The present file contains files of three different Prussian commissions which were responsible for the processing of compensation claims against the French state. Due to overlapping personnel and similar tasks, however, a relatively homogeneous file transmission results, the focus of which is on the activities of the main liquidation commission. On 3 June 1814 the Privy Councillor Johann Christian Magnus Freiherr von Oelssen (1775-1848) was appointed Commissioner for the Settlement of Compensation Claims of Prussian Nationals. He was supported by the Protestant General Consistorial President Johann Friedrich von Jacobi for a time. Wilhelm von Humboldt was in charge of the compensation matters. After the capture of Paris on 3 July 1815, Field Marshal Gebhard Leberecht von Blücher commissioned Friedrich Wilhelm Christian Ribbentrop (1768-1841), General Director of the Army, to negotiate the return of the works of art and cultural assets confiscated by the French troops in Prussia. To support him, war commissioner Jacoby and Prof. de Groote were assigned. In the further course, the Minister of State Karl vom Stein zum Altenstein (1770-1840) took over the negotiations and was supported by Johann Albrecht Friedrich Eichhorn (1779-1856), a member of the Court of Appeal, and Crull, a governor of Düsseldorf. After the Second Peace of Paris on 20 November 1815, the Prussian Liquidation Commission was finally formed. As liquidation commissions were also established in the Prussian provinces in the course of this period, the name of the main liquidation commission was established for the commission that initially met in Paris. The main task of this Commission was to negotiate with the French authorities on the approval of compensation figures for compensation claims submitted by Prussian nationals, authorities and municipalities during the French occupation. One territorial focus was on the areas that fell to Prussia after the peace agreement (including the Rhine Province). A large part of the files handed down contain the claims for compensation submitted and the Commission's decision on the legality of these claims. Wilhelm von Humboldt was appointed as the first Commissioner and Crull as the second Commissioner of the Governorate. Commissioner Crull also set up an Arbitration Commission based in Paris to rule on disputed claims for compensation. The main liquidation commission was later transferred to Berlin and dissolved in 1823. At a time that could no longer be determined, the Commission's files entered the holdings of the PK Secret State Archives and were recorded by the archivist Karl Sattler at the end of the 19th century. The stock was not outsourced during the Second World War. Therefore, the files remained in Berlin-Dahlem during the period of German division. However, since the find book was lost, the stock was again recorded by archivist Gerhard Kutzsch in 1953. This find book was retroconverted in 2013 by archives clerk Guido Behnke. The classification has been recreated. In addition, the existing file titles were reviewed and revised. In some cases, individual files had to be redrawn. The files of the stock were partially affected by water damage. Due to the resulting mould infestation, some of the files listed in this Reference Guide cannot currently be submitted for use. In addition, the collection includes approximately 50 official books (mainly cash books, directories, journals), which could not yet be recorded due to mould infestation. The files are to be quoted: GStA PK, I. HA, Rep. 143 Hauptliquidationskommission der Privatforderungen an Frankreich, Nr. () Berlin, April 2013 Guido Behnke Findmittel: Datenbank; Sammelfindbuch, 1 vol. (for I HA. Rep. 143 and 143 A); not listed

The archive of the card collection of the Ministry of Navy still contains only a few atlases. Since 1924, most of the atlases have been loaned to the Maritime Museum in Amsterdam. The collection of sea, coast and river maps forms by far the largest part of the archive. The map collection is smaller in size and contains maps of Europe and the other continents. The archive is complemented with a number of maps for a specific purpose, such as military, water and statistical maps. Stellar and physical maps, as well as wind and power maps, are also part of the archive..,

Introduction Repository 69, maritime matters, was created in 1781, in particular for the archives created by the development of maritime law during the naval war (1778-1783) between England and its allies France, Spain and, at times, the Netherlands as a result of the American War of Independence, under the Secret Council. Among other things, Prussia played a role in these conflicts in that it formed a league of neutral states under the leadership of Russia together with Denmark, Sweden, Portugal, Austria and at times the Netherlands. The participating states were united with Russia through bilateral conventions on "armed maritime neutrality" (for Prussia Convention of 19 May 1781). The initiative was mainly directed against the search of neutral ships for counter gangs. Probably before 1877 larger parts of the holdings were distributed to other repositories, among other things the files on consular matters in the holdings at that time were transferred to Reposituren I. HA Secret Council, Rep. 9 General Administration and Rep. 11 External Relations. In Rep. 69 only a part of the archival documents of importance for armed maritime neutrality remained. This processing status was recorded in the Red Book vol. IV. In connection with maritime neutrality and shipping matters, the following stocks are also referred to: - I. HA Secret Council, Rep. 9 General Administration, Lit. L Appropriations and Lit. Z Appropriations of Residents and Agents; - I. HA Secret Council, Rep. 11 Foreign Relations, in particular: No. 171 - 175 Moscow (Russia), No. 118 Maritime Neutrality 1781 - 1784, Fasz. A-E No. 66 - 70 Denmark, No. 73 Fasz. C (Ministerial Correspondence with Envoy Bismarck) - I. HA, Rep. 96 Secret Civil Cabinet, Older Period, No. 22 Lit. G (Correspondence with Prussian Envoy Bismarck in Denmark) No. 41 Lit. E-I and No. 42 Lit. A-B (same with Thulemeier in The Hague) No. 103 Lit. E-I (Briefwechsel Friedrichs II. mit der dänischen Königin Juliane Marie) No. 110 P, Vol. II. (Schriftwechsel Friedrichs II. mit Kaiserin Katharina II. von Rußland) No. 202 Lit. A-I (fernere Immediatberichte) No. 424 H (Proposal for a Trade Agreement with Russia) - II. HA Directorate-General, Dept. 3 Department General, Tit. XXVI Foreign Affairs - II. HA General Directorate, Dept. 21 East Frisia, Title LXXII Shipping Matters - I. HA Privy Council, Rep. 11 Treaties, No. 332, 335, 869 (Treaty with Sweden of 1782). The remaining Rep. 69, maritime neutrality and shipping matters, essentially comprises correspondence on dealing with the warring states and on implementing the declarations on maritime neutrality. The following contents are primarily handed down: - issue of sea passes for the identification of Prussian merchant ships (court sea passes were issued by the Department of Foreign Affairs, in contrast to simple sea passes issued by the magistrates and subordinate colleges) - annual submission of ship lists about the stay of Prussian ships in foreign ports by consuls there (usually only the reports for submitting the ship lists are still available). The stock comprises 0.5 linear metres, or 60 archive units and a duration of 20 years (1778 - 1798). During the processing the two foreign archive units found here were classified into the I. HA Secret Council, Rep. 7 B West Prussia. The reference slips have been combined to form the indexing unit no. 60, which is currently stored in the outer magazine and can be ordered as follows: I. HA GR, Rep. 69, No... and to quote: GStA PK, I. HA Privy Council, Rep. 69 Maritime neutrality and shipping matters, No...
