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

History of the authorities: The organisational rescript of 26 November 1809 divided the Grand Duchy of Baden into ten districts, named after mountains and rivers, with so-called district directorates as administrative authorities, following the example of France. The following circles emerged in the Sprengel of today's Freiburg State Archives:Directorate of the Lake District based in Constance1809-1832Directorate of the Danube District based in Villingen1819 abolished and assigned to the Lake District; only the offices of Hornberg and Triberg were transferred to the KinzigkreisDirektorium des Wiesenkreises with its seat in Lörrach1815 and completely assigned to the DreisamkreisDirektorium des Dreisamkreis with its seat in Freiburg1809-1832Direktorium des Kinzigkreis with its seat in Offenburg1809-1832A district director stood at the head of each directorate, who was assisted by a district council for the legal and state police as well as for the state economic sphere of responsibility. At the beginning, the business circle of the district directorates included the administration of civil law, supervisory activities in the financial and school administration, police tasks and the cultivation of agriculture.1832 the district directorates, which had meanwhile been reduced to six, were replaced by four district governments based in Constance (Seekreis), Freiburg (Oberrheinkreis), Rastatt (Mittelrheinkreis) and Mannheim (Unterrheinkreis). Inventory history: In the course of the inventory exchange from the General State Archive Karlsruhe in the years 2000 and 2002, the State Archive Freiburg received a total of 75.60 linear metres of files in four deliveries, which had previously been integrated into pertinence inventories there. Since August 1, 2002, Bettina Fürderer, a doctoral student, has been working part-time under the supervision of an archivist and has started to create provenance-compliant holdings for the files of accesses 2000/68, 2002/50 and 2002/57. The files of the first access 2000/40 had already been processed at an earlier point in time. Since the end of 2007 the work begun by Bettina Fürderer has been continued by the undersigned. Order and directory work: The structure of the general records was largely based on the pre-Fackler registry order from the 19th century. In addition to files without a local reference, general files also include files that have been created for a single subject for several municipalities or that concern an entire administrative district. The local files were structured according to the Baden official registration order of 1905 by H. Fackler (see below), but without the Roman and Arabic numerals used there, whereby the subdivision planned for individual main points was almost always dispensed with due to the small number of file books. The municipalities are listed alphabetically. For each municipality the respective district is indicated, namely according to today's state, abbreviated with the code letters of the motor vehicles, and with today no more independent municipalities additionally the name of the new municipality. In the case of files with more than ten sheets of paper, "1 fasc." was initially indicated as the circumference; at a later stage of indexing, this was then indicated in centimetres (cm). Freiburg, December 2009 E. KriegThe holdings have been continuously supplemented since 2009 by files of the Wiesenkreisdirektorium found in the district and district office holdings. It now comprises 132 fascicles and measures 4 lfd.m.Freiburg, March 2015 Dr. Christof Strauß

The stand E 905/1 was originally named "Forstamt Donaueschingen" and was renamed "Forstämter" in March 2016. He not only recorded the files of the Donaueschingen Forestry Office, but also all documents of individual B-Series and E-Series forest holdings in the Freiburg State Archives. This is in line with the basic strategy of the State Archives of Freiburg to merge small and small holdings into collections that are clear and easy to use for users. In this context, the following stocks have been integrated into stock E 905/1:B 1147/1; B 1149/1; B 1149/2; B 1153/1; B 1153/2; B 1154/1; B 1157/1; B 1158/1; B 1159/1; B 1159/2; B 1160/1; B 1166/1; B 1168/1; B 1171/1; B 1171/2; B 1173/1; B 1175/1; B 1179/1; B 1179/2; B 1183/1; B 1188/1; B 1191/1; B 1195/1; B 1201/1; B 1206/2; B 1209/1; B 1210/1; B 1212/1; B 1215/1; B 1216/1; B 1220/1; B 1239/1; E 911/1; E 914/1; E 919/1; E 919/2; E 919/3; E 922/1; E 923/1; E 924/1; E 926/1; E 940/1; E 944/1; E 947/1; E 950/1; E 950/2.Since the beginning of the 19th century, the organisation of forestry in Baden has been subject to numerous organisational changes, of which only one should be mentioned briefly for reasons of comprehensibility of the names of the authorities. Since the beginning of the 1830s, both district forest offices and forestry offices have existed on the lower administrative level, with the Sprengel of a forest office each consisting of several district forest offices. At the end of the 19th century, the district forest offices were renamed forestry offices. The forestry offices that had existed since the 1830s in their role as superior authorities had already been abolished. The following terminology was selected for the distortion: If a district forest office later developed from a district forest office, the name forest office was chosen, even if files of the provenance district forest office are available in the appropriate subdivision point. Individual foreign provenances, such as documents from domain administrations or tax offices, are mostly to be regarded as previous files and have been left in the inventory. 40 district forest offices and forest offices as well as one forest inspection and one forest accounting each are combined in this inventory. The mass of documents covers the period from the beginning of the 19th century to the beginning of the 1950s. Regardless of the numerous registration layers, attempts were made to apply a comparatively uniform classification scheme for the records:- Initially, the documents were allocated to the respective forestry offices on the basis of provenance - as far as practicable. The designation of the respective forestry office then also forms the first component of each title record - followed by the (contemporary) division into one of the four main file groups as a second component in the title records: 1. general or 2. domains or 3. community and body forests (sometimes also community, corporate and private forests) or 4. private forests. The third component is the (contemporary) file rubric, i.e. "Forstpolitik" or "Forststrafrecht", which is followed by the actual title entry, sometimes supplemented by information in brackets, after the hyphen. the system thus chosen allows for a maximum of clarity, irrespective of the heterogeneity of the documents. the inventory E 905/1 comprises 2857 fascicles and measures 36.5 lfd.m.
