Scope and content
Preliminary remark: The present holdings include the files of Section IV e of both the General Command and the Deputy General Command of the XIV Bath. Army Corps, as they came together in 1949 from the Army Archives in Stuttgart to the General State Archives in Karlsruhe. These are individual case files on offences that were subject to the military judiciary in times of peace and war and were reported by it to the superior military authority as special cases.beyond the individual case, both the so-called honorary court files of the officers and the criminal and protective custody files of civilians provide a comprehensive insight into the sphere of activity and validity of military justice in the German Empire. Particularly during the First World War, it became clear that military justice had to fulfil political tasks, and what they had to do. With the unrelenting persecution of those persons who were considered to be "unreliable", their legally highly controversial preventive arrest and subsequent deportation to the interior of the Reich, the extraordinary war courts established for this purpose have acquired a dodgy fame. The fact that they destroyed the successes achieved over decades in integrating Alsace-Lorraine into the Wilhelminian Empire within just a few months is one of the tragic episodes in the history of the Reichland between 1871 and 1918. The present holdings were originally catalogued by a tax register compiled in the Army Archives. This did not meet the archive requirements. In the mid-1980s, the new indexing was started and completed in 1990.Karlsruhe, in November 1990Dr. Kurt Hochstuhl Conversion: In 2008, the indexing data for the present finding aid were converted into the new indexing software scopeArchiv within the scope of the project "Conversion of old finding aid data" of the General State Archive Karlsruhe.
