The files of the present holdings NW 223 were handed over to the Main State Archives on 13 October 1976 in 10 packages and 8 files and were accepted under No. III 82/76. These are documents of the Zoological Research Institute and Museum Alexander Koenig, Bonn, which document the emergence of the institute as a foundation and its work as a state institution. Numerous purchase contracts for the properties on which the construction of the Museum Koenig and the Villa Hammerschmidt, today's "House of the Federal President", are located, provide information about the development of the former rural property in this area in the second half of the 19th century. The construction of the museum building, a neo-Renaissance building, is documented, as is the transfer of the furnishings to the Reich as a result of unsuccessful efforts to complete the construction with Prussia's own funds or with the help of the Prussian government. The correspondences convey a vivid picture of the patriarchal character of the "Reichsinstitut" under the direction of its founder, Prof. Dr. Alexander Koenig. The scientific diaries as well as the documents belonging to the "Alexander Koenig Foundation" on the basis of testamentary provisions are still kept in the Koenig Museum. For the history of the institution and the Koenig family cf. Martin Eisentraut, Alexander Koenig und sein Werk, Bonn 1973. For the history of the Zoological Research Institute and Museum A. Koenig after 1945 cf. also the holdings NW 60. The holdings were recorded from December 1976 to January 1977 by the State Archives Council, Dr. Jürgen Rainer Wolf.

1. 1 The Dukes of Urach Counts of Württemberg: The Dukes of Urach Counts of Württemberg are a branch line of the House of Württemberg. In 1800 the fourth son of Duke Friedrich Eugen von Württemberg, Duke Wilhelm von Württemberg, married a court lady of his mother: twenty-three-year-old Wilhelmine von Tunderfeld-Rhodis. According to the house laws, this marriage with a woman who did not come from the high nobility was uneven; Duke Wilhelm therefore renounced the succession to the throne for his descendants on August 1, 1801. On 20 April 1801 the reigning Duke Friedrich, Duke Wilhelm's eldest brother, had already recognised the marriage as a full marriage to the right hand and determined that the descendants of Duke Wilhelm should bear the name Counts of Württemberg. Thus a new branch line of the House of Württemberg was created. The second son, Count Wilhelm, who also bore the name Wilhelm, was raised to the rank of first Duke of Urach by King Karl in 1867. The new ducal dignity was hereditary in the male tribe; the corresponding elevation of the younger children to the princedom was to underline the close connection of the branch line with the main line and determine its rank immediately after the royal house before all other class masters of the kingdom. Through the conversion of Wilhelm I to the Catholic denomination of his wife and children in 1862, the House of Urach became a consciously Catholic dynasty of princes from the very beginning. With the construction of the Lichtenstein Castle on the Albrand above the Echaztal in 1840/41, the Duke, who died in 1869, set himself a lasting monument. All further details about the House of Urach and its individual members can be found in the article by Wolfgang Schmierer, Die Seitenlinie der Herzöge von Urach (since 1867). In: The House of Württemberg - a biographical encyclopedia. Edited by Sönke Lorenz, Dieter Mertens and Volker Press. Stuttgart, Berlin, Cologne 1997 pp. 376 - 398. The genealogy reproduced after the preface is also taken from this. 2.1 The total holdings of the Archives of Duke of Urach Count of Württemberg: The holdings listed here, the estate of Wilhelm II Duke of Urach Count of Württemberg, represent part of the total archives of the family. This was kept at Schloss Lichtenstein until 1987. Due to a deposit agreement between H.S.H. Karl Anselm Duke of Urach Count of Württemberg as representative of the Herzog family of Urach Count of Württemberg and the State of Baden-Württemberg, represented by the Hauptstaatsarchiv Stuttgart, dated 14 July / 5 August 1987, it has been deposited in the Hauptstaatsarchiv Stuttgart since then. Because of their literary references, parts of the documents of Wilhelm I and Count Alexander were simultaneously handed over to the German Literature Archive in Marbach, where they are stored under the signature D 88.6. The archive was completely unsorted when it was transferred to the Main State Archives. Nor were there any finding aids that could have been reused. Only a part of the documents is listed in a directory of 1927/28, which was included in the delivery; in addition, the order on which this directory is based was fundamentally destroyed at an unknown time. A large part of the material was unpacked or stored in open cartons. In 1995, Archive Director Dr. Wolfgang Schmierer carried out an initial inspection, tidying and preliminary packaging of the material. He subdivided the entire collection into partial collections, to which he assigned signatures corresponding to the numbering of the family members in his article on the Herzog von Urach Graf von Württemberg family, which was written parallel to the work on order. The GU 1 et seq. sub-funds to be structured in more detail comprise documents on real estate and asset management. The GU 100 sub-collection contains foreign archives and collections. The GU 101 - 134 partial holdings were created as personal estates of individual family members and GU 201 - 203 of related parties. Some overlaps were inevitable. If documents were kept throughout the period of activity of a single duke, they were assigned to the signatures GU 1 et seq. in the order An overview of the current status of the subdivision into partial holdings can be found below. It is possible that the structure will be modified in the course of further development work. An impressive record of Wolfgang Schmierer's work from February 10, 1995 to March 21, 1996 (Kanzleiakten 7511.5-2-D.1: Erschließung des Archivs der Herzöge von Urach) provides information on the orderly work carried out by Wolfgang Schmierer. 2.2 The subportfolio GU 117: The following subportfolio GU 117 Herzog Wilhelm II. von Urach comprises documents, which Wolfgang Schmierer has formed in the course of his order work Wolfgang Schmierers. Duke Wilhelm II (1864 - 1928) was born as the first son of Wilhelm I and his second wife Princess Florestine of Monaco in Monaco and already at the age of five the second Duke of Urach. He entered the traditional military career and was commander general of the Generalkommandos z.b.V. in the First World War. No. 64 and General of the Cavalry. In 1927 the volume Die 26. Infanterie-Division im Weltkrieg 1914 - 1918, Teil I 1914 -1915, edited by him, appeared in the series Württembergs Heer im Weltkrieg. Wilhelm II. ran several times for a vacant throne: 1910 for Monaco, 1913 for the new Kingdom of Albania, in the war for Poland and for a Grand Duchy of Alsace-Lorraine and 1918 for the planned Kingdom of Lithuania. Arnold Zweig used the episode of his election as King of Lithuania, in which he was given the name Mindaugas II, in his 1937 novel Einsetzung eines Königs. In 1922 Wilhelm, who devoted himself to scientific activities after the war, received his doctorate in philosophy from the University of Tübingen with a dissertation on the urban geography of Reutlingen. Wilhelm II married Amalie Herzogin in Bavaria in 1892 (1865 - 1912). The marriage produced four sons (Wilhelm III, Karl Gero, Albrecht, Eberhard) and five daughters (Maria Gabriela, Elisabeth, Carola Hilda, Margarethe, Mechthilde). In his second marriage he married Wiltrud, née Princess of Bavaria, in 1924, and since the partial holdings of Duke Wilhelm II are particularly extensive and of particular importance in many respects (applications for the throne, constitutional status of the House of Urach, World War I), Wolfgang Schmierer, in agreement with the Landesarchivdirektion Baden-Württemberg, made the decision to place his indexing at the beginning of the indexing of the entire holdings and to apply for third-party funding. Within the framework of a project of the Stiftung Kulturgut Baden-Württemberg, which we would like to take this opportunity to thank sincerely for its support, the temporary employee Hansjörg Oswald was able to demetalise, open up and package GU 117 in the period from November 1995 to July 1997. Wolfgang Schmierer was personally responsible for the support. Due to the serious illness, which he finally succumbed to on 7 October 1997, Wolfgang Schmierer was unable to complete the classification and final editing of the title recordings, which he had largely worked on. This was done by the undersigned in May 2000 with the support of Katharina Ernst, a trainee archivist. At the highest level, the holdings are divided into civil and military documents. The sequence of title recordings within the individual items corresponds to the chronology. This also applies to correspondence files; since these have been kept very differently over the years, they have not been formed into series. After development and packaging, the GU 117 subportfolio comprises 1354 tufts and volumes totalling 36.4 linear metres with a duration of 1864 to 1929. The use by third parties is regulated as follows in the Depositalvertrag: The consent of the head of the Herzog von Urach Graf von Württemberg family must be obtained before the archive can be used by third parties. Conditions may be imposed on consent. If consent is not refused or restricted, the management of the Main State Archives - within the framework of the regulations for use of the state archives of Baden-Württemberg - regulates the use. In any case the users are to be obligated to respect the personal rights. Stuttgart, 20 June 2000Dr. Robert Kretzschmar Ltd. Archive Director

• description: - Preliminary remark - - History of institutions - The Secret Upper Tribunal was formed on 30 November 1782 in the course of the judicial reform of the Grand Chancellor v. Carmer. With extended jurisdiction and as an independent all-Prussian court, it continued the functions of the Higher Appellate Court (1703-1748) [see inventory "GStA PK, I. HA Rep. 97 A Higher Appellate Court"] and the Tribunal as the 4th Senate at the Court of Appeal (1748-1782) [see inventory "GStA PK, I. HA Rep. 97 Court of Appeal"]. This brought to a conclusion a development that had already been prepared in the increasingly autonomous jurisdictional functions and in the constantly growing territorial jurisdiction of the Tribunal. The Court of Justice ruled in the third instance and in the appeal instance and was directly subordinate to the Department of Justice and from 1808 to the Ministry of Justice. - The territorial competence of the Secret Upper Tribunal for all Prussian provinces was restricted only for a short time due to the autonomy claim of the Neumark. The appeal rulings in Neumark affairs were initially drawn up in the name of the Privy Council of State. The territorial expansion of Prussia's territory in the 19th century resulted in the temporary division of the appeal instance into several courts on several occasions. This division of territorial competence was accompanied by important organisational changes. At the beginning of the 19th century, for example, the expansion of tasks made it necessary to delegate the appeal proceedings to higher regional courts with a dispute value of less than 500 talers from 1803 or less than 2000 talers after 1815. Furthermore, since 1815 the Province of Neuvorpommern and the Province of Poznan had their own courts of appeal in the Court of Appeal in Greifswald and in the 2nd Senate of the Higher Court of Appeal in Poznan. An essential restriction of the territorial competence of the upper tribunal meant the secondary order of a Rhenish Court of Appeal and Cassation for the territories of French law since 1819. In order to reduce this fragmentation, the delegation of appeal proceedings to higher regional courts was abolished in 1833 and the appeal senate in Posen was dissolved in 1834. - The jurisdiction of the upper tribunal was considerably restricted by the fact that the appeal in political criminal cases had been transferred to the Privy Judicial Council at the Court of Appeal since the beginning of the trials against the bourgeois-democratic movement. - The revolution of 1848/49 partially enforced the bourgeois demand for state legal unity in Prussia. The Prussian National Assembly included a provision in its draft constitution to unite the supreme courts. The demand continued in the constitutional debate of the two chambers of the Landtag in March 1849 could be enforced against the resistance of the Rhenish jurists, so that the announcement of a uniform court also passed from the imposed to the agreed constitution. This constitutional principle was implemented according to the law of March 1852. Already after the January regulation of 1849 the upper tribunal had been declared the highest instance in cases also from the district of the appellate court Greifswald. On January 1, 1853, the upper tribunal was merged with the Rheinischer Revisions- und Kassationshof (Rhenish Court of Appeal and Cassation), which meant that the Geheimer Justizrat (Privy Judicial Council) was joined by a unified supreme court, whose name was changed from Geheimes Obertribunal to Obertribunal (Privy Upper Tribunal) as a result of the public nature of the court hearings introduced in 1849. Its territorial competence was extended in 1851 to the newly accrued Hohenzollern principalities. - A temporary change in the leadership of the Prussian court organization occurred once again as a result of the 1866 war. Of the annexed areas, only the courts of the city of Frankfurt (Main) were directly assigned to the upper tribunal as an appeal instance. For the provinces Schleswig-Holstein, Hannover, Hessen-Nassau as well as for the duchy Lauenburg and the principalities Waldeck and Pyrmont a new court of appeal was formed in Berlin in 1867. It was united with the Supreme Tribunal in February 1874, and from 1851 the Supreme Tribunal was joined by the Disciplinary Court and the Formally Independent Court for Church Affairs, established in 1873 as a result of the Kulturkampf. The institutional historical development of the Upper Tribunal is characteristic of the efforts to achieve formal legal unity in Prussia, which was documented in its Supreme Court. - The mostly erratic expansion of the task area is also reflected in the inner structure of the upper tribunal. The Court had begun its work in the 18th century with a Senate occupied by a chief president, nine tribunal councils and a protonotarius of the upper tribunal. After 1874 it was divided into eight senates, in which one president, five vice-presidents and 62 supreme tribunal councils were active as judges. This resulted in a subdivision into a Senate for Personal Law, two Senates for Property Law, one Senate for Obligatory Law, two Senates for Civil Law of the Rhineland and the territories annexed in 1866, one Senate for Criminal Matters and one Senate for Disciplinary Investigations against Judicial Officials. The highest body was the plenum, which united all senates. The Upper Tribunal received a considerable increase in personnel when one of the main demands of the Vormärz and the Revolution of 1848/49, namely the publicity of civil and criminal proceedings, was enforced. In 1852, a Prosecutor General's Office was formed as an independent structural part of the Upper Tribunal, consisting of one Prosecutor General and three Prosecutors General. In addition, there were the lawyers admitted to the upper tribunal, whose number rose to 19 after the takeover of the so-called Public Ministry of the Rhineland Court of Appeal and Cassation. Since 1856 there has also been an honorary council of lawyers at the upper tribunal, which was renewed every two years. An administrative office of the Upper Tribunal had been available since the 1930s and was eventually staffed by 15 officials. - The Upper Tribunal was personally connected to the Higher Censorship Court constituted in 1843, three of whose members belonged to the Upper Tribunal. The chief presidents of the upper tribunal, mostly former ministers of justice, were directly responsible to the king until 1857 and were subordinated to the minister of justice. Members of the upper tribunal included such important bourgeois jurists as Carl Gottlieb Suarez and Dr. Friedrich Wilhelm Ferdinand Bornemann. - The competence of the upper tribunal was comprehensive for the area of civil law. It extended to appeals and nullity appeals in civil trials, even when they concerned military personnel. It covered the following subjects: Personal law, professional and ethical law, rights and duties of companies, corporations, municipalities, schools and institutions for the poor, leasehold and tenancy matters, land, domains, regalia, jurisdiction, obligations, commercial and property matters. In criminal proceedings, on the other hand, only appeals for annulment belonged before the Supreme Tribunal in third instance. As stated above, the Supreme Tribunal was not responsible for political criminal cases. Additional areas of responsibility of the upper tribunal were conflicts of jurisdiction between courts of appeal and lower courts, complaints against court orders in procedural matters and disciplinary matters of all judicial officials, including military judges. In addition, on the basis of special treaties, the Obertribunal acted as supreme court for some German states, namely for the principalities Waldeck and Pyrmont in criminal cases and for the Duchy of Anhalt-Bernburg in criminal cases and disciplinary cases of the judges. Finally, the Obertribunal was also elected several times as Austrägalgericht for the decision of disputes between German princes. - The plenum of the Supreme Tribunal heard decisions of a Senate which deviated from a principle of law or a statutory provision, as well as all legislative matters, important disciplinary inquiries and judgments of general interest. Influence on contemporary jurisprudence was exerted by the publication of about 500 important decisions from the years 1836 to 1879 in a state publication series. - After the foundation of the North German Confederation and the German Reich, jurisdictional powers were increasingly transferred to the Reich. Initially, the last instance in commercial and bill of exchange matters was transferred to the Bundesoberhandelsgericht, the later Reichsoberhandelsgericht, founded in August 1870 in Leipzig. In the context of the Reichsjustizreform the national liberals with support of the Prussian Minister of Justice Leonhardt enforced the court constitution law from January 1877 against the Bavarian separatism. The Reichsgericht (Imperial Court) ordered in this law commenced its activities in Leipzig on 1 October 1879. At the same time the Prussian upper tribunal was abolished, 25 of its employees were appointed to the Reichsgericht, while 19 judges were retired. - Presidents of the upper tribunal: - 1782 - 1784 Münchhausen, Ernst Ferdinand Freiherr v. - 1784, 1788 - 1802 Reck, Eberhard Friedrich Rudolph Ludwig Freiherr v. d. - 1785 - 1788 Doernberg, Wolfgang Ferdinand v. - 1802 - 1805 Könen, Johann v. (since 1802) - 1805 - 1833 Grolman, Heinrich Dietrich v. - 1833 - 1844 Sack, Dr. Wilhelm Friedrich - 1844 - 1854 Mühler, Heinrich Gottlob v. - 1854 - 1878 Uhden, Carl Albrecht Alexander v. (since 1871) - - - - - - History and Inventory - After the dissolution of the Upper Tribunal in 1879, the organisational and administrative files were initially handed over to the Court of Appeal, the trial files to the Prussian Ministry of Justice. It is likely that the majority of the case files were collected by the Court of Appeal after 1880. The transfer of files from the Upper Tribunal to the Secret State Archives took place in 1880, 1911 and 1927, so that in 1928 the archiving of the only incompletely preserved holdings was largely completed. From 1932 to 1939, the order was mainly based on fundamental judgments and organizational acts. A motive report from 1939 on the archival evaluation of the files can be found in the file "I. HA Rep. 178 Generaldirektion der Staatsarchive, Nr. 604". The preserved files on proceedings in third instance until 1786 were simultaneously made available for use by old administrative repertories. The tradition of the Upper Tribunal, together with that of the old Higher Appeal Court and that of the Tribunal (4th Senate) at the Court of Appeal, formed the combined holdings of Rep. 97a. - After the Second World War, the holdings were transferred to the Central State Archives of the GDR in Merseburg without any losses during the war, where they were initially restored to their old signatures. For the lost find book a new one was made. In 1973 a new inventory was established, which was based on the decisive organisational caesura of 1782 with the foundation of the independent upper tribunal. The holdings of the old Higher Appeal Court and the Tribunal of the Court of Appeal from 1703 to 1782 [now: "GStA PK, I. HA Rep. 97 A Oberappellationsgericht] were separated from the holdings of the Upper Tribunal from 1782 to 1879. The upper tribunal was subsequently restructured and listed anew. At the beginning of the nineties he was transferred to the care of the Geheimes Staatsarchiv PK zu Berlin and transferred there in 1993. - Scope of stock: 1093 file units (20 linear meters), 1704-1910 - - The files are to be ordered as: - I.

The history of the district governments: The district governments were established by the 4th Edict of 18 Nov. 1817 at the same time as the district chambers of finance were revoked in 1849. Previously, the entire administration in Württemberg had been led by a central government college, in which sections had been formed for the various branches of the administration, in addition to the district governorates, which had only little competence and were called bailiwick bailiwicks from 1810 onwards, as well as the municipal and district authorities. The division of the country into districts and the creation of provincial colleges was modelled on the French Departmental Constitution of 1789, which also formed the basis for a new administrative organisation in other German states at the beginning of the 19th century. In 1818 it was put into effect, and at the same time the sections of internal administration, medicine, roads, bridges, hydraulic engineering, local government and the Commission for Municipal Use and Allodification of Farm Loans existing in the Ministry of the Interior, the section of crown domains, the section of state accounts, the section of agriculture, the section of state coffers in the Ministry of Finance, the section of foundations in the Ministry of Church and Education were abolished.After the instruction of Dec. 21. In 1819, the district governments were the supreme authorities in their area for all matters of state administration in the field of regimes (sovereign administration), the state police and the state economy, and for the administration of the property of municipalities, official bodies and foundations, insofar as these objects were not assigned to other district or central offices (Chambers of Finance as well as Protestant Consistory, Catholic Church Council, Academic Council, Superior Building Council, Provincial Stud Commission, Medical College, Superior Chamber of Accounts, Tax College, Forestry Council and Bergrat).The old 1819 directive was valid for 70 years, it was only replaced by the Decree of 15 Nov 1889 on the organisation of district governments and the course of their business. Their business was handled by a president as a member of the board, administrative councils and collegial assessors as well as the necessary office staff. For the technical consultation a county medical council was temporarily assigned to the health service, for the road, bridge and hydraulic engineering of the municipalities a construction council, another for the building industry of the municipalities and foundations an expert was assigned, for the permissions of steam boiler plants. Business was transacted partly through collegial consultation and decision-making, partly through the office.In the course of time, a number of important tasks were transferred from the original tasks of the district governments to other middle and central authorities, such as the Ministerial Department for Road and Water Construction (1848), the Central Office for Agriculture (1848), the Central Office for Trade and Commerce (1848), the Ministerial Department for Building Construction (1872), the Corporate Forestry Directorate (1875), the Medical College (1881) and the Higher Insurance Office (1912).After 1870, new tasks arose for the district governments through new Reich and state laws, namely the Industrial Code, the laws on the formation of district poor associations, on the administration of administrative justice, on the representation of Protestant church and Catholic parishes and on the compulsory expropriation of land. In addition, at the beginning of the 20th century, the water law was reorganized, social legislation was expanded and direct supervision of large and medium-sized cities and direct supervision of large and medium-sized cities was assigned. In the case of the tasks of the internal state administration to be carried out by the district governments, these were either the deciding or the decreing authority of the first instance, or the supervisory and complaints authority, or the evaluating and mediating authority. 1924, in the course of the removal of civil servants and offices, the district governments were replaced by a new ministerial department for district and corporate administration, subdivided into the Ministry of the Interior, for all competences which did not pass to the upper offices and the Ministry.Literature- Alfred Dehlinger, Württembergisches Staatswesen, 1951 - 1953 (esp. § 127)- Handwörterbuch der württembergischen Verwaltung, edited by Dr. Friedrich Haller 1915- Denkschrift über Vereinfachungen in der Staatsverwaltung vom 27.2.1911, in: Verhandlungen der Württ. Zweiten Kammer 1911/12, Beilage 28, S. 385ff. (Dep. of the Interior). To the district government of Reutlingen: The seat of the government of the Black Forest district, established at the end of 1817, was Reutlingen (Reutlingen district government), which was responsible for the upper offices of Balingen, Calw, Freudenstadt, Herrenberg, Horb, Nagold, Neuenbürg, Nürtingen, Oberndorf, Reutlingen, Rottenburg, Rottweil, Spaichingen, Sulz, Tübingen, Tuttlingen (with exclave Hohentwiel) and Urach. Furthermore, the workhouse for women in Rottenburg, which was affiliated to the prison for female prisoners in Gotteszell in 1907, was subordinated to her. While the number of senior offices in the district government of Reutlingen remained constant until 1938, the districts themselves experienced a decline in the number of senior offices in the district government of Reutlingen as a result of the law of 6 July 1938.1842 on the amendment in the delimitation of the administrative districts subsequent amendments:- from OA Herrenberg the municipality Hagelloch to OA Tübingen, - from OA Neuenbürg the municipalities Dennjächt, Ernstmühl, Liebenzell, Monakam, Unterhaugstett and Unterreichenbach to OA Calw- from OA Nürtingen the municipality Grabenstetten to OA Urach, Hausen am Tann and Roßwangen to OA Rottweil,- from OA Tübingen the municipality Altenriet to OA Nürtingen and- from OA Urach the municipality Pliezhausen to OA Tübingen and the municipality Eningen to OA Reutlingen.The above-mentioned places may therefore appear in the search book under different regional offices, which has to be taken into account in individual cases. Structure, order and distortion of the inventory: Present holdings E 177 I essentially contain the records handed over to the Ludwigsburg State Archives by the registry office of the district government in Reutlingen on December 3, 1924 - a torso in relation to the original records.A considerable number of the registry files had already been withdrawn and collected in 1823, 1835, 1848, 1853, 1863, 1872, 1889 and finally 1924, including the records until 1850, the business diaries until 1870 and the directorates until 1830 (cf. Further files had been handed over to the following offices for reasons of competence:- 1873 to the ministerial department for building construction (building files),- 1908 to the archive of the interior (files of the county Ober- und Niederhohenberg zu Rottenburg, the bailiwicks Black Forest, on the Alb, on the upper Neckar and on the middle Neckar, the Churfürstl. 1924 finally to the 17 upper offices of the district, to the ministerial department for district and corporate administration, to the ministerial department for building construction, to the regional trade office, to the trade and supervisory office, to the catholic high school council, to the ministerial department for higher schools and/or to the ministerial department for the higher schools. The files handed over to the Archive of the Interior as well as parts of the files handed over to the Ministerial Department for District and Corporation Administration and the Higher Offices (above all the Higher Offices Reutlingen and Urach) later came from these offices directly or via successor authorities (District Administrator's Offices) or the Ministerial Department for Technical Schools (see E 177 I Büschel 301 and 4393). In 1937, the State Archives Ludwigsburg, under the direction of the subsequent Director of the State Archives Prof. Grube, undertook a makeshift order and indexing of the holdings, which he described in the find book as follows: "The registry of the Reutlingen district government was handed over to the State Branch Archives in 1924 with an inadequate handover register of 5 pages. The older registry plan (with keyword register) and a keyword register of 1910 designated as "Repertorium", which was also handed over, were also not sufficient for the determination of the actually existing files. Since it is not possible in the foreseeable future to keep an internal order for the somewhat confused holdings and to separate the files that are not worthy of archiving, the present repertory was produced by Hausverwalter Isser in 1935 on the occasion of the external order of the holdings as a temporary auxiliary measure according to the fascicle inscriptions. As part of the revision of the holdings of the district governments in the Ludwigsburg State Archives from 1986 to 1990, the undersigned, together with the temporary employee Karin Steißlinger, who opened up the extensive administrative legal cases, made new title records for the various partial holdings of the Reutlingen district government (E 177 I, E 177 III and without signature). The registry was based on a simple systematic order introduced after 1863 by Registrator Bregizer and Chancellor List Wenz, according to which the files were divided into the main groups A Regiminal and B Police files with 19 and 13 rubrics respectively; the file bundles themselves were correspondingly provided with file signatures, i.e. with letters and numbers of the stands (boxes) and compartments. After the new indexing had been completed, the title records created using the numerus currens-procedure were sorted according to the old file plan, but the structure of the file groups in the finding aid book was made clearer and without the division into two parts of the Regiminal and Police Administration. Of these, 0.5 linear metres were allocated to the files available here (Kreisreg. Ludwigsburg, Ellwangen and Ulm, Commission for the Clean-up of the Official and Municipal Association, Ministerial Department for District and Corporation Administration). The Main State Archives received 0.6 linear metres (mainly old-valued files) and the State Archives Sigmaringen 1.6 linear metres (files of the higher offices), while 0.8 linear metres of files (slaughterhouse and meat inspection fees, office costs of the higher offices, examination of sports invoices) were collected.For 297, plans and cracks still attached to the files as well as 175 newspaper copies proof maps for the holdings JL 590 and JL 430 were produced. 4484 tufts were made for the holdings E 177 I. Ludwigsburg, in November 1990Hofer tufts 4485 to 4499, received from the State Archives Sigmaringen with access 2000/79, were incorporated into the holdings in July 2009. Retroconversion: This finding aid book is a repertory that was previously only available in handwritten or typewritten form and was converted into a database-supported and thus online-capable format according to a procedure developed by the "Retroconversion Working Group in the Ludwigsburg State Archives". This can lead to a certain discrepancy between the modern external appearance and the partly outdated design and formulation of the title recordings. Corrections, deletions and additions were verified and incorporated.

On the postal history of Baden between 1872 and 1934: in 1811, the Grand Duchy of Baden took the postal system out of the hands of Thurn und Taxis and transferred it to state control. A postal directorate was created, which in 1814 was transformed into a regional postal directorate. In 1843, after the introduction of the railway, the "Direktion der Posten und Eisenbahnen" (Directorate of Posts and Railways) was created, which was renamed "Direktion der Großherzoglich Badischen Verkehrsanstalten" in 1854. In connection with his entry into the German Reich, Baden renounced his postal sovereignty. On January 1, 1872, the Baden Postal Correspondents were transferred to the Imperial Imperial Post Office, after the railway system, which had not been handed over, had been separated from the postal administration again (see Resistance Group 421). After 1872, the real estate assets of the Baden Post remained the property of the Baden State, but could be used by the Reichspost, which of course remained free to purchase new land and buildings for its own purposes. The Reichspostverwaltung set up two Oberpostdirektionen (OPD) in Baden as the central authority, based in Karlsruhe and Constance, whose mutual borders ran south of the Kehl-Appenweier-Oppenau railway line. The OPD Karlsruhe was also assigned the Hessian district of Wimpfen, the OPD Konstanz the Prussian part of Hohenzollern; both areas were also looked after by the Reichspost, while the neighbouring kingdom of Württemberg had kept its own post office after 1871. The two Oberpostdirektionen were subordinated to the General Post Office (from 1880 Reichspostamt, from 1919 Reichspostministerium) as the higher authority. Since telegraphy in the North German Confederation had been subject to its own "General Directorate of Telegraphs", in 1872 telegraphy in Baden had also been removed from the jurisdiction of the post office. But already on 1 January 1876 the fusion of post and telegraphy took place in the Reichspost area. From now on the telegraph stations in Baden were subject to the two regional post offices and the Reichspostamt, partly as independent telegraph stations or offices, but mostly united with post offices. In 1934 the OPD Karlsruhe, like the other regional post offices of the Reich, was renamed "Reichspostdirektion" (RPD). On the basis of the Act of 27 February 1934 simplifying and reducing the cost of administration, which was fundamental to the postal and telecommunications sectors, the Constance OPD was dissolved with effect from 1 April 1934 and, after a transitional period, finally ceased to exist on 1 October 1937. Its territory was assigned to the RPD Karlsruhe, which also took over the files of the OPD Konstanz and partially continued them. Explanations on holdings 419: The majority of the files listed in this finding aid were delivered by the RPD Karlsruhe in 1941 (access 1941-17). The smaller part was taken from the deliveries of the OPD Karlsruhe 454 access 1980-30, 419 access 1981-49 and 454 access 1982-18 according to provenance. The OPD Karlsruhe kept an old registration of about 1500 running meters. Files from the foundation of the Reichspostverwaltung in 1872, of which only the aforementioned access had reached the Generallandesarchiv in 1941. After the General State Archives had tried in vain in 1961 to deliver the remaining documents, the OPD had the entire old files destroyed without consulting the archives by house decree of 20 April 1970. This means that the only closed old register of an OPD in Germany, which also contained the documents of the OPD Konstanz, which was dissolved in 1934, has been lost. The duration of the material files of inventory 419 essentially covers the period 1872-1945. Only a few files of the management of the Großherzoglich Badischen Verkehrsanstalten and collections of circular decrees of the General Post Office Berlin to Prussian Oberpostdirketionen, which had apparently been handed over to the OPD Karlsruhe as information necessary for the course of business, continued in the Oberpostdirketionen and date back further. Some files of the access 1941 were classified in the personal files (see below), one file came according to its provenance to stock 418, six files were cashed. Since the numbering of the access was maintained 1941-17, the following numbers are no longer used: 1-7, 10, 11, 13, 65, 121-128, 193, 522, 676, 697, 713, 720, 753, 758, 774, 838, 883, 935-936 and 939-940.The older personnel files of inventory 419 have been added to the General State Archives with the additions 1938-42 (61 personnel files of the OPD Konstanz), 1941-17 (6 personnel files of the OPD Karlsruhe) and 1981-49 (2252 personnel files of the OPDn or RPD Karlsruhe and Konstanz and the OPD Karlsruhe after 1945). The personnel files of the 1941 access were incorporated into the 1981 access and the list of consignments was supplemented accordingly. Song and processing of the inventory: A file plan for the RPD documents is not available and could not be obtained from the OPD Karlsruhe. For example, the classification of the inventory is based on the usual division of the postal and telecommunications sectors into operations and administration, with attempts being made to reconstruct the file plan from the registry signatures on the file covers. The greater part of the documents are special maps, which were led by the OPDn to the individual transport companies of their district. These are post offices, postal agencies, postal branch offices, railway post offices, postal auxiliaries and independent telegraph stations or offices. These files shall regularly contain the following documents: Professional records, audit reports from post offices, inventories, duty schedules, guides for the training of postal and telegraph staff, which are no longer mentioned in the repertory itself. Further details on the legal status, business area and internal operation of the individual transport companies can be found in the description by K. Sautter (see bibliography), pp. 37-41. Under the direction of the undersigned, the State Archives officers Rudolf Benl, Robert Kretzschmar and Sybille Wittenberg carried out the drawing up of the records and the order in the spring of 1982, and Brigitte Weiler, an aspiring inspector, added additions.

History of the Inventory Designer: The personnel documents created in the personnel offices of the Reichsheer/Heer, Reichsmarine/Kriegsmarine and Luftwaffe were collected centrally shortly after the war. However, large quantities had been lost in the war. The remaining documents were mainly collected in the Personenstandsarchiv II of the State of North Rhine-Westphalia in Aachen-Kornelimünster and supplemented by further personal documents. This institution has been taken over by the Federal Archives as the Central Central Documentation Office (CNS). The personal documents of the Generals and Admirals went from there in the 1970s to the Military Archives Department of the Federal Archives. The personnel documents of the naval officers up to the lieutenant captain went to the German office (WASt), where they are still today. The personal documents of the officers and civil servants of the Reichswehr and Wehrmacht kept in the CNS were taken over by the Department of Military Archives in 2005 and have been held there ever since. Further personal documents, in particular personal files kept in the personnel offices, form the holdings RW 59. Description of holdings: The contribution essentially follows Absolon, Wehrgesetz p.362-374 (see Lit. verz.): The personnel administration in the Wehrmacht took place at various locations ¿ at the military replacement posts, at the replacement troop units, at the field troop units and in the personnel offices of the high commandos. The following personal documents were kept: - at the military stations: Wehrstammkarte: created by the police registration office at the time of registration for each person liable for service or volunteer, sent to the Wehrbezirkskommando (WBK) with the Wehrstammrolle; basis for the patterning and enlistment or volunteer acceptance; was then pasted into the Wehrstammbuch Wehrstammrolle: Wehrstammbuch (Wehrstammbuch), created by the police registration office as an accompanying list of ten military tribe cards each: created by the WBK after the draft or acceptance of volunteers with the military tribe card glued in place and continued throughout the entire period of compulsory military service; the content corresponded to that of the military passport; during active military service at the military unit, otherwise part of the WBK tribe card index, or at the end of the compulsory military service of the Wehrmeldeamt (WMA); at the beginning of the war, the military records of the soldiers assigned to the Feldwehrmacht were sent from the last peacekeeping unit to the responsible military service stations; after the soldiers had left the Feldtruppe, the military records were returned to the WBK or WMÄ after the corresponding unit had been entered, and the health records were continued there: Created by the military alternative service office which carried out the first examination of a conscript or volunteer; continued by the medical service offices Use card: issued for each replacement reservist I according to the model or volunteer acceptance at the same time as the military record book; served in peace to classify the conscript of the status on leave (d.B.) in war; in peace the use card index was divided into inventory, mob and indispensability card index, in war into inventory, RAD and restricted card index Call-up card: supplement of the use card for the conscripts d.B. who were classified as soldiers or Wehrmacht officials in peace mobile - in the case of troops: military passport: from the 1st World War onwards: from the 1st World War The document was issued on April 1, 1936 at the time of the mustering or voluntary acceptance and handed over to the holder; documentary evidence of the military service relationship during the period of compulsory military service; in peace during the completion of the RAD and active military service, it was accepted, stored and continuously supplemented by the responsible office upon recruitment; upon dismissal it was handed back and remained with the holder even after the end of compulsory military service; The military passports of the fallen, the deceased, and the missing were sent to the military substitute service station; after the data had been transferred to the military tribal record book, they were sent to the surviving dependants or, if none could be ascertained, troop rolls remained in the military tribal record book: in peace by all units, in war only by spare troop parts set up and led; with transfers an excerpt from the trunk roll was attached to the remittance papers war trunk roll: The war roll sheets of the fallen, deceased, missing, wounded and transferred soldiers and supplementary army officials were completed and sent to the responsible military replacement service office, those of the active Wehrmacht officials were sent to the Wehrkreis or Luftgaukommando, which led the main personnel personnel to identity cards: there was 1) a blue troop identity card for soldiers and Wehrmacht officials, issued in peace, with a photograph (form A; for those called up for exercises without form B); on dismissal the form A identity cards were destroyed, the form B identity cards went to the responsible military service stations; 2) a brown service card for employees and workers at Wehrmacht service posts; 3) a white special card for entering specially guarded properties, buildings or facilities; 4) an orange service card with a black longitudinal line for non-German followers employed at Wehrmacht service posts Soldbuch: from the beginning of the war, they were handed over to the soldiers and Wehrmacht officials of the army and the Luftwaffe and continued on an ongoing basis; the previous troop passes were destroyed after the issue of the pay books; the pay books of deceased or dismissed soldiers, as well as those that had become unusable, were sent to the responsible military replacement service office for insertion into the pocket of the Wehrstammbuch; on reappointment, they could be issued again; in the event of a loss of rank, they were completed and a new one issued; on 16 March, the military and air force officers of the Luftwaffe were issued with a new one. In November 1943, the introduction of a photograph on the inside was ordered; employees and workers at Wehrmacht service posts as well as other members of the Wehrmacht following were not given any pay books; the country's own auxiliaries in the east were given bilingual identification books, which were to be kept like pay books - by the high commandos: Personnel files: The entire personnel administration of the officers was carried out by the Army Personnel Office (OKH/PA) or the Air Force Personnel Office (RdL and ObdL/LP). There were kept about every active officer identity papers (personal files), consisting of: - a copy of the identity document - the annexes to the identity document (all important documents such as recruitment procedures, documents, certificates, letters of commitment, decisions in matters of honour, complaints, special incidents) - the medical documents (medical records, medical certificates, lists of damage to services) - the assessments - various files of military personnel files: For this purpose, the staffs of the respective units kept further copies of the personnel records with annexes, assessment drafts and supply procedures ¿ the so-called troop personnel files. The units joining the field army handed over these troop personnel files to the responsible spare troop units, for the officers from the battalion commander upwards to the responsible deputy general commandos; offices which were dissolved also handed over their troop personnel files to the deputy general commands; the troop personnel files of the Luftwaffe generally went to the Luftgaukommando responsible for the last peace site; The registration of changes in the troop personnel files was suspended during the war and was to be carried out after demobilisation; in the event of dismissal from active military service and in the event of death, the sick and care papers and a completed copy of the identity document with other documents were to be sent to the responsible Wehrmacht welfare and care office. The personnel files and personnel records of the officers d.B. and z.V. were kept and kept at the responsible military service stations. Wehrmacht officials kept ministerial files, main files and leaflets (side issues). Ministerial files: These were led and contained by the army administration office (OKH/VA), and/or by the air force personnel office (RLM/LP) with service beginning: - the proof of identity - the declaration of membership of political parties, lodges and other organisations - the declaration of military service - orders to convene, appoint, transfer, etc. - Determination of the seniority - other exchanges of correspondence in special attachments: - Examination papers and minutes of the result - the assessments - the criminal service matters main files: The main files with pre-stitched evidence of illness were kept at the military district and air district commandos, with any earlier personnel files of other places as supplements. Collections of sheets (supplements): The subordinate departments and generally the staffs and units kept only collections of sheets or supplements, consisting of a third copy of the identity card, the holiday certificate, the medical record and the correspondence produced there, via the civil servants in their area. The personnel files of the professional non-commissioned officers were kept by their responsible units and were kept during the war by the replacement troops. The personnel files of the employees and workers of the Wehrmacht were kept at the employment offices, the work books at the location wage offices. From 29 June 1944, the personal files of retired followers were to be destroyed after three years. The inventory RW 59 also contains the documents and finding aids (card indexes) for the awarding of orders and decorations, as they were mainly kept by the Army Personnel Office. These documents and finding aids had been gathered together by the Central Proof Office (CNS) to process corresponding inquiries. Parts had also been taken over from the stock RH 7 of the Federal Archives Military Archives as "permanent loans". These documents were transferred back to RH 7 in 2005 after the dissolution of the CNS. The rest of the collection (177 AU) is divided into two parts: Award proposals (69 AE) and general files from various bodies on various aspects of the award system as well as on holders of certain orders (108 AE). Due to the complex reference system of the CNS, it was decided to preserve this remaining collection as a whole within the RW 59 collection and to refrain from taking over the larger part of it to RH 7, as a separation from the remaining CNS documents would have made it too difficult to provide further information. The award proposals in RW 59 are therefore to be regarded as complementary to those in RH 7. In general, the finding aids in RW 59 can be used as evidence of the following main awards: Iron Cross 1st and 2nd Class (2nd Class not continuous), Knight's Cross of the Iron Cross in the different levels, War Merit Cross 1st and 2nd Class, Knight's Cross of the War Merit Cross, German Cross in Silver, German Cross in Gold, Close Combat Bracelet in Gold, Air Force Cup of Honour, Air Force Bowl of Honour, Picture of the Reichsmarschall in Silver Frame, Mention in the Army Official Gazette, Mention in the Navy Official Gazette, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour of the Navy, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour in Silver Frame, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour in Silver Frame, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour in Silver Frame, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour in Silver Frame, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour in Silver Frame, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour in Silver Frame, Mention in the Official Gazette of Honour in the N. Especially for the final phase of the war, however, even the highest awards are likely to have gaps in tradition. The third part of the collection RW 59 contains a collection on military law and the organization of the Wehrmacht and Waffen-SS (215 AE), which has been compiled in the CNS. This collection essentially contains original documents which were taken from the original provenances by Rudolf Absolon in his function as director of the CNS for the production of the work "Die Wehrmacht im Dritten Reich" (The Wehrmacht in the Third Reich) and which had been newly formed as a handset structured according to subject matter. Content characterization: This inventory includes the Wehrmacht documents collected by the Central Proof Office (CNS), which it needed to deal with personal inquiries. These documents had been taken from their original provenances by the CNS. In addition, the holdings also include the Wehrmacht's human resources department, which was prepared by the CNS itself, and the CNS's filing of research enquiries on certain persons regarding presumed or actual membership in the Wehrmacht. After the documents had been transferred to the Federal Archives and Military Archives, it was decided to preserve this collection as a collection, since a division of the documents into their individual provenances and a separation from the actual CNS documents would have considerably jeopardised the further provision of information. Only the documents of the RH 7 holdings (Army Personnel Office) received from the CNS by the military archives as "permanent loans" and clearly delineated were returned to it. The inventory RW 59 in its present form is therefore an archival result of the decades of activity and working method of the CNS, which must necessarily be preserved in order to maintain the further ability to work in this area. State of development: The inventory consists on the one hand of important working materials for the department and on the other hand of personal documents. A use is therefore only possible via the specialist department. Pre-archival order: Until 2005, the files were kept at the ZNS in Aachen-Kornelimünster. During this time, only rudimentary archival inventories were created. Scope, explanation: 2500 AU Citation method: BArch, RW 59/...

1. history of authorities: The nobility matriculation commission was established in 1818 by King Wilhelm I. within the Ministry of the Interior in order to guarantee the observance of the rights and duties of the Württemberg hereditary nobility (1). The commission's task was to create and continue the personnel and real registers as well as the electoral rolls for the First and, until 1906, the Second Chamber of the Württemberg State Parliament (2). On the one hand, the families had to prove their nobility status and rank, which usually took the form of a certified copy of the nobility diploma, and on the other hand changes in the family or ownership circumstances had to be reported. In return, some of the former aristocratic rights were preserved. Depending on their size, aristocratic estates were granted the rights of a class rule or a manor. In addition, they still had various landowner's rights, among other things. After an extensive renewal of the nobility registers in 1844 and 1845, the Commission was dissolved in December 1849 and its files handed over to the Interior Archive. In June 1857, however, it was reinstated under the leadership of Regierungsrat Golther (3).With the end of the constitution of the sovereign estate in Württemberg in connection with the revolution of 1848/49, the aristocratic owners of the manor, some of whom found themselves in financial difficulties after the redemption of the peasant taxes, sold a large amount of land, on the one hand to liberated farmers who remained in agriculture, and on the other hand to the state of Württemberg, which in the second half of the 19th century promoted the construction of fortified roads and above all the railway. In return, however, bourgeois people were now also allowed to acquire knights' estates, which for a time could certainly be regarded as prestige objects. After the end of the monarchy, the special rights of aristocratic estates and manors were finally abolished. In the course of this development the Adelsmatrikelkommission was dissolved in 1924. 2nd inventory history: The documents of the aristocratic matriculation commission were delivered by the Ministry of the Interior to the main state archives in Stuttgart in two deliveries in 1904 and 1924 (4). The first delivery was roughly indexed in 1913 in an archival register, whereby some documents of the knight cantons were taken from the time before 1806 (5). The original 481 file volumes and 170 volumes (land registers) received the inventory signature E 157, later divided into E 157/1 (files) and E 157/2 (land registers). The delivery of the commission of 1904, which contained in particular documents and registers covering several families, received in the meantime the signature E 157/3, but could not be clearly separated from the remaining stock, so that E 157/1 and E 157/3 were finally reunited. The typewritten archive directory from 1924, which was still used as a finding aid in the Main State Archives until the present repertory was processed, shows the systematic structure according to which the holdings were stored in the Ministry of the Interior. Accordingly, the documents concerning the Württemberg hereditary nobility as a whole were placed at the beginning. This was followed, in alphabetical order in each case, by series of special nudes on noble families, estates and manors. With the family files of the not wealthy hereditary nobility in each case the initial letter in the alphabet was combined to a federation. The exmatriculated knights' estates also received their own category: the respective file categories consist of quite uniform files, which, however, have a very different scope. The family files usually contain concepts of the personal record sheets as well as information about births, baptisms, marriages and deaths, occasionally also documented by newspaper clippings. Particularly noteworthy are the handmade representations of the coat of arms of the majority of the families, some of which were designed with a great deal of artistic effort and additional work, which presumably served as models for the aristocratic coat-of-arms book kept by the Cabinet Ministry (6). the files on estates and knights' estates usually contain reports of the upper offices and district governments on changes in ownership and other changes as well as completed questionnaires for the compilation of the real register or extracts from the land register for the exemten properties. With the manor files colored maps and / or detailed descriptions are often also available. 3rd processing report: In order to ensure a more targeted research in the stock, the archival indexing of the stock was started in spring 2004. This led to the division of the file bundles, some of which were listed only in summary form, into individual or factual files, which was carried out on the basis of quadranguulation. Also large file bundles starting from approx. 10 cm circumference were divided. The list of important changes in the noble families or estates and manors was made with the help of the notes containing them. Special features such as coat of arms drawings and ground plans / site plans were recorded in the notes. Since the hand-painted coat-of-arms drawings of numerous noble families seemed predestined for presentation on the Internet, their digitization took place in the period from October to December 2004 with the help of the archive inspector candidates Sandy Apelt, Katja Georg, Stefan Spiller and Christina Wolf as well as the intern Madeleine Schulze. The coats of arms are in this way directly observable in the online find book belonging to it, with the production of the classification the original arrangement of the existence served as basis. In order to obtain a more consistent step-by-step model, the files for the personal register (wealthy and non wealthy hereditary nobility) and the real register (class rulers, knights' estates, exmatriculated knights' estates) were combined in the virtual arrangement of the holdings in one superpoint each. Further documents concerning Württemberg aristocratic affairs and families in the 19th and 20th centuries can be found in the following holdings:E 40/33:Ministry of Foreign Affairs: AdelssachenE 60Königlicher LehenratE 105Verträge Württemberg mit seine Standesherrn und sonstigen AdligenE 146Ministerium des Innern III, Teil 1E 147Ministerium des Innern III, Teil 2E 151/2Ministerium des Innern, Abteilung II: Rechtssachen, Staatsangehörigkeit, PersonenstandE 156Ministerium des Innern: AdelssachenJ 30/2Sammlung Josef SeligJ 40/8Nachlass Hans JänichenJ 40/63Sammlung v.

The delivery list for E 157 was therefore assigned to the inventory E 61x (8), the inventory was registered with the help of the programs MIDOSA 95 and Microsoft Access, the packing of the documents was done by Elisabeth Mainhardt and Rudolf Bezold. Some previous files (9) from the time before 1818 with a total volume of 0.2 linear metres were taken from the holdings for reasons of provenance and transferred to the State Archives Ludwigsburg (file no.: 7511.6/2769 and -3711). The collection now comprises 882 tufts of files (Bü. 1-180, 180a, 181-881) and 24.2 linear metres of shelving. In addition, the index was supplemented by concordances as well as a location, person and subject index, offers a considerably improved depth of indexing and is also available on the Internet as an online finding aid.Stuttgart, December 2004Johannes Renz Footnotes: (1) The documents for the establishment of the commission for the nobility register are in stock E 156 Ministry of the Interior: Nobility matters(2) On the constitutional circumstances of the former nobility of the German Reich see the preliminary remark on stock E 156(3) cf.

1 History of the authorities 1.1 Military Provinces 1813-1815 On 15 March 1813, for strategic military reasons, the entire Prussian territory between the Elbe and the Russian border was divided into four military provinces in order to wage war against France. At the same time, the Upper Government Commission founded in Berlin on 20 January 1813 (cf.: GStA PK, I. HA, Rep. 102 Oberregierungskommission zu Berlin) and the General Commission for Accommodation, Meals and Marschesen formed on 24 April 1812 (cf.: GStA PK, I. HA, Rep. 85 General Commission for Accommodation, Meals and Marschesen) were dissolved. Initially, four military provinces were formed for the following areas: 1) for the country between the Elbe and Oder rivers in Berlin, 2) for the country between the Oder and Vistula rivers in Stargard, 3) for the country between the Vistula and the Russian border in Königsberg and 4) for Silesia in Breslau. After the further advance of the Prussian and Allied troops, the formation of the military government for the Prussian provinces took place on the left bank of the Elbe. This was soon divided into the two military provinces for the state between the Elbe and Weser in Halberstadt and for the state between Weser and Rhine in Münster. The military governorates were classified according to purely military or geographical criteria, irrespective of the historical administrative divisions that existed to date. The individual military governorates were directly subordinate to the king or the state chancellor. The ministries lost their competence for all matters concerning warfare for the duration of the military governorates. All authorities in the district were subordinate to military or civil governors in military matters. Only in operational matters of the army was the commanding generals in command. For each military government, one military governor and one civil governor were appointed as equal leaders. In the event of disagreement, the King alone had the power of decision. In the event of imminent danger, however, the military governor had the decisive vote. Part of the tasks of the military government, especially with regard to the provision of food for Russian troops, was transferred to the Major General Friedrich Karl Heinrich Graf von Wylich and Lottum as General Director for the provision of food for Russian troops in Germany on 11 March 1813 (cf.: GStA PK, I. HA, Rep. 128 Registratur[by Friedrich Karl Heinrich Graf von Wylich and] Lottum über Armeeverpflegungsangelegenheiten in den Kriegen 1813 - 1815). After the First Peace of Paris, the four Eastern Elbe military provinces were dissolved by the cabinet of 3 June 1814. The two Westelbian military provinces remained in place for the time being. 1.2 Military and civil government for the provinces between the Elbe and Weser The "Military government for the Prussian provinces on the left bank of the Elbe" was formed by the Kabinettsordre of 9 April 1813 and Wilhelm Anton von Klewiz was appointed civil governor. Major General Philipp of Ivernois was appointed military governor, but he died on June 1, 1813. The new military governor was Major General Friedrich Wilhelm Ludwig von Krusemark. Since most of the West Elbian areas were still occupied by French troops, it took some time before the military government was able to take up its activities in full. The seat of the military government was initially still in Berlin and was moved provisionally to Halle/Saale only in October 1813. As a result of the advance of the Prussian and Allied troops, the area to be administered by the military government had assumed too great an extension. For this reason, the Cabinet of 19 November 1813 divided it into two independent military provinces for the provinces between the Elbe and Weser and between the Weser and Rhine. The former civilian governor of Klewiz, who held this office until the dissolution of the civilian government, was appointed civil governor of the military government for the provinces between the Elbe and Weser rivers. The new military governor was Major General Ludwig Wilhelm August von Ebra (1759-1818). The military government now comprised the following former Prussian territories: the Altmark, the Duchy of Magdeburg, the Principality of Halberstadt, the County of Mansfeld, the County of Hohenstein, the Principality of Eichsfeld and the Principality of Erfurt. The seat of the government administration was moved to Halberstadt in December 1813. Although a division of responsibilities between the military governor and the civilian governor would have been legally permissible, all business of the military government was handled jointly and amicably by both governors. In the event of absence, there was mutual representation. The office and the registry were managed jointly. Even after the peace agreement of May 30, 1815, the military government remained in place and was not dissolved until July 12, 1815. The military tasks were transferred to the General Command for the provinces between the Elbe and Weser rivers. The remaining business was provisionally continued by the former civil governor of Klewiz until the appointment of the chief president and the district presidents on 1 April 1816. The main task of the military government was to reorganize the administration and ensure the efficiency of the Prussian army in the provincial district. These included above all the formation of troops, feeding the Prussian and Allied troops and supplying the military hospitals. For this purpose, the military government had to raise the necessary funds through tax collections and carry out requisitions. The higher and security police were also directly exercised by the military government. However, the mining and metallurgy sector was directly subordinated to the Minister of Finance and the postal sector to the General Postmaster. In order to carry out individual tasks of the military government, several subordinate offices and authorities were formed, which were also based at the civil governor's place of work in Halberstadt. This included the Finance Commission, which exercised control over the management of direct and indirect taxes, domains and forests. This commission was dissolved on 24 February 1814. Its tasks were largely transferred to the Provincial Commission, which was also based in Halberstadt. This commission consisted of six councils and served to advise the civil governor, on whose decisions it was also dependent. It was therefore not an independent intermediate instance between the civil governor and the subordinate authorities. On behalf of the Military Government, the Higher Regional Court Council Dalkowski conducted investigations against a number of persons suspected of espionage and spying for the French or Westphalian High Police or army. The basis for these investigations was the Royal Order of 17 March 1813 for punishment of crimes against the security of the armies (cf.: Collection of Laws for the Royal Prussian States, 1813, p.34f.) and the Decree of 15 January 1814 for investigation and punishment of the illicit traffic with the enemy (cf.: Collection of Laws for the Royal Prussian States, 1814, p. 5-7.). However, under Article 16 of the First Paris Peace of 30 May 1814, these investigations had to be stopped. In November 1813, the Provincial War Commission was formed to carry out the requisitions and supply the Prussian and Allied troops. This office, headed by the provincial war commissioner Rhades and, from February 1814, his successor Lehmann, existed until 1816 and a surgical staff was formed for the organization of the provincial hospital system. This staff existed until November 1815 and was responsible, among other things, for the purchase of medicines and hospital utensils, the recruitment and remuneration of medical personnel and the supervision of the individual provincial hospitals. At the end of 1813, the territory of the military government was divided into three departments, each headed by a national director. These national directorates were intermediate instances between the civil governor and the district administrators or the subordinate authorities. The three departments can be regarded as predecessors of the administrative districts that were later formed. The first department roughly corresponded to the former Westphalian Elbe department and consisted of the districts Salzwedel, Stendal and Neuhaldensleben. Due to the occupation by French troops, the city of Magdeburg was no longer under direct administration until May 1814. The second department, which roughly corresponded to the Westphalian Saale Department, consisted of the Saalekreis and the districts of Wansleben, Calbe/Saale, Mansfeld, Eisleben, Halberstadt and Osterwieck. The 3rd department consisted of the Prussian parts of the former Westphalian Harz Department and was divided into the districts of Heiligenstadt, Duderstadt and Hohenstein. In addition, there was the area of Erfurt and Blankenhain, which formed its own circle and was administered by its own vice director (as permanent representative of the country director). The national directorates in the 1st and 2nd departments were dissolved in February 1814 and the competencies were transferred to the civil governor or the responsible councillors. However, due to the long distance until the dissolution of the civil government on 31 March 1816, the Regional Directorate of the 3rd Department remained in place. When the administrative districts of the province of Saxony were later formed, the previous territorial structure of the three departments was largely retained. The administrative district Magdeburg corresponded approximately to the 1st department, the administrative district Merseburg to the 2nd department and the administrative district Erfurt to the 3rd department. 1.3 Senior Officials Military Governors: April 1813 - June 1813: Major General Philipp von Ivernois (1754-1813) (Cf.: Priesdorff, Kurt von: Soldatisches Führertum, Hamburg 1937-1942, Vol. 3 (Part 5), p. 275f.)

The files, which concerned the areas of the later administrative districts of Merseburg and Erfurt, were first transferred to the responsible government archives in Merseburg and Erfurt and were later added to the holdings of the Magdeburg State Main Archives. By order of the Director General of the Prussian State Archives of May 1, 1883, the files of the military government (with the exception of the military government for the land between the Elbe and Oder or Oder and Vistula) were either transferred from the Secret State Archives to the provincial archives concerned or left in their original state. In the state capital archive of Magdeburg the archival material of the military government was divided into the following holdings (cf.: Gringmuth-Dallmer, Hanns: Gesamtübersicht über diebestände des Landeshauptarchivs Magdeburg, Vol. 3,1, Halle/Saale 1961): - Rep. C 1 Preußisches Militärgouvernement für die Provinzen zwischen Elbe und Weser zu Halberstadt - Rep. C 1 a Prussian military government for the provinces between Elbe and Weser to Halberstadt - Rep. C 1 b Prussian military government for the provinces between Elbe and Weser to Halberstadt concerning administrative district Erfurt - Rep. C 1 c Prussian military government for the provinces between Elbe and Weser to Halberstadt - Civil administration - Rep. C 2 Prussian Civil Government for the provinces between Elbe and Weser to Halberstadt - Rep. C 2 a Prussian Civil Government for the provinces between Elbe and Weser to Halberstadt concerning the later administrative district Magdeburg - Rep. C 2 b Prussian Civil Government for the provinces between Elbe and Weser to Halberstadt concerning the later administrative district Erfurt - Rep. C 2 c Prussian Civil Government for the provinces between Elbe and Weser at Halberstadt concerning the later administrative district Merseburg (Saalkreis and Mansfeld) - Rep. C 3 Commission of the Higher Regional Court Council Dalkowski for the investigation of political offences - Rep. C 7 Finance Commission at Halberstadt - Rep. C 8 Government War Commission (War Commissioner Lehmann) - Rep. C 11 Surgical Staff. On 26 and 27 April 1972 the above holdings were transferred by the Landeshauptarchiv Magdeburg to the Deutsches Zentralarchiv, Dienststelle Merseburg (see: GStA PK, I. HA, Rep. 178 E Geheimes Staatsarchiv PK, Dienststelle Merseburg, Nr. 331 Aktenzugänge, Bd. 1). However, not all stocks from the transitional period were transferred. Thus, for example, the holdings of the three state directorates remained in the Magdeburg State Main Archives. On 21 October 1986, 0.1 running metres of files were subsequently taken over and assigned to the holdings (cf.: GStA PK, I. HA, Rep. 178 E Geheimes Staatsarchiv PK, Dienststelle Merseburg, Nr. 1037 Bestandsakte I. HA Rep. 91 C). The holdings taken over from the Magdeburg State Archives were combined into one holdings and initially recorded in a find file by employees of the German Central Archives, Merseburg Office. In the process, the contemporary titles were obviously adopted without any discernible new titles being formed. In addition, the portfolio was rearranged according to thematic criteria. It has not yet been possible to determine the date of the order, the original distortion and a later revision of the file titles. This revision, which was still carried out on the index cards, led to a partial correction and standardisation of the file titles, which however remained incomplete and inconsistent. Following the retroconversion of the find file by typists of the Secret State Archives PK, the holdings were edited in 2008 and 2009 by archive employee Guido Behnke. The classification has been revised. In addition, the existing file titles were checked and, if necessary, standardized or corrected. In some cases, individual files had to be redrawn. The existing place names were adapted as far as possible to the current spelling. 3. note on use The holdings were arranged according to subject matter. However, the files of classification group 02.01.03 are sorted by the names of the individual towns. These are files relating to the accounting, the debts, the public buildings, the leasing of land and the local taxes of the respective municipalities. Also the files of the classification group 03.03.01.03, which concern the church, parish and school affairs, are arranged according to place names. The files relating to staff matters (e.g. employment, remuneration, dismissal, misconduct) of officials should be sought in the various thematic classification groups. For example, the files on civil servants employed directly by the Military Government are in classification group 01.02, municipal civil servants in classification group 02.01.04 and judicial officers in classification group 02.03.01.09. 4. References to other holdings and bibliographical references 4.1 Holdings in the Secret State Archives PK A larger number of files relating to the Military Government between Weser and Elbe are in the holdings: - GStA PK, I.

Preliminary remarks History of the authorities: 1855 June Establishment of an independent "Princely Forest Directorate" 1897 June Integration into the Rentkammer as "Forest Department" 1921 April Directorate of Domains and Forests, Forest Department 1924 August Lippische Regierung, Forest Department 1934 October Lippische Regierung Abt. II, Staatsforstverwaltung 1936 June The Reich Governor in Lippe and Schaumburg-L., Landesregierung Lippe, ... 1945 April Lippische Landesregierung, Abteilung II, Landesforstverwaltung 1948 Nov. 1948 Transfer of the forestry department to the Landesverband Lippe (company about the unification of the state of Lippe with the state of North Rhine-Westphalia and company about the Landesverband Lippe, both from 05.11.1948) The tasks of the state forestry administration were 1. in the exercise of the sovereign rights of the state with regard to forestry, hunting and fishing 2. in the management of state-owned forestry Even at the end of World War I, forestry sovereign activity was based on the "Ordinance on the Management of Private and Community Timber" of 1819 (Landesverordnungen Bd. 6, p. 459 ff.); there was no forestry law. With the establishment of the Forest Directorate in 1855, a service instruction for foresters and forest marksmen was issued (see L 94 No. 42) and the division into 13 senior forest rangers (later amended several times) as well as official and service designations were determined. At the beginning of the year 1919 the old Domanial forest administration still existed with the 8 upper foresteries Hiddesen (2132 ha), Berlebeck (3093 ha), (Kohlstädt-)Horn resp. Oesterholz (2940 ha), Schieder (2935 ha), Falkenhagen (2713 ha), Sternberg (1913 ha), Langenholzhausen (1806 ha) and Detmold (672 ha), altogether 35 foresteries with an area of approx. 18,200 ha. - Hiddesen was the former Oberförsterei Lopshorn with seat in the Heidental (renaming 15.11.1918), Langenholzhausen the previous Obf. Varenholz with headquarters in Langenholzhausen, Detmold was called Diestelbruch until 30.05.1912. The seat of the Obf. Oesterholz was renamed to Obf. Horn moved from Oesterholz hunting lodge to the city on 01.08.1927 (Official Gazette No. 62), in 1929 the seat of the Obf. Sternberg into the castle Brake; in addition the merger of Sternberg and Detmold to the Obf took place to 01.01.1929. Brake. By the Domanialvertrag of 31.10.1919 the princely house received the Oberförsterei Berlebeck with the four foresteries Hirschberg, Hirschsprung, Hartröhren and Kreuzkrug. The main task of the State Forestry Administration in the 1920s was the step from administration to "operation", which was caused by modern economic development. The corresponding documentation therefore also takes up a great deal of space. In October 1934, the names of the authorities, offices and services were redefined on the basis of the new regulations introduced in Prussia (see current No. 592). Oberförsterei became Forstamt, Försterei became Revierförsterei. The chief forester became a land forester, a state chief forester a forester, a forester a district forester. Former auxiliary foresters were now called foresters, forest assistants auxiliary foresters, foresters and forest apprentices forest candidates (for administrative service / operational service). Until 1921 the forestry administration was housed in the building of the Fürstliche Forstdirektion, Hornsche Str. 66, built in 1866. After its sale to the company Gebr. Klingenberg, the offices were moved on 1 October to the converted building of the former Fürstliches Marstall am Schlossplatz / Rosenthal (see L 94 No. 10). In June 1924, the company moved again to the government building at Kaiser-Wilhelm-Platz and in August it was incorporated as the Lippische Regierung, Forstabteilung (see current no. 597). Julius Feye was the first "forester" of Lippe until his death in October 1896. From May 1897 until his death on 18.04.1925, Oberlandforstmeiser Alois Baldenecker, formerly Prussian Oberförster from Neukirchen, Kassel district, headed the Lippe forestry administration. He was followed by Alfred Reier from Syke near Bremen as a land forester from March 1926 onwards, after provisional management by forester Karl Schmidt from Hiddesen, but he was already retired at the end of July 1933 before reaching the age of 65 (he was born on 18.06.1879) "in order to simplify the state government". The aforementioned forester Schmidt was now to head the state forestry administration in addition to his head forester Hiddesen. However, since it soon turned out that it was impossible to exercise both offices, Dr. Köster, a trainee forestry officer, was hired by the Hiddesen forestry office from November 1935. Schmidt (*15.11.1871) held his office as land forester until shortly before he reached the age of 67 (October 1938), but resumed his duties when his successor Fritz Murmann from Bielefeld was drafted for military service and finally - after an interim U.K. position - fell in December 1942. It was not until 1 March 1946 that Schmidt finally retired, after Alfred Hirsekorn, the Lord Forester from Rinkerode, had been appointed the provisional head of the State Forestry Administration in January of the same year. However, he made his office available in May and was replaced by Otto Wahl from Celle. About 9/10 of the holdings (No. 1-878) originate from the addition 47/1976, which was arranged according to the file plan introduced in 1927 ("conversion of the forest department's registry according to the state budget", see current No. 590) and was valid until the files were handed over to the Landesverband Lippe in 1949. Nos. 879-892 came into the house as entrance 37/1962, No. 893-971 were already signed as L 80 II c No. 1-9, but not listed. At the beginning of 2003, 27 business diaries (journals) were discovered on the access floor (Nos. 972-998). The files essentially cover the period from the creation of the new department registries in 1924 (see current No. 597 and L 75 IV / 1 No. 20) until the transition to the forest department of the regional association; many file covers bear the note "angelegt 1927". Previous files are in stock L 94 (Forstdirektion); continued files or files created only in 1950 and later were assigned to stock D 110. The transfer of file management to the LVL proved to be extremely blurred. The forest department of the government existed until 1949. Very many files contain still some few documents from the years 1950-1951, rarely also 1952. These files were left, if the contents had developed far predominantly in the years until 1949, with the existence L 80.19, since otherwise only one torso would have remained. Obviously, the LVL created new files from 1951/52 and transferred the old registry to the State Archives in 1976. The above-mentioned file plan formed the basis for the order of the inventory, which, however, required numerous changes. General files on the establishment and organisation of the forest administration, for example, ranked 7th among the title groups. Different groups of files had to be grouped or subdivided. Nos 879 et seq. could easily be attributed to the positions of the file plan used. Although the main task of the forest administration was the management of the state forest, the collection also offers a wealth of contemporary historical sources, e.g. for the use of prisoners of war, environmental pollution (fisheries control), tourism, state economic policy (Dörentruper Sand- und Thonwerke, Holzverkohlung Schieder), buildings such as the "Krumme Haus" and the silver mill; - during the Nazi era there were numerous points of contact with the party and various Nazi organizations.

On the history of the district governments and the district government of Ulm: The district governments were brought into being by the 4th edict of 18 Nov. 1817 at the same time as the Finance Chambers, which were revoked in 1849. Previously, in Württemberg the entire administration had been led by a central government college in addition to the district governorates, which had only little authority and were called bailiwick bailiwicks from 1810 onwards, as well as municipal and district authorities, where sections were formed for the various branches of administration. The division of the country into districts and the creation of provincial colleges was modelled on the French Departmental Constitution of 1789, which also formed the basis for a new administrative organisation in other German states at the beginning of the 18th century. In 1818 it was put into effect, and at the same time the sections of internal administration, medicine, roads, bridges, hydraulic engineering, local government and the commission for communal use and allodification of peasant loans existing in the Ministry of the Interior, as well as the section of crown domains, the section of state accounts, the section of agriculture, the section of state treasuries in the Ministry of Finance, the section of foundations in the Ministry of Church and Education were abolished.After the instruction of Dec. 21. In 1819 the district governments in their district were the supreme authorities for all matters of state administration in the field of regimes (sovereign administration), the state police and the state economy and for the administration of the property of municipalities, official bodies and foundations, insofar as these objects were not assigned to other district or central offices (Chambers of Finance as well as Protestant Consistory, Catholic Church Council, Study Council, Superior Building Council, Provincial Stud Commission, Medical College, Upper Chamber of Accounts, Tax College, Forestry Council and Bergrat).The old 1819 directive was valid for 70 years, it was only replaced by the Decree of 15 Nov 1889 on the organisation of district governments and the course of their business. Their business was handled by a president as a member of the board, administrative councils and collegial assessors as well as the necessary office staff. For technical advice, a county medical council was temporarily assigned to the health service, a construction council for the road, bridge and hydraulic engineering of the municipalities and foundations, a construction council for the construction of the municipalities and foundations, and an expert for the approval of steam boiler plants. Business was transacted partly through collegial consultation and decision-making, partly through the office.In the course of time, a number of important tasks were transferred from the original tasks of the district governments to other middle and central authorities, such as the Ministerial Department for Road and Water Construction (1848), the Central Office for Agriculture (1848), the Central Office for Trade and Commerce (1848), the Corporate Forestry Directorate (1875), the Ministerial Department for Building Construction (1872), the Medical College (1881) and the Higher Insurance Office (1912).After 1870, new tasks arose for the district governments through new Reich and state laws, namely the Industrial Code, the laws on the formation of district poor associations, on the administration of administrative justice, on the representation of Protestant church and Catholic parishes and on the compulsory expropriation of land. In addition, at the beginning of the 20th century, the water law was reorganized, social legislation was expanded, and direct supervision of large and medium-sized cities was assigned to the district governments, which were responsible for the internal state administration - see the following table of contents - either as the decisive or the enacting authority 1. In the course of the dismantling of civil servants and offices, the district governments were replaced in 1924 by a new ministerial department for district and corporate administration, affiliated to the Ministry of the Interior, for all responsibilities that did not pass to the upper offices and the ministry. (Literature: Alfred Dehlinger, Württembergisches Staatswesen, 1951 - 1953 (especially § 127); Handwörterbuch der Württembergischen Verwaltung, edited by Dr. Friedrich Haller, 1915; Denkschrift über Vereinfachungungen in der Staatsverwaltung vom 27.2.1911, in: Verhandlungen der Württ. Zweiten Kammer 1911/12, Beilage 28, S. 385ff. The seat of the government of the Danube district established in 1818 was Ulm (district government of Ulm). It was responsible for the upper offices of Biberach, Blaubeuren, Ehingen, Geislingen, Göppingen, Kirchheim, Laupheim (before 1842 Wiblingen), Leutkirch, Münsingen, Ravensburg, Riedlingen, Saulgau, Tettnang, Ulm (with Albeck since 1819), Waldsee and Wangen. Equally ordered to these, but without the powers of the "high police" and the general state administration, were the - in 1849/50 dissolved - sovereign offices (patrimonial offices) Aulendorf (Gräfl. Königsegg-Aulendorfsches Amt), Buchau, Obermarchtal, Obersulmetingen and Scheer (Fürstl. Thurn and Taxis offices), Castle Waldsee (Prince Waldburg - Wolfegg - Waldsee Office), Wolfegg and Wurzach (Prince Waldburg-Wurzachs offices) and Zeil (Prince Waldburg - Zeil - Trauchburgs Office). In addition, it was in charge of the port management in Friedrichshafen, which was set up to handle the shipping and port police as well as the passport and alien police at the Württemberg port and landing areas. The district government exercised supervision over the Landarmenbehörde für den Donaukreis with its seat in Ulm. On the history of the registry: The large volume of files in the district governments, due to their extensive business activities, brought with it a periodically recurring overfilling of their registries, which in the 19th century was accompanied by cassations (maculation and sale of old files), after 1900 by duties to the archives of the interior or Extensive cassations took place at the district government in Ulm on the occasion of the relocation of the district government from the German House to the so-called Palais in 1859 and at an internal transfer of the chancellery in 1876 (cf. elimination lists in E 179 II Büschel 6565). Since everything that had lasting i.e. legal value for the administration was preserved according to instructions, the central, historically most valuable written record of the district government since its foundation was preserved despite these and other smaller cassations.Until the reorganisation of the registry in 1906, the registry of the district government of Ulm consisted of five departments (registries), most of which had their origins in previous authorities; in detail, these were Department I - II Regierungssachen, Spezialia und Generalia, Department III - IV Kommunsachen, Spezialia und Generalia (based on the registry of the municipal administration section) and Department V Registratur der Stiftungsverwaltung (according to the old classification, cf. Repertorium D 50). Within these departments, the files - with the exception of the foundation cases - were in alphabetical order.When the registrar Narr took office in 1887, the registry was in a precarious state, which he described as follows: "There is no repertory, the boxes and compartments are not numbered, the latter are not provided with rubrics, the fascicles are not overwritten, so that the official is only dependent on his memory and for months the files have not been repositioned" (report of 4.6.1887 in E 179 II Büschel 278a /85). This was remedied by the preparation of a file plan, which involved the external and internal reorganization of the registry. This now consisted essentially in the summary of rubrics - the original alphabetical order of the files had long since been broken - , in the division of the fascicles arranged according to objects according to places or according to the alphabet of the personal names from the year of engraving 1860 as well as in the allocation of storage place signatures according to boxes and subjects (see "Repertorium" in E 179 II Vol. 392).Change in the still largely outdated registry conditions was created in 1906 by Secretary General Nell with the amalgamation of the five departmental registries and the introduction of a registry plan comprising both the current and the depots of the 19th century with alphabetically arranged main sections, systematically subdivided sub-groups and box signatures (see "Repertorium" in E 179 II Vol. 393). After the abolition of the district governments in 1924, the processing office of the registry handed over the files of the former district government of Ulm to the state branch archives as well as to smaller parts of the ministerial department for district and corporate administration and to the upper offices (v.a. Civil rights files - admission, naturalizations, dismissals) as successor authorities, from which they later in part were transferred to the Ludwigsburg State Archives via other offices (cf. list of departures to E 173 - 180). To the order and distortion of the stock: For the use of the files of the district government Ulm only cursory archive and handover directories were available in the State Archives Ludwigsburg so far, which did not satisfy scientific requirements.As part of the longer-term re-drawing of the holdings of the four district governments, the inclusion of the official books of the Ulm district government was completed in 1970 (Repertorium E 179 I by Walter Böhm and Walter Bürkle). In contrast, the indexing of the file holdings begun in 1966, which was accompanied by a re-forming of the heavy and unwieldy file collections, took almost two decades. In spite of a wide range of official demands, the first arranger, Amtsrat Müller, with the temporary support of archive inspector candidate Joachim Herzer, was able to record almost half of the total 213.6 metres of shelving until his retirement in 1977. The title recording for the second part was made - with the assistance of the temporary employee Wally Vogler, who ordered and recorded the administrative administration of justice - by Karl Hofer, Councillor of the Office, from 1982 to 1984, who also edited the finding aid book.In fonds E 179 II, Kreisregierung Ulm, the following individual fonds have now been added (see also above):1. Delivery of the Kreisregierung Ulm from 1906 (to the Archiv des Innern): a) Generalia, developed by Archivrepertorium by Rechnungsrat Marquart from 1908 (Bund 1 - 99) as well as provisional Zettelrepertorium by Amtsrat Müller from 1966 ff.

(Bü. 3834 - 4157) and Amtsrat Hofer with the collaboration of Zeitangestellten Vogler (Bü. 4158 - 8485) 119.5 m (so far fonds E 179 III);3. Delivery of the ministerial department for district and corporate administration in Stuttgart from 1924 (to the Staatsfilialarchiv in Ludwigsburg): Supplements, indexed by the delivery index of Nov. 1924 (Bund 171 - 212) as well as a preliminary repertory of notes by Amtsrat Müller and Archivinspektoranwärter Herzer from 1974ff. (Bü. 3001 - 3833), 13.5 linear metres (so far collection stand E 173 - 180);4. Deliveries from the State Archives Sigmaringen (received there from the Regierungspräsidium Tübingen and from district offices) as well as from the Main State Archives Stuttgart (from the inventory of the Ministry of the Interior) from 1980 - 1983: Supplements, unlisted, title recordings 1984 by Amtsrat Hofer, 1.25 linear metres. M (= fonds E 179 IV) Foreign provenances were excavated to a greater extent from the 1906 delivery, but in the case of only a few documents were left with the files and the provenance assignment was noted in the title entries (see overview of foreign provenances in the appendix of the preliminary remark). The excavated documents could be assigned to already existing archival holdings, namely D 48a, Upper Government of the Department of Criminal Investigation and Upper Police Department or the Section of Internal Administration from 1806 - 1817 (access 4 m), D 49, Landesökonomiekollegium or Section of Municipal Administration from 1806 - 18917 (access 1.50 m), D 37, Section of Crown Domains and Foundations from 1811 - 1817 (access 9.5 m) and D 79 - 82, Districts and Bailiwicks from 1806 - 1817 (access 2.3 m). A total of 0.8 linear metres of records were handed over to the Main State Archives in Stuttgart and the State Archives in Sigmaringen, while 4 linear metres of records were cashed in for the Low Service Examination. ), it was possible for the benefit of the future evaluation of this extensive document delivery to form a total stock from the individual deliveries on the basis of this file plan. The title entries for the newer parts could be sorted back on the basis of the file numbers which are assigned analogously for the older parts ("Generalia - Spezialia"). the title entries created in the numerus currens-procedure kept their numbering even after the classification, so that the numerical order is preserved in the magazine, but not in the repertory. The original double numbering of the stocks "Generalia" and "Spezialia" could be eliminated by renumbering the "Spezialia" Büschel 1 - 1983 in Büschel 1001 - 2983, thanks to a larger numbering gap. The stock E 179 II has a circumference of 213.6 m. The highest order number is 8689. Order numbers that are not assigned are documented in the section on "Retroconversion".Ludwigsburg, August 1985Karl Hofer Fremdprovenienzen (ordered by the seat of the authorities): Allmendingen, SchultheißenamtBiberach, OberamtEhingen, KreisamtFreiburg, Vorderösterreichische StiftungsbuchhaltungGeislingen, OberamtGöppingen, Landvogtei an der Fils an.

In this so-called retroconversion, the basic structure of the template and the linguistic version of the texts were retained in principle (motto: "copy instead of revision"). This can lead to a certain discrepancy between the modern external appearance and the partly outdated design and formulation of the title recordings. Corrections, deletions and additions were verified and incorporated. Both the regular and the a numbers were checked, missing numbers were recorded in a separate list (see below).

The documents in this collection were handed over by the Carmel Foundation to the Main State Archives in 2004. Content and evaluation Copies of documents about the Templar community and other Christian communities active in Palestine, compilations about individual persons, documents of the Foreign Office, copies of books and magazines of the 19th and 20th centuries with reference to Palestine, travel descriptions. The temple society is a Christian-chiliastic religious community that originated around 1850 in the Kingdom of Württemberg. On 19 and 20 June 1861 the representatives of the German synods of the "Jerusalem Friends" gathered. The decision was made to leave the church as a group. At the same time the "German Temple" was founded as an independent religious movement, since "none of the existing churches aspired to the production of man as the temple of God and the production of the sanctuary for all peoples in Jerusalem" (according to the founding declaration). Thus the aims of the German temple movement were clearly presented in this founding document. By "observing the law, the gospel, and the prophecy," the members were to make themselves a temple. In addition, the community moved to Palestine. It was certain that the end times were near. In Württemberg and the other German countries about 3000 people joined. In addition, there were trailers from Switzerland, Russia and North America. Christoph Hoffmann and Georg David Hardegg, who had meanwhile fallen out, left for Palestine with their families in 1868 and arrived in Haifa on 30 October 1868. Haifa was selected on the advice of the German consul Weber and a missionary named Huber. At that time Haifa was still an insignificant city of about 4000 inhabitants. In the spring of 1869, the two officially founded the Temple of Haifa as an outpost and reception station. Haifa In January 1869, the German settlers succeeded in acquiring land outside the city walls through the mediation of a citizen of the city. In the period from May to June 1869, three representatives of the "Temple" visited Haifa on behalf of the Board. After their return they advised to accept Hardegg's ideas for the Haifa colony. Hardegg planned to build a road along the already acquired plots, which were located 15 minutes outside the previous town. First, five houses were to be built on each side of the street. In order to provide shade for the settlers during the summer, trees should also be planted along the street. By 1870, the colony already had 14 houses and 120 settlers. Initially, the settlers were mainly engaged in agriculture and viticulture. However, the need to expand the infrastructure and the opportunities it offered were quickly recognised. Thus it was the Templars living in Haifa who set up a carriage service between Haifa and Akko and, with the support of the Latin monastery of Nazareth and some Arab landowners, extended the connection between Haifa and Nazareth and made it passable for carriages. In 1875 the road was finished and the Templars set up a lucrative carriage service that brought tourists and pilgrims to Nazareth. The Karmelhotel was the first modern hotel in Haifa to be built according to the ideas of the time. But one of the most important decisions of the Haifa temple community was made in 1872. A pier was to be built as an extension of the road in the Templar colony. Until then, Jaffa was the only port in Palestine. Since large ships, such as passenger ships, could not enter the port, all passengers had to be transferred in small fishing boats. It was a profitable business for the local population. Friedrich Keller was Imperial Vice Consul in Haifa from 1878 to 1908. His main merit was that after a long dispute with the Ottoman authorities and the Carmelite monks, the German settlement was allowed to be extended to Mount Carmel. Jaffa Only three months after the foundation of the Haifa temple church, there was already the opportunity to plant a church in Jaffa. Five buildings of a former American Adventist colony were acquired through the mediation of the merchant Peter Martin Metzler. Since the buildings included the Hotel Jerusalem with 19 rooms, a hospital with pharmacy and a steam mill, the colonists in Jaffa could quickly offer services to the local population and pilgrims. Next to the Hotel Jerusalem the Hotel du Parc of Baron Plato of Ustinov was opened. By the end of 1870 the Templar colony already had 110 inhabitants in Jaffa. At the beginning, the hotel was an essential source of income for the Templars of Jaffa. Jaffa was then the most important port in Palestine and almost all pilgrims disembarked in Jaffa to continue their journey inland. The carriage rides from the port of Jaffa to Jerusalem and the transport of fruit from their own plantations to the port were therefore important sources of income. The profitability of passenger transport is shown by the fact that in 1875 a separate company was founded for passenger transport. This company concluded a contract with the Cook agency in the same year. Then the Templars should make all the journeys for Cook. With the expansion of transport, the construction and repair of wagons also experienced an upswing. Arabs, too, recognised the opportunities for earning money through transport and founded their own companies. They bought their carriages and wagons in Germany. The Templar Hotel was extended and a department store was built, where wealthy Arabs, among others, bought goods. In 1886 the first settlement was extended by the northern settlement Walhalla. There an important small industry formed around the iron foundry and machine factory of the Wagner brothers from Mägerkingen. Another industrial enterprise was the cement production of the Wieland brothers from Bodelshausen. In 1904 the Immanuelkirche was consecrated, which was designed by the architect Paul Ferdinand Groth. Sarona On 18 August 1871, the Templar Society near the river Jarkon acquired land. The first settler families came to Sarona in 1872. But malaria prevented a rapid expansion of the colony. In 1873 malaria was considered to have been defeated in the surrounding area. The settlers had planted eucalyptus trees and drained the surrounding swamps. But the disease had claimed many victims up to that point. In 1875 there were only 80 settlers in Sarona. Sarona's main source of income was agriculture. Few found work at the passenger transport company of the colony Jaffa. After the expulsion of the Templar Germans from the new state of Israel in 1950, Sarona Hakirya, from 1948 to 1955, became Israel's first seat of government and today a residential district of Tel Aviv. Some of the buildings are still accessible; they are located on Kaplan Street just before it joins Petah-Tiqvah Road. The largest part of the former Templar settlement lay for decades in the restricted area of the Ministry of Defence. The second official seat of the head of government is still located in one of the twelve of about one hundred former Templar houses. Jerusalem Already at the beginning of the 1870s some Templars moved to Jerusalem. Jerusalem, however, was far from becoming a Templar colony. The acquisition of land outside the old town at the upper end of the Rafaiter plain in 1873 and the following years did not change this. Also the considerations of the temple leadership at this time to transfer the leadership of the society to Jerusalem had no effect. There were about 100 Templars in Jerusalem in 1875. A "colony" could not yet be spoken of at this time, although the aim of emigration was to build a spiritual temple in Jerusalem. In 1878 the management of the Temple Society and the seat of the Temple Monastery, a training centre for young Templars, was moved from Jaffa to Jerusalem. This attracted many Templar families to Jerusalem, so that a colony could establish itself. This step towards Jerusalem marked the first completion of the first phase of the Templar occupation of Palestine. Wilhelma, Bethlehem Galilee, Waldheim The Wilhelma colony was established near Jaffa in 1902. In 1906, land for settlement was acquired in Galilee near Nazareth and the Bethlehem-Galilee colony, today Beit Lehem HaGlilit, was built on it. Both settlements, first Wilhelma, which is now called Bnei Atarot, and later also Bethlehem, which was developed only hesitantly, developed into model agricultural settlements. Mennonite Templars from southern Russia settled in Wilhelma next to the Templars. A third settlement, Waldheim, located in the immediate vicinity of Bethlehem in Württemberg, was founded by the German Protestant congregation of Haifa, which had split off from the temple society; it received help from the Society for the Promotion of German Settlements in Palestine m.b.H., based in Stuttgart. The collection documents the history of the German settlers in Palestine as well as the political conflicts in the settlement area in the 19th and early 20th centuries. The inventory comprises 144 units of description with approx. 3.5 linear metres. In April 2016 Peter Bohl

History of the Inventory Designer: Introduction Prehistory up to 1933 The rapid increase in car traffic after the First World War meant that road construction in Germany had to face up to these new requirements. The aim was to rapidly improve the existing road conditions and adapt them to the new requirements of increasing motorisation by extending the existing country roads and building motorways. Contemporary statistics show that in 1924 every 321st inhabitant in Germany owned a "car", while at the same time in France every 90th, in Great Britain every 71st and in the USA already every 7th inhabitant owned a car. The private German vehicle fleet in the country doubled in the years from 1923 to 1926 from 100,340 cars to 206,456. In 1933, only seven years later, almost 800,000 motor vehicles were registered in Germany. The construction of the Berlin AVUS (Automobil-Verkehrs- und Übungs-Straße) in 1921 as well as the activities of the Studiengesellschaft für Automobilstraßenbau (STUFA) played a special role, the latter in particular with regard to the extension of the existing country roads. However, the war and its consequences prevented a resumption of this discussion until the mid-twenties. With the founding of the association HAFRABA and its transition to GEZUVOR, plans for the new motorways in particular took shape, which, after the National Socialists took power, were quickly declared to be the "Führer's Roads". In the course of its work, HAFRABA drew up about 70 plans for a motorway network in Germany. The later central and territorial road construction administrations were able to profit from many results of their complex research, test series, but also from studies for the job creation of larger quantities of labour. The existing conditions with regard to the road administration in the respective sovereign jurisdiction on the one hand and the (Reich) legislator on the other, as well as the increasing blockage of road construction plans from Reich railway and financial circles, but also from the Länder and provinces, forced the necessity of a reorganisation of the road system in Germany to a certain extent, which did not take long after the seizure of power by the Hitler dictatorship. Adolf Hitler was not yet Chancellor of the Reich for two weeks when he put the construction of intersection-free motorways up for discussion in the cabinet. As early as 11 February 1933 he announced the "initiation and implementation of a generous road construction plan", with which both a modern transport system was to be created and unemployment effectively combated, but also reaped the opposition of Reichsbahn General Director Dorpmüller and Reich Finance Minister Count Schwerin von Krosigk. Nevertheless, he was determined to discuss the necessity of motorways with transport experts and leading representatives of the economy. In a conversation with HAFRABA managing director Willy Hof on 6 April 1933, he was informed in detail about the association's plans. As early as 27 June 1933, the Reich government announced, against the will of the Reichsbahn representatives, the formation of the company "Reichsautobahnen", which initially acted as a branch of the Deutsche Reichsbahn-Gesellschaft. One day later, Hitler appointed Dr. Fritz Todt, a highly intelligent civil engineer who was loyal to the line, as "Inspector General for German Roads". With the later "Decree on the General Inspector for the German Road System" of 30.11.1933, Todt was also transferred the business area of the company "Reichsautobahnen". The decree states: "For the execution of the construction of the Reichsautobahnen ... a supreme Reich authority shall be established with its seat in Berlin, the head of which shall be given the official title of 'General Inspector for the German Road System'. He is appointed by the Reich President at the suggestion of the Reich Chancellor and reports to the Reich Chancellor. Hitler was convinced of Todt's suitability after he had read his so-called "Brauner Bericht" (Brown Report), a memorandum on "Road Construction and Road Administration", in which Todt deals with the previous conditions of road construction in Germany and formulates objectives for the time of National Socialism. The new authority had the task to organize the construction of the "Reichsautobahnen" and the maintenance of the country roads, as far as they had belonged so far to the responsibility of the Reich Minister of Transport. Legal foundations The "Gesetz über die Errichtung eines Unternehmens Reichsautobahnen" of 27 June 1933, the first ordinance of 7 August 1933 and the "Gesetz zur Änderung Gesetz über die Errichtung eines Unternehmens Reichsautobahnen" of 18 December 1933 provided the Inspector General with a foundation of powers and authority which enabled him to implement the goals set by the Reich leadership as quickly as possible. This included the right to route and design the Reich's motorways as well as the right to levy charges, the right of expropriation and the assumption of state sovereign rights over the motorways. With the "Act on the Temporary New Regulation of the Road System and the Road Administration" of 26 March 1934, the division of roads into 1st motorways, later "Reichsautobahnen", 2nd Reich roads, 3rd country roads of the 1st order, 4th country roads of the 2nd order, was also introduced. The law of the land was amended in accordance with the provisions of the first order, and further regulations were made regarding the distribution of the road construction load, the administration of the Reich roads and the country roads of the first order, the road supervisory authority, etc. A general power of attorney to the greatest extent possible was granted to the Inspector General with the formulation written down in § 1 "The Inspector General for the German Road System determines which roads are subject to the provisions of this Act and which roads have the characteristics of Imperial roads and of Land Roads I. and II. I'll give you the order." The prerequisites created by the aforementioned legal bases were very soon reflected in the structure and organisation of the office of the Inspector General for German Roads. Organization and Structure In 1934, the Inspector General's Division comprised the two major areas of responsibility, Land Roads and Reich Motorways, as well as the resulting connections to the 30 Supreme Road Authorities with 176 State Construction, Road and River Offices of the Länder and Provinces on the one hand and the 15 Supreme Construction Supervisors with 65 Construction Departments for the motorways on the other. As a result, the internal service structure was as follows: Four departments were assigned to the Inspector General for German Roads. 1. department Landstraßen (L), 2. department Administration/Administration (V), 3. department Research/Exhibition/Congress (F) 4. department Reichsautobahnen (A) Furthermore, a landscape consultant was assigned to the Inspector General. In addition to a joint press and socio-political speaker, departments L and A were each assigned 5 speakers (L1 to L5 and A1 to A5), whose fields of work extended to cooperation with the road construction authorities in the Länder and provinces and with the supreme construction managers of the motorways. After that the following (territorial) competences arose: L1: Hanover, Oldenburg, Brunswick, Westphalia, Rhine Province, Hesse-Kassel, Schaumburg-Lippe, Lippe-Detmold L2: Bavaria, Baden, Württemberg, Hohenzollern, State of Hesse, Hesse-Wiesbaden L3: Thuringia, State of Saxony, Upper Silesia, Lower Silesia, East Prussia L4: Brandenburg, Grenzmark, Pomerania, Mecklenburg, Schleswig-Holstein, Province of Saxony, Anhalt L5: General affairs of the rural road sector, special tasks Job creation Department A - Reichsautobahnen A1: Site management Stettin, Hannover, Altona, Königsberg A2: Site management Breslau, Dresden, Halle, Kassel A3: Site management Essen, Cologne, Frankfurt/Main A4: Site management Munich, Stuttgart, Nuremberg A5: Special tasks: In the summer of 1934 Todt presented his first report on the activities of his authority. An overview of the road construction authorities from 1935 under the authority of the Inspector General illustrates the striving for a strongly centralised connection of road construction tasks in Germany. After Hitler's declaration on January 30, 1937, that the German Reich had regained unrestricted sovereignty over the Deutsche Reichsbahn and that the Deutsche Reichsbahn had been converted into a pure Reich administration by the law of February 10, 1937, the Reichsautobahnen were to be given a position similar to that of the Deutsche Reichsbahn. This was done in the "Gesetz zur Neuregelung der Verhältnisse der Autobahn" of 1 July 1938 and by the "3. Verordnung zur Durchführung des Gesetz über die Errichtung eines Unternehmen 'Reichsautobahnen'" of 1 June 1938. Fritz Todt was appointed chairman of the board of the Reichsautobahnen. The offices of the company became direct Reich authorities. Thus the company Reichsautobahnen lost its character as a society. The "Führerprinzip" (leader principle) practiced in all authorities of the "Third Reich" dominated the organization of the Reich's motorways at the latest since the enactment of this law. With the rapid progress of the political and economic processes in Germany, with rearmament, with the creation of ever new political and organizational structures in the Reich territory, with the invasion of Austria and the Sudetenland, with the erection of the Westwall after the occupation of the demilitarized Rhineland and finally with the beginning and course of the war, ever new and different organizational units and focal points of work developed within the office. The supreme construction management of the Reichsautobahnen was extended by similar authorities in the occupied areas. In the construction of the Westwall from the middle of 1938 onwards, the 22 superstructure superstructure lines at the German western border were firmly integrated, after Hitler, under heavy accusations against the General Staff of the Army, had given this task to Todt without further ado - it was the hour of birth of the "Organisation Todt". It had its first seat as Abteilung West in Wiesbaden. In the files of the Inspector General for the German Road System, an interweaving of tasks with other ministries (e.g. Reich Ministry of Transport, Reich Ministry of Finance), the NSDAP as well as the cooperation with many other organisations is reflected in many ways, e.g. the National Socialist Association of German Technology (NSBDT), the German Labor Front (DAF), the National Socialist Motor Corps (NSKK) and the German Automobile Club (DDAC), and many others. The business distribution plan of the Inspector General of October 28, 1938 clearly expresses that the company was already at the level of political development. Directly subordinate to the Inspector General were now not only the 4 departments but also three other business areas: Research, NSDAP compounds, imperial defence and defence (cf. Fig. page XII). Fritz Todt held a number of political offices. From 1933 he was not only Inspector General for German Roads, but also Head of the Main Office for Technology of the NSDAP, 1938 he became General Plenipotentiary for the Regulation of the Construction Industry, 1940 Reich Minister for Armament and Ammunition as well as Inspector General for the Special Tasks in the Four-Year Plan, 1941 Inspector General for Water and Energy. At the height of his political career Todt died in a plane crash on 8 February 1942 near the "Führerhauptquartier" near Rastenburg/ East Prussia. Albert Speer took office on 9 February 1942. Inventory description: Inventory history The inventory summarised in inventory R 4601, General Inspector for the German Road System, consists of several parts from the former GDR and the Federal Republic of Germany. This includes around 2,300 files and almost 1,800 card index sheets from the former Central State Archives of the GDR, which were formerly kept there as holdings 46.01 and were recorded in a finding aid file, some of them with very general and inaccurate title records. The files of the holdings R 65 I to R 65 IV described below were added from the Federal Archives. Here, finding aids with precise title entries and notes on contents were available. In addition to Todt's "Brounen Denkschrift" (Brown Memorandum), the R 65 I holdings included 34 other files from US returns from 1934 to 1945, as well as files from the Building Department Wittlich 1941 (1), the Wiesbaden Department 1938-1943 (2), the Böttger 1938-1945 (11), Bonacker 1937, 1942-1944 (2), Dittrich 1926-1952 (67), Schönleben 1939-1944 (6), and supplements 1939 (1). The collection R 65 II contained 141 files of the Reichsautobahndirektion Berlin and was handed over to the Federal Archives by the Federal Minister of Transport in 1962 (official files of the Federal Archives, file no.: 3115/4, note dated 31 Jan. 1962). The inventory R 65 III was a collection of decrees of the Inspector General. The inventory R 65 IV contained personal files, of which 112 files have been catalogued and a further 12 running metres have not been catalogued. Archival evaluation and processing The inventory was indexed using the above-mentioned finding aids by entering it into the BASYS-S database of the Federal Archives for the purpose of making the finding aid data available online. A physical reception of the files did not take place due to time reasons with some exceptions. The archive signatures of the Potsdam holdings were largely retained during the indexing process, but each volume was given its own archive signature for found files with volume numbers. The signatures begin: at no. 1 for the former stock 46.01, at no. 3001 for the former stock R 65 I, at no. 4001 for the former stock R 65 II, at no. 5001 for the former stock R 65 III, at no. 10001 for the former stock R 65 IV. The 112 personal files already opened up have been newly recorded, but are not part of this finding aid book. The existing classification was largely renewed and is based both on the organizational structure of the inventory generator and on its functional responsibilities. The internal order of the files has been maintained. The inventory has already been moved from standing folders to folders.
