The history of the authorities: Within the Ministry of the Interior established in Stuttgart in 1806, Department IV was responsible for local government matters. In the course of the dissolution of the four district governments (established in 1817/18), in June 1924 the Ministerial Department for District and Corporation Administration was established as a middle instance affiliated to the Ministry of the Interior, which existed until 1934 parallel to Department IV within the Ministry (cf. holdings E 180 I-VII in the State Archives Ludwigsburg). After 1934 the ministerial department was only a department of the interior ministry. In 1945, responsibilities were divided regionally between the newly established state administrations of the interior in Stuttgart and Tübingen. From 1952, the newly established regional councils of Stuttgart and Tübingen were given the same responsibilities to a large extent as had previously been assigned to the ministerial department as the central authority of the interior administration. The eleven to thirteen business units or Division IV's papers essentially covered the main areas of responsibility: church and corporate matters:Membership of local authorities, changes in regional, district and municipal authorities, national emblems, municipal names; representation and administration of official bodies and municipalities, supervision of administration, visits, state supervisory municipalities; legal relationships of civil servants and employees of official bodies and municipalities, salaries, pensions, accident and health care;Supervision of the asset management of municipalities and official bodies, budget matters, foundations, accounting; municipal uses, real community rights; publications of municipalities and official bodies; savings banks; taxation, finance statistics; water matters general and individual, division into three ("technical") business divisions or The three regionally defined districts I, II and III have departments for the organisation and distribution of responsibilities. The files E 151/01 (Chancellery Directorate of the Ministry of the Interior) Bü 284, 285, 289, 753, 774 contain information on the organisation and distribution of responsibilities. Processor's report: The records of Department IV - Municipal Affairs of the Ministry of the Interior were previously available in the partial inventories: E 151 d I : Handover register from 1956 with a special register from 1966 for the files concerning the State contributions to the water supply of the municipalities (both now part of inventory E 151/41);E 151 d II : Handover register of 1958 (now part of inventory E 151/41) with a special register of the files of the Ministry of the Interior on municipal finance statistics received via the State Statistical Office (now inventory E 151/44);E 151 d III: Handover register from 1981, partly with files, which have entered the Main State Archives via the Regierungspräsidium (now part of the holdings E 151/41);E 151 d IV : Documents concerning the Sparkassenwesen (now part of the stock E 151/41), received with the files of the stock E 151 d III; a special list of personnel files of the municipal and corporate officials of 1966 (now stock E 151/42) and a special list of job files of the local heads of 1966 (now stock E 151/43). as the overview shows, the files concerning the state contributions to the municipal water supply were included in the files of the same subject from the delivery of 1958 (AZ. IV 2499), arranged according to counties, arranged in the same subject from the delivery of 1958 (AZ. IV 2499) (AZ. IV 2499). These documents comprise 2.8 linear metres and can now be found under the signature E 151/41 Bü 1110-1144. The provisionally formed part of the savings banks sector was also dissolved. The file group was added to the main holdings E 151/41, and a separation of provenance was also carried out between files of the Ministry of the Interior (4.6 linear metres) and files of the Ministerial Department for District and Corporation Administration (2.9 linear metres). m) ClassificationSince it was no longer possible to determine a file plan of the municipal department of the Ministry of the Interior from the time before 1945, the order and classification of the holdings was established on the basis of the file numbers assigned throughout (from department number IV and a file number of up to four digits, recorded in the Findbuch as the first preliminary signature). This procedure proved to be useful insofar as after 1945 the files continued to be filed according to this registry plan and were thus also transferred to the Main State Archives in 1956, 1958, 1962 and 1981 ( cf. the holdings EA 2/401-404 ).The structure of the holdings attempts a reconstruction of the file plan. In addition, some older files still have a box/special signature, which was not taken into account, however, as a presignature in the recording. The few tufts on school matters within the Ministry of the Interior are, however, to be found in fonds E 151/02 (Ministry of the Interior Department II). The order of tufts of files within individual series according to districts is based on the administrative division according to the Law on the Division of the Land of 25 April 1938 ( Reg.Bl. für Württemberg vom 3.5.1938). In general, provenance separations as well as a separation of pre- and post-files (cut-off date 8 May 1945) were made in the indexing, provided that it was not only a matter of individual documents whose removal from the present set of files would not have made sense (see list following the preface).Larger cassations were not carried out, only duplicates, other duplicates and a few tufts were sorted out (0.4 m). In November 1990, Dorothee Breucker, an archivist, began the cataloguing of the holdings. She was in charge of the main part of the order and indexing work (indexing of tufts 1 to 997 and 1101 to 1256 as well as separation of provenances and pre- and post-production work). Within the framework of the practical training of participants of the 26th and 27th semesters of the Second World War, the Commission has developed a new training programme. The students of the second Fachhochschule course worked on the drawing with Daniela Deckwart (Bü 1110-1144, drawing and classification), Nicole Röck (Bü 1257-1265), Thomas Schreiner (Bü 1266-1268), 1317-1330), Katja Hoffmann (Bü 1269-1301, 1315, 1316), Edith Holzer (Bü 1302a-1314, 1285a), Armin Braun (Bü 1331-1356, 1358, 1359), Andrea Rößler (Bü 1360-1379), Hartmut Obst (Bü 1380-1391). Working student Ulrike Kirchberger (Bü 1392-1413) and Archivoberinspektorin Sabine Schnell (Bü 1424-1557) finished the indexing; the latter also took over the final editing of the find book. Archivist Wilhelmine Kovacs took care of the demetallization of the files as well as smaller repairs and the packing of the tufts in archive boxes.The title entries were recorded on MIDETIT forms, the find book was created with the help of the MIDOSA program package of the Baden-Württemberg State Archive Administration. The E 151/41 collection now contains 48.5 linear metres of files with a running time of (1814) 1820-1945, with a few follow-up files up to 1955 (1965). The majority of the files date from around 1900. the partial holdings E 151/42 comprise 1.7 linear metres, E 151/43 2.3 linear metres and E 151/44 14 linear metres of written records.
