Administrative history/biographical information: Details from the Findbuch, compiled in 1961 by Archivdirektor Kossack (corrected and edited version): Der Universitäts-Kurator in Berlin - Behörden- und Bestandsgeschichtlicher Rückblick (The University Curator in Berlin - Review of Authorities and Inventory History) Heinz Kossack compiled a review of the history of authorities of the office of curator at the University of Berlin from the time the university was founded until 1945 in 1960. The order and distortion of this inventory made it necessary to give such a retrospective so that all those who use it would be aware of its importance and significance for the history of the university. The relationship between university and state, which was controversial among scientists and scholars, especially in the time of the feudal-absolutist state, confronts us in one way or another in this inventory when reviewing the archives. The state authority, be it in the form of the absolute or constitutional monarchy, the republic or the National Socialist dictatorship, enforces its demands against the university through a representative "on the spot" and controls the implementation of the given instructions and directives. This commissioner is the curator, although it should be noted that in Berlin the Ministry for Spiritual, Teaching and Medical Affairs carried out the most important curatorial tasks itself until 1923. Therefore the existence begins only with the employment of the extraordinary government plenipotentiary in the year 1819. Authority history I. The curator up to the appointment of the a. o. government plenipotentiary 1810-1819 By the regulation because of improved mechanism of the provincial authorities from 30 April 1815 (Pr. GS. 1815, S. 85ff) § 16 it was decreed that each chief president should be as "constant Commissarius curator of the university, which is in the province entrusted to him". The term "curator" appears in this ordinance, although the university's statutes of 1816 do not know it. The tasks of this curator were specified in the decree of 26 December 1808 (Pr. GS. p. 467ff) in § 10 (3) concerning the improved establishment of provincial, police and financial authorities (Pr. GS. p. 467ff) as follows: "the internal establishment of the universities the economic curate the appointment and employment of teachers of the university". For the University of Berlin, however, the Ministry of Spiritual, Teaching and Medical Affairs, formed by the Allerhöchste Kabinetts-Order of 3 November 1817 from the former Department of Cult and Public Education of the Ministry of the Interior, had reserved the performance of the so-called curatorial affairs for itself. Therefore, nothing is known about this period of the curator's activity at the University of Berlin. TWO. The Extraordinary Government Plenipotentiary 1819-1848 The Instruction for the Extraordinary Government Plenipotentiaries at the Universities of 18 November 1819 (Pr. GS. 1819, p. 233ff), issued by King Frederick William III of Prussia with the countersignature of the State Chancellor of Hardenberg in the execution of the Karlovy Vary resolutions for Prussia, initiated the blackest period in the history of the university on the one hand, but on the other hand it created clearer conditions in the history of the authorities. This instruction, which made the Government Plenipotentiary's task of lace-making both against the university teachers and against the students, transferred in Section IV that § 16 of the Decree was repealed because of improved establishment of the Provincial Authorities of 30 April 1815, according to which each Chief President was to be the curator of the university in the province entrusted to him. The powers of the trustees should be transferred to the government officials. However, in order not to eliminate the chief presidents completely, it was ordered that they should support the government plenipotentiaries by all means. Section V pointed out that the Government Plenipotentiaries are in the same position as the Trustees and clearly specified the tasks of the Government Plenipotentiaries: 1. they are to be regarded as deputies of the Ministry, as are the Trustees. Therefore, their orders must be executed by the academic authorities and all reports, including those of the directors of institutes and collections, must go through their hands. 2. are directly subordinated to the Ministry of Spiritual, Educational and Medical Affairs and report only to it. They also receive their orders and resolutions only from the ministry. 3. You will receive the necessary service personnel. If necessary, all "subalterns" of the universities should be made available to them. However, a special reservation was made at the University of Berlin, in that the instruction of 18 November 1819 ordered that it was reserved for the Ministry to carry out the curatorial duties directly, but to transfer them to the government representative to such an extent that he could act in the best interests of the university. By decree of the Minister of 20 November 1819, the University was informed that the Geh. Oberregierungsrat Schultz had been appointed Government Plenipotentiary. However, the following restriction has been made: "Since the Instruction for the Government Plenipotentiaries reserves to the Minister the right to delegate to him part of the business of the Board of Trustees of the Royal University within himself, the Privy Council of the Supreme Government Schultz has been provisionally instructed in general to establish a personal relationship with the University, its staff and its institutes and facilities, to maintain itself in continuous and ongoing knowledge thereof, to investigate the shortcomings and needs of the University in all its branches and to bring them to the attention of the Ministerio together with appropriate proposals for their secondment, to see for itself that the orders made or approved by the Ministerio, whatever part of the university institutions or the institutes and collections belonging thereto they also concern, are promptly and fully implemented, and to report to the Ministerio on their implementation." Schultz ran the business until May 1824, when he was succeeded under the same circumstances by the Beckedorff supreme government council. The Cabinet Order of 21 May 1824 regulated in particular the position of the Government Plenipotentiary to the Rector and the sub-officials of the University. Thereafter, the Government Plenipotentiary was the Rector's superior in charge of supervising the Rector's conduct of office. Furthermore, the subordinates of the University were obliged to obey the orders of the Government Plenipotentiary in the matters which he dealt with directly. Because of the matters concerning the Rector and Senate, the Government Plenipotentiary could issue his instructions to the sub-officials by the Rector. Beckedorff retired in June 1827. By ministerial decree of 14 June 1827, it was decreed that the rector and the university judge should now act jointly as deputy government representatives. This regulation existed until 1841. After confirmation by the ministry, the rector was entrusted with the performance of this activity with the university judge. However, by decree of 13 April 1841, this transitional arrangement was repealed and the duties of the Government Plenipotentiary were entrusted to the Director of the Ministry's Education Department, Oberregierungsrat von Ladenberg, with effect from 1 June 1841. After an instruction for v. Ladenberg as temporary curator and extraordinary government representative, it was particularly emphasized because of the tasks of the curator that v. Ladenberg should only perform these tasks to the extent that they were not processed by the ministry. We therefore find this restriction in the corresponding decrees on an ongoing basis. Furthermore, according to this instruction, the rector and the university judge were again deputy government plenipotentiaries, i.e. the government plenipotentiary could delegate his duties to the rector and the university judge in the absence of the rector and the university judge. In April 1848, following the decision of the Federal Assembly, the exceptional legislation of the German Confederation enacted in 1819 was repealed. The Federal Decrees on the use of extraordinary government plenipotentiaries at universities also fell within the scope of this resolution. III The Board of Trustees of the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin 1848-1923 By decree of the Minister for Spiritual, Teaching and Medical Affairs of 18 July 1848, Ladenberg was recalled from office as a government representative and instructed to limit himself to the pure functions of a curator. These functions consisted according to § 10 (3) of the decree of 28 September 1808 (Pr. GS. 1806-1810, p. 467) in: a.) the internal institution; b.) the economic board of trustees; c.) the appointment and employment of teachers because of improved establishment of the provincial, police and financial authorities (Pr. GS. 1806-1810, p. 467). At the same time, the decree stated that the final provisions on university boards of trustees should only be recast after a general reform of universities had been carried out. However, this reform did not take place until 1918. Since von Ladenberg was entrusted with the direction of the Ministry, he appointed the then Rector and Deputy University Judge to administer the duties of the Board of Trustees by decree of 16 November 1848. Since then, the duties of curator have remained with the University of Berlin until 1923, unless they were handled by the ministry itself, with the respective rector and university judge. The official designation was: "Deputy Curators" or "Royal Board of Trustees of the Friedrich Wilhelm University of Berlin". The activities of the Board of Trustees consisted in the processing of: 1. matriculation matters; 2. scholarship matters; 3. administrative matters. To 1.): Here, the Board of Trustees was particularly active in the admission of students in accordance with the ministerial regulations issued for this purpose. Too 2.): Granting support to needy and dignified students, continuing the administration of scholarship foundations and their revision. To 3.): The administrative matters concerned the authorisation to allocate budgetary appropriations up to RM 6000 per year. Furthermore, student statistics had to be prepared for the ministry and other special orders had to be handled by the ministry. At a later stage it seems that the personnel files of professors and other employees have been added. The tasks of this board of trustees were therefore rather limited. Therefore also the file material available from this time is relatively small and little productive. The staffing was carried out in such a way that, in addition to the Government Plenipotentiary, a clerical secretary was active. The latter was named curatorial-secretary after the abolition of the institution of the government plenipotentiary. His tasks were: a.) The keeping of the journal, a file repertory and an index; b.) The preparation of all copies; c.) The stapling and rotating of the files; d.) The preparation of various lists. The report of the curatorial secretary Schleusener of 26 February 1858 shows that the registry at that time contained 335 volumes of files. Furthermore, according to Schleusener's report, 250-260 new things were received each year and 140 letters were issued and "mundiert" (mouthed). This office of curatorial secretary was maintained until 1923. After Daudé, the curatorial secretary had the following duties in 1887: a.) Completion of registration work and management of the journal; b.) Acceptance of applications for enrolment (4 semesters, subsequent enrolment); c.) The registration of the student (4 semesters, subsequent enrolment).) Preparation of expeditions and clean copies of the correspondence of the Board of Trustees; d.) Preparation of expeditions and clean copies concerning the administration of the title "Insgemein" and the support fund; e.) Provision of information to students regarding the admission requirements for their studies. In addition, the curatorial secretary had to work on some tasks in the closer university service, since he obviously could not be fully employed in his own field of work. The distribution of business remained essentially the same until 1923. IV. The administrative director at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin 1923-1936 The statutes of the University of Berlin of 1930, which were issued on the basis of the decision of the Prussian State Ministry of 20 March 1923, provided in § 5, p. 2 an administrative director with the following duties: "The external administration of the institutes, seminars and institutions including the clinics outside the Charité on behalf of the minister. He oversees the university's budget, treasury and accounting." Under Articles 83-84 of the Statutes, the Administrative Director was required to exercise certain powers in the appointment of officials in grades A 7 to A 11. Erich Wende, "Grundlagen des Preußischen Hochschulrechts", p. 59, speaks of the administrative director as the minister's representative in the external affairs of the natural science and humanities institutes and institutions and the clinics outside the Charité. The remaining tasks of the former Board of Trustees have been transferred to the Rector, who is supported by the University Council. There is no doubt that these are mainly the tasks that had to be carried out with enrolment. Compared to the former board of trustees, however, the number of employees has now increased to about 10 (civil servants, employees, clerks). After the fall of communism (loc. cit., p. 53 et seq.), the creation of the office of Administrative Director is the result of a fundamental university reform that had been discussed long before the outbreak of the First World War. The first administrative director at the University of Berlin was the former university judge Geh. Regierungsrat Dr. Wollenberg, who was replaced by Dr. Büchsel in 1925. V. The University Curator in Berlin 1936-1945 The institution of the Administrative Director remained in existence until 1936. With effect from 1 April 1936, by decree of the Reich Minister for Science, Education and Popular Education of 2 April 1936 (W Ib No. 861, Z II), the position of Administrative Director was transformed into that of Curator. The former Administrative Director Dr. Büchsel, who worked as curator until 1944 with minor interruptions, was entrusted with the management of the business. The tasks of the university curator in Berlin, as the official name was, seem to have been very extensive, measured by the number of staff (34 civil servants, employees and typists). There is a business allocation plan which divides the entire administrative area into 7 working groups (see Annex). In order to achieve a settlement of competences between rector and curator, the Minister for Science, Education and Popular Education issued a corresponding draft of a speaker by decree of 9 March 1942 (WA 278/42), the further fate of which could not be established. The draft is based on the assumption that the curator for the area of external operating resources and the stock of equipment and personnel, which only enables teaching and research to be carried out, is the local representative of the Reich Ministry. According to the a.m. draft, the external administration of higher education institutions included the following tasks: 1. the appointment and employment of all university staff outside the teaching staff and scientific officials, but including assistants, and the supervision of these groups of persons; 2. the handling of all civil servants' and remuneration-related matters for all officials belonging to the higher education sector, in this case including university teachers and scientific officials, and the keeping of the personal files of these officials. 3. the swearing in of the civil servants listed under 1. with the exception of the assistants; 4. the management of the budgetary, cash and accounting system; 5. the entire external administration of the institutes, seminars, clinics and other institutions; 6. the management of the building and property administration; 7. the representation of the state university administration vis-à-vis other authorities and the representation of the state and the university in legal transactions and legal disputes before and outside the court. The curator also had the Central Registration Office for Supply Aspirants for the area of the entire scientific administration in the former German Reich, whose activity, however, ended in 1944 as a result of transfer to another office. Furthermore, the respective administrative director or curator was administrative director of the University Hospital and chairman of several examination commissions (e.g. food chemist examination, insurance expert examination). This complex of tasks remained essentially unchanged until 1945. With the collapse of the Nazi state, the activities of the curator's office also ended. This marks the end of a development phase in the administrative history of the university.

Zentral-Vormerkungsstelle Preface: Archive Director Heinz Kossack listed the holdings in 1961 and compiled an extensive finding aid book. The units of distortion already taken over into the archive software some time ago were checked, corrected and supplemented in 2016/17. Some file units (mostly no. XX/1) were probably not assigned to this collection until later - these numbers did not exist in the find book Kossack 1961. Information from the find book Kossack 1961 created (excerpt): The inventory of the university curator was partly scattered according to signatures and partly mixed with other inventories, partly in the magazine, partly in the archivist's workroom. Order and registration work seems never to have been carried out on the inventory. There were no major losses in the portfolio. The entire collection was recorded and arranged by Heinz Kossack in the period from January 1960 to February 1961. The distortion could take place at first only after the Bärschen principle. The order was then established in the holdings of the Government Plenipotentiary according to the old signatures. In the case of the administrative director and curator, the order could be established according to the present file plan (administrative structure principle). Period to: 1950 Period from: 1819 Citation method: HU UA, University Curator.01, No. XXX. HU UA, UK.01, No. XXX. Inventory history: History of the files and the registry: At first it could be established that the registry was structured according to the following system: a) Government Plenipotentiary, from 1819, Board of Trustees from 1848, Administrative Director 1923 to 1928, subject formation according to keywords alphabetically. Hand stapled files were kept. The file number was formed, applying the letter with number. Example: Litt. A. No. 1/ VollII. From this time a file index or repertory could not be found. If a new file was created, the subject was added to the corresponding letter under the following number. It was not possible to determine whether a central registry existed, but it can be assumed. On the basis of a file handover register from 1848, it could be established that the holdings of the government authorised representative have been almost completely preserved. b) Administrative Director 1928 - 1936 In 1928, as a result of the office reform, the use of filing cabinets was switched to in 1928. The previous keyword system was abandoned at the same time. The numbering system was introduced. The reference number, which was now the same as the reference number, consisted of three digits. The structure of the file plan was such that the numerical series I 100 - I 199 fundamental matters: included personnel, insurance, organisational and support matters. The numbers II 200 - II 399 included: Cash and accounting matters, building and property matters, legal and procedural matters, student body matters, examination matters. Numbers III 400 - III 640 include the building budgets, material and personnel matters of the faculties, seminars and institutes. Numbers IV 650 - IV 700 included the construction budget, the material and human resources of the university hospital and the dental institute. The new file number formed in this way was e.g: "VD 126/30" State of development, extent: Ordered and completely listed; extent: approx. 35 running metres

The history of the Franck company ranges from the foundation of the chicory factory in Vaihingen in 1828 to the transition to Nestlé Deutschland AG, Frankfurt in 1987. A description of the company history was omitted in favour of a chronicle in tabular form. The files recorded in this finding aid book originate from a file delivery from 1978, which took place on the occasion of the firmation with Nestlé Gruppe Deutschland GmbH, Frankfurt (since 1987 Nestlé Gruppe Deutschland AG) and the transfer of the management of Unifranck Lebensmittelwerke GmbH to Munich. The printed company chronicles were taken from the previously unrecorded library records in the Ludwigsburg State Archives, which were also handed over in 1978, to complete the unprinted company chronicles of inventory PL 5. The structure of the records was based on the organisational plan of the Heinrich Franck Sons Central Administration of 1919 (PL 5 Bü. 145) and the existing old signatures. The registry order to be derived from the organizational plan and the old signatures, which was arranged according to the type of products manufactured, the central connection to Ludwigsburg or Berlin and the location of the branch, was reduced to the location and departmental responsibility according to the organizational plan of 1919 due to the incomplete nature of the archive records (some registry signatures were missing completely) and easier access. The products manufactured were not taken into account as distinguishing features. Little can be said about the history of the company archive. The central offices in Ludwigsburg and Berlin had the main significance. In 1935 the trademarks were transferred "for security reasons" from the registries in Ludwigsburg and Linz to Berlin (StAL PL 5 Bü. 145). From 1943 to 1947, a large-scale transfer of files and advertising material to Ludwigsburg took place (StAL PL 5 Bü. 1). To what extent and according to which criteria cassations were carried out until the files were delivered to the Ludwigsburg State Archives in 1978/1981 must remain open. The fact that they took place can be concluded from the incomplete registry signatures. Dr. Ruth Kappel was responsible for organising and indexing the finds as part of her practical training as a business archivist from October to December 1991. Dr. Günter Cordes took over the indexing and completion of the finding aid in 1992. The inventory was packaged by Bruno Wagner. The data acquisition was done by Hildegard Aufderklamm.Ludwigsburg, January 1992Ruth Kappel Company chronicle: 1827First attempts at chicory coffee production by Johann Franck, owner of a confectionery and speciality shop in Vaihingen/Enz1828Establishment of the chicory factory in Vaihingen/Enz by Johann Heinrich FranckEstablishment of chain stores for the production of intermediate products:- 1832 Darre in Steinbach (today Wernau, district of Esslingen)- 1844 Darre in Großgartach (today Leingarten, district of Heilbronn)- 1851 Darre with roasting plant and mill in the Rieter valley near Enzweihingen (today Vaihingen, district of Ludwigsburg)- 1855 Darre in Meimsheim (today Brackenheim, district of Heilbronn)Later foundations with freight railway connection:- 1855 Darre in Bretten (Baden)- 1880 Darre in Eppingen (Baden)- 1880 Darre in Marbach/Neckar1867 Death of company founder Johann Heinrich Franck1868 Relocation from Vaihingen to Ludwigsburg (direct railway connection)1871 Firmation to Heinrich Franck Söhne OHG, LudwigsburgFoundation of branches:- 1879 Linz/Donau- 1883 Komotau (today CR)- 1883 Milan 1883 Basel- 1887 Bucharest H.

• 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.

Find Resources: Rep. 800 files concerning youth and welfare care, some minute books Institutions/Personal History: The municipal welfare system begins with the foundation of the poor people's office through the entry into force of the city. After the transfer of the tasks of the Gemeindewaisenrat the Armenamt was renamed to 1 July 1900 in orphan and poor office and to 1 October 1918 in welfare office on 1 April 1883. On 3 July 1914 the local statute concerning the establishment of a youth welfare office was issued. As early as 1923, there were plans to merge the welfare office and the youth welfare office. Initially the name Jugend- und Wohlfahrtsamt was used unofficially. By Magistratsbeschluß of 5 April 1928 the united welfare and youth welfare office received the designation welfare office. Collection history: The collection consists of several provenances due to the above-mentioned office restructuring. Most of the files came through Arch-Zug. 1944/21 into the city archives. Further taxes were levied in 1990 and 1997 respectively. Notes on use: # 1,794 is blocked for use. A reader printer printout is available under Bibl. Sign. 98/45.

Foreword: Foreword Findbuch HHS I: Behörden- und Bestandsgeschichtliche Einleitung History of the Registraturbilders: The Handelshochschule Berlin is a foundation of the elders of the Berlin merchant community. It was opened in October 1906 and initially had the following tasks: ""To provide young merchants with in-depth general and commercial education, taking constant account of practical circumstances; "to give prospective commercial school teachers the opportunity to acquire the necessary theoretical and practical specialist training; "to provide judicial, administrative, consular and chamber of commerce officials, etc., with the opportunity to work in the field of business administration. (1) The training should not, however, serve exclusively practical purposes, but the scientific character of the new institution should occupy an important place in the effectiveness of the new university. This condition had also been imposed by the Ministers for Trade and Commerce and for Spiritual, Teaching and Medical Matters in the approval of the Order of 27.12.1903, whereby special reference was made to "keeping the Handelshochschule at the same level as the other Berlin universities"(2) At the time of the opening, the teaching staff consisted of 8 lecturers in the main office 30 lecturers in the secondary office 13 private lecturers 4 assistants Students, guest students and listeners were admitted to study. The admission requirements stipulated that, in addition to merchants entitled to "one-year voluntary service" and having completed their apprenticeship, high school graduates and teachers could also be admitted to the 2nd teacher training examination. The curriculum provided for the following subjects: Economics: banking, stock exchange, monetary and credit affairs, cooperatives, transportation, trade, commerce, agricultural, colonial and social policy, statistics, finance, insurance, commercial history, economic geography Legal studies: civil law, commercial law, commercial law, bill of exchange and maritime law, insurance law, social legislation, industrial property law, prosecution (international transport), state, administrative and international law, criminal law Commodities science:Physics, Chemistry, Mechanical Technology, Chemical Technology, Industrial Health Commercial Engineering: Accounting, Commercial Accounting, Correspondence Methodology of Commercial Education Languages: English, French, Spanish, Italian, Russian, German (for foreigners) General Humanities: History, History of Art, History of Literature, Philosophy The duration of the studies was 2 years. After completing their studies, students had the opportunity to take both an examination for practical business people and a diploma examination. (3) In the years 1912, 1920, 1924, 1927 and 1937, the examination regulations were amended several times in accordance with the changed conditions and requirements for graduates of the Handelshochschule or were completely revised. Apart from the diploma examination, the commercial teacher examination could also be taken. (4) In addition, diploma commercial teachers had the opportunity to take an additional examination in the writing subjects and office economics. (5) The examination regulations from 1937, which applied until 1945, also provided for the possibility of a diploma examination as an economist, which, however, could only be taken since 1944 at the Berlin School of Economics. (6) The constitution of the Handelshochschule of 15.11.1923 made admission to studies dependent on the acquisition of a school leaving certificate and set the duration of studies at 4 years. Since 1928, it had been possible to take the special matriculation examination in order to obtain a university entrance qualification, which was prepared by so-called "private matriculation examination courses". The number of students in the years 1906-1933 rose from 213 in the winter semester 1906/1907 to 1184 in the winter semester 1919/20, 1234 in the winter semester 1928/29 and reached the highest number of 1260 in the summer semester 1932. In the years 1933-1945 the number of students including guest students and visitors ranged between 500 and 1700. (7) The first official course catalogue of the summer semester 1907 announced lectures in the following fields of knowledge: Economics Economics Law Economic Geography and Economic History Pure and Applied Natural Sciences, Commodities Technology Languages Theory and Practice of Commercial Education General Scientific Education Skills (short writing) It should be particularly emphasized that lectures on colonial politics and colonial economics occupied a large space within economics. (8) Apart from some changes and additions, the structure of the curriculum remained constant. In addition, the curriculum was included in the following years: Insurance Cooperative Studies Physics and Chemistry were reported as separate courses. Lectures on "Russian economic conditions" and "Eastern Europe" were also announced in the SS 1914. In the winter semester of 1917/18 the lecturer Dr. lic. Rohrbach said in his lecture "German World Politics" that he still had to talk about the "struggle for the rise of the Germans to a world people". After the November Revolution, which, according to the report of the then rector, Prof. Leitner, was a consequence of "the violent end of the world war by the superiority of matter and the internal enemies of the people" (10), many lectures dealt with economic and general political problems of the post-war period. (So e.g. "Development of the political parties a Germany - L. Bergsträsser - Lessons of the World War - Wegener -) Germany's geographical, political and economic world position (The encirclement as a result of our geographical disadvantages - Liberation from the predicament - Rohrbach-) (11) Lectures for the Berlin teaching staff in which the following topics were dealt with were new: "The Foundations of Socialism" (The Doctrine of Class Struggle, Socialist Value Doctrine, Socialism of Action, socialist theories of state) "The economic theories and their Connection with the intellectual movement of modern times" (12) As of SS 1923, the term "business administration" was introduced instead of "private economics". The structure of the syllabus and curriculum remained essentially the same until 1935. In May 1935, the Reich Minister for Science, Education and Popular Education issued "Guidelines for the Study of Economics", which corresponded entirely to the aims of fascist university policy: Orientation of the teaching staff and students towards the unscientific theories of National Socialism that are hostile to the people and people. Thus the following lecture topics appeared in the lecture timetables of the years 1935/36-1945: "Germanistic Prehistory" "People, especially People Becoming a People as the Sense of the National Revolution "The German Abroad and its Schools" "People and Race" "States", especially Workers and Entrepreneurs for the Sociology of the Operating Community) "State", especially Economy and Space "National Economy", especially Daily Questions of National Socialist Economic Policy, Military Science, Military Science "Business Administration", especially Human Management in Companies, Foreign Trade Businesses under the Influence of the New Plan, Warfare and Transport Routes, The establishment of the Handelshochschule is part of the period of the development of capitalism, free competition with imperialism, and the establishment of the Handelshochschule is part of the period of the development of capitalism. German imperialism, which was neglected in the division of the world between the imperialist great powers, also put the educational institutions at the service of its economic expansion policy. The cadres needed to cope with these tasks had to have a higher level of training than the business people trained at technical colleges. In this sense, the then rector of the Handelshochschule, Prof. Leitner, in a memorandum written in December 1919 to obtain the right to award doctorates, also spoke of the fact that "the development of Germany from an agricultural state to an industrial state, the emergence of large and giant industrial enterprises, the expansion of national trade to international and world trade, finally the concentration and expansion in the German banking industry towards the end of the last century had necessitated the establishment of special technical colleges for merchants and higher commercial officials. (13) Thus the commercial college objectively served to strengthen and consolidate the imperialist system. The connection with commercial, industrial and bank capital was particularly close because the Handelshochschule had been part of the business division of the Berlin Chamber of Industry and Commerce since July 1920. Franz von Mendelssohn: Banker, former President of the Berlin Chamber of Industry and Commerce Philipp Vielmetter: General Director of Knorr-Bremse AG, Vice President of the Berlin Chamber of Industry and Commerce, Treasurer of the Gesellschaft der Freunde der Handelshochschule Karl Gelpcke: Director of Hypothekenbank Hamburg, President of the Berlin Chamber of Industry and Commerce Friedrich Reinhart: Prussian State Councillor, President of the Berlin Chamber of Construction Economics, Chairman of the Supervisory Board of Commerz- und Privatbank AG The administration of the Handelshochschule was initially carried out by the eldest members of the Berlin business community. The so-called "Grand Council of the College of Commerce", to which the members belonged, existed as an advisory body: "The President of the College of Elders, two representatives of the State Government, the Rector of the Handelshochschule, one representative of the Berlin University, one representative of the Technische Hochschule Berlin, six delegates of the College of Elders, two members of the Finance Commission, three lecturers employed in the main office and to be elected by the teaching staff, a member of the Berlin City Council, a member of the Berlin City Assembly, a member of the Chamber of Commerce, the General Counsel of the School of Management, five other outstanding personalities appointed by the elders of the commercial team who have confirmed their interest in the School of Management." (15) The Rector of the College of Commerce was elected for 3 years, later for 2 years by the College of Lecturers and had to be confirmed by the Minister of Commerce and Industry, who was entrusted with the supervision of the school by the Prussian State Government. The supervision was initially carried out by a representative in the Grand Council, later by a so-called "State Commissioner". There were 7 institutes and seminars when the university was founded. From winter term 1918/19 the 1st syndic of the corporation was appointed as curator of the university. With effect from 1.7.1920, the corporation of the merchants was incorporated into the Berlin Chamber of Industry and Commerce and thus the commercial college was subordinated to the Berlin Chamber of Industry and Commerce. In addition to the "Grand Council", a college of commerce administration commission was formed, the majority of which consisted of representatives of commercial, industrial and bank capital. The Administrative Commission had the task of taking care of the administrative affairs of the university. The university counted at that time 8 Ordinarien 33 lecturers in the Nebenamt 1 Privatdozenten 37 lecturers and 7 Lektors it existed at that time now 14 institutes and seminars. The constitution of the commercial college of 22.10.1923, which replaced the order of 21.12.1903, reorganised the constitutional status of the college. (16) The names of the members of the teaching staff have been brought into line with those of the university. So there were only professors, lecturers, private lecturers, assistant lecturers and lecturers at the university. As a representative of the teaching staff, the "Dozentenkollegium" was created, to which only the professors belonged with seat and vote, and 2 representatives of the remaining teaching staff. Without voting rights 2 further members were admitted. The teaching staff had the task of monitoring the completeness of the teaching, submitting proposals for appointments and deciding on the admission of private lecturers. In addition, the board of lecturers elected the rector, whose term of office was 2 years. The professors were appointed by the Chamber of Commerce and Industry subject to confirmation by the Ministers of Commerce and Industry and Science, Arts and Popular Education. The so-called State Treaty, which was concluded between the Minister for Trade and Commerce and the President of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce on 16.7.1926, granted the Handelshochschule Berlin the rights of a university according to the provisions of the General Land Law. In this respect, the Handelshochschule was placed on an equal footing with the other universities and colleges. (17) The right to award doctorates, which has been demanded by all members of the teaching staff for years, has also been conferred on the university. (18) The right of habilitation had already been held by the Handelshochschule since 22.5.1915. (19) A board of trustees was appointed for the administration of the Handelshochschule. In addition, it was stipulated that the bodies otherwise existing at universities should also be formed, e.g. a senate which had not existed until then. The Board of Trustees consisted of the following members: the President of the Chamber of Industry and Commerce or his deputy, a second executive chairman appointed by the President after hearing the Chamber of Industry and Commerce, 7 members elected by the Chamber of Commerce, the Rector and Prorector of the School of Commerce or their deputies, and the corresponding full-time professors with an advisory vote in matters relating to individual areas of teaching. The appointment of these members took place for 3 years. In detail, the Board of Trustees had the following tasks: Decision on the purchase and sale of real property Employment of the civil servants and employees required for the administration Provision of expert opinions on the organisation of university teaching and suggestions in this respect Management of other university business, insofar as they have not been transferred to other bodies and do not relate to teaching and research State supervision was exercised by a State Commissioner appointed by the Minister for Trade and Industry. By the II. Ordinance of 29 October 1932 on the Simplification and Reduction of the Price of Administration (Pr. G.S., p. 333), the state supervision of the Handelshochschule Berlin was transferred to the then Prussian Minister of Science, Art and Popular Education, who fulfilled his duties and rights in the same manner as before. By decision of the Prussian State Ministry of 1 Nov. 1935, the Handelshochschule was given the new name "Wirtschaftshochschule Berlin". At the same time, the right to award doctorates was extended to include "Dr.rer.Pol.". The economics lessons at the University of Berlin and the former Berlin School of Economics were merged. (20) This form of organisation was maintained until 1945. In winter semester 1943/44 the teaching staff consisted of 14 full professors 1 extraordinary professor 5 honorary professors 4 lecturers 53 assistant lecturers 7 lecturers (21) There were 12 institutes and seminars. Institute of Finance Economics Seminar Insurance Science Seminar Institute of Industrial Business Administration Business Economics Seminars Legal Seminars Archive for Trade and Business Law Political Seminar Geographical Seminar Physical-Chemical Seminar Business Education Seminar British-American Seminar Outside the Association of the University, the following academic institutions were also available: 1st Berlin Institute of Higher Education for Insurance Science, which, in addition to the Business School, was also available to the University and the Technical University 2nd Institute for Office Economics 3rd Berlin Institute of Higher Education for Insurance Science, which was also available to the University and the Technical University 2nd Institute for Office Economics 3rd Institute of Business Administration, which was available to the University and the Technical University of BerlinResearch Centre for Trade at the Reichskuratorium für Wirtschaftlichkeit 4.From the very beginning, the members of the teaching staff included well-known bourgeois scholars who had trained a completely different generation of executives in business and administration, such as Professors Bernhard: (Georg) Volkswirtschaft Binz: Chemie Bonn: Economics Eltzbacher: Law Eulenburg: Economics Heilfron: Law Hellauer: Commercial Science Jastrow: Political Science Marten: Physics Mellerowicz: Business Administration Nicklisch: Business Administration Preuß: Law Schücking: Law Sombart: Political Science Tiessen: Geography Valentin: Politics Wegener: Geography During the years 1933-1945 also typical representatives of the fascist ideology and representatives of the German monopoly capital worked, like the professors Weber: Jurisprudence (today leading member of the NPD, professor in Göttingen, in the brown book of the GDR registers) Hettlage: (today professor in Mainz, state secretary, member of the high authority of the European community for coal and steel, in the brown book of the GDR registers) v. Arnim: Rector of the Technische Hochschule Berlin, SA-Gruppenführer Reithinger: Head of the Economics Department of IG-Farben, Berlin NW 7 Registratur- und Bestandsgeschichte Registraturverhältnisse: In the course of organizing and recording the holdings, it was established that the existing file units must have been kept in a central registry. There is a continuous signing of the hand-stitched files (Roman numerals I - XIX), whereby small Latin letters were used in addition to the subdivision. A registration scheme was not available, so that it was not possible to determine which criteria formed the basis for the formation of the individual groups. In the course of the office reform, the conversion to a file registration system took place early (approx. 1920). New signatures - also Roman numerals I - XVII - with subdivision (Arabic numerals), e.g. II I - were used. There are file directories from the years 1933 and 1936. Subsequently, 17 main groups had been formed, subdivided according to need with Arabic numerals. It can be seen from the remaining parts of the registry that from 1940 onwards only Arabic numerals were used to identify the file units. Registry directories could not be determined. It must be assumed that most of these files were destroyed by the effects of war. Access, completeness, cassation: The transfer of the holdings, which were located in the building of the former business school, since 1946 Faculty of Economics of the Humboldt University, took place in 2 stages. The part stored on the floor was added to the archive in 1964, the one in the cellar in 1967. In March 1970 a remainder of approx. 2 running metres was found in a cellar of the building. The collection also included about 7000 student personal files, which were stored alphabetically. With regard to the completeness of the holdings, it should be noted that, following a comparison with the list of files from 1936 on the standing file registry of 635 files established since 1920, only 170 files remain. However, it should be noted that the files formed after 1 October 1936 do not appear in the register, so that an exact determination is not possible. There are also no directories of the previous files kept since 1906. The student personnel files seem to have been almost completely handed down. It is assumed that a large proportion of the files were destroyed as a result of the building damage caused by an air raid in February 1945. With the takeover of the files of the business school, at the same time about 200 files of the board of trustees of the business school were added to the archive, which were handed over to the city archive of Greater Berlin for reasons of responsibility. The only thing that was collected for the purpose of researching the history of the business school was completely worthless file units, such as vouchers, lists, announcements and manuscripts of the lecture timetables, which can only be regarded as preparation material for the printed lecture timetables. Archival processing: The traditional registry order could not be used as a basis for organizing the holdings. The majority of the file titles have also been reformulated. 12 main groups with the corresponding subgroups were formed and the file units were classified accordingly. 1.Constitution and management of the university 2.Teaching and training 3.Award of academic degrees 4.Teaching staff 5.Relations with domestic and foreign universities, colleges and other scientific institutions 6.Public activities of the commercial college (business school) 7.Associations and associations 8.Disciplinary matters 9.Social support for students 10.Libraries 11.Household and finance 12.Assets of the business school A subject and name register facilitate the user's work on the holdings.

The Industrieverband Schneidwaren und Bestecke (IVSB) was formed by the merger of the Fachverband Schneidwarenindustrie (FSI), founded in Solingen in 1946, and the Gesamtverband Besteck-Industrie (GBI), founded in Wiesbaden in 1966, on May 4, 1971. The IVSB was integrated into the structure of the commercial economy as a federal trade association within the Wirtschaftsverband Eisen Blech Metallindustrie im BDI (Iron Sheet Metal Industry Association). In 2002 the company merged with the Verband Haushalts-, Küchen- und Tafelgeräte to form the Industrieverband Schneid- und Haushaltswaren (IVSH). The local manufacturers' associations of the cutlery industry can be regarded as historical forerunners of the trade association of the cutlery industry. After a strike on 13 May 1891 the association of all factory owners in Solingen was founded. Initially, it included the Tafelmesserfabrikantenverein, the Scherenfabrikantenverein, the Taschen- und Federmesserfabrikantenverein and the Gabelfabrikantenverein. After the renaming to Verband der Fabrikantenvereine Solingen on 4 May 1900, the fifth member was the razor manufacturer association. Outside of this umbrella organization stood the Waffenfabrikantenverein and the various clubs for the owners of the fights. After 27 July 1903 they organised themselves as sub-associations in the newly formed association of employers in the Solingen district. This local employers' umbrella organisation was open to all branches of industry, in contrast to the Association of Manufacturers' Associations Solingen, which was limited to the cutlery industry and changed its name again to the Association of Manufacturers' Associations Solingen in 1907. Since 1909, Dr. Hornung has managed both the AGV's and the "Verband's" business. In 1911, the membership of the two associations was demarcated, and the AGV transferred the steel goods companies to the Solinger Fabrikantenvereine association. This personal union in the management of the two trade associations existed until 1926. On 12 April 1922, the local trade associations were reorganised according to economic, technical and socio-political criteria with the founding of the Employers' Association of the Upper District of Solingen. The new AGV acted primarily as a local collective bargaining partner, no longer taking on any trade association tasks. In addition to the AGV, the Solinger Fabrikantenvereine association and the Solinger Schlägereibesitzervereine association continued to exist as independent economic organisations under the umbrella of the Eisen Stahlwaren-Industriebund (ESTI), founded on 14.6.1919 as a "representative of the entire iron and steel industry in the organisation of the Reichsverband der Deutschen Industrie". The ESTI with its headquarters in Elberfeld was active in the Bergisch-Märkischen region (Wuppertal, Remscheid, Solingen, Velbert, Hagen). With the ESTI, Solingen entered into a relationship with the umbrella organisation of the iron processing industry and thus with the RDI. AGV and ESTI worked so closely together in Solingen that they maintained joint management with two managing directors of equal rank, Dr. Oskar Bachteler and Dr. Willi Großmann. The smashing of the trade unions on 2 May 1933 was followed from 19 May 1933 by the fixing of collective wages by the "trustee of labour". The Solingen Employers' Association was also suddenly without function as a collective bargaining partner and was finally dissolved by the National Socialists on 22 January 1934. The mergers of the companies now concentrated on the specialist organisation. The umbrella organisation in Solingen was the ESTI with its three main professional associations, the Solingen Steelware Manufacturers Association, the Solingen Racketeering Owners Associations Association and the Razor Blade Industry Association (founded on 3.10.1925, 1930 Association of Razor Blade Manufacturers). The ESTI from Solingen was finally integrated into the DAF under the name "Fachgruppe Schneidwarenindustrie der Wirtschaftsgruppe Eisen- Stahl und Blechwaren" and functioned as an economic policy organisation covering the entire cutlery industry of the German Reich. Gustav Grünwald from Argenta (Düsseldorf) was the first head of the Cutlery and Cutlery Division based in Solingen. He was followed by Franz Buchenau in Heinr. Böker and Dr. Walter Müller in Pränafawerke. After the end of the Second World War, on 6 November 1945, the EBM Economic Association received permission from the occupying forces to reestablish itself. Under the chairmanship of Kurt Peres the Fachvereinigung Schneidwarenindustrie was formed. The first domicile was the former Gräfrather Rathaus, then the Fachvereinigung found its accommodation on Albrechtstraße. From 1.4. 1946 the new name was Fachverband Schneidwarenindustrie. Dr. Bachteler was able to resume his full-time activities for the association on 1 November 1946. In 1953 Bachteler became managing director of the AGV at the same time. Dr. Oskar Bachteler died on 17.3.1961. During this period, Paul Ad. Schmidt in company Müller

D. Walther (Friedrich Walther Paul) Wolff (1) (2), was born on 9 December 1870 in Neuwerk, later a district of Mönchengladbach, as the son of Friedrich Wolff, a teacher at the orphanage, and his wife Bertha. After attending Mönchengladbach grammar school, Wolff studied theology at the universities of Greifswald, Marburg and Halle from 1889 to 1893. He passed his theological examinations in Koblenz in April 1893 and October 1894. Wolff was vicar in Lobberich and did his auxiliary service in Mönchengladbach. In May 1895, he was ordained in Otzenrath and took up the pastorate in one of the oldest Reformed parishes on the Lower Rhine. In 1901, Wolff was elected to the 2nd pastorate of the Protestant parish of Aachen. This position, which he held until his death, gave him the opportunity to develop his theological and organisational skills and his literary ambitions. In 1901, Wolff founded the 'Evangelische Gemeindeblatt für Aachen und Burtscheid' (since 1916: 'Evangelisches Gemeindeblatt für Aachen und Umgebung') (3). Through his regular contributions, he provided his congregation with a wealth of spiritual inspiration and sharpened the Protestant conscience of the diaspora community through his many essays on the history and culture of Protestantism. On Wolff's initiative, a branch of the Evangelical Federation was founded in Aachen in 1904, which around 7% of the parishioners joined in 1906. From 1905 onwards, he endeavoured to found a Rhenish-Westphalian group of the Volkskirchliche Evangelische Vereinigung - the middle party - of which he became deputy chairman in 1906. He published the organ 'Die Evangelische Gemeinde' (4) from 1909 and edited it himself until issue 5 of vol. 11.1919/20. In each issue, he wrote the 'Chronicle' as a review of church life, and almost every issue contained a major article on a key issue of church work. At the 34th Rhenish Provincial Synod in Barmen, Wolff was elected President on 6 March 1919. Wolff initiated the election of a committee tasked with revising the Rhenish-Westphalian church constitution. In 1920, he was elected a member of the General Synodal Board at an extraordinary meeting of the Prussian General Synod. Wolff was particularly active in working on the draft constitution. He endeavoured to secure the presbyterial-synodal element the place and influence it deserved in the life of the constituted church. In 1921, the University of Bonn awarded him a doctorate (D. h.c.) on the occasion of the Worms anniversary celebrations. In 1922, Wolff was elected superintendent of the Aachen church district and inaugurated in 1923. Wolff had been a member of the Protestant Church Committee since 1922, and in 1925 the 1st Prussian General Synod of the new style elected him as its vice-president; as such he became deputy chairman of the Senate of the Protestant Church of the Old Prussian Union. In 1929, the General Synod confirmed Wolff in both offices. He had already been re-elected as President by the Rhenish Provincial Synod in 1925. Wolff was involved in all church congresses since 1919, most recently as Vice President. He had a particularly strong influence on the social message of the Bethel Church Congress of 1924. In 1924, he was the initiator of the first Rhenish Church Congress in Cologne, which was followed by others in Essen in 1926 and Saarbrücken in 1930. Shortly before his death, the Faculty of Law at the University of Berlin awarded him an honorary doctorate in 1931 for his services in bringing about the church treaty between the Protestant regional churches of Prussia and the Prussian state government, and President Wolff died in Aachen on 26 August 1931. His death also caused great consternation outside the Protestant Rhineland, which was reflected in obituaries in numerous newspapers (5). The estate was purchased in 1980 by Wolff's grandson, the pastor Paul-Gerhard van Spankeren, who worked in Westphalia. The documents were roughly pre-organised and placed in archive folders. The collection mainly contains an extensive collection of sermons, beginning during his studies in 1892 and ending in 1927. From Wolff's last years in office, only the sermons, devotions and sermons for special occasions have survived. The chronology of the sermons first had to be established. In the first few years, the sermons are written out in full, but from around 1900 onwards they are mostly written down as theses. Speeches on various occasions are documented; the imperial speeches and sermons show the national character of Wolff and his time. The second focus is on the lectures and manuscripts, which have been organised according to subject. Reference has already been made above to the collection of obituaries. The leather volume with Wolff's calligraphic sayings was given to the archive by Mr van Spankeren in 1994 (No. 49). Only fragments of Wolff's correspondence have survived (No. 46) The collection was catalogued in October 2006 and comprises 50 archive units. It covers the period from 1892 to 1931 as well as memorial contributions in 1941, 1956 and 1961. Only a few duplicates were collected. Some printed publications by and about Wolff are included in the holdings of the archive library, and reference should be made to fonds 8 SL 010 (Wolff Collection), which contains the collection of material relating to Hans Helmich's essay in the 'Monatsheften' 1987 (see References). Copies of Wolff's articles in the two church newspapers are also available here.Ulrich Dühr, 07.11.2006(1) The biographical outline in this introduction is a revised version of the text that Edgar Reitenbach prefixed to the Findbuch of fonds 8 SL 010 (Walther Wolff Collection) in 1987.(2) Walther Wolff's personal file is located in fonds 1 OB 009 (Personalakten der Pfarrer) W 062, 1892-1931(3) Vols. 1917 and 1919-1922 in the archive library under ZK 003(4) In the archive library under ZK 010(5) See nos. 47 and 48 of this fonds

Wolff participated in all Church Days since 1919, most recently as Vice President. Especially the social message of the Betheler Kirchentag of 1924 is strongly influenced by him. In 1924 he was the initiator of the first Rheinischer Kirchentag in Cologne, followed by others in Essen in 1926 and in Saarbrücken in 1930.
