Archival history
The present estate of the parliamentarian and mayor of Berlin, Maximilian (Max) von Forckenbeck, was transferred in several accessions to the Secret State Archives of Prussian Cultural Heritage. The first part (no. 68-106) was handed over in 1925 (exc. 27/1925) to the Secret State Archives of Mrs. Liesbeth v. Forckenbeck (née Hagen) and the second part in 1926 (no. 114 and no. 107-109) also from the Forckenbeck family from Berlin as a deposit (exc. 191/1926). In the year 1926 (Akz. 259/1926) the lawyer Walter von Simson from Berlin deposited the numbers 110-112 and 115 (?) in the GSTA. In the year 1977 (Akz. 49/1977) then the numbers 1- 67 of the at that time in Dahlem under the signature X. Hauptabteilung (HA) Rep. 16 A Nr. 18 by Mr. Gerhard Küchler (1905-1992) from Berlin with the reservation of offering a first publication to the Landesgeschichtliche Vereinigung für die Mark Brandenburg. Number 113 was annexed to the estate in 1950. <br /><br />The content of the estate is more like that of a family archive, since it also contains larger records of the grandfather Maximilian (senior) Bernhard Maria (1749-1820), the father Franz (senior) (1796-1849), the wife Marie (1831-1876), the son Franz (junior) (1857-1922) and older family papers. In the correspondence series Maximilian von Forckenbecks jun., Forckenbeck's concepts of outgoing letters are partly also present. <br /><br />Some files (No. 2, 3, 5, 15, 17, 19-21, 41, 68, and 74) show old water damage. These files are locked until the restoration is completed. <br /><br />In the revision carried out in Merseburg in 1950, the following three numbers were missing from the estate: <br />- A No. 7a "Mennonite Matters, mostly 1869". The content without folder has meanwhile been published in Archivale VIII. HA Slg Prussia No. 19 found. The empty folder No. 7a was in the estate with the inscription "empty". However, the folder contained letters which are more in line with the content of the other missing number B No. 8, as there is no reference to Mennonites. These found letters now bear the order number 115. In the name register of the old finding aid book, some of the more important correspondence partners previously contained in B No. 8 are listed. However, these are not in the found folder; the correspondence partners of the found pieces are also not mentioned in the register. <br />- B No. 8 "Presidium of the Chamber of Deputies; numerous letters from ministers, 1869-1873". Part of it may now be No. 115. <br />- B No. 12 telegrams. The telegrams are still missing and were not found in the current estate processing. <br /><br />The finding aid with the distortion of the earlier numbers I. HA Rep. 92 Forckenbeck A 1-11 and B 1-13 was compiled by Ludwig Dehio. The original editor of the archives X. HA Rep. 16 A No. 18 Forckenbeck No. 1-67 could no longer be determined. <br /><br />With the introduction of the new tectonics in the GStA PK, the formerly known as I. HA Rep. 92 and X. HA Rep. 92 were introduced. HA Rep. 16 A No. 18, Forckenbeck's estate was incorporated into the newly formed VI. main department of family archives and estates in 2001. <br /><br />The database entry was done by Ms. Pistiolis. The undersigned unified and interlocked the two legacy drawings by assigning an overall classification, the technical editing of the magazine and the creation of the foreword. For the sake of simplicity, the part with the earlier signatures A1-B13 was renumbered after serial numbers in the present estate processing and added numerically to the former Dahlem part from No. 68 onwards.
