The present collection comprises 223 units of indexation with a term of 1933-1945 and was transferred to the former Lippische Landesarchiv in Detmold soon after the Second World War, in November 1945. With the Second Law on the Gleichschaltung of the Länder with the Reich of 7 April 1933, the office of Reich Governor was created in the Länder. In the brief phase of the seizure of power, the Reich governors were subject to the control of the National Socialist-dominated state governments appointed by them, which had quasi-dictatorial powers, and only Hitler. They were his underlords in the countries. Already with the law on the reconstruction of the Reich of 30 January 1934, the Reichsstatthalteramt lost its importance. The power and legal relationships were shifted in favour of the central authorities in Berlin and against the state governments and the imperial governors. With the Reichsstatthaltergesetz of 30 January 1935, the Reichsstatthalter only became instances of the Reichsregierung in the sense of a Reichsmittelbehörde; in addition, their position became increasingly representative. On 16 May 1933, the President of the Reich, Paul von Hindenburg, appointed Dr. Alfred Meyer, head of the Gaue Westfalen-Nord, based in Münster, as governor of the two smallest Reich states, Lippe and Schaumburg-Lippe, at Hitler's suggestion. One week later, on 23 May, in his capacity as Reich Governor, he placed a man of his special trust, Hans-Joachim Riecke, a qualified farmer and Gauinspekteur (Gauinspector), with the antiquated title of Minister of State at the head of the Lippe state government. This one was reporting directly to Meyer. Riecke's honorary deputy as head of the state government was the Detmold NSDAP district leader, the Lagens painter Adolf Wedderwille. Since the power positions and powers of the Reich Governors in the administration increasingly eroded in the years after 1933, without the office being abolished despite its apparent loss of significance, Meyer - like others of his colleagues - strove to unite administrative and government positions in his hands. After Riecke's departure to the Reich Ministry of Food and Agriculture on February 1, 1936, he was appointed head of the Lippe State Government by executive decree. On 17 November 1938, he became Chief President of the Province of Westphalia in Münster. In addition, in November 1941 he was appointed Deputy Minister in the newly created Ministry for the Occupied Eastern Territories under Alfred Rosenberg, and from 29 May 1940 he was entrusted by Hitler with the management of the affairs of a Reich Defence Commissioner. Meyer only occasionally visited Detmold in his capacity as Reich Governor for both Lippe. Münster remained his official seat. Meyer's local husband and inspector of the Detmold government work, based in the small Reich governor's office with only 3-4 employees, which was moved to Berlebeck on the Friedrichshöhe in 1937, was Karl Wolf, a member of the government from 1933 to 1943. Even in his role as head of the Lippische Landesregierung, Meyer rarely came to his new office. With Wedderwille, who after Riecke's transfer became full-time deputy head of the Lippe government and resided in Riecke's former office, he had a reliable governor in the Lipperland in party and state administration. Meyer's main fields of activity and positions of power were in Münster and Berlin and not in the small residential town on the Teutoburg Forest. Thus his faithful paladin Adolf Wedderwille gradually became the most powerful man in all of Lippe, especially during the war with his double role. Since February 1936 the Lippe laws and ordinances were passed under the name: The Reichsstatthalter in Lippe and Schaumburg-Lippe (state government of Lippe) and were signed either by the Reichstatthalter Dr. Meyer himself or in representation Wedderwille. Until April 1945 Lippe was ruled in this form. From the above it becomes clear that there could be, and indeed had to be, certain intermixtures and overlaps in the registry of the Reich Governor's Office. Some written or file documents would have been better kept in the registry of the Minister of State or the NSDAP district leader in terms of content and form. Also some petitioners were certainly not clear whether they should write to Meyer in his capacity as Gauleiter, Reichsstatthalter or head of the state government. Thus the pre-archival order was largely maintained and, above all, the signatory did not clean up the holdings (e.g. in the case of Section 5, Minister of State). For research on the Lippe NS period, the holdings L 80.03 (Minister of State) and L 113 (NSDAP and NS organisations in Lippe) as well as the L 80 holdings in general should therefore also and above all be consulted.

Preliminary remark: The Baden constitution of 1818 had created a parliamentary two-chamber system. In contrast to the representatives of the estates assembled in the first chamber, the representatives of the people in the second chamber were elected by universal suffrage, in which the mass of citizens could cast their votes. The political debates in the Ständehaus in Karlsruhe were to play a not insignificant role in the upswing of the liberal movement in the first half of the 19th century. In 1904, direct suffrage was introduced for the second chamber. With the end of the constitutional monarchy, the first chamber of the Landtag disappeared. The Baden constitution of 1919 abolished class voting rights and introduced women's suffrage. On 30.1.1934, the history of the Badischer Landtag came to an end after 115 years with the National Socialist law on the abolition of the popular representations of the Länder. The archives of the Landtag were delivered to the General State Archives in 1934 and 1942, the photos of the members of parliament in 1943. These photos can be found under the heading No. 40k Members of the Estates. The minutes and invoices of the first and second chambers are summarized in fonds 231. The petitions of the population to their members of parliament, some in alphabetical order and some in chronological order, are very extensive.

Inventory information: The inventory of the Roßlau District Court reached the archive via various access points. The individual classification groups have different levels of development. For example, part of the files have been transferred from the "Amtsgericht Zerbst-Roßlau" (District Court Zerbst-Roßlau) to the "Amtsgericht Roßlau" (District Court Roßlau) by determination of their provenance, and classification groups such as commercial, cooperative or association register matters are accessible via special finding aids, whereas matters relating to the hereditary court are accessible via a finding index.

Preliminary remark: The law of 13 August 1865 (Reg. Bl. p. 243) prescribed the maintenance of commercial registers in Württemberg. The provisions of the Commercial Register were clarified in the order of 31 October 1865 (Reg. Bl. S. 448ff). The commercial register was therefore divided into two main sections, namely a register for sole proprietorships and a register for companies; the latter included all public limited companies (AG), limited partnerships on shares (KGaA) and limited liability companies (GmbH), and in the period in question also limited partnerships (KG) and general partnerships (OHG). Initially, 4 commercial courts in Stuttgart, Heilbronn, Ulm and Reutlingen kept the commercial registers; after the Württemberg judicial reform of 1868, the (higher) district courts were responsible (Reg. Bl. p. 410). Until 1924, the district court district of Stuttgart-Stadt encompassed the area of the Stuttgart city directorate (excluding Cannstatt, Untertürkheim and Wangen). As a result of the administrative and court reform of 1923/24, the district court of Stuttgart-Amt was dissolved (see inventory F 305); the Sprengel was assigned - with the exception of Feuerbach - to the district court of Stuttgart-Stadt (now: Stuttgart I) (Reg. Bl. von 1924, p. 71). After the dissolution of the Stuttgart Higher Administrative Office in 1938, the court district was also adapted to the administrative boundaries; a large part of the towns fell to the Esslingen and Böblingen District Courts. The commercial register files recorded in this repertory were handed over to the State Archives by the Stuttgart District Court in 1984. They span the period from 1865 to 1938 and include not only sole proprietorships, but also all forms of corporate firms. 1986/87 the files were recorded and packaged by the temporary employee Margot Göbel and various students of the company under the supervision of Nikolaus Back. The undersigned revised the title records with regard to computer-assisted data acquisition using the "MIDEREGA" data processing mask from the "MIDOSA" program package of the Baden-Württemberg State Archive Administration. Hildegard Aufderklamm got the fair copy. Ulrike Leuchtweis completed the final corrections and revision of the index. Ludwigsburg, March 1990Dr. Nicole Bickhoff-Böttcher On December 10, 1992, the district court of Stuttgart delivered its commercial register volumes from 1865 to 1937 to the state archives of Ludwigsburg (access 1992/100). The volumes were signed and recorded at the end of 1993 by Hans Jürgen Seifried under the guidance of the undersigned. In the course of this, three volumes (previous signatures F 303 II Bü 529-531) already existing in fonds F 303 II were assigned to the fonds FL 300/31 II (Genossenschaftsregister) under new signatures of the volume series. Ulrike Leuchtweis, January 1994 In the course of the archive-fair repackaging of the files and the retro conversion of the finding aid book 2006-2009 the past collecting fascicles of the existence were dissolved. Each commercial register file received an individual tuft number, so that the old tufts 1-528 were re-signed into the new tufts 1-4484. The old tuft numbers are noted under pre-signature 3. The comparison between the finding aid register and the files showed that some files were not recorded in the finding aid register. These were subsequently recorded as tufts 4485-4501. The number of the last commercial register entry is noted in the file title after the company name (e.g. E 1/148: Volume 1 of the register for individual companies, Sheet 148). According to this number the find book is now also sorted. Vorsignatur 2 names the file number of the local court Ulrike Leuchtweis, September 2009

History of the Inventor: Established in June 1936 by Heinrich Himmler's decree as Reichsführer SS and Chief of the German Police; the Main Office was responsible for the administrative and protective police (including traffic and water police), the gendarmerie, the municipal and Feuerschutzpoli‧zei police, and the Technical Emergency Aid Long text: Overview of the internal official organization of the Main Office Ordnungspolizei The Law on the Reconstruction of the Reich of 30 June 1936 provides for a comprehensive overview of the internal administrative organization of the Main Office. Jan. 1934 (RGBl. I,75) the police sovereignty rights of the countries were transferred to the Reich. As a result, a police department (III) was established in the Reich Ministry of the Interior on May 1, 1934, which, after the merger of the Reich Ministry of the Interior with the Prussian Ministry of the Interior in November 1934, was united with the police department (II) of the latter. Organizationally, this development came to an end on 17 June 1936 with the appointment of Heinrich Himmler as "Reichsführer SS and Chief of the German Police in the Reich Ministry of the Interior" (RGBl. I,487). By decree of 26 June 1936 (MBliV, 946), the Reichsführer SS and Chief of the German Police divided his authority into the main offices of Ordnungspolizei and Sicherheitspolizei and subordinated them to their own bosses. The head of the Ordnungspolizei was Kurt Daluege, the former head of the police department of the Reich and Prussian Ministry of the Interior, who became ministerial director and SS-Obergruppenführer (most recently general colonel of the police and SS-Oberstgruppenführer). On 31 August 1943 he was replaced by the General of Police and Waffen-SS Alfred Wünnenberg (m.d.F.b.) until the end of the war. The administrative police, the protective police (including traffic and water police), the gendarmerie, the municipal police, the fire police and the technical emergency aid belonged to the department of the order police. The Main Office of the Ordnungspolizei was divided into "offices", of which there were initially only two: the Office of Administration and Law (VuR) and the Command Office (Kdo). The Administration and Law Office was responsible for handling all administrative police, legal and economic tasks of the entire Ordnungspolizei. Until the end of 1938, it was divided into departments, then into official groups, groups, sub-groups and subject areas. In the course of the organisational changes in the main office of the Ordnungspolizei it was dissolved in September 1943 (see below) and was headed by Ministerialdirektor Bracht until 1943. The command office dealt with all management and other general service matters of the order police. It was initially divided into offices and, since the end of 1940, into groups of offices according to the military model, etc. such as the Office of Administration and Law. From September 1943 there were special inspections at the Command Office for the technical fields of work (communication and motor vehicle systems, weapons and equipment) as well as for veterinary, air-raid protection and fire-fighting matters. The heads of the office were Lieutenant General von Bomhard (until October 1942), Lieutenant General Winkelmann (until March 1944), Major General Diermann (until July 1944) and Major General Flade (until May 1945). These two core offices of the Ordnungspolizei main office were joined by two other offices in the course of 1941. By circular decree of the Reichsführer SS and Chief of the German Police of 14 January 1941, the Colonial Police Office was established in preparation for the colonial deployment of the Ordnungspolizei. However, it lost its importance with the deterioration of the military situation in 1943 and was dissolved in March 1943 by order of the Führer. On 9 May 1941, the Fire Brigades Office was formed as the fourth office and on 30 December 1941, the Technical Emergency Assistance Office was formed as the fifth office in the Ordnungs- Polizei main office. Fundamental changes in the organization of the Ordnungspolizei main office occurred after Himmler's appointment as Reich Interior Minister (August 1943). With effect from 15 September 1943, the offices of Administration and Law, Fire Brigades and Technical Emergency Aid were dissolved. The tasks of the Office of Administration and Law were mainly transferred to the two new bodies, the Economic Administration Office and the Legal Office. However, the legal office was dissolved at the beginning of December 1943. The majority of his areas of work came to the Office of Economic Administration. By the end of the war, this office had essentially taken over the tasks and position of the old administration and law office again. Its chief became the SS-Obergruppenführer and general of the Waffen-SS and police August Frank from the SS-Wirtschaftsverwaltungshauptamt. Most of the areas previously dealt with by the Fire Brigades and Technical Emergency Aid Offices fell to the Command Office, parts also to the newly formed "Reichsämter" Volunteer Fire Brigades and Technical Emergency Aid. The designation "Reichsamt" expressed the special character of these organizations as public corporations. As an office directly subordinated to the head of the Ordnungspolizei, the Sanitäts-Amt, which was detached from the Kommando-Amt (Amtsgruppe III) on 1 Oct. 1944, is to be mentioned. Relocation measures during the war (For this and the following section compare: Jürgen Huck; alternative places and file fate of the main office Ordnungspolizei in the 2nd World War in: Neufeldt, Huck, Tessin: Zur Geschichte der Ordnungspolizei 1936 - 1945; Koblenz 1957) Until 1942, most of the Ordnungspolizei main office was housed in the old office building of the Prussian Ministry of the Interior in Berlin NW 7, Unter den Linden 72/74. In the course of the year 1942, the office administration and law was transferred to Berlin-Halensee, Kurfürstendamm 106/107. His successor, the Wirtschaftsverwaltungsamt, had to leave the building as a result of bombing and in February 1944 moved into an office building in Berlin-Lichterfelde, Unter den Eichen 126, together with the official groups I (Economy) and III (Accommodation) and the group "Personnel". The official group II (administration) sat in the barracks camp in Berlin-Zehlendorf, Potsdamer Chaussee, and the official group IV (supply and law) in the building Unter den Linden 72/74 until its dissolution in February 1944. At the end of March 1944, after parts of the group "Personal" and the official group II had already gone to Biesenthal, the entire economic administration office was transferred to the alternative camp "Heidenberg" near Biesenthal/Mark in the district of Oberbarnim. After the air raid of 23/24 November 1943 had severely damaged the building Unter den Linden 72/74, the Kommando Office was transferred to the barracks of the alternative camp "Paula" near Biesenthal in December 1943. Only the inspection L (Luftschutz) remained in the service building in Berlin, Schadowstraße 2, until April 20, 1945. The inspection Feuerschutzpolizei (in the Offiziersschule der Ordnungspolizei in Eberswalde), parts of the inspection Veterinärwesen (in Cottbus) and parts of the personnel groups (in the Offiziersschule der Ordnungspolizei in Berlin-Köpenick) were accommodated elsewhere. The group "War History" was transferred to the Waffenschule der Ordnungspolizei in Dresden-Hellerau in August 1943 and one year later to the castle of Prince Carl von Trauttmannsdorff in Bischofteinitz near Taus (Bohemia). On the other hand, the parts of the motor vehicle inspection initially transferred to Dresden were moved to Biesenthal in November 1944, so that this inspection was closed in the "Paula" camp until April 1945. In March 1945, the relocation to Potsdam-Babelsberg was ordered for the offices of the Chief of Ordnungspolizei in and around Berlin. As a result of the rushing war events, this and other projects (Suhl and Weimar) could not be carried out. At the end of March/beginning of April 1945 it was therefore decided to divide the main office of the Ordnungspolizei into a south and a north staff. The division of services between the two staffs is opaque. The mass, however, has been assigned to the south staff. In the 2nd half of April, the "Süd" task force moved to the officers' school of the Ordnungspolizei in Fürstenfeldbruck. A large part of his staff was dismissed here. On April 28, 1945, the miniaturized working staff drove to Eben/Achensee (Tyrol) and was captured by the Americans in mid-May 1945 in Rottach-Egern (Tegernsee). The "North" task force left Biesenthal on 18 April 1945, reached Flensburg via Lübeck at the beginning of May and was captured there by the English at the Harriesleefeld fire brigade school. Inventory description: Inventory history Reference: Koblenz Inventory Fate of the files of the Main Office Ordnungspolizei The mass of files of the Chief of Ordnungspolizei must be considered lost. The processes that led to this loss are still largely in the dark. We are relatively well informed about the fate of larger parts of the old registries of the Chief of the Ordnungspolizei, which mainly contained files of the former police departments of the Prussian Ministry of the Interior and the Reich Ministry of the Interior as well as those of the Prussian State Police dissolved in 1935/36, and about the files of the group "War History". The old registries of the Chief of the Ordnungspolizei were located in the so-called "Archive of the Main Office of the Ordnungspolizei", which was renamed "Aktenverwaltung des Hauptamtes Ordnungspolizei" from October 1941 on the objection of the General Director of the State Archives. During the war, the holdings of this file administration can be found in the service buildings Unter den Linden, Kurfürstendamm and Breitestraße. From 1941 to 1944, about 8,500 volumes of files from the police department registries of the Prussian Ministry of the Interior, taken over by the head of the Ordnungspolizei, were handed over to the Prussian Secret State Archives in Berlin-Dahlem. The Secret State Archives had for the most part outsourced these files to Central German mines. From there, together with the other outsourced holdings, they probably came to the Central State Archives II of the GDR in Merseburg. Files of unknown size of the police department of the Reich Ministry of the Interior, mainly through the Schutz- und Kriminalpolizei-, which had been taken over by the head of the Ordnungspolizei in 1936, arrived in 1941/42 from the Hauptamt Ordnungspolizei to the Reichsarchiv in Potsdam, where they were most probably destroyed by the air raid of 14./15. 4. 1945. The files of the Prussian State Police from 1933 to 1935, which were transferred to the Wehrmacht in 1935, appear to have been transferred to the Army Archives in Potsdam during the war. Here they were probably burned as a result of the air raid of April 1945. Far more incomplete than the old registries are our knowledge about the fate of the current registries at the Main Office Ordnungspolizei. At the end of the war the following registrations have to be proved: O - Adjutantur O - HB Head Office O - Jurist O - Kdo Adjutantur O - Kdo WF Weltanschauliche Führung O - Kdo Org/Ia Organisation, Einsatz, Führung O - Kdo I - Ib Nachschuf O - Kdo I Ausb Ausbildung O - Kdo I Sp.

Only the following incomplete news about their whereabouts have become known to the Federal Archives so far. A part of the personnel files of the command office (registries O-Kdo II P) seems to have been moved in 1943/44 in agreement with the Reichsamt Technische Nothilfe to the castle Eisenhardt in Belzig/Mark (TN school). His fate is unknown. Another part came in spring 1945 first to the police administration Gera, then to Weimar or Gschenda, Kr. Arnstadt, was temporarily brought back to Biesenthal and went in April 1945 with the south staff to Fürstenfeldbruck. Already in Biesenthal the mass of files about the law for civil servants burned, and further losses entered on the march from there to Fürstenfeldbruck by low-flying fire. In Fürstenfeldbruck and at the beginning of May 1945 in Eben, the mass of the files carried along by members of the South Staff was burned. The personnel files of the Economic Administration Office (registry O-W Pers.) were moved to Thuringian towns together with those of the Commando Office in the spring of 1945. They arrived via the police administration in Gera at the Linda police supply camp near Neustadt a. d. Orla - according to other news also to Gschwenda - and returned to Biesenthal for a short time when the Americans arrived, after considerable parts had been burned in Thuringia due to a misunderstood radio message. From there, they were taken to Fürstenfeldbruck by the hourly staff in April 1945, losing their lives in air raids. Here and in Eben, most of the files were destroyed at the end of April/beginning of May 1945. According to other sources, however, it was burned in Maurach/Achensee at the beginning of May 1945 according to further files. A special fate had the files of the group "War History" of the command office (registry O-Kdo I KrG). In the course of the war, a "special archive" had been created for the group through the release of material from the area of the Ordnungspolizei that was important for the history of the war. Among its best sands, the diaries of the SS Police Division established in 1939, the 35th SS (Police) Grenadier Division established in 1945, the SS Police Regiments, the Police Shooting Regiments, the police battalions and other police troop units, as well as a collection of the most important decrees of the Main Office of the Ordnungspolizei (Ordnungspolizei - Ordnungspolizei - Order Police Department) are to be emphasized. These valuable documents were completely destroyed at the end of April/beginning of May 1945 by members of the group "War History" in Bischofteinitz/Bohemia. It is still unclear to what extent the records of the chief of the Ordnungspolizei are kept today by GDR offices. It is only certain that the holdings "Reichsministerium des Innern" of the Central State Archives I in Potsdam under Dept. III contain 46 volumes about the police from the period 1934 to 1937 and personnel files from the main office of the Ordnungspolizei. The remains of the personnel group registries not destroyed in Fürstenfeldbruck and Eben, and apparently also parts of other registries of the Main Office Ordnungspolizei, were confiscated by the Americans. After the occupation of the Offiziersschule der Ordnungspolizei in Fürstenfeldbruck, the police inspected the files they had found, took them to a warehouse, transported them away in the autumn of 1945, leaving behind the person of no interest to them. The material remaining there from the personnel registry of the Economic Administration Office was transferred directly to the Federal Archives in November 1954 via the Bavarian Main State Archives, Dept. I, that of the Command Office in January 1955 and in July 1957 from the Bavarian Police School Fürstenfeldbruck. As early as December 1956, about 550 personnel notebooks of the Kommando-Amtes with the initial letters M - Z had arrived here, which, initially confiscated, had been handed over by the American military government to the Command of the Schutzpolizei in Wiesbaden in 1949 and there - with a stock of originally about 900 notebooks - had been reduced by the handing over of documents about reused police personnel to their office. The main mass of the removed files, however, was first transferred to the file depot of the U.S. Army (Departmental Records Branch) in Alexandria/Virginia and filmed within the Records Group 1010/EAP 170 - 175 (Microfilm Guide 39). The transfer from there to the Federal Archives took place in April 1962. Further file takeovers took place from documents that had initially been brought together in the Document Center in Berlin - first in 1957 personal files on gendarmerie officials via the Hessian Ministry of the Interior, then in 1962 on a larger scale and directly in connection with the so-called Schumacher Collection of documents from various organizational units and at about the same time Daluege's reconstructed files from biographical materials of the Adjutantur of the Chief of Ordnungspolizei. Other provenances that have been grouped according to biographical criteria can still be found in the Berlin Document Center. In the summer of 1957, the former chief of the command office, Lieutenant General of the Ordnungspolizei a. D. Adolf v. Bomhard, two volumes of files personally secured by him (R 19/282 and 283) and, in addition, the documents listed under C in the Annex. 1958 followed tax, salary and wage documents of former employees of the main witness office of the Ordnungspolizei of the Versorgungsanstalt des Bundes und der Länder in Karlsruhe. Finally, files of the Reich Office Voluntary Fire Brigades were handed over by the Oberfinanzdirektion Hamburg in 1957 and 1964. Archival evaluation and processing Reference: Koblenz stock In view of the insignificance or absence of other records handed down by the police and the need under pension law for proof of service time for members of the police force, a thorough cassation was dispensed with. On the other hand, in order to fill at least some of the gaps in the status quo, not only the official printed matter of the Main Office Ordnungspolizei was listed, but also important matters concerning the Ordnungspolizei from the holdings of the Federal Archives R 43 (Reich Chancellery), R 18 (Reich Ministry of the Interior), R 2 (Reich Ministry of Finance), R 22 (Reich Ministry of Justice), NS 19 (Personal Staff Reichsführer SS), NS 7 (SS and Police Jurisdiction) and R 36 (Deutscher Gemeindetag (German Community Day) were incorporated, without the aim of completeness. On the other hand, the stocks R 20 (chief of the gang combat units; schools of the order police) and R 70 (police services of integrated, affiliated and occupied areas of the 2nd world war), which must be consulted anyway with appropriate investigations, were completely omitted. When classifying the stock, it was not possible to structure the stock in accordance with the registry principle, given the incomplete nature of the preserved files, any more than it was possible to do a close analogy to the administrative structure of the main office. Therefore, an ideal structure of the competence area of the Main Office Ordnungspolizei was developed which was adapted to the importance of the subject areas actually handed down in the inventory. Dr. Neufeldt, Mr. Huck, Mr. Schatz, Dr. Boberach, Dr. Werner and Mr. Marschall were particularly involved in the chronological order in which the inventory was developed.

I. On the history of the medical administration in Württemberg: The health care system already received a comprehensive and thorough promotion through the Great Church Constitution of Duke Christopher of 1579 in Altwürttemberg. A special section on physicians and wound physicians dealt with their ability to practice internal and external medicine, with the support of pharmacies to strengthen and maintain the power of the people, and with the care of the poor. supervision of the health system was then entrusted to the ducal church council with the involvement of experts, namely the two Collegia medica (medical bodies), which consisted of the ducal physicians in Stuttgart and the professors of the medical faculty in Tübingen.Over the years, health promotion has been supplemented by a series of special regulations and all existing provisions on doctors, wound doctors, pharmacists and midwives have been combined into a whole by the two medical regulations of 30.10.1720 (Reyscher XIII p. 1185) and 16.10.1755 (Reyscher XIV p. 416). In 1734 a medical college was set up for the epidemic police, and from 1755 the medical deputation had to watch over the health of humans and animals. King Friedrich then put the promotion of the health service on a modern basis. Instead of the medical deputation, he set up a special directorate, the Royal Medical Department, in the organizational manifesto of 1806 for the administration of the "medical institutions and the medical service", which was transformed into the Section of the Medical Service in 1811. It consisted of two personal doctors and two junior doctors under the administration of the interior. According to an instruction dated 23.6.1806 (Reg.Bl. p. 32), its tasks included the supervision of all main and auxiliary health care personnel and all public hospitals as well as the prevention of human and animal diseases. In addition, the two Collegia medica continued to exist. The "Physio" were subordinated to the Medical Department. According to the general decree of June 3, 1808 (Reg. Bl. p. 313) they had to make sure that the medical persons belonging to their district complied with their duty. The health service in the countryside was then regulated in detail by the general decree of March 14/22, 1814 (Reg. Bl. p. 121), which adapted the medical constitution to the new division according to upper offices and bailiwicks. Each senior office received a public health officer under the name of Senior Medical Officer, who was to supervise all medical institutions and the other medical personnel, inspect the pharmacies and the wound doctors and their instruments, and instruct and inspect the midwives. In each bailiwick one of the senior physicians was also employed as a bailiff's doctor. He had the higher supervision over these institutions and persons and was obliged to check the medical conditions in his bailiwick's district every four years. The health care system was reorganised by King Wilhelm's decree of 6 June 1818 (Reg. Bl. p. 313). The section of the medical system was transformed into the Medical College, but only the purely technical objects were taken over by it: The health police and the management of the health police institutions were assigned partly to the Ministry of the Interior and partly to the new district governments, to which (until 1881) a practising doctor, the district medical doctor (the former bailiff's doctor), was assigned as an extraordinary member. Against the fear of being buried alive, the statutory post-mortem examination was introduced by decree of 20.6.1833 (Reyscher XV.2 p. 1016). The pharmacies were already under the supervision of the health administration according to the directive of 1807. A new task for the promotion of public health was brought by the decree of 14.3.1860 (Reg.Bl. p. 37) on the supervision of the traffic with meat. After the entry of Württemberg into the German Reich, the development of the Württtemberg health care system could continue without change for the time being. Through the Constitution of the Reich, the Reich had reserved to itself only the supervision and legislation on "measures of the medical and veterinary police" and had established the Reich Health Office for this purpose. The structure and tasks of the higher health authority in Württemberg were adapted to the development of the economy and medical science in recent years by ordinance of 21.10.1880 (Reg. Bl. 1881, p. 3) and decree of 21.6.1881 (Reg.Bl. p. 398). The Medical College was then "the central authority for the supervision and technical direction of medical and public health care". The district governments were thus eliminated. Accordingly, the county medical councils were abolished and their tasks were transferred partly to the senior physicians and partly to the medical college. Medical College, Department of State Hospitals" for the processing of objects via the State Hospitals, the State Midwifery School and the lunatic system, and a further department called "Royal Medical College, Veterinary Department" was established to handle all business in the field of veterinary medicine. The Medical College was repealed by law of 15.12.1919 (Reg.Bl. p. 41) on the reorganization of the health system with effect from 1.1.1920. Its tasks were transferred by decree of 17.12.1919 (Reg.Bl. p. 420) to the Ministry of the Interior and the authorities and institutions subordinated to it. TWO. On the history of the holdings: The files of the Medical College were delivered in four volumes (1911, 1921, 1930 and 1957) to the Ludwigsburg State Archives, partly directly and partly via the Ministry of the Interior, and have since been listed in the general overview as individual holdings. In the current reorganisation, they have been combined to form a single portfolio. In the course of this work, the files on the state hospitals - which until 1880 had not been directly subject to the Medical College - were excavated and combined into a special collection (now E 163, Administration of the State Hospitals). In addition to the files of the Medical College (1818-1920) and its previous authorities, the Medical Department (1806-1811) and the Section of Medical Science (1811-1817), the present holdings E 162 I also contain individual files of the ducal medical deputation, which were left in the holdings for reasons of expediency. In addition, the files on pharmacies that had grown up with the four district governments and had entered the registry of the Medical College in 1909 were retained. Occasionally there are also archives of the superior authority of the Ministry of the Interior. Diaries of the Supervisory Commission for State Hospitals were attached to the diaries of the Medical College. Since the incorporation of this commission into the Medical College, they have in any case been included in the diaries of the Medical College together with the veterinary department of the Medical College, which had also been newly formed, and the holdings were re-recorded in 1971-1977 by the archivist Erwin Biemann and the undersigned and brought into the present order. It was not possible to fall back on the old registry structure. The holdings E 162 II contains personal files of doctors, dentists, surgeons, obstetricians, veterinarians and pharmacists of the same provenance. Ludwigsburg, 15 December 1977W. Bürkle

1. On the history of the authorities: In the Duchy of Württemberg the Latin schools were usually established by church offices and occupied by theologians as teachers. Local supervision was exercised by the respective "scholarchate", which was subordinate to the church convent and the consistory. It was not until the organisational manifesto of 1806 (Reyscher XI, 341) that a special secular secondary school authority was created for Württemberg, the upper directorate of studies or upper directorate of studies. The president of this authority, who was also chancellor of the University of Tübingen, was initially only in charge of the university, the Tübinger Stift, the evang theological seminars and the grammar schools. In 1817 the Oberstudiendirektion received the designation "Königl. Studienrat". He was now also entrusted with the supervision of the Latin schools, while the University of Tübingen was directly subordinated to the Ministry of Church and Education. With the exception of the university, the Wilhelmsstift and the elementary schools, the Studienrat was the supreme authority for all educational institutions. He was in charge of the district inspections of the Latin schools, the Lyceums and grammar schools with the associated secondary schools and institutions of the country. In addition to the supervision of all public secondary schools, he supervised the scientific and moral education of the students, their health care and the benefits. He determined the teachers and servants, hired them and dismissed them. The study council had the direct supervision over the grammar schools, Lyceums and the evang. seminars, for the lower Latin schools, the higher citizen schools and the secondary schools existed a middle place in the common upper offices and the district school inspectors, the since 1839 existing polytechnic school in Stuttgart, which 1829 as Gewerbeschule in connection with the secondary and art school created (Reg.Bl. 1829, p. 16), however 1832 (Reg.Bl. S. 395) was separated from these again and continued as an independent educational institution, was directly subordinated to the Ministry by order of the Ministry for Church and Education of 16 April 1862 § 52 (Reg.Bl.Bl. p. 109), which emerged from the "Geistliche Departement" created by King Frederick Friedrich, without any intermediate authority. The aim was to simplify the course of business and bring the ministry closer to the schools. As a secondary school authority, however, the ministerial department remained a state authority. The Minister brought important matters, which had previously had to be submitted in writing, mostly to the collegial consultations held under his chairmanship. The other, less important matters were dealt with by the departmental board in a collegial or office manner. The law of 1.7.1876 (Reg.Bl. p. 267) brought a reorganization in the local supervision: Institutions with upper classes were now subordinated to the upper study authority (ministerial department), the remaining schools were supervised by the local school authority. These local school commissions consisted of local heads and local chaplains. They were only abolished by the "small school law" of 1920 and their tasks were transferred to the school board. By announcement of the Ministry of Church and Education of 8.8.1903 (Reg.Bl. p. 456), the Ministerial Department for Schools and Real Schools received the designation "Royal Ministerial Department for Secondary Schools". Their duties remained the same. Its position vis-à-vis the secondary schools was twofold: 1. it was the highest authority in matters that fell within the competence of the Ministry; 2. it was the highest authority in matters that fell within the competence of the Ministry; 3. it was the highest authority in matters that fell within the competence of the Ministry. Important matters were dealt with through collegial consultations chaired by the Minister or his deputy. The other matters were dealt with through the rapporteurs' presentations. As an independent state college, it was the secondary school authority in all areas of higher education, insofar as they did not fall within the direct competence of the ministry itself. After the collapse in 1945, the ministerial department was abolished as a special office. Their tasks were taken over by the ministries of education and cultural affairs of the regions in northern and southern Württemberg, which were separated by the occupation authorities. With the reunification of the state of Baden-Württemberg and the founding of the southwestern state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952, high school offices were set up at the regional councils as middle instances, which took over individual subordinate administrative tasks from the ministry. 2. on the history of the collection: Most of the files on hand arrived from the Ministry of Culture in Stuttgart in 1949 and 1950 (Tgb.-No. 287 and 393/49 or 685/50). The files of the headmaster's office and the study council concerning the University of Tübingen and the Polytechnic School in Stuttgart had already been handed over to the State Archives by the Ministry of Culture in 1908. Both educational institutions were, as mentioned above, under the direct control of the ministry since 1817 and 1862 respectively. Finally, in 1953, after the reunification of the two parts of the state of North Württemberg and Südwürttemberg-Hohenzollern, which had been separated by the occupying powers after the collapse of 1945, the State Archives of Sigmaringen handed over to the State Archives the local records of the higher schools in their area, which had been transferred there in 1949. The reorganization of the holdings by the undersigned, with the help of the archive employee W. Böhm, began in 1960. It was interrupted several times by other work, even over a period of years, and was not completed until 1971. In addition to the files of the Oberstudiendirektion (1806-1817), the Studienrat (from 1817) and the Ministerialabteilung (from 1866), the collection also contains the files of the Konsistorium über die Lateinschulen for the years 1806-1817 as well as the files of the Kommission für die höhere Mädchenschulwesen (Commission for the Higher Schools for Girls) established in 1877-1905 (established by the law of 30 June 1876).12.1877, Reg.Bl. p. 294; repealed by law of 30.12.1877, Reg.Bl. p. 294; repealed by law of 27.7.1903, Reg.Bl. p. 254) were left here since their duties were later taken over by the Ministerial Department for the Secondary Schools. Finally, there are still isolated files of different provenance, mostly pre-files, which were left in the inventory for reasons of expediency, but were marked as such in the corresponding place. 1805 the inventory now comprises tufts = 42 linear metres. The holdings E 203 I (personal files of the teachers) and E 203 II (admission work for the teaching profession at secondary schools) contain files of the same provenance Ludwigsburg, August 1973W.

I: With the Law of 6 November 1926 on the State Ministry and the Ministries, the Ministry of Economy replaced the Ministry of Labour and Food, which had been established in 1918. Since then it has been - under changing names - the supreme state authority for state economic management. In December 1946, the areas of responsibility of agriculture and food were spun off and merged into an independent Ministry for Food, Agriculture and Forestry (EA/7). In 1947, the Price Supervision Office, which had previously been integrated into the Ministry of Economics itself, was also spun off and became an independent authority within the Economic Administration. As of 1 June 1948, the tasks of the Ministry of Economics were divided into the following business units:1. General, Organization and Chancellery Directorate2. Economic recording and economic organisation3. Commercial law4. Craft and other trades5. Foreign trade, inter-zone traffic6. Industry7. Planning, raw material and production control8. Pricing9. Economic statistics (for the business divisions see also Büschel 139 No.244)Josef André (CDU) from September 1945 to May 1946, Heinrich Köhler (CDU) from May to November 1946 and Hermann Veit (SPD) from December 1946 to June 1960 were the ministers in charge of the Ministry of Economic Affairs: II: The present file EA 6/001 (former signature EA 6/3) was handed over by the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Small and Medium-sized Enterprises and Transport to the Main State Archives in February 1975. These are general administrative files that have been stored according to a decimal file plan. However, this file plan could neither be found nor reconstructed. The subsequent structuring therefore took place according to the above-mentioned business parts; since, however, not all files could be integrated meaningfully into this order scheme, the order according to business parts was modified and supplemented during the processing. The pre-files in the inventory that were created before May 1945 were pulled out - as far as whole tufts were concerned - and assigned to inventory E 384 (Ministry of Economics 1926-1945). Individual documents dating from before 1945 were, however, left in the inventory. The majority of the files date from the period 1945-1952, with pre-files from 1869 and post-files up to 1970. ten tufts of files (the numbers 300, 301, 306, 312, 317 and 329 = 0.2 m) from the Ministry of Economic Affairs Württemberg-Hohenzollern were handed over to the Sigmaringen State Archives during the current indexing and rearrangement of the holdings. A total of 0.8 linear metres of files, mainly containing copies and hectographs, were collected, so that the stock now comprises 10.6 linear metres. The new indexing and structuring took place between September 1990 and March 1991 by the undersigned. The packing of the tufts in archive boxes provided archive of employed Fröhlich. The index was created with the help of data processing on the basis of the MIDOSA program package of the State Archive Administration of Baden-Württemberg.Stuttgart, August 1992Sabine Schnell
