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

History of the Inventory Designer: The Reich Treasury Office, which emerged from the Finance Department (until 1877: Finance Office) of the Reich Chancellery in 1879, became the Reich Ministry of Finance (RFM) in 1919. The RFM initially took over the structure and the responsibilities transferred to the Reich Treasury for the Reich budget, currency, customs duties and excise duties. Only the administration of the Reich's own property, the exploitation of the Reich's property, above all by the army and navy, and the financial supervision of industrial enterprises and the Reich's holdings in industrial enterprises were temporarily transferred to the Reich Treasury, which was newly founded in March 1919 and dissolved again in 1923. The scope of duties of the Reich Ministry of Finance was considerably extended in the course of the Erzberger financial reform of 1919/1920, mainly through responsibility for property and transport taxes. The Länder had to leave their tax apparatus to the Reich, so that the RFM, as the head of the Reich Finance Administration, now had a uniform official substructure in the form of regional tax offices and local tax offices and main customs offices. Since the dissolution of the Reich Ministry for Reconstruction (1924), the RFM has also had comprehensive competence for handling the consequences of war. The RFM experienced a further increase in its tasks in connection with the abolition of the sovereignty of the Länder in 1934, as a result of which the finance ministries of the Länder were placed under the supervision of the RFM. Only the Prussian Ministry of Finance was able to retain its independence and was not incorporated into the RFM until September 1944 and only formally. Inventory description: Inventory history Until 1936, most of the files of the RFM that had been created until 1929 as well as numerous files of the "Neue Registratur" from 1930 onwards, including the household files of the Wehrmacht, the SS and the concentration camps, had already been handed over to the Reichsarchiv in Potsdam. Since only part of the war-related relocations were included, large parts of these files were destroyed during the air raid on Potsdam in April 1945, including almost all secret files after 1925 as well as numerous files of the new registry, in particular on official and pension matters, employee and worker questions. Losses have also occurred in the files stored by the Reichsarchiv. The household records of the Wehrmacht, the SS and the concentration camps mentioned above are considered destroyed today. Further losses of files have occurred due to the destruction of files in the authority itself and at the places of removal. This applies in particular to the files for the treatment of anti-grass roots and anti-rich, Jewish and confiscated assets of the "Eylert" and "Maedel" units of the RFM, which were moved to Sigmaringen. These files were most likely burned shortly before the end of the war together with the documents of the Sigmaringen tax office. After the end of the war, depending on the place of relocation, parts of the records were transferred to both the Federal Archive in Koblenz and the then German Central Archive in Potsdam (DZA). In the 1960s, the Federal Archives in Koblenz took over from the Federal Ministry of Finance, above all, the files of the registries running until 1945, which were initially kept by the "Restverwaltung" and from 1946 by the "Archiv des ehemaligen Reichsfinanzministeriums". The files of the Reich Archives that had been transferred to the Potsdam DZA were mainly the files of the Reich Archives in the Sraßfurt and Schönebeck potash shafts, as well as confiscated documents returned from the Soviet Union in 1955. Until 1990, the entire collection of the Reich Ministry of Finance was held in roughly equal parts in the Central State Archives of the GDR and in the Federal Archives in Koblenz. In both archives the tradition was recorded successively and recorded in provisional finding aids (indexes and card indexes). Due to the different overdelivery focal points of both sub-stocks, the respective classification of the sub-stocks was carried out according to different criteria. While the Potsdam part of the stock with a focus on traditions was structured according to the departmental structure until 1930, the Koblenz structure followed the uniform file plan of the Reich Finance Administration introduced in 1929. In addition, the records kept as holdings 21.01 in the Central State Archives of the GDR were divided into two signature sequences, depending on the time of their creation. A-signatures received files with provenance Reichsschatzamt created until 1919, B-signatures the files of the RFM. When the two parts of the records were merged in 1990, the different signature sequences had to be merged in order to clearly identify the individual files. The signatures of the Koblenz files were retained, the old A-signatures with 40000 and the B-signatures with 50000 were added. Since the year 2000, the two traditional parts of the book have been gradually merged into online sub-find books, starting with the budget files of the specialist departments. Content characterization: The overdelivery of the RFM more or less comprehensively covers the entire range of tasks of the authority with the following overdelivery focal points: - Preparation of the Reich's budget, in particular files on the preparation of the budget of the specialist departments, on the Army, Navy and Colonial budgets, on the debt management of the Reich as well as on Reich guarantees, Reich participations, export credits, on banks, currency and foreign exchange matters - Organisational and administrative matters of the Reich Finance Administration, Real Estate and Reich Construction Administration, in particular v.a. files for the accommodation of the offices of the Reich Finance Administration, the Reich Real Estate Register as well as files for the utilization of military real-estate - customs duties, in particular files on customs legislation, on the handling of the customs tariff for individual goods and on trade relations with foreign countries - Reich taxes and excise duties, in particular Files on income and sales tax, on the Reich Valuation Act and Bodenschätzungsgesetz as well as on excise duties on spirits, tobacco, sugar and sweetener - state taxes, state and municipal finances, financial equalisation - settlement of the First World War, in particular reparations, Saar and occupation matters - armaments financing and war damage of both world wars The inventory includes approx. 4000 personnel files mainly of employees of the higher service in the RFM (approx. 600) and in the subordinate area State of development: Indexes Temporary indexes for Koblenz partial tradition Online index of household files A - Ar (2007) Online index of household files B - Lu (2006) Online index of household files F (2007/2008) Publication index of household files PM-Su (2005) Publication index of household files Ve-WM (2003) Citation method: BArch, R 2/...

History of the Inventor: See Infantry Brigades (PH 10 I) Inventory description: The infantry was the main weapon of the army. It included the foot soldiers. The smallest independent tactical unit of the infantry was the battalion, which usually consisted of four companies of three trains each. As a rule, three battalions formed a regiment, two regiments a brigade. The battalions of hunters and marksmen occupied a special position within the infantry. Characterisation of content: The present tradition consists primarily of war diaries (often only parts or copies) that have been preserved by chance, individual battle reports, troop orders, location maps or sketches. In addition, additional copies of copies of war diaries of German troops kept in the Washington National Archives were added to the holdings. In 1994 a few documents of individual infantry regiments were taken from the military archives of the GDR. State of development: Findbuch Vorarchivische Ordnung: The files of the Prussian foot troops were largely destroyed in the fire at the Potsdam Army Archives in 1945. Only a few fragments of files have been handed down and archived. In 1994, some fragments of files from the military archives of the former GDR were added to the remaining files kept in the Freiburg Military Archives.
