Tradition: The Großherzogliche Badische Baugewerkeschule was founded in 1878. Since 1919 it was called "Badisches Staatstechnikum" or "Badische Höhere Technische Lehranstalt (Staatstechnikum)" (1923), since 1946 "Staatstechnikum Karlsruhe", since 1963 "Staatliche Ingenieurschule Karlsruhe", since 1971 "Fachhochschule Karlsruhe - Hochschule für Technik"; in 2005 it was renamed "Hochschule Karlsruhe - Technik und Wirtschaft". In contrast to the architecture department of the Polytechnic University, the drawing examination papers of the students of construction trades were kept at the school. As far as the documents were not collected by the school administration - especially in the period after about 1970 - an extensive, largely coherent set of plans has been preserved. It was handed over to the General State Archives in 1999 together with a transfer list in Access format, and more recent work was added in 2004. In the archive, the entire holdings were signed, packaged and re-registered by the ladies Mohd, Hummel and Vogt, the list of consignments was edited and converted into 'scopeArchiv' in 2012. The variety of query options (by building type, drawing technique, etc.) was retained in 'scopeArchiv' in a field visible only to the archive staff and in the source file (Access).a few privately owned student works that came to the General State Archive with the Thomas Kellner Collection in 2006 were incorporated; the drawing portfolio of Franz Kühn for the years 1934 to 1937 is now available as a sample portfolio for all subjects at the end of the student works.Further student works, which were delivered together with files of the building department also in 2004 - among them e.g. building photographs of Black Forest farms of the excursion of 1937 -, are recorded in inventory GLA 592 Access 2004-69. Some building photographs of monuments from this convoy were probably inadvertently taken over into the general plan inventory GLA 424 K. Plans (blueprints) of the Karlsruhe City Planning Office for the redesign of the Market Square from 1974 were submitted to the City Archive. Content: The approximately 100-year-old tradition conveys the teaching methods of drawing and the architectural expectations of the time between historicism and modernism and is thus an outstanding source for the transformation of technology, architectural aesthetics and reception behaviour over the social ruptures of the 20th century. Probably the most valuable part, almost half of the total stock, is taken up by the plans from the subjects of construction survey and design; the names of the subjects changed in the process. The annual publications of the Baugewerkeschule, such as the "design of bourgeois residential buildings" by the construction students or the recording of "patriotic monuments" in the whole of Baden by the prospective trade teachers, show that the focus here was on the core of teaching at least until 1914; part of the semester and holiday work was thus published promptly in large-format volumes (cf. the incomplete series in the library of the General State Archives, Cw 8102ff, 1885-1914 and individual proof pages, together with pages from architecture and engineering textbooks, as an appendix in fonds 592 K). In the 1920s, industrial and functional buildings came to the fore. During National Socialism, the main focus of interest was on the design of housing estates, and in the cataloguing of architectural monuments almost exclusively farmhouses in the Black Forest and in Baden's Franconia region; these architectural photographs are of particular value as historical architectural sources (a photo in No. 1581 shows members of one of the 1937 field trips to take a picture of a farm). But also the registration of e.g. Karlsruhe city centre buildings, which were destroyed during and after the Second World War, or the systematic mapping of Überlingen town houses in 1935 are important and so far almost unknown architectural inventory achievements. In the post-war period, photographs of buildings appeared almost exclusively as part of general drawing lessons; interior designs were added in the 1960s. All in all, the student works provide a good insight into the "tempo" of style change and architectural convention, precisely because of their dependence on current teaching and building practice. Photographs of architectural monuments on Lake Constance by the Constance photographer German Wolf from the years around 1900 form a separate group. They are testimonies to early monuments inventory, in the context of the building photographs perhaps as a model or as material for teaching. In contrast, photographs of plans whose originals were missing - mostly montages on large cardboard boxes from the 1960/1970s - remained in the main inventory. Drawing templates and other foreign materials were summarised, plans such as photos, which had gotten between the pupils' work as teaching aids; they can now be found at the end of the collection, as far as they could not be collected as duplicates. Access database: The database of the University of Applied Sciences will continue to be maintained as it allows further access to the stock due to its sorting possibilities, but does not have the same text status as the available finding aids data. Special mention should be made of the sorting according to "object groups":Sacral buildings (1)Public buildings (2)Residential buildings (3)Agricultural buildings (4)Others (5).The encryption "Type of execution" can also be used for exhibition preparations: Technical - black-and-white1Technical - colored2Artistic - black-and-white3Artistic - colored4. For the archive personnel, text parts can be queried in the data field "internal archive remarks", so that a selection according to these criteria is also possible in 'scopArchive'. Examples are "Item group: 1 (sacral buildings)" and "Type of construction: 1 (technical, black and white)".

History of authorities and traditions: On the basis of the social legislation of the Reich, an "Insurance Institution for Invalidity and Old Age Insurance" was founded in Karlsruhe on 2 June 1890 for the Grand Duchy of Baden, which shortly afterwards received the name "Landesversicherungsanstalt Baden". Until its move to the Beiertheimer Feld, it had its headquarters in the specially erected administrative building Kaiserallee 8 (today owned by the city administration). With up to 8 of its own sanatoriums and supervision of the insurance offices (at the district offices) and higher insurance offices (Constance, Freiburg, Karlsruhe, Mannheim), the LVA became one of the most important control and monitoring bodies in the field of medical care and social insurance. During the 2nd World War the LVA was also responsible for occupied Alsace. On 1 January 2005, it was merged with the LVA Württemberg to form the LVA Baden-Württemberg with its registered office in Karlsruhe. The former Landesversicherungsamt Baden, which had already been established in 1888 as an appeal authority for controversial health insurance issues and was dissolved in 1936, is to be distinguished from the Landesversicherungsanstalt; the competences were transferred to the higher insurance offices and the social courts respectively. In the General State Archives, however, the files of these two different provenances were given the common stock signature 462. The files of the Landesversicherungsamt therefore now form the basic stock 462 and the access 1980-50 (both previously inventoried in a paper repertory), while the administrative files of the Landesversicherungsanstalt are to be found only in the present access 1994-38. In addition to personnel files and files on the Hirschlanden sanatorium (access 1992-50), all other accesses mainly consist of exemplary archived individual case files of the Landesversicherungsanstalt. Inventory history: The access was evaluated in 1994 by archive officers under the guidance of Dr. Jürgen Treffeisen and recorded by volunteers under the guidance of Dr. Peter Rückert. It reflects almost the entire administrative action of an institution under public law, both internally and externally. However, the tradition only begins densely after the First World War; for the period before that, the multiple parallel tradition of the State Insurance Office can be used in some cases. The final editing was done by the undersigned. The access includes 551 fascicles in 10 running meters. The longest blocking period runs until 2045.Karlsruhe, August 2005Konrad Krimm
