History of the Inventory Designer: Created on 15.2.1916 at the Admiralstab as a collection point for files from the naval area. The Marine Archives emerged from the collection point. The tasks of the War Science Department included the preparation of a naval warfare book on the First World War, the collection of official documents, evaluation of the naval war 1942-44, and the history of the Reich and war machine. The war science department of the Navy was ultimately under the command of the chief of naval warfare. Description of the holdings: On 15 February 1916, the War Science Department was created at the Admiralstab and assigned, among other things, the task of collecting files from the naval area, from which the naval archive emerged. Its most important tasks consisted in the work on the naval warfare work on the First World War, the official records collection 1928-1937, the evaluation of important events of the naval war 1942-1944 and the series "Taktik" 1939-1941 comprising eight issues. On 22 January 1936 the naval archives received the name Kriegswissenschaftliche Abteilung der Marine (at the same time research institute). It was last subordinated to the Chief of Naval Warfare and was divided into three groups for general business operations and the Naval Archives, for the descriptive processing of war events and research work on the official naval warfare work from 1939, finally for the conclusion of the naval warfare work 1914-1918 and the presentation of the history of the Reich Navy and Navy up to the beginning of the Second World War. Announcements and current orders Nov. 1918 - March 1945, preliminary work and drafts "The War at Sea 1914-1918", reports on Revolution 1918, hand and business files of the employees of the department responsible for the naval war from 1939. Characterisation of the contents: The collection mainly comprises announcements and current orders from November 1918 to March 1945, as well as preliminary work and drafts for the naval warfare work "Der Krieg zur See 1914-1918", including in particular materials for the volumes "Der Krieg in der Nordsee" VII, "Der Krieg in der Ostsee" III, "Der Handelskrieg mit U- Booten" III and IV, which did not appear until 1945, and collected reports on the 1918 revolution. Furthermore there are hand and business files of the employees of the department responsible for the naval war from 1939 onwards, including important original documents of the Imperial Navy from the time of the 1st World War.

Inventory description: Following the imminent prohibition of the Great General Staff by the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, various military personnel (including Hans v. Seeckt, Wilhelm Groener, Hermann Ritter Mertz v. Quirnheim and Hans v. Haeften) endeavoured to be able to continue the former war-historical department of the Great General Staff as a civilian institution for future military historiography and evaluation of world war experience. After approval by the Reich Cabinet, the war-historical section was therefore taken over by the Reichsarchiv, newly founded on October 1, 1919, due to the dissolution of the Großen Generalstab. The first president of the Reichsarchiv was Major General Hermann Ritter Mertz v. Quirnheim until 31 October 1931, and Colonel Hans v. Haeften became head of the war history department. In addition to its function as the archival centre for the history of the German Reich since 1867, the Reichsarchiv also served as a research centre for the development of a major World War II work and for the evaluation of the war experiences of the World War II from 1914 to 1918 for the Reichswehr and a future rearmament. In 1924 the war history department was renamed the Historical Department. Its main task was to elaborate and publish the official military World War II work, together with the supplementary volumes on war armaments and war economy as well as the field railway system. She was also responsible for the publication of the series "Schlachten des Weltkrieges" ("Battles of the World War"); she also supported the "Erinnerungsblätter deutscher Regimenter" ("Memory Sheets of German Regiments") and the "Forschungen und Darstellungen aus dem Reichsarchiv" ("Researches and Presentations from the Reichsarchiv"). On November 1, 1931, retired Major General von Haeften became President of the Reichsarchiv, and his successor as Director of the Historical Department was Lieutenant Colonel Wolfgang Foerster. After the National Socialist seizure of power and the transition to open rearmament, the Reichsarchiv was reorganised according to military criteria. The official military and war historiography and military archives became the task of the Wehrmacht. From April 1, 1934, the Historical Department was under the control of the Reichswehr Ministry; one year later, it was completely removed from the Reichsarchiv and renamed the "Forschungsanstalt für Kriegs- und Heeresgeschichte" (Research Institute for War and Army History). On 1 April 1937 it was given the name "Kriegsgeschichtliche Forschungsanstalt des Heeres" (War Historical Research Institute of the Army), to which the library and printing works of the Reichsarchiv also passed. The military archives of the Reichsarchiv were taken over by the Heeresarchiv in Potsdam, which was newly founded on 1 April 1936. The former director of the research institute was promoted to president of the department. Foerster held this position until the end of the war. As a subordinate office of the Chief of the General Staff of the Army, the KGFA was now subordinate to the Commander-in-Chief of the Army. In the autumn of 1938, the General Staff re-established the office of Oberquartiermeister V under Lieutenant General Dr. Waldemar Erfurth, who was responsible for all war-historical and archival facilities of the army (7th War Science Department in the General Staff, Chief of the Army Archives, War History Research Institute). The KGFA was exclusively responsible for military historical research with the continuation and conclusion of the World War II work as well as the supplementary volumes. In addition, the research and presentation of the post-war fights of German troops and free corps as well as the fights in the colonies should be started. With the outbreak of the Second World War, however, Foerster's planned completion of work on the World War II plant at the end of 1942 was considerably delayed. At the end of September 1942, the KGFA was placed under the authority of Walter Scherff, the newly appointed "Representative of the Führer for Military Historiography" and head of the War History Department in the High Command of the Wehrmacht, Colonel (later Major General) Walter Scherff, on 17 May 1942. During the British air raid on Potsdam on 14 April 1945, extensive documents and archives were destroyed by fire, a large part of which had already been destroyed in an air raid on 14 February 1945. De facto the work of the War Historical Research Institute of the Army also ended with this. Structure of the KGFA (Source: RH 61/72): 1st President: Head of the Central Office (Z), at the same time responsible for personnel (ZP), budget (ZH) and mobilization matters (g.

Characterisation of the contents: The military archives of the German Reich suffered extraordinarily large losses during the Second World War, above all due to the destruction of the files remaining in the army archives during the Allied air raid on Potsdam on 14 April 1945. This also affected the documents of the Kriegsgeschichtliche Forschungsanstalt. Employees of the civilian Reich Archives and the Army Archives in Potsdam who had worked on behalf of the Soviet occupying forces until February 1946 were, however, able to recover large parts of the files of the Kriegsgeschichtliche Forschungsanstalt from the damaged building. They were transferred to the Central Archive of the Soviet Occupation Zone (later the Central State Archive of the GDR), which was newly founded in July 1946, where they were grouped under the "Reichsarchiv" holdings. The holdings were rearranged by the Central State Archives of the GDR in Potsdam and recorded by hand on index cards. For the most part, the traditional file titles were adopted, but in many cases supplemented by "Contained" notes. After it had been processed, the documents of the research institute were separated from the remaining documents of the Reichs- und Heeresarchiv and in the mid-1980s handed over to the military archive of the National People's Army (NVA) in Potsdam. The files were stored there under the inventory designation W 10. After the state end of the GDR, the documents were transferred to the Bundesarchiv-Militärarchiv in Freiburg in 1994 and were added to the existing holdings in Freiburg. The KGFA documents contained in RH 61 arose primarily in connection with the work on the World War II plant. It includes business files, correspondence files, research papers, studies, field reports, manuscript drafts, fair copies, flag proofs, copies of files of military and political authorities and agencies, of war diaries and personal records of officers, as well as notes of editors and newspaper clippings. In addition, detached parts of original documents, in a few cases even entire files, from the Reich Archives or Army Archives are in the process of being handed down. The documents offer an important replacement for the considerable war-related gaps in the records of the Prussian-German army before 1919. The present provisional index (copy of the index cards) of the KGFA holdings consists of the two parts of the records in Freiburg (RH 61) and formerly in Potsdam (formerly W 10). It is intended to merge the two separate stocks. State of development: Online-Findbuch Scope, Explanation: 2500 Citation method: BArch, RH 61/...

Find aids: Find book from 1990 (online searchable); partly unexcavated registry formers: Walbeck belongs to the city of Hettstedt, Lkr. Mansfeld-Südharz, Saxony-Anhalt. In 992 Otto III from Wittum transferred the royal court of Walbeck to Empress Adelheid of Quedlinburg to establish a Benedictine monastery consecrated in 997. In 1540/42 the Counts of Mansfeld secularised the monastery over which they had exercised the bailiwick since 1387. During the sequestration in 1570/73, Walbeck was placed under the administration of the Electorate of Saxony as part of the county of Mansfeld-Vorderort. In 1815, it passed to Prussia, where it was assigned to the province of Saxony in 1816-1945. In 1563 Count Hans Albrecht von Mansfeld-Vorderort pledged the Walbeck office, consisting of the monastery estate and the villages Ritterode and Meisberg, to Ludolf von Bortfeld. His descendants ceded the pledge in 1661 to Count Johann Albrecht von Ronoff, who in 1663 compared himself with the Mansfeldern on resale acquisition. In 1677 he sold it to Friedrich Casimir zu Eltz. In 1727 the estate passed from his descendants by inheritance to Philipp Wilhelm and Johann Clamor von dem Bussche. The latter acquired it in 1742 as a hereditary purchase, in 1745 achieved the status of a knight's manor with old written records, and in 1743/50 had the baroque palace built. In 1845 Walbeck fell to Friedrich August Tellemann, who had married Anna von dem Bussche, by buying out the remaining heirs. Through her daughter Anna's marriage to Heinrich Friedrich Remigius Bartels, the manor was transferred to his family, who owned it until it was expropriated in the course of the land reform in 1945. In 1827 the patrimonial jurisdiction over Walbeck, Ritterode, Meisberg (partly) and Quenstedt belonged to the manor called Rittergut. The Quenstedt manor, formed from several hereditary properties, was acquired in 1726/27 and separated again in 1843 when it was divided, and the Kupferberg manor, which had belonged to Walbeck since 1667, before Hettstedt, was temporarily co-administered. The church of Walbeck was supplied by the parish of Bräunrode. Inventory information: On the basis of a contract concluded in 2014, the holdings will be deposited in the Saxony-Anhalt State Archives.

Description of the holdings: The personal papers of Ernst Schweninger were transferred to the Reichsarchiv in July 1926 by his widow, Mrs. Lena Schweninger. In September 1936, numerous letters from the Bismarck family to Ernst Schweninger, owned by Mrs. Ingeborg Schulze, Stuttgart, were added. A single volume (N 2281/184) was handed over to the Federal Archives in 2001. In the Second World War, the estate was relocated to the Soviet Union and then transferred to the GDR in two parts - 1950 and 1959 - and transferred to the Central State Archives in Potsdam. There he received the stock signature 90 Schw 4 and was indexed in 1980 by a finding index. In accordance with the agreement, the documents were blocked for any use until December 1956. In the course of German reunification in October 1990, the documents finally reached the Federal Archives and have since been kept under the inventory signature N 2281. In the year 1997 a finding aid book was provided to the existence, which represented a to a large extent unchanged copy of the finding aid file at that time. During the current processing, the archive units were transferred to the archive database BASYS-S. The archive units are now stored in the archive database BASYS-S. Classification, title recordings, terms were checked and partially corrected. Dr. Ernst Schweninger, the personal physician of Reich Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, has conducted extensive correspondence with many well-known personalities of his time, such as Herbert von Bismarck, Bernhard von Bülow, Maximilian Harden, Alfred Krupp and others. The tradition therefore consists mainly of letters from friends, colleagues, patients and not least family members and covers the period 1866 - 1925. Reference: E.

History of the Inventory Designer: 1861 Constitution of the Deutscher Handelstag as a political and professional association of merchants; 1918 Change of name to Deutscher Industrie- und Handelstag, the umbrella organisation of the Chambers of Industry and Commerce; January 1935 Transfer of the branch office of the Deutscher Industrie- und Handelstag to the Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Industrie und Handelskammern (Act on the Preparation of the Organic Structure of the German Economy of 27 February 1934, Ordinance on the Transfer of 24 July 1935 to the German Chambers of Industry and Commerce).1935); association with the office of the Führer der Wirtschaft and affiliation to the Reichswirtschaftskammer, the umbrella organization of the "Organisation der gewerblichen Wirtschaft", and transfer of the public-law representation of the commercial economy to the Reichswirtschaftskammer, which is subordinated to the Reich Ministry of Economics; September 1943, assumption of the control of the war and armaments economy by the Reich Ministry of Armaments and War Economics, thus abolishing the mediating function between the state and the individual enterprise (decree of the Führer on the concentration of the war economy of 2 September 1943).09.1943; Decree on the allocation of tasks in the war economy of 29.10.1943). Inventory description: Inventory history The remains of the files of the German Industrial and Commercial Conference and the Reich Economic Chamber, which were rescued beyond the events of the war and the post-war period, originate from a complex of documents that was laid out after 1945 by the American occupying authorities in the Ministerial Collecting Center (MCC) in Hessisch-Lichtenau and Fürstenhagen. On behalf of the Americans, the files collected there were opened up and processed by German officials and employees in so-called working groups or sections. Via the Administrative Office for Economics in Minden and later the Administrative Office for Economics in Frankfurt/M., the documents finally came into the jurisdiction of the Federal Ministry of Economics in Duisdorf in 1951 in a strongly decimated form, and were then handed over to the Federal Archives in June 1952 after an initial inspection, pre-arrangement and separation of non-archival documents. It was not uncommon for these documents to be continued in the Reichswirtschaftskammer (Reich Chamber of Commerce) as part of the German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (Deutscher Industrie- und Handelstag), and it would have been difficult to divide them up between the two provenance sites when it came to establishing and delimiting the holdings. As a result of this strong continuity in the records, the archives of both provenance sites were integrated into a collection which was given the designation "Reichswirtschaftskammer" because of its final provenance. The stock was supplemented by US returns 1962-1966, 1965 and 1973. Characterisation of the content: Only fragments of the formerly extensive registries of the German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (1861-1934), the successor organisations of the Association of Chambers of Industry and Commerce in the Reichswirtschaftskammer (1935-1943) and the Reichswirtschaftskammer itself have survived today. The collection contains about 200 files of the until 1934 mainly on money, banking, stock exchange and credit affairs. About 3/4 of the c.a. 2200 files are files whose term extends beyond 1934 or begins only in 1935. The focus is on files of the file plan groups B III - Education, teaching and examination and D I - Foreign Chambers of Commerce, Foreign Trade, Economic Foreign Trade Intelligence Service as well as the test centre for the area of the organisation of trade and industry in the Reich Economic Chamber equipped with special powers. In detail, files have been handed down on the following subjects: Organisation, distribution of business, activities, budget, cash management, office building, business operations 1926-1945, industrial and economic reporting, economic research 1936-1945, circulars of the German Chambers of Industry and Commerce, the Association of Chambers of Industry and Commerce, the Reich Economic Chamber (incomplete collection) 1925-1945, German Chambers of Industry and Commerce: Management, human resources 1922-1923, honorary commercial courts, professional development of the economy 1932-1936, education, teaching and examination 1921-1945, pricing and management 1925-1927,1930-1945, trade law, cartel law, market surveillance, Work assignment (including foreign workers and prisoners of war) 1935-1945, associations, federations, chambers of commerce abroad, foreign economic intelligence service 1924-1944, customs duties, processing traffic, trade agreements, International Chamber of Commerce 1922-1937,1942-1944, taxes, money and credit, stock exchange, socialisation 1917-1933, 1935-1942, railway transport, tariffs, freight forwarders 1923-1943, shipping, waterways and air transport 1924-1944, transport, tourism, energy 1929-1942, Court of Honour and Courts of Honour 1937-1943, Management of the German National Group of the International Society for Commercial Education 1938, 1941-1944, Testing Laboratories for the Organization of Trade and Commerce 1932-1945 State of Development: Publication Findbuch (1976) Citation method: BArch, R 11/...

History of the Inventory Designer: On the basis of the Ordinance on the Trading of Goods of 4 September 1934, some 30 monitoring agencies were set up for all wichti‧gen areas of trade and industry to monitor the trading of goods on the internal market and to monitor, control and distribute the import of raw materials as subordinate offices of the Reich Ministry of Economics (cf. Inventory R 3101). Each monitoring agency became a legal entity with its establishment and was subject to a Reich commissioner appointed and obliged by the Reich Minister of Economics. The Reich commissioners were entitled to issue ordinances of a prescriptive nature, which were published in the Reichsanzeiger. Since 18 Aug. 1939 (RGBl. I 1429 and RAnz. Nr. 192) the previous monitoring stations were uniformly called Reichsstellen. In the eleven years of their existence, the tasks of the monitoring and Reich offices in general and the matters assigned to them in detail for their perception repeatedly changed for various reasons. The practical effects associated with the introduction of the term "control area" in 1942 were considerable, since from now on more than before the organization of the commercial economy (Reich industrial group, its economic groups and their subdivisions), the Reich associations and communities were entrusted with more or less large tasks within the framework of the economic administration of the Reich's commission next to or with the Reich offices, occasionally even with the status of Reich office. The most far-reaching consequences were the transfer of all war-related production tasks from the Reich Ministry of Economics to the Reich Ministry of Armaments and War Production in the autumn of 1943. The latter built up its own, largely new organization to such an extent that the system of Reich offices was largely undermined. The Reichsstelle was wound up after 1945. Inventory description: Inventory history The files of all Reichsstellen were probably still complete until mid-1941. Only the decree of the Reich Minister of Economics of 31.05.1941 allowed a total destruction of files at the Reich offices after five years. Obviously, this was used as soon as possible and on an ongoing basis to the greatest extent, since transactions from the early years hardly survived. Content characterisation: The focus is on foreign reports, documents on import loss compensation and audit reports from companies and national economic offices.

History of the Inventory Designer: A resolution of the National Assembly of 30.10.1919 in which the Reich government was requested "to ensure the cooperation of suitable experts in all legislative and administrative matters in which an artistic view can be considered and to create an institution at the Reich Ministry of the Interior which guarantees uniform handling" [1] led to the establishment of the office of the Reich Art Director. With effect from 1.1.1920 the Reich Minister of the Interior appointed Edwin Redslob Reichskunstwart. Responsible for all state art and cultural issues, he should mediate between the subjective design of the artist and the demands of the state. In addition to advising all Reich departments on artistic issues, Redslob saw his main task in the promotion of artists and art genres of all kinds. He paid particular attention to handicrafts and commercial graphics. State celebrations were organized by the office, exhibitions and competitions were promoted, distressed artists were supported. Commissioned with the "design of the Reich", the first task of the Reich Art Director was to award the contract for the design of a Reich coat of arms for the Weimar Republic. Under the authority of the Reich Minister of the Interior, only two speakers and two office workers were active in the office in addition to Redslob, while during the Great Depression only one secretary remained. The office was dissolved in 1933.[2] Remarks [1] Cf. R 43 I/ 831 fol. 2 [2] Inventory description: Inventory history After the dissolution of the office in 1933, the files of the Reichskunstwart were taken over by the Reich Ministry for Popular Enlightenment and Propaganda, but were not continued. In 1946, the events were transferred to the then main archive in Berlin, now the Secret State Archive, and received the inventory signature Re. 301. A summary list was compiled for the first 460 volumes. The documents were handed over to the Federal Archives on 7.7.1969. The volumes formed in the Secret State Archives have been newly recorded by Mr Gregor Verlande since 1977. From April 1979, Dr. Eder-Stein opened up the archive records, which had not yet been processed. As a result, the Publication Findbuch Bestand R 32 Reichskunstwart was published as volume 16 of the Findbücher zu Bestände des Bundesarchivs 1979. It forms the basis for the online version that has now been developed. The inventory was retained by the editor, Mrs. Simone Langner, during the production of the online finding aid. Only series and band sequences were partly newly formed. Citation BArch R 32/... Characterisation of the content: The Office's activities are primarily evidenced by the files relating to the management of its departments. Further focal points are the documents on art promotion and maintenance, on the organisation of exhibitions, fairs and competitions as well as on cooperation with associations and institutions. In addition to the design of state celebrations and the planning of the Imperial Memorial, procedures for the preservation of historical monuments, nature conservation and heritage protection are documented, as are decisions regarding design in various areas.
