History of the Inventory Designer: Alfred Rosenberg, who had been one of Adolf Hitler's close collaborators since the beginnings of the National Socialist movement, united - especially since 1929/30 - a wealth of political offices and functions in his hand. In order to be able to carry out all the tasks assigned to him, Rosenberg, since his appointment as head of the Foreign Policy Office of the NSDAP (APA) in April 1933, made use of a private secretariat headed by Thilo von Trotha (b. 12.04.1909, d. 24.02.1938), who was also responsible for the North Division of the APA. In April 1934, by order of the Reich Treasurer, von Trothas, initially only volunteered for Rosenberg, was converted into a full-time regular employment relationship with Rosenberg as Reichsleiter of the NSDAP. As private secretary, he was responsible for processing all correspondence that Rosenberg had to conduct personally as head of the APA, but also as Reichsführer of the Kampfbund für deutsche Kultur (KfdK) and as main editor of the "Völkischer Beobachters" (VB). In January 1934, Rosenberg was appointed the Führer's representative for monitoring the entire spiritual and ideological training and education of the NSDAP. Probably because of this new expansion of his duties, on 26 April 1934 Rosenberg ordered the conversion of his private secretariat into a "Rosenberg Chancellery". It continued to be under the direction of Thilo von Trothas, but was now assigned a clearly defined scope of duties: From now on, the Rosenberg Chancellery was responsible for all correspondence conducted by Rosenberg himself within the scope of duties of the APA, the KfdK and other ideological offices as well as for the "NS-Monatshefte", the appointment calendar and the visit regulations of the Reichsleiter. The firm had its own "archive" whose task it was to collect information material and newspaper clippings about Rosenberg. The DBFU was one of the administrators. On 15 August 1937, Rosenberg appointed SA-Sturmbannführer Dr. Werner Koeppen (born 26.09.1910) as his aide. After the death of Trothas in February 1938, Koeppen took over the management of the office and retained it - with temporary interruptions due to military service - until 1945. In August 1941 he was appointed by Rosenberg as his personal adviser and worked for a time as a liaison officer in the Führer's headquarters. During his absence Amandus Langer, whom Rosenberg had appointed as his adjutant in 1941, represented him in the management of the office.

Despite some losses during the heavy bombing raids in November 1943, most of the files of the Rosenberg office seem to have been preserved. The traditional Rosenberg documents (from the state and party areas) were brought to Nuremberg after the end of the war in order to be evaluated for the Allied trials against the war criminals. In the beginning, the documents that could be used as supporting documents were taken from the files, later they were left in them and were content with photocopies. The originals used are likely to be in Washington today, along with other trial documents. The documents collected in Nuremberg were evaluated by various foreign institutions for the creation of their own collections after the processes had been completed. The Centre de Documentation Juive Contemporaine (CDJC) in Paris is particularly worthy of mention here. Today, the "Collection Rosenberg" contains a collection of approximately 1,100 documents (mostly from the provenance office of Rosenberg, but also from other Rosenberg offices). Receipts for the individual documents taken from the CDJC are still in the files that have been transferred to the Federal Archives. Further records of Rosenberg's departments can be found at the Nederlands Instituut voor Oorlogsdokumentatie (NIOD), Amsterdam, and at the Yivo-Institute for Jewish Research in New York. Books and journals from Rosenberg's departments are listed in the Hoover Institute and Library and in the Library of Congress. Documents from Rosenberg offices also reached archives of the former Soviet Union. An extensive collection (above all of the provenance ERR) is today kept in the Tsentral`nyi derzhavnyi arhiv vyshchykh orhaniv vlady ta upravlinnia Ukraïny (TsDAVO Ukraïny) in Kiev, further files (above all of the provenance foreign policy office) in the Rossiiskii gosudarstvennyi voennyi arkhiv (RGVA) in Moscow. Most of the Rosenberg files collected in Nuremberg were brought to Alexandria/Va. and partly filmed there. In March 1963, this file complex, known as Record Group 1008/Reichsministerium für die besetzten Ostgebiete, was transferred from the USA to the Federal Archives in the course of the file repatriation, where it was divided into provenances in autumn 1963. The files from this return of files to the provenance of "Kanzlei Rosenberg" form the main part of the present collection. Some volumes were added which had been transferred to the Nuremberg State Archives and to the Federal Archives in 1955, as well as several volumes from various American file returns. Further additions were made by one volume each from the Central State Archive of the GDR (62 Ka 2/1) and from the so-called "NS Archive of the Ministry for State Security of the GDR" (ZA VI 6322). Archival processing The majority of the documents had been deposited in the Federal Archives in their original registry context. Individual documents, processes detached from their context as well as volumes in disorder had to be rearranged. The order and distortion corresponded to the original registry context. A complete reorganisation of the stock from a factual point of view would have facilitated its use, but did not appear to be justified from the point of view of labour economics. Only double copies were collected in the manuscript series. The preliminary finding aid for the stock was produced by Mrs. Köhne in 1966. Quotation NS 8/.............................................................. Characterisation of the contents: The collection of manuscripts and newspaper clippings provides a fairly comprehensive picture of Rosenberg's personality from about 1930 to 1945. Due to the fact that the Chancellery was responsible for almost all of Rosenberg's departments, the collection also contains essential supplementary material on the activities of the departments subordinated to Rosenberg; only the department of the Reich Ministry of the Occupied Eastern Territories, whose affairs Rosenberg had dealt with primarily by its ministerial office, is to be excluded. The filing of the documents took place largely in chronological series, at most separately into the areas VB, KfdK and APA, later also according to correspondence partners. A clear separation of the series from each other in terms of content and time is not discernible. State of development: Findbuch (1966/2005), Online-Findbuch (2004). Citation style: BArch, NS 8/...

Description of holdings: Dept. 42 Gemeindearchiv Horchheim Scope: 107 archive boxes, 3 m Amtsbücher, 11 m Urk.z.Rechn. (923 units = 33 m) Duration: 1710 - 1945/72 Zur Ortsgeschichte Horchheim lies approx. four km southwest of Worms in the Eisbachtal. The village was first mentioned in a deed of donation in the Lorsch Codex in 766. The name of the place is derived from the word "horac" "swampy". The marshy valley, afflicted by the floods of the Eisbach, gave it its name. Horchheim had belonged to the high monastery of Worms since the early Middle Ages. Together with some surrounding villages Horchheim and Weinsheim belonged to the dominion of Stauf, which in the 12th century was under the rule of Counts of Eberstein, from 1215 the Counts of Zweibrücken and from 1378 by purchase to the Counts of Sponheim. In 1393 the dominion was inherited by the Counts of Nassau-Saarbrücken; the Electorate Palatinate and Nassau-Weilburg, who had also acquired rights in Horchheim over the years, were involved in an exchange contract in 1706, with which the village returned to the high monastery (until 1798). 1798 - 1814 French domination, from 1816 Grand Duchy and Volksstaat Hessen respectively; 1816 Canton Pfeddersheim, 1835 District Worms, 1848 Regierungsbezirk Mainz, 1850 Regierungsbezirk Worms, 1852 - 1942 District Worms, incorporation into Worms on 01.04.1942. The municipalities Horchheim and Weinsheim are closely connected in their history. In 1715 Weinsheim appears for the first time as an independent municipality with its own mayor. After 1792, Weinsheim was administered from Wiesoppenheim, while it had always been a church branch of Horchheim. Due to the close connection, files from Weinsheim are also part of the Horchheim collection. From the middle of the 16th to the beginning of the 17th century Horchheim was predominantly Protestant, since 1635 (until today predominantly Catholic) again (parish church Heilig-Kreuz, patronage and tenth right of the cathedral monastery). In 1496 about 200 inhabitants lived in Horchheim. By 1900 the population had grown to about 1,800 inhabitants, 7 of them Jews, and in 2002 it was 4,475 inhabitants. Worth mentioning are the charitable foundations in Horchheim: the Elendenbruderschaft, the Hospital Neuhausen and the branch of the Order of Merciful Sisters. The brotherhood of the wretched was established in 1448. In 1726 a new altar for the church was procured from the funds of the foundation and a contribution to the purchase of an organ was shown. The money from the interest was used to build and maintain the school building and to pay the school teachers, to care for the local poor and poor travellers and to pay the school fees for poor children. In 1824 the fund was placed under the control of the administrative commission of the Neuhausen Hospital by the provincial government in Mainz. In 1825, at the request of the Horchheim municipal council, the so-called brotherhood house with garden was auctioned off. The proceeds were used to build the new school and community centre. The Neuhausen Hospital was founded in 1729/30 by the bishop of Worms, Franz Ludwig von Pfalz-Neuburg (1694-1732) in the form of a foundation and equipped with rich property. In a document dated 22 August 1730 (Dept. 61 No. 112), the bishop bought the manor and former monastery Liebenau for 12,000 guilders with an associated mill and numerous possessions in order to guarantee the existence of the foundation. Before his death he bequeathed a large part of his assets to the foundation to complete the newly built hospital building so that the Pfründner could finally move in. At the beginning of the French period (1798), when the buildings were destroyed, they were converted into a civil hospital, which was united with other hospitals in the canton of Pfeddersheim. By decree of 1801 the Hospital Neuhausen regained its independence and its name. Horchheim was chosen as the seat of the foundation, which was chaired by the mayor of Horchheim. Furthermore, the 14 member municipalities on the left bank of the Rhine were defined, whose citizens benefited from the funds and whose envoys formed the Administrative Commission. These were: Beindersheim, Bobenheim, Dirmstein, Hettenheim, Leidelheim (later Hettenleidelheim), Horchheim, Laumersheim, Mörsch, Neuhausen, Neuleinigen, Rheindürkheim, Roxheim, Weinsheim and Wiesoppenheim. In 1855, a revised monastery statute came into force, which was replaced by a new statute in 1948. The former hospital - under the supervision of the hospital commission on the basis of a hospital property consisting of agricultural land in 20 local markings in and around Worms - still exists today as a foundation. As a result of the incorporation into Worms on 01.04.1942, the archival material was added to the city archives in 1943 (cf. tax register of the municipality of Horchheim, Dept. 20 No. 22). On 17.03.2004 the city archive took over the remaining files, which had been kept in the municipality. The inventory was already indexed by a preliminary list (rough drawing). Distortion began in March 2008. The duration, the structure of which corresponds to the registration plan of 1908, ranges from (1614) 1710 to 1972. Particularly worth mentioning are the Horchheimer Flur- und Güterbuch with border description of the district of Horchheim from 1710-1773 (no. 0043) as well as the Schatzungsbuch 1710-1798 (no. 0001); Gerichtsprotokoll über Tausch-, Kauf- und Verkaufsgeschäfte 1769-1791, Vormundschaften 18. (alph.); stock book, renovation protocol 1753; renovation of the Korngülte of the Andreasstift (Perg. Urk. 1614), various renovations and Gülten of the 18th century. With the inhabitant maps are excerpts from the birth, marriage, punishment and death registers, offerings, church exits for the period from 1853 to 1972 (use after arrangement). As an almost complete series, the Mayor's Office invoices and the corresponding documents, in which plans for the construction of the school building, 1827, (No. 793/2), situation plan for the supervision or approval of new buildings on the lower eastward part of the village of Horchheim, 1847 (No. 793/2), are presented, are almost complete (No. 793/2). 322), draft for the construction of the bridge over the Eisbach at the lower mill at Horchheim, 1846 (No. 802/4) as well as cost estimates for the construction of a mortuary, catering and quartering of the troops. The local companies are also important: Pfeiffer

Bayerische diplomatische Vertreter lassen sich an der Kurie bis zum Beginn des 17. Jahrhunderts zurückverfolgen. Demgemäß reichen auch die Akten der bayerischen Vertretung beim päpstlichen Stuhl bruchstückweise bis zum Jahre 1606 zurück. Von geschlossenen Beständen kann man freilich erst seit der Amtszeit des Gesandten Marchese dAntici sprechen, der ab 1769 Vertreter der Kurpfalz, sodann des Herzogtums Zweibrücken und seit 1776 auch von Kurbayern in Rom war. Nach der fluchtartigen Aufgabe des Gesandtenpostens durch dAntici im Jahre 1798 anlässlich der Besetzung Roms durch die französischen Truppen war Kurpfalzbayern ohne diplomatischen Vertreter in Rom. Erst zu Ende des Jahres 1803 wurde wieder eine bayerische Vertretung eingerichtet, die zunächst die Bezeichnung "Churpfalzbaierische Mission in Rom" führte. Infolge der Einverleibung des Kirchenstaats in das französische Empire durch Napoleon I. war sie in der Zeit von 1810-1815 abermals unterbrochen. Seit der Neubeglaubigung des Gesandten Freiherrn von Haeffelin im August 1815 bestand sie ohne Unterbrechung fort bis zu ihrer Aufhebung am 30. Juni 1934, die durch die nationalsozialistische Reichsregierung aufgrund des Gesetzes über den Neuaufbau des Reiches von 30. Januar 1934 erfolgte. Der Name der Gesandtschaft, der nach der Erhebung Bayerns zum Königreich im Jahre 1806 zunächst "Bayerische Gesandtschaft in Rom" lautete, wurde nach der Einverleibung Roms in das Königreich Italien im Jahre 1870 in "Bayerische Gesandtschaft beim päpstlichen Stuhl" umgewandelt. Seit 31. Mai 1930 lautete die amtliche Bezeichnung in Angleichung an die Namensführung der übrigen bei der Kurie beglaubigten diplomatischen Vertretungen "Bayerische Gesandtschaft beim Heiligen Stuhl". Während der Unterbrechung der offiziellen diplomatischen Beziehungen zwischen Bayern und dem päpstlichen Stuhl in den Jahren 1798-1803 und 1810-1815 waren für den bayerischen Hof Agenten in Rom tätig. Bei der Erkrankung des Gesandten Freiherrn von Guttenberg im Jahre 1909 übernahm der preußische Gesandte beim päpstlichen Stuhl in der Zeit vom 21. April bis 27. Oktober die vertretungsweise Führung der Geschäfte der bayerischen Gesandtschaft. Durch den Kriegseintritt Italiens im Mai 1915 war der Gesandte genötigt, den Sitz der Gesandtschaft von Rom nach Lugano in der neutralen Schweiz zu verlegen. Erst zur Jahreswende 1919/1920 erfolgte die Rückverlegung der Gesandtschaft nach Rom. Der bayerische Gesandte beim päpstlichen Stuhl vertrat verschiedentlich auch die Interessen von Staaten, die keinen eigenen diplomatischen Vertreter dort beglaubigt hatten, so die von Württemberg und Baden in der Zeit um 1808, von Griechenland nach der Errichtung eines selbstständigen Königreichs bis zur Entsendung eines eigenen Gesandten, ferner in der 2. Hälfte des 19. Jahrhunderts hin und wieder die Belange des Königreichs Sachsen. Demgemäß finden sich einschlägige Vorgänge in den Beständen der bayerischen Gesandtschaften. Da sie zumeist mit den bayerischen Akten unmittelbar zusammenhängen, konnte eine Aussonderung der betreffenden Stücke nicht durchgeführt werden. Auch mit den Angelegenheiten des souveränen Malteser-Ordens, mit dem Bayern keine eigenen diplomatischen Vertreter austauschte, wurde die Gesandtschaft beim päpstlichen Stuhl betraut. In der Zeit von Ende Juni 1851 bis 1. Dezember 1865 war der bayerische Gesandte in Rom gleichzeitig an den Höfen von Turin und Neapel beglaubigt. Soweit es ohne Zerreißung der Zusammenhänge geschehen konnte, wurden die Registraturen gesondert. Bei gemeinsam behandelten Angelegenheiten sind stets auch die Bestände dieser beiden Gesandtschaften heranzuziehen. Die Akten der Gesandtschaft in Rom aus der Zeit bis 1798 gehörten bisher zum Bestand Kasten schwarz des Geheimen Staatsarchivs und umfassten vornehmlich Kasten schwarz 509 und 510. Der Bestand der Jahre 1803-1934 war bislang überhaupt nur in seinem älteren Teil, den sogenannten Haeffelinschen Akten (Kasten grün 33-38), grob geordnet. Diese stammten von einer Ministerialabgabe des Jahres 1906. Der größere Teil der Gesandtschaftsregistratur kam kurz vor Aufhebung der Gesandtschaft im Juni 1934 als amtlich versiegeltes Gesandtschaftsgut unmittelbar von Rom nach München an das Geheime Staatsarchiv. Ein paar Akten wurden im Juli 1936 noch nachträglich von der Bayerischen Staatskanzlei dem Geheimen Staatsarchiv zugewiesen. Der gesamte Bestand wurde nunmehr nach den in der "Archivalischen Zeitschrift" Band 46 (1950) dargelegten Richtlinien neu geordnet. Fehlende Stücke wurden kaum festgestellt, der äußere Zustand war bis auf einige wenige Stücke gut. Vernichtet wurden nur Blätter, aus denen weder der sachliche Inhalt noch der Name der behandelten Person erkennbar war, ferner die Ein- und Auslaufstagebücher (Journale). Dem Missstand, dass mehrmals in Schreiben des Gesandten verschiedene Fälle behandelt wurden, wurde durch entsprechende Verweise zu begegnen versucht. Bei den Zeitungsausschnitten, die namentlich von den beiden letzten Gesandten in größeren Umfang als Unterlagen für ihre Berichte gesammelt wurden, finden sich vornehmlich folgende Abkürzungen: BK = Bayerischer Kurier Corr = Corriere dItalia KV = Kölnische Volkszeitung KZ = Kölnische Zeitung M = Messaggero MNN = Münchner Neueste Nachrichten OR = LOsservatore Romano T = Tribuna VB = Völkischer Beobachter Um das Personenverzeichnis nicht zu überfüllen, wurden hektographierte Listen französischer kriegsgefangener Offiziere in Bayern der Jahre 1870/71 (Nr. 2753) nicht aufgenommen. Für die freundliche Unterstützung bei der Lesung einiger italienischer Schriftstücke bin ich den Herren Kollegen Dr. A. Stengel und Dr. B. Zittel zu Dank verpflichtet. Das Register wurde von Fräulein Dr. v. Hoermann angefertigt. Edgar Krausen Reinschrift: Marianne Neudek Nr. 1-421, Ingeborg Thal Im Dezember 1951 Ergänzende Anmerkungen: Bei der Anlage des Repertoriums der Bayerischen Gesandtschaft beim Päpstlichen Stuhl wurde die ältere Gesandtschaftsregistratur aus dem Bestand Kasten schwarz 509/1-5 und 510/1-4 herausgenommen und im neuen Repertorium unter "Politischer Schriftwechsel" und an anderen Stellen verzeichnet. Die Objekte mit den Signaturen 3001-3010 wurden ebenfalls der Gesandtschaftsregistratur aus dem Bestand Kasten schwarz entnommen. Sie sind im Findbuch nur sehr allgemein erschlossen. Allerdings liegt im Repertorienzimmer ein detaillierter Ergänzungsband zu diesen Akten vor, der insbesondere Kopien von Schlagwortverzeichnissen und Betreffsregistern enthält, die Ende des 18. Jahrhunderts angelegt wurden. Sie stammen aus dem Akt Gesandtschaft Päpstlicher Stuhl 485 mit dem Betreff "Registraturverzeichnis der Gesandtschaft".
