Formation history: After the army had undergone an enormous enlargement as a result of the constitution of the German Reich, an army inspection was formed for three to four army corps together. In 1877 the V. Army Inspection was set up in Karlsruhe. Grand Duke Frederick I of Baden was appointed General Inspector in his capacity as Colonel General of the Cavalry and was responsible for the XIV, XV and XVI Army Corps. By 1913, the number of inspections had increased from four to eight. The general inspectors were intended to lead the armies to be deployed in the event of war. In peacetime, they only had the right to inspect the army corps subordinated to them. Since they lacked the command over the assigned commanding generals of the army corps, they also had no military staffs. When the war broke out in 1914, the V Army Inspectorate in Karlsruhe was headed by Grand Duke Friedrich II of Baden as Colonel General with the rank of Field Marshal General. The V Army Inspectorate was assigned the VIII, XIV and XV Army Corps at the outbreak of war. Inventory history: After the end of the war, the files remained in the area of the XIV Army Corps. From January 1920, the establishment of an archive of the XIV Army Corps was begun, in which the archives of the settlement agencies were brought together. In autumn 1920 the corps archive moved to the infantry barracks in Heilbronn. From January 1921, the Corps Archives entered the portfolio of the Reich Ministry of the Interior under the name Aktenverwaltung XIV, before being incorporated into the Reichsarchiv in Potsdam as the Heilbronn archive branch on April 1, 1921. As a result of the merger of the Heilbronn and Stuttgart branches of the Reich Archives, the holdings were transferred to Stuttgart in 1924. The Württembergische Archivdirektion, which took over the administration of the holdings of the Army Archives Stuttgart after the end of the Second World War, handed over the XIV Army Corps to the General State Archive Karlsruhe in the years 1947 to 1949. A very detailed history of the holdings is contained in the foreword of the Deputy General Command of the XIV Army Corps (holdings 456 F 8). 22 fascicles with a circumference of 0.30 linear metres are included in the holdings.

Preliminary remark on the retroconversion of the finding aids: At the time of the retroconversion two typewritten repertories were available:1) The files handed down by the administrative department of the Württemberg War Ministry were recorded in 1944 under the direction of Army Archives Director Dr. Hermann Pantlen. The title recordings of the finding aid book preserved from the Heeresarchiv Stuttgart have been transferred unchanged into EDP during the retroconversion. 2) The business diaries in inventory M 1/4 were recorded in 1975 by Dr. Joachim Fischer and Wilhelm Westenfelder. The foreword and foreword of the two find books are reproduced in the following.Stuttgart, July 2008Dr. Wolfgang Mährle 1. The Administrative Department - Files (foreword to the find book 1944): The files of Department B (Administrative Department) were taken over mainly with the remaining files of the Württ War Ministry. Subsequent additions are made:1923by Landesfinanzamt Stuttgart: Files of the former Intendantur XIII. army corps and Württ. war ministry22.11.1936by Heeresarchiv Potsdam: 22 issues Files of the Württ. war ministry (Remonteangelegenheiten)27.04.1937by Landesfinanzamt Stuttgart: 45 bundles of files of the Württ. war ministry (Verwaltungs-/Waffenabteilung and Intendantur XIII.., XIV Army Corps)The archive directory was compiled on 11.12.1931 by today's government inspector Beiermeister and confirmed by the then head of the Reichsarchiv branch, Oberarchivrat von Haldenwang.The repertorisation took place in the years 1942/43 by the then Heeresarchivrat Knoch with the aid of the employee Kohler; in the interest of uniformity, the work Knoch was revised by the undersigned at the end of 1943 and in the first half of 1944, again with the aid of the employee Kohler, and the person and subject index was established with the aid of the employee Landau.In the case of the latter work (establishment of the indices), it was disadvantageous that the files were already stored on a decentralised basis for reasons of air-raid protection, i.e. that the checks resulting from such work could no longer be carried out.The files are not complete. Organizational overviews and business divisions have not been removed, as they have already been compiled into one volume (Württ. War Ministry, Business Divisions) and were no longer present in the files.Heads of Administrative Department B (until 1899 Economics Department) were:Major General von Wundt (later War Minister)09.08.1871 - 23.03.1874Wirkl. Geheimkriegsrat von Mand24.03.1874 - 06.08.1878Wirkl. Geheimkriegsrat von Horion07.08.1878 - 14.12.1900Wirkl. Privy Councillor of Schäfer15.12.1900 - 22.11.1906Wirkl.

The Administrative Department - Business Diaries (preliminary remark to the 1975 Findbuch): The business diaries of Department A are not recorded in the repertory of the Heeresarchiv Stuttgart for holdings M 1/4 (War Ministry - Department A), which was completed in 1944. The necessary order and distortion of the 287 volumes (11.5 linear metres), to which the journals of the Corps veterinarian XIII Army Corps (cf. volumes 269 and 270) remain assigned, was therefore carried out in 1972 by the contract employee Westenfelder under the supervision of the Oberstaatsarchivrat Dr. Fischer.Stuttgart, in February 1975Fischer
