Fonds Landesarchiv Baden-Württemberg, Abt. Staatsarchiv Wertheim, R-Lit. D - Home and family items

The StAWt-R Lit. D holdings mainly contain documents on the family but also on the house history of the Princes of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg and their predecessors. Several estates can be found here (e.g. Prince Karl Heinrich (1834-1921) and Prince Alois (1871-1952)), but they must not hide the fact that there are also estates which appear as such in tectonics (e.g. StAWt-R NL 2 Estate Prince Maximilian Karl (1656-1718) or StAWt-R NL 8 Estate Prince Karl (1904-1990)). It also contains extensive documents from the period of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss (1802) and Mediatisierung (1806), i.e. political events in Germany that directly affected the house. The indexing of the stock StAWt-R Lit. D took place in the years 2014 to 2018. Originally it was a mixed collection, to which the princely archives, some of which were occupied by full-time staff, assigned most of the files from the Löwenstein family's household, presumably due to a lack of distinctive tectonics. However, the inventory also clearly shows that the boundary between official matters and purely family matters has been seen differently over time and has been fluid. The collection and also the handwritten repertory were kept according to Numerus currens. It contains the most diverse provenances, which in this case, however, were not regarded as relevant for the order. The classification rather follows the chronological sequence of the generations of the Counts of Wertheim and the House of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort and Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg (since 1813) according to the actual purpose of the collection. With this classification, the inventory was subdivided into subject areas for the first time. For a better overview of the family relationships, copies from the European genealogical tables were added to the printout of the database. Some parts have been classified in other inventories. Their whereabouts can be reconstructed at any time. Conversely, archival records scattered in various places, which clearly belonged together and which the user would most likely look for in the holdings of house and family items, were united here. The signatures with tradition were carefully corrected or retained in their partly redundant form, since the latter in particular allow assignment to a specific package within the inventory. As an example, the units with No. 675 I No. xy, which belong to the estate of Prince Karl Heinrich zu Löwenstein, should be mentioned. At this point we would like to point out that the written material, which originated after the engraving year 1870, remains the property of the Princely House of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rosenberg. Its use was regulated in a deposit agreement and is governed by the statutory provisions. The current stock comprises 1649 title recordings in 28 linear metres.
