D. Walther (Friedrich Walther Paul) Wolff (1) (2), was born on 09 December 1870 in Neuwerk, a later district of Mönchengladbach, as the son of the teacher at the orphanage, Friedrich Wolff, and his wife Bertha. After attending the Gymnasium Mönchengladbach, Wolff studied theology at the universities of Greifswald, Marburg and Halle from 1889 to 1893. In April 1893 and October 1894 he passed his theological examinations in Koblenz. Wolff was vicar in Lobberich and performed his relief service in Mönchengladbach. In May 1895 he was ordained in Otzenrath and took over the rectorate in one of the oldest Reformed parishes on the Lower Rhine. In 1901 Wolff was elected 2nd pastor of the Evangelical Church of Aachen. This office, which he held until his death, gave him the opportunity to develop his theological and organisational strength and 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 gave his congregation a wealth of spiritual inspiration and sharpened the Protestant conscience of the diaspora community through numerous essays on the history and culture of Protestantism. On Wolff's initiative a branch association of the Protestant Federation was founded in Aachen in 1904, to which about 7 members of the congregation joined as early as 1906. Since 1905 he tried to found a Rhine-Westphalian group of the Volkskirchliche Evangelische Vereinigung - the Mittelpartei - which he took over as deputy chairman in 1906. He published the organ "Die Evangelische Gemeinde" (4) from 1909 onwards and headed it himself until issue 5 of vol. 11.1919/20. In each issue he wrote the "Chronicle" as a review of the life of the church, almost each issue contained a larger contribution on a major question of church work. At the 34th Rheinische Provinzialsynode in Barmen, Wolff was elected president on 6 March 1919. Wolff arranged for the election of a committee which was entrusted with the revision of the Rhenish-Westphalian Church Constitution. In 1920, at an extraordinary meeting of the Prussian General Synod, he was elected a member of the General Synod Executive Committee. Wolff was particularly actively involved in the drafting of the constitution. His endeavour was to ensure that the presbyterial-synodal element would have the place and influence it deserved in the life of the church. In 1921 he received his doctorate from Bonn University on the occasion of the Worms anniversary celebration. In 1922 Wolff was elected Superintendent of the Aachen church district and in 1923 he was appointed to his office. Since 1922 Wolff belonged to the Protestant Church Committee, in 1925 the 1st Prussian General Synod of New Style elected him vice-president; as such he became vice-chairman of the Senate of the Protestant Church of the Old Prussian Union. In 1929, the General Synod confirmed Wolff in both offices. Already in 1925 he had been re-elected as President by the Rhenish Provincial Synod. 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. Shortly before his death in 1931, the Faculty of Law of the University of Berlin awarded him an honorary doctorate for his services to the conclusion of the Church Treaty between the Protestant State Churches of Prussia and the Prussian State Government. President Wolff died on 26 August 1931 in Aachen. His death also caused great consternation outside the Protestant Rhineland, which was reflected in the obituaries of numerous newspapers (5). The estate was purchased in 1980 by Wolff's grandson, the Westphalian pastor Paul-Gerhard van Spankeren. The written material had been roughly pre-arranged and placed in archive folders. The collection contains above all an extensive collection of sermons, beginning during his studies in 1892 to 1927. From Wolff's last years in office, only casualties, devotions and sermons on special occasions have survived. The chronology of the sermons had to be established first. The sermons are formulated in the first years, since about 1900 mostly written down as theses. Speeches are documented on various occasions; the imperial speeches and sermons show the national character of Wolff and his time. The second focus is on lectures and manuscripts, which are arranged according to subject matter. The collection of obituaries has already been referred to above. The leather volume with Wolff's calligraphic pronouncements was handed over to the archive by Mr van Spankeren in 1994 (No. 49). Wolff's correspondence is only preserved in fragments (No. 46). the collection was recorded in October 2006 and comprises 50 archive units. The duration covers 1892 to 1931 as well as memorial contributions 1941, 1956 and 1961. Only a few double copies were collected. Some publications by and about Wolff are included in the holdings of the archive library, e.g. the holdings 8 SL 010 (Wolff Collection), which contains the collection of materials for Hans Helmich's essay in the "Monatshefte" 1987 (see literature references).

General Superintendent Ernst Stoltenhoff The office of General Superintendent was created by cabinet order of 7 February 1828. It was attached to the Consistory of the Evangelical Church of the Rhine Province. As representative of the state church regiment and in contrast to the synodally elected president of the Provincial Synod, the Superintendent General exercised the spiritual direction as pastor pastorumaus.Ernst Stoltenhoff (1879-1953) was first parish priest in Mülheim/Ruhr and Essen. In 1923 he was appointed to the Evangelical High Council of the Church in Berlin as a consistorial head, where he worked as a personnel officer and established numerous ecumenical contacts. In 1928, as successor to D. Klingemann, he was appointed General Superintendent of the Rhineland with the then official seat in Koblenz. Imperial Bishop Ludwig Müller, in his capacity as Prussian State Bishop, ordered Stoltenhoff's dismissal on April 1, 1934. With the approval of the newly appointed Reich Minister Kerrl, he was recalled to his office. The second term of office lasted from 25 May 1936 until his retirement on 1 February 1949. The inventory documents all areas of the General Superintendent's business activities from the final phase of the Wimar Republic, e.g. material on the so-called Devaheim scandal. During the National Socialist era, Stoltenhoff washed his way between the Consistory, Church committees and the various groups of the Confessing Church. His memoirs were published under the title Die gute Hand Gottes in 1990.

Tradition: The collection from the possession of Dr. Ernst Scheffelt (Steinen, then Badenweiler) comprises lacquer seals, paper seals and stamp impressions, especially from the second half of the 19th century. The regional focus is on Müllheim and Badenweiler. An overarching collection concept is not discernible. The collection was transferred to the General State Archives in 1963. The seal list was drawn up by Ms Gisela Schenck.Karlsruhe, October 2011Joachim Brüser
Tradition and content: The collection of seals Kretzdorn was started in 1863 by Arthur von Winzer, H. Kretzdorn received it as a gift. In 1970 it was acquired from the Kretzdorn estate by the General State Archives. The seal list was produced by Mrs. Gisela Schenck The collection comprises seal impressions primarily from Baden and Württemberg state, court and military authorities as well as from private individuals in one volume Karlruhe, October 2011Joachim Brüser
History of the Inventory Designer: The available documents were compiled by Bruno Schumacher, a German employee of the US Document Center in Berlin (BDC). After the collection was handed over to the Federal Archives, large parts were incorporated into their holdings. Inventory description: With the return of files from the Berlin Document Center in Sept./Dec. 1962, the Schumacher Collection was transferred to the Federal Archives in Koblenz. This collection had been collected by a German employee of the BDC, Bruno Schumacher, in years of work. It contains printed publications as well as files taken from the various provenance and collection holdings kept in the BDC, whereby the selection criterion was the importance, the documentation value, of the material. Archivische Bewertung und Erschließung Schumacher intended to create a material collection of the most important documents on the history of the Nazi era for his hand use and thus to create a key position for himself in the BDC. In selecting and recombining the material, he did not take into account provenance, registry or volume connections, but arranged everything according to a very roughly applied pertinence principle. His memory alone served as a finding aid for the more than 500 volumes. When he retired in 1960, the collection was recorded in lists and an "order scheme" was formed. The aim of the Federal Archives in Koblenz was to dissolve the Schumacher Collection and to assign the documents to the various holdings. In 1963, the official party publications of the Schumacher Collection were incorporated into ZSg. 3 (official party publications). The documents of Bavarian provenance were removed in 1966 and handed over to the Bavarian Main State Archives. Over the years, smaller parts of the collection have been incorporated into the relevant archives and provenance holdings. For example, KPD material from the Schumacher Collection was transferred to the NS 26 Main Archive of the NSDAP (1967). Starting in 2004, the "Research" collection of the former BDC and the subsequent integration of the documents into the Schumacher Collection, now kept in the Federal Archive in Berlin-Lichterfelde, was processed by the project group NS Archive of the MfS. Among other things, it was established here that the indexing information of the archival records recorded at R 187 is partly identical with that of the respective file numbers at "Research". Obvious duplicates and copies have been collected. "Novelties" have been assigned to the Schumacher Collection.

Of the original 250 objects that Funk donated, the collection, with around 120 ethnographica and around 60 photographs of the islands of Melanesia and Polynesia, represents the majority of the ethnographic holdings of the Regional Museum, with a focus on the Samoa Islands and the Bismarck Archipelago. Apart from a few made models, these are original objects that were used in people's everyday lives. They mark a time when contact with Europeans has intensified. Especially the Malanggan masks from the province New Ireland in Papua New Guinea as well as the Tapa (fabrics from bark bast) are to be emphasized due to their state of preservation and their quality. This collection is to be seen for conservation reasons only in the context of special exhibitions. literature: Maubach, Peter: Dr. Bernhard Funk (1844-1911) : a Neubrandenburger in the South Seas.
