Preface: Johannes Christoph Ferdinand Lippert was born on 07.08.1875 in Sulzbach-Rosenberg as one of six children. In 1906 he married Elisabeth Serr in Germersheim (Palatinate). Hans Lippert was head of the Donauwörth Agricultural Office from 1925 to 1938. During these years he has been extraordinarily involved in the history of his homeland and from 1930 he was chairman of the Historical Association for Donauwörth and the surrounding area. During this time, he mainly took up a wealth of motifs in his Sprengel, which make up the unique value of the so-called Lippert picture collection. In 1938, Lippert resigned from the Gleichschaltung des Historischen Vereins. After his move to Fürth, he worked for many years as a volunteer in the local city archive and in the state archive of Nuremberg (e.g. state archive of Nuremberg, holdings: Reichsstadt Nürnberg, Losungsamt, city accounting records) (friendly note from Mr. Erich Hofgärtner). He lived until his childless death in Fürth (Königswarterstraße 72) and died as a retired Oberregierungsbaurat on 01.08.1961 in Fürth (Jakob-Henle-Straße 1). His will of 10 April 1939 does not contain any dispositions regarding his collection of pictures. The estate file is archived in the Nuremberg State Archives (District Court Fürth VI 843/1961; friendly note from Mrs. Magerla, Nuremberg State Archives). The image collection comprises a total of 2,431 photographs of all types of buildings, including interior and exterior views, mainly from the Donauwörth district. The main holdings of 1884 objects were taken over by the Augsburg State Archives in 1992 (Archivalienzugangsbuch-Nr.: 36/1992) and in 1993 (Archivalienzugangsbuch-Nr.: 14/1993) from the Land- und Universitätsbauamt Augsburg. In addition, the Donauwörth City Archives have a smaller collection of 547 objects, some of which are interlinked with those of the Augsburg State Archives. The photographs kept in the city archives became the property of the Historical Association for Donauwörth and its Surroundings, whose chairman Lippert was until 1938. The Augsburg State Archives took over the collection in 1992 and 1993, which is kept in a specially made wooden cabinet. After an initial review by Dr. Gerhard Hetzer, Bernhard Stadler and Simon Lutz (the latter formerly employed by the Landbauamt Donauwörth), handwritten lists for determining the motifs of the negatives were drawn up in addition to an already existing older list of slides. Mr. Richard Helfrich then numbered the photographs from 1 to 3202 without separating them into different series (narrow, typewritten stickers), with the slides retaining their old numbers, noted in pencil on the originals in one corner. The old parchment bags of the negatives, which are provided with explanatory inscriptions or contain enclosed loose labels, only partially carried older numbers. The numbering was done in view of a security filming in the Herrmann und Kraemer GmbH u. Co KG laboratory in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Prior to the security filming, Mr. Simon Lutz, in consultation with Dr. Seitz, the official board member, removed the originals numbered by Mr. Helfrich, No. 2366 to 2999, from the picture collection, as they did not belong to it (mainly photographs of persons). In the laboratory, the image collection was divided into two groups for technical reasons: Negatives or Series A (1096 objects) Contains original glass plate negatives (format 13 x 18 cm, 9 x 11.5 cm, 6.5 x 9 cm), original film negatives (6 x 8.5 cm), negative duplicates (10.5 x 14.5 cm) and photographic prints (10.5 x 14.5 cm). Slides or Series B (759 objects) Contains original glass plate slides (format 9 x 12 cm), negative duplicates (10.5 x 14.5 cm) and photo prints (10.5 x 14.5 cm). The negative duplicates and photo prints were placed in a glassine bag in the laboratory with the originals; the bags were labeled with the order number (= order number) in the upper left corner with a black pen. In the Augsburg State Archives, the negative duplicates and photo prints (for submission to users) were separated from the originals by working students and provided with sub-numbers, since the older parchment bags often contained several originals. The trainees created, separately according to the formats of the originals, with typewriter several directories. In 2004, Florian Anton Kofler used the Excel program to record the holdings of the Augsburg State Archives and the Donauwörth City Archives on behalf of the Swabian District. Mr. Kofler also listed some older photo prints from the remaining disordered appendix (negatives on film strips as well as older photo prints) of the picture collection, for which a small series C (so far 29 objects) was formed. Mr. Kofler has kindly left his data records to the Augsburg State Archives, on the basis of which, after importing them into the Faust database program, the following finding aids with registers could be created: - Augsburg State Archives, Donauwörth Land Construction Office, Lippert Picture Collection. This archive stock has been added to the finding aids database. - Donauwörth City Archive, Historical Society, Lippert Picture Collection. This find book is located in the Augsburg State Archives as an external repertory. In addition, two files in the inventory LANDBAUAMT DONAUWÖRTH are to be referred to: J 63: Heimatschutz und Denkmalpflege with 36 photos, 1935-1940.

Preliminary remark: Karl Hein was born on 20 February 1901 in Frankfurt/Main. After passing the one-year voluntary examination, he joined the Royal Prussian Railway Administration in Frankfurt in 1916, where he was initially employed in field service at railway stations and offices as well as in telegraph and radio service. In 1927 he won a prize at the 4th International Telegraph Competition in Como and obtained the Funkpatent I in Berlin. Great. From 1934 to 1941, he was responsible for drawing up express train timetables and bus traffic on Reichsautobahnen in the timetable department of the Reichsbahn Directorate in Frankfurt. Between 1941 and 1945 he organized the Wehrmacht vacation traffic and courier services at the Reich Ministry of Transport in Berlin. Immediately after World War II, Karl Hein was employed as a travel official at the Frankfurt regional office of the United States Zone in connection with U.S. Railway stations (Railway Grand Divisions and Second Military Railway Service), where he was responsible for rebuilding rail traffic. From 1947 until his retirement in 1964, he was employed in the operations department of the Head Office of the Railways (HVE), later the Head Office of the German Federal Railways (HVB), from 1947 until his retirement in 1964, and from 1948 as head of their travel agency. In this function, Karl Hein had the task of organising and supervising train journeys for high-ranking personalities, in particular heads of state and members of government, at home and abroad. Since he took part in these special train journeys himself, he came into personal contact with almost everything that had rank and name in the Federal Republic of the 50s. Among others he accompanied Theodor Heuss, Heinrich Lübke, Konrad Adenauer, Ludwig Erhard, Charles de Gaulle, Schah Reza Pahlevi, Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi, Alcide de Gasperi, Emperor Haile Selassie I. of Ethiopia, King Paul I. of Greece, Archbishop Makarios, etc.The highlight of his career was undoubtedly his participation in Adenauer's trip to Moscow in 1955, which resulted in the establishment of diplomatic relations between Bonn and Moscow and the release of the German prisoners of war. For his work he received numerous awards, such as the Federal Cross of Merit and Officer's Crosses of Orders in Italy, Greece, Madagascar and Liberia. Karl Hein collected numerous memorabilia on his travels, especially postcards and photos, but also file material, invitation cards, travel programs etc. and kept them carefully, partly glued on photo cardboard and inscribed. This collection was donated by his daughter Lydia von Prondzynski, Bad Oberdorf, to the Ludwigsburg State Archives in 1991. It documents not only a special piece of railway history at a time when trains were still travelling as "rolling embassies" of statesmen through documents about technical details of the trains looked after by Karl Hein and about the condition of the routes travelled, but also allows a charming look behind the scenes of major state visits.The present stock PL 718, which comprises 0.4 linear m = 15 archive units, was ordered and indexed by the undersigned in February 1991. The computer-aided fair copy of the repertory was obtained by Hildegard Aufderklamm.Ludwigsburg, March 1991Leuchweis

The N11 collection of Mintman's estate comprises 169 units of indexation with a total duration from 1863 to 1975. It probably reached the Kleve district archives shortly after the death of the estate of Ludwig Mintman (1884-1975) and was incorporated into the old collection E here. Groups were formed and provided with the signatures E6 to E34. An exact list of the old index can be found in the registry of the district archives under the file number 41 22 14 02. Since this first indexing was only a rough sorting with however very exact single sheet indexing, the present reorganization and new indexing was carried out, which permits a systematic access to the stock with the help of a classification. In addition, a search via keywords is possible. During the reorganization, cash was also collected, especially newspapers and newspaper cuttings. In addition some photos and death slips were taken and arranged with origin note into the appropriate collections, namely into F3 photo collection of the circle archives Kleve, S6 death slips collection and S16 prayer mission Primiz pictures. The estate consists or consisted mainly of books. Those with historical or local references were incorporated into the library of the district archives immediately after the inheritance was taken over at the end of the 1970s. A list of these books unfortunately does not exist. However, all volumes were marked with a stamp "Nachlass Mintmans". The largest part of the estate consists of textbooks or books related to pedagogy and didactics. These were grouped together, e.g. according to subjects. In addition, the estate also contains personal papers and private items, as well as extensive notes on the genealogy of various Aldekerk families, elaborations for teaching and drafts for the chronicle of Aldekerk as well as articles for the Aldekerk Heimatblatt and the Geldrische Heimatkalen-der. Ludwig Mintmans was born on 17 March 1884 at the Vennekels- and Mintmanshof in Kengen, Rheurdt municipality, Moers district as the only son of the married couple Jakob Mintmans and Anna Petronella née Jörris. After his discharge from primary school, he first attended the Präparandenanstalt in Krefeld, then the Lehrerseminar in Kempen from 1903 to 1906. After passing the 1st apprenticeship examination in July 1906, he became a teacher at the elementary school in Aldekerk. At first he received only a temporary employment, but after passing the 2nd apprenticeship examination in October 1909 he was permanently employed. At the same time he headed the vocational school in Aldekerk. After the end of the Second World War, Mr. Mintmans was reinstated into the school service in December 1945, from which he retired on 23 March 1948. The personal file of Ludwig Mintman is in inventory A under the signature KA Kle A 24. Further information about him and his teaching activities can be found in the following files: KA Kle A 106, KA Kle A 267, KA Kle B 417. On 13 June 1911 Ludwig Mintmans married Katharina Dese-laers, born on the Bermeshof in Vernum. The two had four children: Ludwig (7.7.1912), Adele (24.4.1914), Jakob (4.3.1917) and Heinrich (4.5.1921). Mrs. Mintmans died in May 1967. Ludwig Mintmans devoted his entire life to the history of his homeland, especially to researching the history of his hometown Aldekerk. So he wrote a chronicle for the parish Aldekerk, designed the coat of arms for the parish Aldekerk, took care of the dialect care and was co-founder of the Heimatverein, in which he received the honorary membership for his 80th birthday. Ludwig Mintmans published the following articles in the Geldrisches Heimatkalender: GHK 1953, p. 69ff: Das Rittergut Palings GHK 1955, p. 27ff: Haus- und Hofmarken GHK 1956, p. 110ff: Buttermilch und Flötekäs.

Finding aids: Findbuch 2007 (online searchable) Registraturbildner: Until the administrative reform of 1932, the forestry administration in Anhalt belonged to the department of the Mittelbehörde Finanzdirektion (Finance Directorate), established in 1874. At that time, the forest district administrations of Dessau, Haideburg, Sollnitz, Rossdorf, Nedlitz, Coswig, Serno, Aderstedt, Gernrode, Harzgerode, Güntersberge, Wörlitz and Lindau were subordinated to it. With the First Ordinance on the Transformation and Simplification of Administration of 4 July 1932, the central authorities were dissolved and their tasks transferred to five newly created departments of the Dessau State Ministry, the highest state authority. Initially, Sub-Division C of the Finance Department was responsible for the State Forestry Administration. In 1936, as a result of shifts in duties between the Finance Department and the Economics Department, the name of the subdivision changed from C to B. The forest administrations formerly subordinated to the Finance Directorate were now subordinated to this department. In the twenties of the twentieth century, the majority of forest district administrations had received the designation "Staatsoberförsterei" (State Forester's Office), apparently depending on the size of their area of responsibility and the qualification of the respective leader. Subdivision C, or later B, was immediately renamed "Anhaltisches Staatsministerium, Abteilung Finanzen, Landesforstverwaltung". The former forest district administrations became Anhalt Forestry Offices, which were responsible in their area for several district forest rangers and partly also for forest wardens. In 1937 the state forestry offices Nedlitz, Coswig, Serno, Dessau, Haideburg, Sollnitz, Aderstedt, Gernrode, Harzgerode and Güntersberge as well as the foundation districts of the Theater- und Joachim-Ernst-Stiftung (forestry offices Wörlitz, Roßdorf and Lindau) were subordinated to the "Department of Finance, State Forest Administration". On the basis of an agreement between the Herzogliche Treuhandverwaltung and the Anhaltisches Staatsministerium dated 24 December 1928, the latter had been transferred to state administration on 1 January 1929. The structure thus remained essentially unchanged until the end of the Second World War in 1945. The Dessau District Forestry Office, established in 1945, is to be regarded as the successor authority to the State Forestry Administration. Inventory information: In the 50s, 60s and 90s of the 20th century, the Oranienbaum State Archive took over numerous files from various Anhalt forestry authorities, including the Anhalt State Forestry Administration. The stock was formed in 1999 by new distortions. The files that had already been opened up were included in the archive holdings "Z 117-7 Finanzdirektion. Forest Matters 2" and are still included in it today. The source tradition of the Anhalt Forestry Administration and its subordinate forestry authorities, in contrast to that of other Anhalt authorities from the Nazi period, is relatively extensive. On the basis of the available documents, information on general changes in the Anhalt authority organisation, on personnel and settlement policy (creation of Reichsheimstätten), on the increased use of voluntary labour service and prisoners of war in forestry or on the acquisition of forest areas by the Reichswehrmachtfiskus for the expansion of military sites during this period can be traced. Additional information: The above-mentioned cards are contained in file units or have been removed from them for conservation reasons. Cards included: 35 Photos included: 12

Find aids: Findbuch 1982 (online searchable) Registraturbilddner: Staatsministerien als obererste Verwaltungsbehörden entstanden in den anhaltischen Teilfürstentümern als Folge der Revolution von 1848 und per Verordnung vom 5. April 1848, die eine dreistufige Staatsverwaltung ein eingeleitetitete. After the attack of the Bernburg Line on Anhalt-Dessau-Köthen in 1863, the former State Ministries of Dessau and Bernburg formed the State Ministry of Dessau on 13 September 1863. The Anhalt state ministries were formally responsible for all departments as higher authorities with "directing, ordering, supervising and executive power". There was no division into individual ministries. For the execution of certain specialist tasks, the governments and their specialist departments were subordinated to them as intermediate authorities, which in turn subordinated the district directorates as subordinate authorities. The separation of the judiciary and administration at all levels has been achieved through the establishment of specific judicial authorities. With the loss of the independence of the Länder and the establishment of the Reich Governor for Braunschweig and Anhalt, the State Ministry lost importance. When, after the end of the war, the old state of Anhalt was first incorporated into the province and then into the state of Saxony-Anhalt, a state ministry became obsolete as the highest authority. The tasks of the various ministerial departments, insofar as they were not directly assumed by the provincial government in Halle, were transferred to the newly formed central authority of the Dessau district administration. Inventory information: Most of the files were transferred to the Zerbst State Archives between 1923 and 1935, where they were filed under Rep. 9. Additional information: The filming took place as part of the GDR backup filming (so-called Fercher films). Cards included: 11 Photos included: 65
