The Württemberg Embassy in Switzerland was established in the first half of 1807 in connection with the conclusion of a trade agreement between Württemberg and Switzerland. After the recall of the envoy in 1817 it remained unoccupied(1). It was not until 1865, again in the course of a trade agreement, that it was re-established and existed until a large part of Württemberg foreign policy was transferred to the Reich in 1871(2). Württemberg envoys in Switzerland were: Johann Baptist Martin Edler Arand von Ackerfeld, Legation Council (June 1807-Jan. 1812) August Friedrich von Batz (Febr. 1812-Jan. 1814) Carl Philipp von Kaufmann, Privy Legation Councillor (Jan. 1814-Dec. 1817) Friedrich Heinrich Karl Freiherr Hugo von Spitzemberg (1865-Oct. 1866) Maximilian Adolf Freiherr von Ow, Privy Legation Councillor and Chamberlain (Oct. 1866-July 1871). The envoy of Ow proposed in 1866 the establishment of a consulate in Bern, whose consul was to represent him during his stays in Florence as an envoy in Italy and "take care of the current business, unless it requires special diplomatic treatment", for example passport matters; this was approved by King Charles in November 1866, consul in Bern became the merchant Albert Rooschütz (Nov. 1866-May 1873). In the absence of the envoy, his registry was kept and continued by the consul, also from 1871 until the dissolution of the consulate in 1873(3). The seat of the envoy was presumably Zurich until December 1816, and then permanently Bern(4). In 1865-1871 the legation and the consulate were located in the same building, probably in the house Hirschengraben 171, where the envoy lived(5). The files of the first registration layer (1807-1817) were probably sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs soon after the envoy was recalled. In the "Archive Register" of 1873(6), only the files of the second layer (1865-1873) are listed; these came to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1877. The delivery to the Staatsfilialarchiv and classification into the later holdings E 70 under directory numbers 52 and 52 a (for the first or second registration layer, with overlaps) probably took place before 1896, since the files of directory 53 were already there at that time(7). The State Archives presumably received the holdings together with other diplomatic files and holdings of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 1901(8). The lists of singles are kept in holdings E 61 x volume 35 and 37. The corresponding counter-files from the registry of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are to be found in holdings E 50/16 (Ministry of Foreign Affairs concerning the Ministry of Foreign Affairs). In the first registration layer, correspondence series predominate, especially for relations (diplomatic reports to the king); documents on international treaties were created as fact files. In the second registration layer, both subject files and subject series were formed, and finally both registration layers contain individual case files on subjects' affairs.the categories I-III of the second registration layer were recorded in 1971 by archive assistant Herwig John, the processors of the remaining files could no longer be determined.the old registration signature of the "archive register" serving as an order criterion is listed as pre-signature 1, the old archive signature as pre-signature 2.The stock E 70 v comprises 110 tufts (1.8 running m).Stuttgart, in May 2000 Hartmut Obst(1) cf.

Preliminary remarks History of the authorities The Welfare Office for civil servants from the border areas was established at the same time as the Supreme Welfare Office for civil servants from the border areas (GStA PK, I. HA Rep. 206) with the law on the accommodation of indirect civil servants and teachers from the areas ceded by the Versailles Treaties (Accommodation Act) on 30 March 1920 (GS. p. 63). The law concerned indirect state officials who lost their office as a result of the assignment or occupation of Prussian parts of the country or gave up their office because, according to the circumstances, they could not be expected to continue their work under foreign rule. It also applied to the former Alsace-Lorraine indirect civil servants and teachers and to teachers who had had to give up their jobs in the foreign or colonial school service (the welfare office for teachers was responsible for this; its file stock is not handed down). The Welfare Office was the decision-making authority of the Ministry of Finance. His court of appeal was the Supreme Welfare Office. The 1920 law was amended by the law of 21 May 1935 (p. 69). The president of the Prussian Building and Finance Directorate was also chairman of the "Welfare Office"; the main fund of the Building and Finance Directorate handled its cash transactions (see also the state handbooks). Inventory Six acts of the authority were transferred to the Secret State Archives in 1941 (Accession 68/1941) and the "I. HA Rep. 180 E" collection was set up for this purpose. These files were outsourced during the war and finally reached the German Central Archive in Merseburg after the war. The other files of the authority listed here were transferred from the building of the Prussian Building and Finance Directorate Berlin (Invalidenstraße 52) to the main archive of Berlin in 1947; the "I. HA Rep. 180 C" collection was formed from them - probably in ignorance of what had already been established earlier. After the merging of the two components, they were combined to form the "I. HA Rep. 180 C Welfare Office for Civil Servants from the Border Regions". The stock is in the magazine Dahlem. The files are to be ordered as: I. HA Rep. 180 C, No. ### The files are to be quoted as: I. HA Rep. 180 C Welfare Office for officials from border areas, No. ### The last number assigned is: signed.

1. important note: This find book is hopefully a preliminary aid for orientation in the stock. The title recordings were made directly during the recording and evaluation of the documents in the Natural History Museum so that the documents could at least be provisionally indexed and transferred to the State Archives for use. This of course meant that only a superficial development could be carried out. 120 units are in the portfolio. 2nd History of the Natural History Museum: The Staatliche Museum für Naturkunde Stuttgart has its origins in the ducal Kunstkammer. In 1791 an independent "Naturalien-Kabinett" was separated from this, which was responsible for the collection of minerals, plants and animals. In 1827 the Natural History Cabinet received a new building in Stuttgart's Neckarstraße, which it used together with the State Archives. The files contained in the collection bear witness to the not unproblematic proximity of two cultural institutions, which obviously worked against each other to assert their mostly scarce means. The building was rebuilt several times, in the 1860s by extending the wings towards Archivstraße. In 1944, the building was destroyed by the Natural History Museum and the State Archives; the natural history collections were then stored in Rosenstein Castle. In 1900 the Natural History Cabinet was given the modern name Natural History Collection, which was used until 1950. Since 1950 it has been the State Museum of Natural History, and in 1817 the Natural History Cabinet was placed under the authority of a newly established supreme authority, the Royal Directorate of Scientific Collections. This stood above the public library, the collection of coins, medals, art and antiquities and the collection of natural objects. On April 1, 1919, the Directorate of the Scientific Collections was abolished, the Natural History Collection as well as the State Library directly subordinated to the Ministry of Culture, and it was assumed that the tradition of the Directorate of the Scientific Collections had been largely destroyed in the Second World War together with that of the Ministry of Culture (see also below under 5.). Fortunately, among the documents of the Natural History Museum, there were numerous files from the Directorate of Scientific Collections. 3. content and order of the holdings: the documents provide information on the development of a princely collection of precious objects into a scientific enterprise and a museum that is becoming more and more accessible to the public. In this context, the general administrative acts presented here particularly reflected the practical affairs of the company: time and again, the securing and construction of premises, the procurement of the necessary furniture and personnel issues are at stake. In view of the disturbed situation of tradition in the Ministry of Culture, the documents of the Natural History Museum and the Directorate offered for separation were taken over completely up to and including 1945, provided that they were not completely meaningless redundancies with regard to content. In addition, there had also been assignments of documents and processes of the museum to the files of the directorate (and vice versa) in the Natural History Museum. A technically correct separation of the provenances could only be achieved here through individual analyses. For this reason, it was decided at the moment not to divide the holdings into a "Directorate of Scientific Collections" and a "Natural History Collection/Museum". Even a separation into an old collection until 1945 and a newer collection for the State Museum of Natural History after 1945 would not be possible and meaningful without detailed analyses. Such files, which clearly originated with the Directorate (identifiable by the file number, among other things) and were closed at the time of their existence, were assigned to the classification group "1st Directorate" with the final provenance "Directorate". Otherwise, it was occasionally necessary to decide according to the main focus of the file or to assign the file unit to the point "5. files (provenance not yet clarified)" until the situation was clarified; this was particularly often the case for files with a very long duration. Otherwise, the classification follows a chronological principle; in view of the small volume of the documents, it seemed reasonable to refrain at least for the time being from a factual subdivision. The Directorate in particular obviously followed a stringent file plan, which could not, however, be found. In the natural history collection, the file number apparently played a subordinate role, and the collection is expected to grow further in the coming years. 4. terms of use: Individual file units are still subject to protection and blocking periods according to the Landesarchivgesetz. 5. reference to other documents: Accounting documents of the Directorate of the Scientific Collections are in the inventory E 226/230 of the State Archives Ludwigsburg. it is to be assumed that also older documents remained in the Natural History Museum, where they are partly still needed. 6. literature: Dehlinger, Alfred: Württembergs Staatswesen in its historical development until today.
