The mass of documents of the Königlich Preußische Landesaufnahme seems to have been lost due to the war. A few documents of the Landesaufnahme, newly established in 1917, were kept in the military archives of the GDR and were included in the stock PH 3 Großer Generalstab of the Prussian Army in 1995. In the year 2007 about 4 linear metres of documents of the first, 1914 dissolved, Landesaufnahme were handed over by the Secret State Archive of Prussian Cultural Heritage to the military archive and included in the newly formed stock PH 34.

Preliminary remark: The files of the proceedings of the Regional Court came in several deliveries into the State Archives. 500 title records were recorded by the archive employee Seufer with the program MIDESTRA, which were converted after continuation of the recording by the archive employee Zeller with the program MIDOSA 95 likewise into the newer data format. The records were then sorted according to the original reference numbers. The relevant registers are in stock E 349. Only a few files have survived from the early years of the court, which was transformed from a district court to a regional court in 1879. Since the beginning of the First World War, the tradition has become denser. It reflects above all the development of white-collar crime, but also the political, criminal disputes in the run-up to the Third Reich.7363 tufts with 33.1 m.

In the course of the modernization push, which was set in motion by Heinrich Friedrich Karl vom und zum Stein and Karl August von Hardenberg's reform officials after Prussia's defeat against Napoleonic France, the decision was made with an audience of 16 December 1808 to abolish the traditional cabinet system in favour of independent specialist ministries and thus also to establish a Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The latter should be responsible for the commercial management of all international law transactions, i.e. the representation of the rights and interests of the Prussian state vis-à-vis other states. The ministry was responsible for embassies and consulates abroad, including the Prussian diplomatic representation in the Kingdom of Saxony in Dresden. Like all diplomatic representations, the legation of Dresden had the task of regulating diplomatic trade between Prussia and the states of the legation, which not only included the Kingdom of Saxony alone, but also included the Thuringian-Saxon and Anhalt states at times. Furthermore, the legation had to take care of the concerns and problems as well as the concerns and wishes of individuals and private institutions in interstate legal relations. The war against France in 1806/07 marked a considerable turning point in relations between Prussia and Saxony. Tensions were insurmountable, and neither state was interested in intensive diplomatic relations, since Saxony, which Napoleon elevated to kingdom status, remained loyal to France until the end of French foreign rule in 1813. During the years 1806 to 1815 diplomatic contacts between the two states were maintained, but due to the political events there was no continuous diplomatic traffic between Prussia and Saxony. In 1813 the envoy in Dresden was called back to Berlin. Only in February 1816, Baron Johann Christian Magnus von Oelssen, a Prussian envoy in Dresden, was again accredited. With the resumption of diplomatic relations after the Congress of Vienna in 1815 and the peace treaty between Saxony and Prussia in May 1815, the following Prussian extraordinary envoys and authorised ministers were active: Oelssen, Baron Johann Christian Magnus of: 1816 - 1819 Jordan, Johann Ludwig of: 1819 - 1848 Canitz and Dallwitz, Julius of: 1848 - 1850 Galen, Count Ferdinand of: 1850 - 1852 Schulenburg, Count of: 1852 Redern, Count Heinrich Alexander of: 1853 - 1859 Solms - Sonnewalde, Count of: 1859 Savigny, Carl Friedrich of: 1859 -1863 Gundlach, of: 1863 Rantzau, Count Otto Karl Josias zu: 1863 - 1864 Buddenbruck, Baron of: 1864 Schulenburg-Priemern, Count Gustav of: 1864 - 1866 Landsberg-Steinfurt, Baron of: 1866 - 1867 Eichmann, Friedrich of: 1867 - 1873 Solms-Sonnewalde-Altpouch, Clemens Eberhard Theodor Graf zu: 1873 - 1878 Dönhoff, Count Otto von: 1878 - 1879 Dönhoff, Count Carl von: 1879 - 1906 Hohenlohe-Oehringen, Prince Hans zu: 1906 - 1911 (not occupied 1911/12) Bülow, Dr. Alfred von: 1912 - 1914 Schwerin, Count Ulrich Karl Wilhelm von: 1914 - 1919 (not occupied 1919) Berger, Herbert Ritter and Edler von: 1920 - 1922 Schellen, Dr. : 1922 - 1924 During the Prussian-Austrian War of 1866, in which Saxony fought on Austria's side, diplomatic relations broke off again. In June of this year, the Prussian envoy returned to Berlin, the files of the legation archive were taken to Berlin. After the peace agreement between Prussia and Saxony in October 1866, another envoy was appointed in Dresden. After 1918, the Prussian envoy in Dresden was responsible for the whole of northern Germany, to the extent that there were still diplomatic relations within Germany. On March 31, 1924, the legation was dissolved as part of general cost-cutting measures. History of the collection In addition to political correspondence with reports of the legation to the Prussian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its decrees on all international and national events, the collection also includes files on a wide variety of interstate issues in Prussia's political, police-legal, military, cultural-social and economic relations with Saxony, in particular on the economic and political unification of Germany and on relations with other states. The files were transferred from the Prussian Ministry of Foreign Affairs to the Secret State Archives in several deliveries between 1814 and 1939. For distortion, the file titles were checked, corrected if necessary and deepened with "Contains - Notes". The file group "Political Correspondence" is an exception. Here the concise title of the file - analogous to the depth of indexing of these archival documents in the other legacy documents - was left and not further intensively indexed on the basis of the diverse information in the individual correspondence. The correspondence files were sorted by place and in chronological order. In the case of collective files, the files were sorted by the first place listed. Indexing was based on the information given in the volume. In 2005, the decision was made to increase the total holdings I. HA Rep. 81 embassies (resident offices) and (general) consulates after 1807 as individual holdings of the various embassies etc. in conformity with Provenance, so that the existing archival documents can now be placed under the heading I. HA Rep. 81 Legation Dresden after 1807.
