History of the Inventor: The Act of 29 March 1935 on the Regulation of Public Land Requirements (Gesetz über die Regeung des Landbedarfs der öffentlichen Hand) (1) issued by the Reich Ministry of Food and Drink (Reichsernährungsministerium) established an Imperial Authority which, with the Führer Decree of 26 June 1935, was to assume the role of "Reich Office for Spatial Planning (RfR)" (Reichsstelle für Raumordnung) "for the entire territory of the Reich"(2). The expansion of planning to the Reich and state level led to the separation of spatial planning from local political sovereignty. "In agreement with the Reich and Prussian Ministers of Labor, the head of the Reich Office for Spatial Planning shall in particular regulate the organization of the planning associations and supervise them. (3) The RfR with its seat in Berlin, as the supreme Reich authority, was directly subordinate to the Führer and Reich Chancellor and, in fulfilling its tasks, made use of the Society for the Preparation of Reich Planning and Regional Planning (Gezuvor) (4), later known as the Reichsplanungsgemeinschaft e.V. (Reich Planning Association). (RPG). Head of the RfR and President of the RPG was the Reich Minister and Prussian State Minister Hanns Kerrl, who also headed the Reich Ministry for Church Affairs (RKM) in personal union. After his death in 1941, Hermann Muhs, until then State Secretary in the Reich Ministry for Church Affairs, took over the management of the official business. Due to close personal and organizational ties, the Reichsplanungsgemeinschaft appeared in the business distribution plan of the RfR from June 1937. Both as members of an organization in which the Reich Office for Spatial Planning was assigned the task of "administration", the Reich Planning Community the task of "design". The business distribution plan named two registries which served both offices according to the subject area. (5) The joint budget for the financial year 1937 stated: "Since the fields of activity of the RfR and the RPG overlap in many respects, there has been no complete administrative and budgetary separation between the RfR and the RPG, either in terms of the specific nature of the tasks to be performed or in terms of the appropriate use of all manpower. (6) Kerrls Erste Verordnung zur Durchführung der Reichs- und Landesplanung vom 15. Februar 1936(7) contains the regulations on the organization of subordinate agencies. The organic structure of the regional planning administration should correspond to the dual task of Nazi regional planning - political leadership on the one hand and coordination of all spatially relevant issues on the other. The Reich Office for Spatial Planning was established as an "organ of state and party, and it must be emphasized in particular that its competence is not limited to regulatory work in relation to agriculture, housing and industry, but that it is also co-determinative in the requirements of terrain for the public sector". (8) In organisational terms, a distinction was made between planning authorities and state planning associations. The former were the governors of the Reich and the presidents of Prussia. They supervised the state planning communities and had the task of enforcing the guidelines issued by the central office. They were able to arrange for an annual audit of the accounts and approve the relevant budget. The actual planning work was carried out by the regional planning associations, of which 22 were established throughout the country and whose number increased to 33 by 1941 as a result of the annexations that began in 1938. (9) Its members consisted of rural and urban districts, Reich and Land authorities, self-governing bodies, the administrations of professional organisations and the scientific institutions appointed to promote Reich and Land planning. The managing directors were the state planners. The statutes of the Landesplanungsgemeinschaften were based on the model statutes issued by the head of the Reich Office. Hanns Kerrl had set this up in order to maintain uniformity within the organisation. The statutes provided for the head of the planning authority as chairman and also ensured a close link between the planning communities and planning authorities in the further administrative substructure. According to the model scale of contributions, costs were borne in the following proportions: 51% was borne by the Reich, the remainder was borne equally by the member groups "self-government" (e.g. provincial associations, urban and rural districts) and "economy" (e.g. German Labour Front, Reichsnährstand, Chambers of Industry and Commerce). (10) The Landesplanungsgemeinschaften were treated as public corporations. (11) The services of the State, local authorities and professional organisations were required to provide administrative and administrative assistance to planning authorities and associations. Created as a management and coordination body for territorial planning in the entire territory of the Reich, the RfR was first to "ensure that the German area was shaped in a manner appropriate to the needs of the people and the state". (12) In addition to civilian settlement planning and management, the armament programme also dealt with the location distribution of military installations and traffic routes. Nevertheless, the decisive plans were ultimately drawn up by the Wehrmacht, the Reich Ministry of Economics and the four-year plan officers. (13) The Reich Office had practically no decision-making powers and could only veto them in individual cases. Its activities were thus limited to administrative supervision of regional planning authorities, state planning associations and the Reichsarbeitsgemeinschaft für Raumforschung, which directed and coordinated research results on questions of territorial planning. In cooperation with the Reich Minister for Science, Education and People's Education, "the faculties of all German universities were called upon in the largest form to cooperate". (14) With the help of the scientific universities, expert opinions were developed on issues of emergency and conurbation rehabilitation in the pre-war period, with the focus after the outbreak of war also on the integrated eastern regions. As the central control authority, however, the Reich Office for Spatial Planning gradually lost its authority, at the latest at the time of the intensive work of the office of the Reich Commissioner for the Consolidation of the German People, created under Heinrich Himmler, in shaping the "living space in the East". (15) The ban of all post-war planning imposed by Hitler during the war led to the cessation of the actual professional activity. The personnel of the RfR (16) was increasingly reduced. The exemptions from military service required by the planning institutions were no longer granted after the defeat of Stalingrad. On 6 February 1943, the head of the Reich Chancellery, Dr. Lammers, informed the Supreme Reich Authorities that the Reich Office would now only administer its documents and provide information on request. (17) For reasons of air-raid protection, the documents were transferred to Wittenberg in 1943/44 together with those of the Reichsarbeitsgemeinschaft für Raumforschung and parts of the Reich Ministry for Church Affairs.

After they had been reviewed, part of these documents were sent in 1947 to the Department of Housing, Urban Planning and Regional Planning of the Central Office of the Labour Department of the British Occupation Zone in Lemgo. After the dissolution of the head office, the maps, files and books were first forwarded to the local tax office and finally requested by the Federal Ministry of Housing. Another much larger part went to the Berlin Main Office for Overall Planning of the West Berlin Magistrate, including personnel files, and was finally handed over to the Berlin branch of the Institute for Spatial Research (Bad Godesberg). The transfer to the Berlin main archive, which had been responsible for official files since 1946 (since 1963 again Secret State Archive), took place in 1959, where the indexing began under the signature Rep.325. In 1962 2295 maps and plans as well as 1717 files in the form of a card index were listed. A mixed collection returned from the USA in April 1962 contained 15 volumes of RfR files, which were combined with the archival records in the main archive. In the course of the exchange of archival records in 1969, the Secret State Archives transferred to the Federal Archives not only the files but also the entire map section of the RfR, which was stored in Koblenz in 1971. On the basis of the first file indexing carried out in the Secret State Archives, the new indexing of the files began in 1987 in the Federal Archives under the inventory signature R 113. A first finding aid book for the approx. 2400 files has been available since 1990. The merger of Koblenz and Potsdam files in the Federal Archives in Berlin-Lichterfelde was completed in 1993. The latter, mainly newspaper clippings, printed publications, and annual and working reports, had been handed over to the German Central Archive in Potsdam by the Magdeburg State Archives in 1957 and by the Wittenberg District Council in 1963. During the database-supported recording of the stock a revision of file titles and classification took place, whereby based on the finding aid book from the year 1990 however it was renounced to sift each of the altogether more than 3000 file volumes again. The majority of series and tape sequences were archived. The map holdings held in Koblenz were not taken into account here. For data protection reasons, the personnel files available in portfolio R113 are not shown in the online find book. Requests in this respect should be addressed directly to the relevant Unit R 3. Characterisation of content: The general organisation and working methods of the Reich Office for Spatial Planning and its branches are documented in the files of the office administration and planning authorities. The traditions of the individual regional planning communities provide an insight into concrete tasks, procedures and areas of activity. The focus here is on documents relating to various economic sectors. The intention to incorporate scientific aspects of spatial research into regional economic and social structures is illustrated, among other things, by the files of the Reichsarbeitsgemeinschaft für Raumforschung and the Deutsche Akademie für Städtebau. Ultimately, the collection contains material collections from the archive and the press office, most of which consist of newspaper clippings and printed matter. Supplementary records are the R 164 Reichsarbeitsgemeinschaft für Raumordnung and the RfR map collection (R 113 Kart) in the Federal Archives in Koblenz.

History of the Inventory Designer: On the basis of the Ordinance on the Trading of Goods of 4 September 1934, some 30 monitoring agencies were set up for all wichti‧gen areas of trade and industry to monitor the trading of goods on the internal market and to monitor, control and distribute the import of raw materials as subordinate offices of the Reich Ministry of Economics (cf. Inventory R 3101). Each monitoring agency became a legal entity with its establishment and was subject to a Reich commissioner appointed and obliged by the Reich Minister of Economics. The Reich commissioners were entitled to issue ordinances of a prescriptive nature, which were published in the Reichsanzeiger. Since 18 Aug. 1939 (RGBl. I 1429 and RAnz. Nr. 192) the previous monitoring stations were uniformly called Reichsstellen. In the eleven years of their existence, the tasks of the monitoring and Reich offices in general and the matters assigned to them in detail for their perception repeatedly changed for various reasons. The practical effects associated with the introduction of the term "control area" in 1942 were considerable, since from now on more than before the organization of the commercial economy (Reich industrial group, its economic groups and their subdivisions), the Reich associations and communities were entrusted with more or less large tasks within the framework of the economic administration of the Reich's commission next to or with the Reich offices, occasionally even with the status of Reich office. The most far-reaching consequences were the transfer of all war-related production tasks from the Reich Ministry of Economics to the Reich Ministry of Armaments and War Production in the autumn of 1943. The latter built up its own, largely new organization to such an extent that the system of Reich offices was largely undermined. The Reichsstelle was wound up after 1945. Inventory description: Inventory history The files of all Reichsstellen were probably still complete until mid-1941. Only the decree of the Reich Minister of Economics of 31.05.1941 allowed a total destruction of files at the Reich offices after five years. Obviously, this was used as soon as possible and on an ongoing basis to the greatest extent, since transactions from the early years hardly survived. Content characterisation: The focus is on foreign reports, documents on import loss compensation and audit reports from companies and national economic offices.

History of the Inventory Designer: History After the foundation of the Reich in 1871, the creation of a common railway administration for all German states was not initially on the agenda. The southern German states feared the overweight of Prussia and finally rejected Bismarck's rich railroad law of 1875. Only the railway lines in Alsace and Lorraine, which were separated from France, were subject to the Imperial Chancellor since 1871. For the railway system in Germany the network of the Alsace-Lorraine Railways (besides 7 state administrations at that time) existed as the only state administration until the transfer of the state railway administrations of the Länder into the possession of the Reich. This railway network consisted of the parts of the French Ostbahn assigned to the German Reich on the basis of the Frankfurt Peace Treaty of 10 May 1871 and the lines of the Wilhelm-Luxemburg-Eisenbahnen taken over on a lease basis by the State Treaty of 11 June 1872 with the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. The newly formed "Kaiserliche Generaldirektion der Reichseisenbahnen in Elsass-Lothringen" had been established for this purpose by the Most High Decree of 9 December 1871 with the powers and duties of a public authority. At first it was directly subordinated to the Reich Chancellery (Department III for Alsace-Lorraine). Until the French occupation of Alsace-Lorraine in November 1918, it was also the focal point of operations and administration. For the development of transport in Alsace-Lorraine, in addition to the special traffic situation on the Upper Rhine road and the Burgundy Gate, the development of industry was of importance. While originally the textile industry in the area of Mulhouse stood in the first place, the German heavy industry, which shifted to Lorraine and Luxembourg, came more and more into the foreground, in addition the potash works in the Upper Alsace, which developed on a coincidental discovery, and the not very important but in Germany at that time almost only petroleum extraction near Pechelbronn. In the interests of smooth cooperation between transport operators and production units, a "Railway Committee" was set up on 1 October 1874, composed of representatives of chambers of commerce, industry and agriculture. This first Railway Committee later became the model for the Railway Councils affiliated to the other German State Railway Administrations. The Directorate-General also broke new ground on the question of tariffs by creating the so-called wagon room tariff. The inauguration of the first railways in Alsace-Lorraine, the Strasbourg - Basel line, took place on 19 and 20 September 1841. Thirty years later, when the Alsace-Lorraine Railways were taken over by the German Reich, the length of the line was 768.21 km, plus 174.54 km of the Wilhelm-Luxemburg Railway Company. Under German administration more than 1200 km were added. From a technical point of view, the railways were regarded as model installations in every respect: the transhipment facilities between railways and inland waterways were brought to the highest level of technical efficiency; the stations in Strasbourg and Metz were converted from small provincial stations into metropolitan stations with all the requirements of modern times. Net revenues in 1872 amounted to more than 5 million Marks, increased to 20 million Marks in 1890, 86 million Marks in 1900 and 153 million Marks in 1913, the last year of peace. On 27 May 1878, the Imperial Decree established the Reichsamt für die Verwaltung der Reichseisenbahnen in Berlin. It was a central authority under the direct authority of the Imperial Chancellor to manage the administration of the railways in Alsace-Lorraine and the neighbouring regions. The General Directorate of the Reichseisenbahnen in Alsace-Lorraine was now subordinated to the Reichsamt für die Verwaltung der Reichseisenbahnen, which acted as the state supervisory authority. The respective Prussian Minister of Public Works was entrusted with the management of the authority. First head of the Reich Office was State Minister Albert von Maybach (1822-1904), later Karl von Thielen (1832-1906) followed from June 1891, Hermann von Budde (1851-1906) from June 1902 and Paul von Breitenbach (1850-1930) from 1906. Direct management was the responsibility of the Directorate-General for Railways in Alsace-Lorraine, based in Strasbourg. Until 1 October 1909 it consisted of three departments: Division 1 for Operations, Division 2 for Construction, Division 3 for Transport and General Administration. To this end, the company management, traffic inspections, machine inspections, workshop inspections and a telegraph inspection managed the various branches of the company and traffic, while the central technical offices (the technical office, the construction office, the mechanical office and the materials office) independently handled a number of general transactions falling within the scope of the central administration. On 1 October 1909, a reorganisation came into force, the importance of which lay essentially in the removal of the operational directorates without replacement and the abolition of the central offices and the telegraph inspection, whose business was now handled by the Directorate-General itself. At the same time, the number of departments increased to 5: Department 1 for General Administration, Finance and Budgeting, Department 2 for Operations, Department 3 for Transportation, Department 4 for Construction, Department 5 for Machinery and Workshops. The 17 operational inspections in Alsace-Lorraine and 3 operational inspections in Luxembourg were directly carried out by the Directorate-General. The Executive Board of the German operations administration in Luxembourg was the superior authority for all departments of the district. There were 8 traffic inspections in Basel, Mulhouse, Colmar, Strasbourg, Saargemünd, Metz, Diedenhofen and Luxembourg. The traffic inspector in Basel also held the post of representative of the German administration vis-à-vis Switzerland. There were 6 machine inspections: in Mulhouse, Strasbourg, Saargemünd, Metz, Diedenhofen and Luxembourg. The main workshops were in Mulhouse, Bischheim near Strasbourg, Montigny near Metz and Niederjeutz near Diedenhofen. They were subject to the workshop inspections in Bischheim and Montigny two each (for locomotive construction and for carriage construction one each). Secondary workshops subject to machine inspections were located in Saargemünd and Luxembourg. Since 1911, all inspections have been called Offices, Plant Office, Machine Office, etc.). The incorporation of the Prussian Minister of Public Works into the administrative organization of the Reich strengthened the influence of the head of the Prussian State Railways over the heads of the other federal railway administrations and reduced the importance of the Reich Railway Office for issues related to national defence. 7 After the assignment of Alsace-Lorraine to France as a result of the Treaty of Versailles, the Reich Ministry of Transport took over the Reich Office's execution tasks in the autumn of 1919. The source value of the files taken over from the General Directorate in Strasbourg was described by the Reichsarchiv as "sufficient" at the time. "Apart from some historically interesting details from the recent times of Emperor Wilhelm I and Prince Bismarck, their value for the history of the German Empire lies in the... 9 Reference should be made to the peculiarities of Alsace-Lorraine's traffic situation at the intersection of important north-south and east-west connections and the resulting tradition of archival sources. The files contain documents from negotiations on the construction of major Alpine passes (Gotthard Railway, Eastern Alpine Railway, Simplon Railway), traffic between England, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Italy, traffic between the Balkan states, Austria-Hungary and the southern German administrations on the one hand and France and Spain on the other. Further documents are available on construction and engineering, operational services, passenger, baggage and freight traffic. A comprehensive component reflects the collective bargaining system, including social aspects taking into account foreign language problems. Measures against espionage, sabotage and agent activity, also persecution of political opponents are recorded in the "Secret Acts A and B", statements on military facts, especially the mobilization, the war 1914/18, the armistice and the peace negotiations can be found in the "Secret Acts M". Inventory description: Inventory history The files of the Directorate-General of the Reichseisenbahnen in Strasbourg have been transferred to France. A few files from the former Central State Archives in Potsdam are in the inventory R 4202 General Directorate of the Reich Railways in Alsace-Lorraine in the Federal Archives. The files of the Reichsamt for the administration of the Reichseisenbahnen were offered to the Reichsarchiv for takeover in autumn 1931. From the entire file stock of about 4000 volumes, 1313 volumes were transferred to the Reichsarchiv for permanent storage in accordance with the then existing regulations. Obviously, there were no war losses. Archival evaluation and processing The files of the Reich Office for the Administration of the Reich Railways taken over by the Reichsarchiv were arranged, listed and recorded on index cards in 1932, followed by a finding aid book for the holdings (today: R 4201). In 2008, the inventory was recorded in the BASYS-S database of the Federal Archives on the basis of the find book available from 1932. This was done by entering the data into the BASYS-S database of the Federal Archives for the purpose of making the search results available online. The intensive index data were taken over for the most part original with the abbreviations used at that time. Only the numerical archive signatures were retained for the indexing; for found files with volume numbering (e.g. 154 a), each volume received a new archive signature. This concerned all files with the now new archive signature R 4201/729 to R 4201/1430. The previous signatures were listed as old signatures, the files themselves were re-signed in 2008 in the course of an inventory revision and magazine-technical work. Content: Organization and administration of the Reichsamt 1870-1920 (186), budget and cash administration 1870-1921(386), personnel matters: Civil servant matters 1871-1920 (385), special personnel matters (secret files B) 1872-1919 (13), building and construction 1864-1919 (152), operational services 1871-1918 (86), passenger and baggage traffic 1871-1918 (21), freight traffic 1871-1919 (169), collective bargaining 1871-1919 (145), Measures against espionage, sabotage and agent activity, also persecution of political opponents (secret files A) 1881-1919 (14), mobilization, war, armistice, peace negotiations (secret files M) 1872-1920 (93) Online Findbuch (2009) In total, the holdings in the Federal Archives include 1430 files. Together with the holdings of the Reichseisenbahnamt (R 4101) and the Generaldirektion der Eisenbahnen in Elsass-Lothringen (R 4202), a rather complete set of files exists for the early period of traffic organisation in the railway age in Germany - regardless of its correspondence with the files of the Prussian Ministry of Public Works, which are located in the Prussian Secret State Archives in Berlin-Dahlem, and the large number of archival sources on railway history in the archives of the Länder, districts and cities. The source value of the files taken over from the General Directorate in Strasbourg was described by the Reichsarchiv as "sufficient" at the time. Apart from some historically interesting details from the recent time of Emperor Wilhelm I. and Prince Bismarck, their value for the history of the German Empire [lies] in the... that at the Reichsamt almost all the questions that the Prussian Ministry of Public Works had to deal with were reflected in a more concise and concise form. Reference should be made to the special features of Alsace-Lorraine's traffic situation at the intersection of important north-south and east-west connections and the resulting tradition of archival sources. The files contain documents from negotiations on the construction of major Alpine passes (Gotthard Railway, Eastern Alpine Railway, Simplon Railway), traffic between England, Belgium, the Netherlands, Switzerland and Italy, traffic between the Balkan states, Austria-Hungary and the southern German administrations on the one hand and France and Spain on the other. Further documents are available on construction and engineering, operational services, passenger, baggage and freight traffic. A comprehensive component reflects the collective bargaining system, including social aspects taking into account foreign language problems. Measures against espionage, sabotage and agent activity, also persecution of political opponents are recorded in the "Secret Acts A and B", statements on military facts, especially the mobilization, the war 1914/18, the armistice and the peace negotiations can be found in the "Secret Acts M". Supplementary traditions Further traditions include the inventories R 4101 Reichseisenbahnamt and R 4202 Generaldirektion der Eisenbahnen in Elsass-Lothringen. The Secret State Archives of Prussian Cultural Heritage in Berlin contain the files of the Prussian Ministry of Public Works (holdings I. HA Rep. 93 B Ministry of Public Works).

History of the Inventor: Tasks and Organisation The departments and authorities responsible for accident insurance can be divided into two main groups: the employers' liability insurance associations (including maritime funds) and the implementing authorities. The Berufsgenossenschaften, (in 1933 102 BGs in the Reich territory), were responsible for the commercial enterprises and branches of the profession, responsible for the enterprises and offices of the Reich, the Länder or also the municipalities, including overlaps of competence, were according to § 892 of the Reichsversicherungsverordnung the implementing authorities (193 in the number in 1933). The tasks included accident prevention, compensation in the event of disability or loss of the breadwinner, and compensation for the consequences of accidents. However, the latter two tasks could be transferred to the competent health insurance fund if the person concerned was covered by health insurance. Under certain circumstances, the employment offices could also be involved in cases of retraining or job placement. In addition, it was the responsibility of the RafU to investigate any accidents that occurred and, if necessary, to take decisions on the payment of compensation on the basis of medical reports and expert opinions. The Reich Executive Authority for Accident Insurance (RafU) was constituted on 8 April 1921 by a decree of the Reich Minister of Labour. (1) After the First World War it was to replace the military administrative authorities and the shipyard administrations of the Navy in the field of accident insurance. This merger of the former accident departments avoided the establishment of new implementing authorities required by § 892 Reichsversicherungsordnung (RVO) in each department. This resulted in considerable savings in personnel and costs. previous authorities were: - Accident Departments of the Former Settlement Directorates of the Military Institutes in Berlin and Munich - Settlement Directorates of the Former XII. Army Corps in Dresden and the former XIIIth Army Corps in Stuttgart - Executing Authority of the Navy Shipyard in Wilhelmshaven. The authority was designated as the implementing authority for the enterprises belonging to the portfolio of the Reich Minister of the Interior, the Reich Minister of the Treasury and the Reich Minister of Labour for which the Reich is the carrier of accident insurance. The RafU, based in Berlin, belonged under the supervision of the Reich Insurance Office to the portfolio of the Reich Minister of Labour. Dr. Walter Rehdans (2), who had previously worked for the Imperial Treasury, took over the management of the government. After the authority was initially able to assert itself in competence disputes against the executing authority of the Wilhelmshaven naval shipyard, among others, its existence failed already in the second year due to a lack of financial resources. With effect from 19 September 1922, its tasks were transferred to the Hauptversicherungsamt Berlin as the executing authority for Reich operations in accordance with § 892 of the RVO. From 20 September 1923, the Versorgungsamt I in Berlin acted as the implementing authority for accident insurance. The responsibility remained here until the end of 1939. With effect from 1 January 1940, a separate "Reich Executing Authority for Accident Insurance" was again created, which was subordinated to the Reich Insurance Office. The management took over Dr. Günther Werk (*13.7.1902) (3). In April 1941, due to the territorial expansion of the German Reich, several branch offices were established. These were located in Vienna, responsible for Vienna, Upper and Lower Danube, in Graz, responsible for Styria and Carinthia, in Innsbruck, responsible for Salzburg and Tyrol, and in Reichenberg, responsible for the Sudetenland.

The files of the central department remaining in Berlin are also considered a loss during the war. After 1945, only a small remnant of the official files and personnel documents, together with some accident files of the RafU and the Versorgungsamt I Berlin, were sent to the executive authority for the British zone in Wilhelmshaven. In June 1977, the remaining files of the RafU and its predecessor and successor organisations (until 1945) were finally handed over to the Federal Archives by the Federal Executive Authority for Accident Insurance in Wilhelmshaven. Content characterization: The title was recorded according to numerus currens. The classification was then made into service, accident and personnel files. The service files were subdivided as follows: - Organisation, official decrees - Provisions on accident insurance and accident prevention - Accident insurance in individual services and companies - Accident insurance in occupied and integrated areas - Accident insurance in special cases The accident and personnel files were arranged alphabetically. In deviation from the RafU's list of duties, a number of objectively related units of registration have been combined into a new volume for each duty record. Both the accident and personnel files were kept beyond the 1945 caesura (personnel files 1902-1969, accident files 1905-1948). The tradition of the service records concentrates on the 1920s to 1940s. During the first processing, printed matter, such as a series of naval decree sheets, was handed over to the official printed matter collection of the Federal Archives.

History of the Inventory Designer: The Constitution of the German Reich of 16 April 1871, as well as the Constitution of the North German Confederation of 1867, contained no more detailed provisions on the design of the Reich Administration. Only the Reich Chancellor was the only responsible minister of the German Reich with constitutional rank. How he should fulfil his duties and tasks, on the other hand, remained largely undefined and left to the concrete will of the respective office holder. Because of this constitutional indeterminacy, the Reich level of the administration of the German Empire was bound to the character of the improvised and sometimes also the unstable until the end of the German Empire. At first it actually seemed as if Bismarck, as the only minister of the Reich, wanted to work with only one central, unified administrative authority. The Federal Chancellery, on whose organisation its later President Rudolf Delbrück had exerted considerable influence, began its work in 1867 as the office of the Federal Chancellor and was continued in the expansion of the North German Confederation into the German Reich under the name of the Reich Chancellery. The responsibilities of the Office were comprehensive and included the function of an office for the standing committees of the Federal Council, the handling of the revenues and expenditures of the Confederation and the preparation of the presidential bills. With the foundation of the German Reich, the Imperial Chancellery also took over the direct administration of the Reichsland Alsace-Lorraine and the Reichseisenbahnen. Karl Hofmann, the President of the Reich Chancellery, was instructed by decree of 6 August 1877 to prepare for the creation of a special office which would take care of all the affairs of the Reich Chancellor for which he had "previously used forces of the Foreign Office for spatial reasons". Hofmann's submission of 29 Nov. 1877 then also provided for the establishment of such a central office under the designation "Special Office of the Reich Chancellor", but placed this office in the budget of the Reich Chancellery. However, Hofmann did not succeed in this attempt to fortify the position of his office again. Although Bismarck agreed with Hofmann's proposals concerning the internal organisation and salary classification of the staff in his new office, he changed the name of the new post to "Centralbureau" on the basis of his own hand. More important than this change in the nomenclature, however, was the fact that Bismarck, by decree of 16 December 1877, called on Hofmann to draw up a special budget for an independent authority not incorporated into the Imperial Chancellery. The draft of a "Budget for the Imperial Chancellor and his Central Office for the Budget Year 1878/79" provided funds for the salaries of a speaking council, an expediting secretary, a clerical secretary and a clerical servant. The new authority was to take its seat in the former Palais Radziwill in Wilhelmstraße 77; the Imperial Chancellor was also to move into an official residence there. Bismarck requested with Immediatbericht of 16 May 1878 from Wilhelm I. the permission for the constitution of the new office, which should be called Reich Chancellery, because this designation might correspond "most exactly to the position and the tasks of the same". Christoph von Tiedemann, who had been Bismarck's closest collaborator since 1876 and was therefore familiar with the habits of the Reich Chancellor to the best of his ability, became head of the Reich Chancellery. Under his leadership, the Reich Chancellery actually developed into a political relay station in the centre of the political decision-making structure, whose function was also recognised by the State Secretaries of the Reich Offices. Under constitutional law, the Reich Chancellery was never more than the office of the Reich Chancellor, which "had to mediate the official dealings of the latter with the heads of the individual departments". The office character is expressed not least in the official rank of the head of the Reich Chancellery and the very limited staff until the end of the imperial era. It was not until 1907 that the head of the Reich Chancellery was elevated to the rank of Undersecretary of State and thus placed on an equal footing with the senior officials of the Reich Offices. Although the number of employees grew from originally four in 1878 to 19 in 1908 and continued to rise to 25 in 1918 due to the requirements of the First World War, the Reich Chancellery never even came close to the number of staff of a Reich Office. The private and representative affairs of the Reich Chancellor were handled by the special office of the Reich Chancellor, which continued to reside in the Foreign Office even after the establishment of the Reich Chancellery. With the beginning of the First World War, a joint branch office of the Reich Chancellery and the Foreign Office was established at the Great Headquarters under the name "Formation Reichskanzler und Auswärtiges Amt". This branch existed until the end of the war. A permanent representative was here to represent the interests of the Reich Chancellor when he was in Berlin. In the Reich Chancellery, on the other hand, the Undersecretary of State ran the business if the Reich Chancellor was in the headquarters. In February 1917 a permanent representative of the Reich Chancellor was installed at the Supreme Army Command in order to get a better grip on the continuing disagreements between Reich Chancellor Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg and the 3rd Supreme Army Command under Paul von Hindenburg and Erich Ludendorff. His task was to keep the Supreme Army Command constantly informed about the policy of the Reich Administration. With the forced abdication of Emperor Wilhelm II and the resignation of Reich Chancellor Max von Baden, business was transferred to the Council of People's Representatives on 11 Nov. 1918, which temporarily exercised the function of an imperial government until the government of Philipp Scheidemann took office on 19 February 1919. From 9 November 1918 to 3 March 1919, the head of the Reich Chancellery was the journalist Curt Baake. After the Weimar parliamentary democracy was established, the position of the Reich Chancellor also changed, as did that of the Reich Chancellery. While the Imperial Chancellor was no longer the only Imperial Minister, as he was in the Empire, he, as Chairman of the Imperial Government, determined the political guidelines in accordance with Articles 55 and 56 of the Imperial Constitution, through which he was able to exert a decisive influence on the fate of the Empire. His authority to issue directives was, of course, restricted by constitutional law and political practice to a considerable extent, for it had to be brought into line politically with the powers of other organs provided for in the Reich Constitution. These were less the Reichsrat, which as a permanent conference of delegates of the state governments had only limited powers in the field of legislation and administration and whose significance cannot be compared with that of the Bundesrat of the Kaiserreich, than the other two constitutional organs: Reichstag and Reichspräsident. With the change of the position of the Reich Chancellor in the Weimar Republic, the tasks of the Reich Chancellery also increased. The Reich Chancellery remained, as in the imperial period, the office of the Reich Chancellor for his dealings with the constitutional organs, now the Reich President, the Reichstag, the Reich Council and the individual Reich Ministers. The State Secretary in the Reich Chancellery took part in the cabinet meetings, informed the Reich Chancellor about the current fundamental issues of politics as a whole, accompanied him at all important conferences in Germany and abroad, observed the formation of opinion in parliament, the press, coordinated legislative work with the Reich parties on his behalf, and gave a lecture to the Reich Chancellor himself. The Reich Chancellery was also represented by a member in the above-mentioned intergroup meetings, in which the most important decisions of the Cabinet were discussed in advance with the party and parliamentary group leaders. She made sure that, despite the constant tensions in the constantly changing coalitions, the objective work of the Reich's departments continued. he preparation of the collegiate decisions and the reliable monitoring of their implementation, two of the Reich Chancellery's main tasks, was of particular importance in this respect. The necessary consequence of these increased tasks was an increase in the number of departments in the Reich Chancellery from three (as of 1910) to eight (as of 1927) and in the number of civil servants from 20 before the outbreak of the First World War. Formally, the Reich Chancellery had various offices attached to it, which were either directly subordinated to it, such as the Reich Headquarters for Homeland Service, or under the direct control of the Reich Chancellor. When, after the death of the Reich President von Hindenburg, the Reich Chancellor took over the powers and rights of the head of state of the German Reich by the Law of August 1, 1934 - including the supreme command of the Wehrmacht - and thus united the office of Reich President with the office of Reich Chancellor in his person, this also had an effect on his relationship with the Reich government. As head of state, Hitler had the right to appoint and dismiss the Reich Ministers without having to wait for the proposal of the Reich Chancellor, as the Reich President had done. The Reichsminister were therefore completely dependent on him. According to the Reich Law of 16 October 1934 on the Oath of the Reich Ministers and Members of the State Governments, the formula of which was later also incorporated into the German Civil Servants Law of 26 January 1937, they were obliged to loyalty and obedience to him. The Führer principle of the NSDAP now also applied to the Reich government, whose members the "Führer und Reichskanzler," as Hitler was called after the decree to the Reich Minister of the Interior of August 2, 1934, only had to advise in inner-German dealings, but were now also legally obliged to submit to his will in case of a dissenting opinion. This meant that the Reichskabinett was no longer a decision-making body in which the Reich Chancellor could possibly have been majorized, but rather a "Führerrat", which only had to advise the head of government. It was planned to also fix this changed position of the Reich Chancellor vis-à-vis the Reich government in law, an intention which, at Hitler's request, was postponed in the cabinet meeting of 26 January 1937, particularly with regard to foreign countries, until the creation of a new Basic Law. The above-mentioned concentration of state tasks on the Führer and Reich Chancellor naturally also had an effect on the responsibilities of the Reich Chancellery. Thus, for example, the Enabling Act already brought about a certain increase in tasks for them, because the laws passed by the Reich government were no longer to be drawn up and promulgated by the Reich President, but by the Reich Chancellor, and the fewest laws were still passed in the ordinary legislative process, through the Reichstag, but went the second legislative process described above, or were passed as Führer decrees or ordinances - without the participation of the Cabinet. The strengthened position of the head of the Reich Chancellery was conspicuous externally in the fact that the documents of government laws signed by Hitler and co-signed by the participating Reich Minister now always also bore the co-signature of the Reich Minister and head of the Reich Chancellery, who thus assumed responsibility for the proper course of the legislative process. After the establishment of the Council of Ministers for the Defence of the Reich at the end of August 1939, the signature of the Chairman of the Council of Ministers for the Defence of the Reich was also necessary in second place behind that of Hitler. In addition, the head of the Reich Chancellery also signed all the Führer decrees with legislative content and, if necessary - which never occurred - the Reichstag laws and the laws enacted on the basis of the "Volksgesetzgebung" (People's Legislation). The increasing workload of Hitler, who in addition to the powers of the Reich Chancellor and the Reich President also exercised supreme command over the Wehrmacht, meant that the cabinet meetings gradually ceased. In addition, the Reich Chancellor, who could no longer be informed by the Reich Ministers united in the cabinet about the completion of individual tasks in the departments, was increasingly dependent on information from the head of the Reich Chancellery. The task of selecting from the wealth of information supplied and processed those suitable for presentation to the Reich Chancellor and of deciding whether Hitler's intervention in certain matters appeared necessary was therefore the responsibility of the head of the Reich Chancellery, who granted him another key position in the leadership apparatus of the state civilian sector. The Reichsminister also had the opportunity to give individual lectures directly to the Reich Chancellor. But Hitler also made less and less use of this, so that the head of the Reich Chancellery practically advised him alone, which strengthened his position vis-à-vis the specialist ministers, who tried in vain to reach certain agreements among themselves through private meetings, especially towards the end of the war. The office of the Reich President, renamed "Präsidialkanzlei" and renamed "Präsidialkanzlei des Führers und Reichskanzlers" by decree of the Führer and Reich Chancellor of 1 December 1937, remained responsible for the handling of all matters concerning the head of state even after the merger of the offices of the Reich President and the Reich Chancellor.B. the preparation of ceremonial receptions of foreign heads of state, princes and statesmen, the receipt of letters of attestation and recall from foreign diplomats, congratulations and condolences from the head of state, the processing of petitions in matters of grace and the entire title and religious order system. On the other hand, the political affairs in which, in addition to the decision of the Reich government, the decision of the head of the Reich was also necessary, were now taken care of by the Reich Chancellery, as was the preparation of political decisions, which up to then had to be made by the head of state, such as the enactment of organizational decrees, which were now the sole responsibility of the Reich Chancellery. Although the documents of appointment and dismissal for the higher Reich officials were still to be submitted to Hitler for execution by the office of the head of state, i.e. now by the head of the presidential chancellery, the responsible ministers and the Reich Chancellery were responsible for the factual and political preparation. Inventory description: Inventory history The day after the Reich Chancellery was established, on 19 May 1878, the expediting secretary in the Foreign Office, Hans Rudolf Sachse, who shortly afterwards began his service as a registrar in the new Reich authority, presented the draft of a registry order for the Reich Chancellery to the lecturing council of Tiedemann. His "basic features for the book and file keeping at the Reich Chancellery" were obviously based on the experience of the Foreign Office's records administration. The records were initially stored loosely in shelves in the registry, probably lying from the outset in the provided and already inscribed file covers. If a file unit had reached a thickness of 2 - 3 cm, it was provided with a linen back and another dust jacket and formed into a tape by means of thread stitching. This organisation of written records proved to be sufficient and practicable for a long series of years. With the gradual further development of the functions and activities of the Reich Chancellery, and as a result of the development of constitutional law and administrative organization in the Reich and in the federal states, however, it had to appear in need of change over time. At the turn of the century it was therefore decided to introduce a more differentiated file system, which came into force on 1 January 1900. The state's new beginning on 13 February 1919, the day on which Cabinet Scheidemann took office, brought a continuous cut in the registry of the Reich Chancellery. The entire file inventory was transferred to the old filing system and new files were created. The 30th of January meant a noticeable, but not sharp cut in the records administration of the Reich Chancellery. In order to start a new filing layer on this day, numerous files were removed from the current filing system, stapled and repositioned in the old filing system. They were replaced by new volumes. However, this only happened if the running band was filled to some extent anyway; if this was not the case, it was continued. In any case, the band counting began again with the number 1, although the series from the Weimar period continued seamlessly. The file structure, however, was left unchanged, and thread-stitching generally remained the same; standing files were used for the first time only for newly created series. In addition to the files kept in the registry, other records were also handed down by the fact that the Reich Chancellors and senior officials of the Reich Chancellery did not have handwritten records, personal papers, and a large part of their private correspondence filed in the registry, but as a rule kept them in their offices. It was not uncommon for such documents to be taken along when leaving office. Thus the estates of the Reich Chancellors Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst, Bülow, Hertling and Luther as well as of the chiefs of the Reich Chancellery Rottenburg and Pünder, which are kept in the Federal Archives, almost regularly contain official or semi-official documents in addition to private records, which have arisen from the exercise of official functions. The fact that the files of the Lammers Minister's Office have remained in the inventory is a consequence of their joint outsourcing with the inventory towards the end of the Second World War. In other cases, files of Reich Chancellors and senior officials with material on specific issues, with documents for conferences, meetings, etc., were handed over to the registry for safekeeping as soon as they were no longer needed and assigned to the relevant subject series as supplements. As a result, such hand files are scattered over the inventory, e.g. the hand files for the series "Execution of the Peace Treaty, Reparations" in the group "Foreign Affairs". The secret files of the Reich Chancellery formed another complex of documents separate from the registry holdings, the content, scope and structure of which unfortunately are not known in detail. According to the information available in the Federal Archives, they were probably burned before the end of the war by members of the Reich Chancellery in accordance with the decree of the Reich Minister of the Interior to the Reich Defence Commissioners of 12 October 1944 concerning "Behaviour of the Authorities in the Event of Enemy Occupation"[85] Individual fragments of secret files, which probably accidentally escaped annihilation and were in the inventory, were listed in the present find book at the end of the section "Files of the Minister's Office". In Potsdam, with a few exceptions, there are those old files of the Reich Chancellery from the period 1878 - 1919 which had been removed from the current registry in mid-February 1919 and deposited in an old file file. The Reichsarchiv had only been able to take it over in 1937 or 1938, after earlier efforts in vain. Only the old files of the service administration, including the personnel files, remained in the Authority. During the Second World War, the holdings of the Reich Archives, together with other archival materials, were moved to the Staßfurt salt mine near Magdeburg, where they fell into the hands of the Red Army in 1945. It was taken to the Soviet Union and 10 years later, in July 1955, handed over to the German Central Archive (renamed the "Central State Archive of the GDR" in 1973) in Potsdam. There it formed the inventory 07. 01. The inventory division into four departments was retained. In addition to the former Reichsarchiv holdings, the Central State Archives also kept about 800 individual records of the registry from the years 1933 - 1945, which were presumably found in the Wilhelmstraße office building. The majority of the Reichskanzleiakten from the years 1919 - 1945 as well as the old files of the office administration had been in Berlin only until the last phase of the war. As the situation in and around Berlin worsened, they were relocated to southern Germany, where they were confiscated by American troops in 1945. Via the Ministerial Collecting Center in Hessisch-Lichtenau and Fürstenhagen near Kassel, the central collection point for all material found by the Americans in their occupation zone[90], they reached the Berlin Documents Unit at the beginning of 1946. Here they - like other German files stored there - were evaluated for investigations against leading personalities from the state, the party and other areas of public life in preparation for war crimes trials. During the Berlin blockade in the summer of 1948, the files united in the Documents Unit were transferred to Whaddon Hall near Bletchley in the southern English county of Buckinghamshire. The files of the Reich Chancellery were stored there until 1958 and were provisionally arranged, recorded and selected for filming. In addition to the tradition of the Federal Foreign Office, which is primarily relevant, they also served as the basis for the edition of files on German foreign policy, which was initially edited exclusively by Anglo-Saxon and French historians. These files finally reached the Federal Archives in two transports in December 1958 and January 1959, a remainder at the end of April 1959. Here they form the listed holdings R 43 I, II. Archivische Bearbeitung During the provisional arrangement and indexing of the files of the Reich Chancellery from the years 1919 - 1945 in Whaddon Hall, the editors proceeded from two partial holdings. One of them essentially covered the tradition of the Weimar period, the other mainly the files from the period after 30 January 1933; they were briefly referred to as the "Old" and "New" Reich Chancelleries. As mentioned above, this division had already taken place in January/February 1933 in the Reich Chancellery and had been maintained during the relocation of the files during the war and after their confiscation. In the course of the processing, it was refrained from restoring the consistent arrangement of the file groups in both partial holdings, e.g. according to the alphabet of the group titles as they had existed in the registry of the Reich Chancellery. Only the registry connections within the groups that were presumably largely lost due to frequent relocations of the holdings were taken into account, whereby errors and mistakes were often made due to a lack of familiarity with the registry relationships and the file management of the Reich Chancellery. Nevertheless, it was possible to restore the mass of files to their original order with the help of the old signatures and tape numbers. Less satisfactorily, the classification of the not insignificant remnant of the tradition was resolved, which consisted of files of the minister's office, hand files of officials, secret file fragments, volumes with collections of circulars, circulars and press cuttings, registration aids, etc. Materials of this kind came to various places, especially at the end of both parts of the stock. In each part of the collection, the volumes were numbered consecutively. The distortion was also differentiated between the two partial stocks. The sequential number, the old signature and the runtime were included as formal specifications. In order to identify the contents of the file, the serial title was taken from the inscription of the file as the subject of the thread-stitched volumes, i.e. above all the files of the older part. In the case of standing folders, on the other hand, the titles of the individual transactions were entered in the list, as far as Rotuli was available with the corresponding information, and the subject series title was usually dispensed with. As a result, two very different lists were drawn up in terms of their degree of resolution. In the Federal Archives, these directories served for a long time as exclusive finding aids. This meant that the division into two parts, R 43 I (Old Reich Chancellery) and R 43 II (New Reich Chancellery), was retained. The consecutive numbering carried out in Waddon Hall also remained unchanged, since the files had already frequently been quoted in scientific publications afterwards. For conservation reasons, however, the documents stored in standing files and folders had to be transferred to archive folders; as a rule, two or three or sometimes more volumes were formed from the contents of one folder. This was necessary in order to separate files from various subject series that had been united in the Reich Chancellery and to form handy, not too extensive volumes. The volumes formed from the documents of a standing file, however, retained its serial number and were distinguished by the addition of letters (a, b, c, etc.). Within the volumes, the delimitation of the processes from each other, which had previously been recognizable by filing them in hanging binders, was marked by the insertion of separator sheets. On the other hand it turned out that 84 volumes from R 43 I and 205 volumes from R 43 II could not be separated and destroyed. The largest part (125 volumes) concerned the administration of the Aid Fund and the Disposition Fund of the Reich Chancellor; it consisted of individual files on the acceptance and use of donations from private sources, on the granting or refusal of support, other donations or gifts of honour to private individuals, associations and federations in emergencies, birthdays, anniversaries, events and on the occasion of the assumption of honorary sponsorships by the Reich Chancellor. The corresponding activity of the Reich Chancellery is already documented by several series in the groups "Reich Chancellor" and "Welfare" as well as by a number of files of the minister's office. The second largest group of documents collected (about 120 volumes) were files of the service administration. They mainly contained cash documents, invoices and receipts, company offers, correspondence with individual companies about deliveries and services for the Reich Chancellery as well as irrelevant documents about various house matters. The rest of the non-archival material consisted of volumes with multiple traditions and collections of official printed matter, in a few cases volumes containing only individual transmission letters. Finally, 44 volumes with documents of foreign provenances were removed from the holdings and assigned to other holdings, in some cases also to places outside the house. The majority of the documents are from the Community of Student Associations, which Reichsminister Dr. Lammers managed and whose business he had led through his office. Details are given in the Annex. The maps and plans, which were taken from the files for conservation reasons, were combined in the map archive to an independent group "Plan R 43 II". These are in particular planning breaks for the new building from the years 1943 ff. They are indexed by a separate index. The holdings of the Central State Archives (07.01) and the Federal Archives (R 43) were merged into holdings R 43 following the merger of the two archives in 1990. For the files of the Reich Chancellery from the years 1919 to 1945, a publication index was available since 1984, which also takes into account the files of this epoch kept in the Central State Archives until 1990. For the files of the "Old Reich Chancellery" (1878-1919), the Central State Archives had a finding aid book that had already been compiled in the Reich Archives.

History of the Inventory Designer: The Constitution of the German Reich of 16 April 1871, as well as the Constitution of the North German Confederation of 1867, contained no more detailed provisions on the design of the Reich Administration. Only the Reich Chancellor was the only responsible minister of the German Reich with constitutional rank. How he should fulfil his duties and tasks, on the other hand, remained largely undefined and left to the concrete will of the respective office holder. Because of this constitutional indeterminacy, the Reich level of the administration of the German Empire was bound to the character of the improvised and sometimes also the unstable until the end of the German Empire. At first it actually seemed as if Bismarck, as the only minister of the Reich, wanted to work with only one central, unified administrative authority. The Federal Chancellery, on whose organisation its later President Rudolf Delbrück had exerted considerable influence, began its work in 1867 as the office of the Federal Chancellor and was continued in the expansion of the North German Confederation into the German Reich under the name of the Reich Chancellery. The responsibilities of the Office were comprehensive and included the function of an office for the standing committees of the Federal Council, the handling of the revenues and expenditures of the Confederation and the preparation of the presidential bills. With the foundation of the German Reich, the Imperial Chancellery also took over the direct administration of the Reichsland Alsace-Lorraine and the Reichseisenbahnen. Karl Hofmann, the President of the Reich Chancellery, was instructed by decree of 6 August 1877 to prepare for the creation of a special office which would take care of all the affairs of the Reich Chancellor for which he had "previously used forces of the Foreign Office for spatial reasons". Hofmann's submission of 29 Nov. 1877 then also provided for the establishment of such a central office under the designation "Special Office of the Reich Chancellor", but placed this office in the budget of the Reich Chancellery. However, Hofmann did not succeed in this attempt to fortify the position of his office again. Although Bismarck agreed with Hofmann's proposals concerning the internal organisation and salary classification of the staff in his new office, he changed the name of the new post to "Centralbureau" on the basis of his own hand. More important than this change in the nomenclature, however, was the fact that Bismarck, by decree of 16 December 1877, called on Hofmann to draw up a special budget for an independent authority not incorporated into the Imperial Chancellery. The draft of a "Budget for the Imperial Chancellor and his Central Office for the Budget Year 1878/79" provided funds for the salaries of a speaking council, an expediting secretary, a clerical secretary and a clerical servant. The new authority was to take its seat in the former Palais Radziwill in Wilhelmstraße 77; the Imperial Chancellor was also to move into an official residence there. Bismarck requested with Immediatbericht of 16 May 1878 from Wilhelm I. the permission for the constitution of the new office, which should be called Reich Chancellery, because this designation might correspond "most exactly to the position and the tasks of the same". Christoph von Tiedemann, who had been Bismarck's closest collaborator since 1876 and was therefore familiar with the habits of the Reich Chancellor to the best of his ability, became head of the Reich Chancellery. Under his leadership, the Reich Chancellery actually developed into a political relay station in the centre of the political decision-making structure, whose function was also recognised by the State Secretaries of the Reich Offices. Under constitutional law, the Reich Chancellery was never more than the office of the Reich Chancellor, which "had to mediate the official dealings of the latter with the heads of the individual departments". The office character is expressed not least in the official rank of the head of the Reich Chancellery and the very limited staff until the end of the imperial era. It was not until 1907 that the head of the Reich Chancellery was elevated to the rank of Undersecretary of State and thus placed on an equal footing with the senior officials of the Reich Offices. Although the number of employees grew from originally four in 1878 to 19 in 1908 and continued to rise to 25 in 1918 due to the requirements of the First World War, the Reich Chancellery never even came close to the number of staff of a Reich Office. The private and representative affairs of the Reich Chancellor were handled by the special office of the Reich Chancellor, which continued to reside in the Foreign Office even after the establishment of the Reich Chancellery. With the beginning of the First World War, a joint branch office of the Reich Chancellery and the Foreign Office was established at the Great Headquarters under the name "Formation Reichskanzler und Auswärtiges Amt". This branch existed until the end of the war. A permanent representative was here to represent the interests of the Reich Chancellor when he was in Berlin. In the Reich Chancellery, on the other hand, the Undersecretary of State ran the business if the Reich Chancellor was in the headquarters. In February 1917 a permanent representative of the Reich Chancellor was installed at the Supreme Army Command in order to get a better grip on the continuing disagreements between Reich Chancellor Theobald von Bethmann Hollweg and the 3rd Supreme Army Command under Paul von Hindenburg and Erich Ludendorff. His task was to keep the Supreme Army Command constantly informed about the policy of the Reich Administration. With the forced abdication of Emperor Wilhelm II and the resignation of Reich Chancellor Max von Baden, business was transferred to the Council of People's Representatives on 11 Nov. 1918, which temporarily exercised the function of an imperial government until the government of Philipp Scheidemann took office on 19 February 1919. From 9 November 1918 to 3 March 1919, the head of the Reich Chancellery was the journalist Curt Baake. After the Weimar parliamentary democracy was established, the position of the Reich Chancellor also changed, as did that of the Reich Chancellery. While the Imperial Chancellor was no longer the only Imperial Minister, as he was in the Empire, he, as Chairman of the Imperial Government, determined the political guidelines in accordance with Articles 55 and 56 of the Imperial Constitution, through which he was able to exert a decisive influence on the fate of the Empire. His authority to issue directives was, of course, restricted by constitutional law and political practice to a considerable extent, for it had to be brought into line politically with the powers of other organs provided for in the Reich Constitution. These were less the Reichsrat, which as a permanent conference of delegates of the state governments had only limited powers in the field of legislation and administration and whose significance cannot be compared with that of the Bundesrat of the Kaiserreich, than the other two constitutional organs: Reichstag and Reichspräsident. With the change of the position of the Reich Chancellor in the Weimar Republic, the tasks of the Reich Chancellery also increased. The Reich Chancellery remained, as in the imperial period, the office of the Reich Chancellor for his dealings with the constitutional organs, now the Reich President, the Reichstag, the Reich Council and the individual Reich Ministers. The State Secretary in the Reich Chancellery took part in the cabinet meetings, informed the Reich Chancellor about the current fundamental issues of politics as a whole, accompanied him at all important conferences in Germany and abroad, observed the formation of opinion in parliament, the press, coordinated legislative work with the Reich parties on his behalf, and gave a lecture to the Reich Chancellor himself. The Reich Chancellery was also represented by a member in the above-mentioned intergroup meetings, in which the most important decisions of the Cabinet were discussed in advance with the party and parliamentary group leaders. She made sure that, despite the constant tensions in the constantly changing coalitions, the objective work of the Reich's departments continued. he preparation of the collegiate decisions and the reliable monitoring of their implementation, two of the Reich Chancellery's main tasks, was of particular importance in this respect. The necessary consequence of these increased tasks was an increase in the number of departments in the Reich Chancellery from three (as of 1910) to eight (as of 1927) and in the number of civil servants from 20 before the outbreak of the First World War. Formally, the Reich Chancellery had various offices attached to it, which were either directly subordinated to it, such as the Reich Headquarters for Homeland Service, or under the direct control of the Reich Chancellor. When, after the death of the Reich President von Hindenburg, the Reich Chancellor took over the powers and rights of the head of state of the German Reich by the Law of August 1, 1934 - including the supreme command of the Wehrmacht - and thus united the office of Reich President with the office of Reich Chancellor in his person, this also had an effect on his relationship with the Reich government. As head of state, Hitler had the right to appoint and dismiss the Reich Ministers without having to wait for the proposal of the Reich Chancellor, as the Reich President had done. The Reichsminister were therefore completely dependent on him. According to the Reich Law of 16 October 1934 on the Oath of the Reich Ministers and Members of the State Governments, the formula of which was later also incorporated into the German Civil Servants Law of 26 January 1937, they were obliged to loyalty and obedience to him. The Führer principle of the NSDAP now also applied to the Reich government, whose members the "Führer und Reichskanzler," as Hitler was called after the decree to the Reich Minister of the Interior of August 2, 1934, only had to advise in inner-German dealings, but were now also legally obliged to submit to his will in case of a dissenting opinion. This meant that the Reichskabinett was no longer a decision-making body in which the Reich Chancellor could possibly have been majorized, but rather a "Führerrat", which only had to advise the head of government. It was planned to also fix this changed position of the Reich Chancellor vis-à-vis the Reich government in law, an intention which, at Hitler's request, was postponed in the cabinet meeting of 26 January 1937, particularly with regard to foreign countries, until the creation of a new Basic Law. The above-mentioned concentration of state tasks on the Führer and Reich Chancellor naturally also had an effect on the responsibilities of the Reich Chancellery. Thus, for example, the Enabling Act already brought about a certain increase in tasks for them, because the laws passed by the Reich government were no longer to be drawn up and promulgated by the Reich President, but by the Reich Chancellor, and the fewest laws were still passed in the ordinary legislative process, through the Reichstag, but went the second legislative process described above, or were passed as Führer decrees or ordinances - without the participation of the Cabinet. The strengthened position of the head of the Reich Chancellery was conspicuous externally in the fact that the documents of government laws signed by Hitler and co-signed by the participating Reich Minister now always also bore the co-signature of the Reich Minister and head of the Reich Chancellery, who thus assumed responsibility for the proper course of the legislative process. After the establishment of the Council of Ministers for the Defence of the Reich at the end of August 1939, the signature of the Chairman of the Council of Ministers for the Defence of the Reich was also necessary in second place behind that of Hitler. In addition, the head of the Reich Chancellery also signed all the Führer decrees with legislative content and, if necessary - which never occurred - the Reichstag laws and the laws enacted on the basis of the "Volksgesetzgebung" (People's Legislation). The increasing workload of Hitler, who in addition to the powers of the Reich Chancellor and the Reich President also exercised supreme command over the Wehrmacht, meant that the cabinet meetings gradually ceased. In addition, the Reich Chancellor, who could no longer be informed by the Reich Ministers united in the cabinet about the completion of individual tasks in the departments, was increasingly dependent on information from the head of the Reich Chancellery. The task of selecting from the wealth of information supplied and processed those suitable for presentation to the Reich Chancellor and of deciding whether Hitler's intervention in certain matters appeared necessary was therefore the responsibility of the head of the Reich Chancellery, who granted him another key position in the leadership apparatus of the state civilian sector. The Reichsminister also had the opportunity to give individual lectures directly to the Reich Chancellor. But Hitler also made less and less use of this, so that the head of the Reich Chancellery practically advised him alone, which strengthened his position vis-à-vis the specialist ministers, who tried in vain to reach certain agreements among themselves through private meetings, especially towards the end of the war. The office of the Reich President, renamed "Präsidialkanzlei" and renamed "Präsidialkanzlei des Führers und Reichskanzlers" by decree of the Führer and Reich Chancellor of 1 December 1937, remained responsible for the handling of all matters concerning the head of state even after the merger of the offices of the Reich President and the Reich Chancellor.B. the preparation of ceremonial receptions of foreign heads of state, princes and statesmen, the receipt of letters of attestation and recall from foreign diplomats, congratulations and condolences from the head of state, the processing of petitions in matters of grace and the entire title and religious order system. On the other hand, the political affairs in which, in addition to the decision of the Reich government, the decision of the head of the Reich was also necessary, were now taken care of by the Reich Chancellery, as was the preparation of political decisions, which up to then had to be made by the head of state, such as the enactment of organizational decrees, which were now the sole responsibility of the Reich Chancellery. Although the documents of appointment and dismissal for the higher Reich officials were still to be submitted to Hitler for execution by the office of the head of state, i.e. now by the head of the presidential chancellery, the responsible ministers and the Reich Chancellery were responsible for the factual and political preparation. Inventory description: Inventory history The day after the Reich Chancellery was established, on 19 May 1878, the expediting secretary in the Foreign Office, Hans Rudolf Sachse, who shortly afterwards began his service as a registrar in the new Reich authority, presented the draft of a registry order for the Reich Chancellery to the lecturing council of Tiedemann. His "basic features for the book and file keeping at the Reich Chancellery" were obviously based on the experience of the Foreign Office's records administration. The records were initially stored loosely in shelves in the registry, probably lying from the outset in the provided and already inscribed file covers. If a file unit had reached a thickness of 2 - 3 cm, it was provided with a linen back and another dust jacket and formed into a tape by means of thread stitching. This organisation of written records proved to be sufficient and practicable for a long series of years. With the gradual further development of the functions and activities of the Reich Chancellery, and as a result of the development of constitutional law and administrative organization in the Reich and in the federal states, however, it had to appear in need of change over time. At the turn of the century it was therefore decided to introduce a more differentiated file system, which came into force on 1 January 1900. The state's new beginning on 13 February 1919, the day on which Cabinet Scheidemann took office, brought a continuous cut in the registry of the Reich Chancellery. The entire file inventory was transferred to the old filing system and new files were created. The 30th of January meant a noticeable, but not sharp cut in the records administration of the Reich Chancellery. In order to start a new filing layer on this day, numerous files were removed from the current filing system, stapled and repositioned in the old filing system. They were replaced by new volumes. However, this only happened if the running band was filled to some extent anyway; if this was not the case, it was continued. In any case, the band counting began again with the number 1, although the series from the Weimar period continued seamlessly. The file structure, however, was left unchanged, and thread-stitching generally remained the same; standing files were used for the first time only for newly created series. In addition to the files kept in the registry, other records were also handed down by the fact that the Reich Chancellors and senior officials of the Reich Chancellery did not have handwritten records, personal papers, and a large part of their private correspondence filed in the registry, but as a rule kept them in their offices. It was not uncommon for such documents to be taken along when leaving office. Thus the estates of the Reich Chancellors Hohenlohe-Schillingsfürst, Bülow, Hertling and Luther as well as of the chiefs of the Reich Chancellery Rottenburg and Pünder, which are kept in the Federal Archives, almost regularly contain official or semi-official documents in addition to private records, which have arisen from the exercise of official functions. The fact that the files of the Lammers Minister's Office have remained in the inventory is a consequence of their joint outsourcing with the inventory towards the end of the Second World War. In other cases, files of Reich Chancellors and senior officials with material on specific issues, with documents for conferences, meetings, etc., were handed over to the registry for safekeeping as soon as they were no longer needed and assigned to the relevant subject series as supplements. As a result, such hand files are scattered over the inventory, e.g. the hand files for the series "Execution of the Peace Treaty, Reparations" in the group "Foreign Affairs". The secret files of the Reich Chancellery formed another complex of documents separate from the registry holdings, the content, scope and structure of which unfortunately are not known in detail. According to the information available in the Federal Archives, they were probably burned before the end of the war by members of the Reich Chancellery in accordance with the decree of the Reich Minister of the Interior to the Reich Defence Commissioners of 12 October 1944 concerning "Behaviour of the Authorities in the Event of Enemy Occupation"[85] Individual fragments of secret files, which probably accidentally escaped annihilation and were in the inventory, were listed in the present find book at the end of the section "Files of the Minister's Office".

The largest part (125 volumes) concerned the administration of the Aid Fund and the Disposition Fund of the Reich Chancellor; it consisted of individual files on the acceptance and use of donations from private sources, on the granting or refusal of support, other donations or gifts of honour to private individuals, associations and federations in emergencies, birthdays, anniversaries, events and on the occasion of the assumption of honorary sponsorships by the Reich Chancellor. The corresponding activity of the Reich Chancellery is already documented by several series in the groups "Reich Chancellor" and "Welfare" as well as by a number of files of the minister's office.

The rest of the non-archival material consisted of volumes with multiple traditions and collections of official printed matter, in a few cases volumes containing only individual transmission letters. Finally, 44 volumes with documents of foreign provenances were removed from the holdings and assigned to other holdings, in some cases also to places outside the house. The majority of the documents are from the Community of Student Associations, which Reichsminister Dr. Lammers managed and whose business he had led through his office. Details are given in the Annex. The maps and plans, which were taken from the files for conservation reasons, were combined in the map archive to an independent group "Plan R 43 II". These are in particular planning breaks for the new building from the years 1943 ff. They are indexed by a separate index. The holdings of the Central State Archives (07.01) and the Federal Archives (R 43) were merged into holdings R 43 following the merger of the two archives in 1990. For the files of the Reich Chancellery from the years 1919 to 1945, a publication index was available since 1984, which also takes into account the files of this epoch kept in the Central State Archives until 1990. For the files of the "Old Reich Chancellery" (1878-1919), the Central State Archives had a finding aid book that had already been compiled in the Reich Archives. In addition to the files of the "old" Reich Chancellery from the years 1878 - 1918 described since January 2005 with an online find book (editor: Mr. Hollmann), those of the so-called "new" Reich Chancellery for the years 1919 - 1945 were also added in September 2006 (editor: Simone Walther). Because of the recording of the approx. 10,000 archive units in three different signature systems or partial inventories at that time, there were some database-technical peculiarities to consider. A re-signing of the microfilmed files for easier integration as closed holdings in the database of the Federal Archives was out of the question for various archival reasons. The units of description (files) identified with various text programs in the 1984 Publication Findbuch were imported into the database using a retroco-version procedure. Three so-called partial or secondary stocks were created, which differ from each other by their signature system. In the earlier distortion, the editors formed tape series or series that very often consisted of two or three of the "partial stocks". In the database, however, it is technically not possible to create such a tape or series across all stocks. The presentation of the series and volume series in the now available online finding aid required the relatively time-consuming "manual" merging of the various parts of a volume sequence in the cross-folder classification scheme (classification). In such a volume series, the volume sequence title appears repeatedly within the volume sequence before the volume or the volumes from another "partial stock". Since the creation of series, partly with additional subordinate volume sequences from different partial stocks, was just as impossible to implement, the corresponding information was partly recorded in supplementary classification points. As a rule, however, the structure handed down in the Publication Findbuch has been retained and the units of description have been classified according to their order. In the course of the processing, the signatures displayed incorrectly or incompletely in the printed finding aids could be corrected. A revision of the directory data according to the now valid archive rules did not seem to be necessary due to the very high effort involved. Minor corrections were made to the titles. Dates in titles that did not belong directly to the title were moved from there to the differentiated runtime field. Citation style: BArch, R 43/...

In the State Treaty of 7 December 1849, Prince Karl Anton von Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, together with Prince Constantine von Hohenzollern-Hechingen, ceded the Hohenzollern principalities to Prussia. After approval by the Prussian chambers, Hohenzollern was united with Prussia by law of 12 March 1850. Following the incorporation of the two principalities into Prussia, the former administrative authorities were retained for the time being. Thus in the lower instance the upper offices Glatt, Haigerloch, Hechingen, Gammertingen, Trochtelfingen, Sigmaringen, Straßberg, Ostrach and Wald became Prussian authorities. When the Haigerloch Oberamt passed over to Prussia, the towns of Bietenhausen, Bittelbronn, Empfingen, Gruol, Haigerloch, Hart, Heiligenzimmern, Höfendorf, Imnau, Stetten bei Haigerloch, Trillfingen and Weildorf were included in the Oberamt district. By decree of 18 January 1854, the Oberamt Glatt was abolished and incorporated into the Oberamt Haigerloch. Thus the places Betra, Dettensee, Dettingen, Dettlingen, Dießen, Glatt and Fischingen came to the upper office Haigerloch. The Haigerloch upper office, enlarged by the Glatter Orte, did not undergo any further territorial changes during its entire existence (until 1925). By notice published in the Official Journal on 1 September 1854, the implementation of the new district organisation, i.e. the transfer of office and establishment of the new district office, was fixed for 28 September 1854 by the Viebig Commissioner-Governing Council. The files and coffers of the former Oberamt Glatt were to have been transferred to Haigerloch by the handover date. Present at the handing over were: Government Councillor and Commissioner Viebig, the former Chief Officer Stehle, the future Chief Office Executive Appellate Judge Emmele and the former administrator of the Chief Office Glatt and now Chief Office Secretary Kordeuter. From 1 January 1858, both official corporations received a joint official treasury and official cash account, the management of which had been taken over by Kordeuter. The law of 7 October 1925 concerning the simplification of the administration of the Hohenzollernsche Lande brought about the end of the Haigerloch Oberamtsbezirk by merging it with the Hechingen Oberamtsbezirk to form the Hechingen district. Until the end of 1851 the administration of the Oberamts Haigerloch Oberamtmann Harz led the Oberamtsassessor Rehmann as Oberamtsverweser from 1 January 1852 to 17 September 1852. From 17 September 1852 Oberamtmann Stehle in Straßberg was in charge of the provisional administration of the Oberamt. He was followed by Appellations Court Referendarius Emele, initially as Chief Administrator from 28 September 1854 and as Chief Administrator from 4 January 1856 until the end of June 1891. He was replaced by the Government Assessor Sauerland, first as Commissarial Chief Administrator from 1 July 1891, then as Chief Administrator from 1 January 1891. February 1892 to February 2, 1902. On February 20, 1902, Schulz-Hausmann was appointed Assessor of the Government as Commissarial Oberamtmann and on August 1, 1902 Assessor of the Government as Oberamtmann until the end of February 1914. He was succeeded on March 5, 1914 by Assessor Großpietsch as Commissarial Oberamtmann and from August 16, 1914 as Oberamtmann. Since Großpietsch was called up for military service during the World War, the business premises of the Haigerloch Oberamt were moved to Hechingen from November 1916 and the administration of the same was taken over by the Oberamtmann in Hechingen. 2nd order of the inventory The files listed here cover the period from 1850 ¿ 1925 and originate from the delivery of the Oberamt Haigerloch from 1925, the newly listed files I and to a small extent also the newly listed files II. All files are stapled according to the Prussian file stapling. This work had to be done by the Regis trator with the scribe's apprentices and the senior civil servant. Since all General Acts contain both Haigerlocher and Glatter documents, it can be assumed that the file stitching only took place after the incorporation of the Glatter Oberamtsbezirk into Haigerloch. In the case files, everything that could be found in a subject was stapled into a file cover. Many of these files therefore begin with the reign of Haigerloch-Wehrstein or the Murian reign of Glatt in the 18th century and even earlier. A separation of these provenances is not indicated because of the stapling. Instead, numerous references were included in the repertories of the princely Oberämter Haigerloch and Glatt as well as in the repertories Herrschaft Haigerloch-Wehrstein and Murische Herrschaft Glatt to complete them. The references of the Prussian Oberamt Hechingen have no numbers in the repertory. There are no land, pledge or target books in the files, because these were handed over to the newly created district court commissions by order of the Commissarius für die Hohenzollernschen Lande von Villers from 24.12.1851 to 1.1.1852. The district court commission in Hechingen was initially responsible for Haigerloch and Glatt. Although these Amtsbücher of 1850 and 1851 were not continued by the Kreisgerichtskommission in the previous form, they could not be taken to the Oberamt Haigerloch because they contain deletion notes and references to files of the Kreisgerichtskommission. In this way, the voluntary jurisdiction of the local authorities, including the keeping of the land and mortgage books, was removed, and the powers of the Oberamts were limited to the punishment of financial offences or tax defraudations (VO-Blatt of 30.1.1852) according to the previous law of 6.3.1840 (G.S. V, p. 144) and of 27.12.1842 (G.S. VI, p. 260). The systematic structuring of the repertory was carried out according to the existing old signatures and the old registry order was largely restored. A repertory of files begun in 1858, in which all accumulated files up to and including 1915 were recorded, leaves nothing to be seen apart from the 17 main groups, as the files were recorded chronologically one after the other. The present inventory comprises 40 linear metres with 2928 serial numbers. In 1968, he was removed from the newly recorded files I and listed by Government Inspector Kungl. The separation of the Haigerloch files from the newly recorded files II and from the delivery in 1925 of the Haigerloch regional office was carried out by the employee Abbot, who also helped with the packaging. Miss Queck produced fair copies and registers. Sigmaringen, summer 1968 Kungl

History of the authorities: With the introduction of the ministerial constitution in the Württemberg state administration, the former old Württemberg state colleges and deputations were transformed into departments by the organisational manifesto of 18 March 1806. As royal colleges they each received a director as chief. As early as 1807, the name "Kollegium" was replaced by the name "Departement" and all internal administration was brought together in one department, all of which was under the direct supervision and direction of the Minister of the Interior. The highest office was formed by a board of directors under the presidency of the minister, which was responsible for "the most null and void affairs of public administration" (Wintterlin Vol. 1 p. 247). The Ministry consisted of the Minister, the President of the Supreme Government, the Directors of the Departments and the oldest Councils. All departments dealt with the business in collegial consultation and were individually referred to as:I. Oberregierungskollegium mit den Unterdepartements1. Department of Criminal Investigation2. Police Department3. OberlehendepartementII OberlandesökonomiekollegiumIII Straßen-, Brücken- und WasserbaudepartementIV. Medical DepartmentIn 1811, the so-called office system was introduced to speed up the course of business. In place of a Directorate General, King Frederick decided, following the example of other states, to order a Council of State, another body to advise on comprehensive matters dealt with by one or more departments at the same time. Now the collegial departments were divided into various smaller ministerial departments - known as sections - which at the same time acted as central authorities for the whole country. There was no authority between the minister and the senior officials during this time. The Department of Home Affairs included:1. the Section of Internal Administration (previously the subdepartments of the Oberregierungskollegium)2. the Section of Internal Administration (previously the subdepartments of the Oberregierungskollegium). The section of the feud3. The Medical Section4. The Section of Roads, Bridges and Hydraulic Engineering5. and 6. The Sections of Municipal Administration and Accounting, which took the place of the Oberlandesökonomiekollegiums, were merged into one Section of Municipal Administration in 1812.According to § 31 of the Organizational Edict of 18 November 1817, the Ministry of the Interior was assigned a college called "Oberregierung" (Upper Government), which existed until 1917, to deal with the affairs requiring collegial consultation. In 1817, the competence of the Interior Administration was extended by the incorporation of the Church and School System, which was separated from the Ministry of the Interior only by decree of 28 October 1849 and established as an independent Ministry as the Department of Church and School System. Until 1918 it was worded in such a way that first of all the rapporteurs were designated and then their business was listed. The first draft of a new business division (1918/19), which was to be subdivided into business divisions, initially provided for eight business divisions. By order of the Ministry of the Interior of 14 October 1922 No. V 7171 (Bü 284), the new business division divided into twelve business circles (I - XII) finally came into force. The business circles formed the basis for the "processing plan" (later business distribution plan), which was created for the first time. He was also responsible for the allocation of files to the officials responsible for handling business on the basis of the processing plan. In the Fifth Organizational Edict of 18 November 1817, the business of the Chancellery Director was described in more detail. His duties initially included only the law firm's business, i.e. monitoring the entire course of business and keeping and countersigning the registers at meetings. He was also in charge of the supervision of the Accounting Chamber integrated into the firm. In the business distributor of 1878 the most important tasks of the later business part I, the execution of the civil service law and the budgeting, are already listed beside the tasks of the Kanzleidirektor. History of the holdings: According to the Service Regulations for the Upper Government of 21 December 1817 and the oath form for the ministerial registrars, files, diaries and registers (directorates) kept in alphabetical order had to be kept at the ministerial registry. In addition, two other aids were available, an alphabetical list of the names of the persons about whom files had been created at the Ministry, and an "Index normalis" for the period 1817 - 1868 (with supplements from the years 1875, 1876). The latter is an alphabetical list of the files in the registry which contained precedents. Another precedent book was created as a continuation of 1868 by Kanzleirat Zeyer. It differs from the "Index normalis" created by Kanzleirat Euting in that it does not only contain precedent traps. The "Index normalis" is arranged purely alphabetically, as well as the Prejudicial Book, but is subdivided according to the material according to the registration plan introduced by Zeyer. The directorate was nevertheless retained and reestablished in 1875. Until 1891, the relevant rubric was added to each entry, then the files were marked with the technical and box signature. Registratur Sibert introduced the following improvements in 1895: The classification system that emerged at the beginning of the 19th century proved to be impractical and outdated over the course of time due to the arbitrary choice of catchwords. Sibert reworked the individual categories and in 1896 carried out extensive Aken excretions. With the draft of a new classification order (registration plan) approved on September 24, 1896, Sibert retained the previous order. However, individual items of a keyword were grouped under one heading, so that the number of main headings was reduced from 167 to 88. In May 1900, Sibert established a new directorate, and on January 1, 1912, three registry departments were formed at the Ministerial Registrar's Office. The basis for the division of the three registry departments was formed by six registry land registers (Directories), which were divided between the three departments as follows:Registries Department I General Repertory Volume I Special Directorate Volume I Special Directorate Volume I General Repertory Volume I Special Directorate Volume III General Repertory Volume II Special Directorate Volume IVDThe three general Directories were divided according to the alphabetical order of the main categories, the three Special Directories according to the alphabetical order of the higher offices, the three Special Directories according to the alphabetical order of the higher offices, and the three Special Directories according to the alphabetical order of the higher offices. Following the division of the Ministry of the Interior into twelve business circles, the previous six registry general ledgers were completed and, from 1923, each business division was assigned its own registry department designated by the number of the business division. Since then, the general ledgers have been laid out as loose-leaf books. In business section I, where around 5000 diary numbers and 4000 personnel file numbers were produced each year, a special arrangement was made in 1925 in which the enema was no longer entered in the diary but in a card file. In the other departments, the practice has remained the same, i.e. all individual cases have been registered in the diary and general ledger. The second part of the general ledger, which was created according to subject areas, comprised the district general ledger, which had been maintained since 1924. Since 1 January 1939, individual cases have only been recorded on an order card index for reasons of rational working methods. Instead of the diary number, these receipts have since carried the bundle number with a corresponding sub-number. As can be seen from the attached concordance, individual groups of files were provided with nine file signatures after 1939. Processing Report: The present holdings are a summary of the following partial deliveries and provisionally formed holdings of the Provenance Ministry of the Interior, Dept. I, Office Directorate:1.

During the revision of the stock extensive files (Az. 751-0301-552 from 13 February 1986) from the time after 1945 were separated and pulled to the stock EA 2/2 Ministry of the Interior department I. For the present repertory, the handover lists mentioned above were merely checked and supplemented, but the form of title recording for repertories was chosen for easier handling of the find book. Individual files of Groups IX (Festivities and Commemorations) and XI (Art and Science) were indexed and recorded in detail by Archivamtmännin Pfeifle as early as 1975. since further job files were identified during the compilation of the partial holdings, it was necessary to merge the files of the special job file index of 1958 as well as the special index attached to it ("Personalakte" der Landratsämter) to delivery number 144. The previous special directory for serial number 145 has been provided with the new bundle numbers and can therefore still be used. The classification of the inventory was based on the rules of procedure of January 1923. A concordance of the bundle numbers to the previous serial numbers of the delivery lists is attached to the find book. The now united stock was revised and repackaged by the archive employees Hans Meissner and Kurt Lohmüller in the period 1981 - 1984 according to the instructions of the undersigned. The typewritten work was carried out by Mrs. Else Schwelling and Mrs. Gisela Filipitsch. The collection comprises 3161 numbers (100.5 m).Stuttgart, April 1986Walter Wannenwetsch

Preface: History of the Registrar Profiler The Faculty of Law of Berlin University has existed since the founding of the University in 1810 alongside the Faculties of Theology, Medicine and Philosophy. The statutes of the University of Berlin of October 1816, which remained in force until the enactment of the "Statutes of the Prussian Universities and Technical Colleges" in 1930, had provided in § 4 for the formation of a "legal department".(1) The constitution and the legal status of the Faculty of Law resulted from the "Statutes of the Faculty of Law of the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin" of 1838.(2) Thereafter the Faculty of Law had the task of teaching law. The rights and duties of the faculty as an authority consisted 1. in the supervision of teaching in its fields and its completeness; 2. in the supervision of students in scientific and moral respects and the granting of benefits and bonuses; 3. in the granting of academic dignity."(3) The first lectures were held in the winter semester 1810/11 by Professors Schmalz, von Savigny and Biener.(4) The number of students enrolled at the faculty was 53 in the first semester of its existence, then fell to six during the wars of liberation, and then grew continuously after the end of the war (summer semester 1825: 585, winter semester 1830/31: 701). In addition to its teaching activities, the Faculty of Law at Berlin University had since its foundation the character of a so-called "Spruchkollegium"(5) According to the procedural law in force at the time, the Spruchbehörde had the task of drafting judgments in proceedings before the courts. Through the introduction of the Reichsjustizgesetze after the Reich unification from above the Spruchkollegien lost their meaning. Although regular seminaristic exercises had already been carried out since 1819, above all to introduce the older sources of law, it was not until 1875 that a "Legal Seminar" was founded, which had the task of primarily preparing young academics for academic research through exercises in the field of legal history.(6) Since 1908, the Legal Seminar has served the education of all students. In 1887, the German Studies Department of the Law Department became the "Seminar für deutsches Recht" (Seminar for German Law), which was initially directly subordinated to the Ministry of Culture. The Legal Seminar existed until 1945. In addition, the "Criminalistic Seminar" had existed since 1899, which had to train the next generation of university lecturers in criminal law as a specialist seminar. From 1887 to 1896, on the basis of an agreement with the Russian government under the direction of Professor Eck, the so-called "Russian Institute" was concerned with the training of Russian students in Roman law.(7) In the following years, and especially since 1918, several other institutes were founded, such as the "Church Law Institute" in the summer semester of 1917 and the "Institute for Foreign and Economic Law" in the winter semester of 1920/21. On 1.11.1935 the "Institute for State Research" was transferred from Kiel to the University of Berlin. In February 1936, the former Faculty of Law was renamed the Faculty of Law and Political Science, and the areas of political science and economics that had previously belonged to the Faculty of Philosophy were integrated into the new Faculty.(8) Thus, the new Faculty was expanded to include the "Department of Political Science and Statistics", which had previously belonged to the Faculty of Philosophy. The "Kommunalwissenschaftliche Institut", which was founded in August 1928 as the first of its kind in Germany, was also transferred to the Faculty of Law and Political Science. The task of this institute was to provide an introductory training for candidates of higher career in municipal service. On 1.1.1937 a new "Institute for Commercial Law" was founded. The director Professor Hedemann had headed a similar institute at the University of Jena. In 1937 two further institutes were founded, the "Sozialwissenschaftliche Institut für Volkswohlfahrtspflege" and the "Institut für Wohnungs- und Siedlungswesen". The so-called Sozialwissenschaftliche Institut für Volkswohlfahrtspflege, which had been founded by the fascist NS-Volkswohlfahrt, had the task, under the direction of the head of the main office Hilgenfeldt, of working on the area of Volkswohlfahrtspflege. The "Institut für Wohnungs- und Siedlungswesen" (Institute for Housing and Settlement), which was concerned with teaching and research activities in the field of housing and settlement, should also be mentioned. With effect from 1.10.1938, the "Institute for Labour Law", which had previously existed at the University of Kiel, was transferred to the University of Berlin. Professor Siebert became director of the institute. In February 1940 the "Staatswissenschaftlich-Statistische Seminar" was given the name "Institut für Wirtschaftswissenschaft". By decree of the Reich Ministry of Science of 12 March 1940, the "Institute for Air Law" was moved from Leipzig to Berlin and assigned to the Faculty of Law and Political Science. Since the winter semester of 1942/43 there has been an "Institute for Commercial and Company Law" under the direction of Professor Gieseke. In March 1943 the "Institute for Youth Law" was founded, which according to the statutes had the task of teaching and research in the field of youth law, especially in the field of neglect research. The institution was particularly supported by the Reich Ministry of Justice and the Reich Student Leadership.(9) According to the files available, this institute did not seem to have been active until the collapse of the fascist state. In January 1943, the Department of Politics of the Institute for Politics and International Law was transferred from the University of Kiel to the Faculty of Law and Political Science under the name "Institute for Politics".(10) Nothing is known about the effectiveness of this institute, which was moved to Wittenberg in September 1944 and whose director was Professor Ritterbusch. After the reopening of the university in 1946, the aforementioned institutes were dissolved, with the exception of the Institute of Labour Law, Criminalistics and the Legal Seminar. (1) cf.

Registraturverhältnisse The registry of the Faculty of Law has been administered centrally by the university registry since the University was founded(1) The order within the registry has been arranged very simply in alphabetical keyword order. This order was maintained until 1945. Since the tasks and the structure of the faculty have remained constant since its foundation in 1810, the registry conditions have also remained unchanged. 2. access The holdings have been in the university archives since 1954. As a result of the alphabetical order of keywords, the use was extremely difficult. Only a keyword overview was available. 3. archival treatment The existing keyword order could not be taken as a basis for the order, since there were no factual connections. Therefore, three main groups with the corresponding subgroups were formed. This structure is clear and unambiguous, providing the user with a well-structured inventory overview. A name and subject register is located at the end of the index. The order and distortion was carried out in the summer of 1966. A revision took place in 2008/09/10.

Demolition of the organisation of justice in the "Third Reich" until 1935: By a decree of the Ministry of Justice of 20 April 1933 on the competence of the ministries, a new Ministry of Culture, Education and Justice was formed from the previously independent Ministries of Culture and Education and the Ministry of Justice. The Justice Department resided in the old premises of the Ministry at Herrenstraße 1 in Karlsruhe. Reichskommissar Otto Wacker became head of the new ministry. With the "Law on the Reconstruction of the Reich" of 30 January 1934, the sovereign rights of the Länder were transferred to the Reich. Thus also the entire administration of justice became a matter for the Reich. Initially, however, the administration of justice continued to be administered by the Länder on behalf of the Reich (1st Ordinance of the Reich Minister of the Interior on the Reconstruction of the Reich of 2 February 1934). The Reich Law of 5 December 1934 created a department Württemberg-Baden with a branch in Karlsruhe at the Reich Ministry of Justice, which from 1 January to 31 March 1935 temporarily continued the business of the Baden Ministry of Justice. On April 1, 1935, the administration of justice was finally taken over by the Reich in all German states. Any remaining business of the former Baden Ministry of Justice that was not affected by the release was transferred to the President of the Karlsruhe Higher Regional Court and the General Prosecutor's Office. A separate administrative department was set up at the Higher Regional Court for this purpose. With the German occupation of Alsace in 1940, the jurisdiction of the Prosecutor General also partly extended to Alsace. Inventory history: In 1987, the present inventory reached the General State Archives in a disordered manner and without a list of consignments. The registry office of the Attorney General was located in the old premises of the former Baden Ministry of Justice at Herrenstraße 1 in Karlsruhe. As can be seen from handwritten notes on two file books (order numbers 281 and 1563), a considerable part of the files stored in the registry was probably burnt by the effects of war on 27 September 1944. After the annexation of Alsace in 1940, the registry was divided into two partial registries with their own business marks (Z4 for Baden and Z5 for Alsace). The files were arranged according to the general file plan of the judiciary and were left in this order at the time of recording. Some of the files were continued beyond the end of the war in 1945, and the order and registration work was carried out by archive inspector Bernd Breitkopf from March 1989 to June 1990. Mrs. L. Hessler took care of the title recordings and corrections. References to related holdings in the General State Archives: Individual further files of the Attorney General from the time of the "Third Reich" can be found in holdings 309, 309-2 and 309 access 1996-66. Together with the files of the present holdings, documents of the administration department of the Higher Regional Court Karlsruhe were also handed over to the General State Archives (240 access 1987-53). The files of the presidential department of the Higher Regional Court were completely destroyed by the effects of war in 1944.
