  1. history of tradition: On 24 March 1976 the Linden-Museum Stuttgart handed over the scientific estate of the Africa-traveller Karl Mauch (born on 7 May 1837 in Stetten im Remstal, died on 4 April 1875 in Blaubeuren), comprising a total of 0.2 metres, to the Main State Archives for safekeeping. The museum connected with the surrender the condition, also approved by the two sponsors of the museum, the Ministry of Culture Baden-Württemberg and the city of Stuttgart, that the documents of the estate be restored, as far as necessary, in the Main State Archive Stuttgart. The most valuable parts of the scientifically significant estate are the diaries, the sketchbooks and the drawings of Karl Mauch. In addition to the records and other documents left behind by the well-known African explorer, the collection also contains materials from the estate of his brother Joseph B. Mauch. The biographer Karl Mauchs, the secondary school teacher E. Mager from Schwäbisch Gmünd, has taken care of the written legacy of the Africa researcher and provided for the erection of a memorial stone at the seminar building in Schwäbisch Gmünd. The estate was arranged and registered in the course of 1976 by the aspiring inspector Rolf Reiff under the direction of the undersigned. A restoration of the part of the written material that is endangered in its state of preservation is planned for the next few years. 2nd biography: Mauch, Karl (07.05.1837 - 04.04.1875), teacher, African explorer and cartographer; traveled in the years 1865-1872 mainly Transvaal and Matabeleland, discovered the ruins of Zimbabwe in 1871; cartographer of South Africa 3rd content: Contains: Diaries and sketchbooks; notes on geology, botany, zoology, and deposit geography; drawings and maps of his expeditions; Mauch's surveying instruments; documents of his brother Joseph B's estate.

  1. biography: Karl Joseph Wilhelm Florestan Gero Crescentius Prince of Urach Count of Württemberg was born on 15 February 1865 in Ulm as the younger son of Wilhelm (I.) Duke of Urach and Florestine Duchess of Urach née Princess of Monaco (1); the prince attended the primary school and the Jesuit grammar school in Monaco (2) together with his older brother Wilhelm (II.) Duke of Urach. In 1877 he moved to the Jesuit educational institution of Our Lady Stella matutina in Feldkirch. After a further change of school in 1881, he graduated from the Karlsgymnasium in Stuttgart in 1883 and studied for two semesters at the University of Munich (3) from 1883 to 1884. There he attended lectures in metaphysics and history of Greek philosophy with the professor of philosophy and later Bavarian Prime Minister and German Chancellor Georg Graf von Hertling (1843-1919) as well as lectures in political science with the journalist and writer Professor Wilhelm Heinrich Riehl (1823-1897). 1883 he was appointed second lieutenant à la suite of the Ulan regiment King Karl (1st Württ.) No. 19 (4). In April 1886 Prince Karl entered the active service of this regiment, but had to leave the active service due to illness. In March 1887, the prince retired as an officer à la suite from the active service of the regiment. In the following years the prince was granted the usual promotions for a member of the House of Württemberg under the position à la suite of the regiment: in 1887 he was appointed prime lieutenant, in 1891 cavalry master, in 1899 cavalry major and in 1906 lieutenant colonel. From 1884, Karl Fürst von Urach travelled extensively (5): from 1884 to 1886 he travelled South America, visiting the Cordilleras and studying the Indian tribes on the upper reaches of the Amazon (6). He later handed over the ethnological collection he acquired during his journey to the Linden Museum in Stuttgart. Also in the time after 1887 he often stayed in Italy, Greece, in the Balkans, in Egypt, where he owned real estate in Heliopolis near Cairo (7), and in the Ottoman Empire. In 1891 he took part in an expedition to Spitsbergen (8), in 1893 the prince travelled to the USA(9). The few documents on the trip to the USA (especially letters of recommendation) (10) that are preserved in the present inventory suggest that this trip was also used for ethnological studies of Indian tribes. So he learned Turkish, Arabic and Persian. Last but not least, between 1893 and 1925 the prince had Arab rooms (11) built into his palace on Neckarstraße in Stuttgart, which he decorated with furniture, carvings, tiles, works made of plaster stucco, carpets and other antiques from the Orient. During the First World War, Prince Karl was finally able to use his language skills and the knowledge he had acquired about this region during his many journeys to the Orient for his work as a German liaison officer in the Ottoman Empire (12). He performed this function between 1916 and 1917, when Prince Karl took over several honorary offices. He was president of the Württemberg group of the German Colonial Society (13) and member of the Württemberg regional association of the German Fleet Association (14). He supported the Society for the Promotion of German Settlements in Palestine (15). He also supported the work of the airship designer Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin by subscribing to shares in the company for the promotion of airship travel (16).Karl Fürst von Urach was awarded numerous orders in the course of his life (17): in 1883 the Prince received the Monegasque Order of Saint Charles, in 1889 the Grand Cross of the Persian Order of the Sun and Lions (18), in 1897 the Ottoman Order of First Class, in 1899 the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Medal. In 1910 he was awarded the Prussian Red Eagle Order. In 1916 he received the Wilhelmskreuz with swords and crown, one year later the royal Hungarian Order of Saint Stephen and the Iron Cross 2nd class. Karl Fürst von Urach died on 5 December 1925 in Stuttgart. He was buried in the Catholic section of the crypt of the castle church Ludwigsburg. 2. to the order and distortion of the stock:: Together with the Archive of the Dukes and Princes of Urach Grafen von Württemberg, the GU 120 collection was deposited in the Main State Archives in 1987. There, the archives of the House of Urach form the GU series of inventories within the inventory classification (tectonics). During the reorganization of the archive by Wolfgang Schmierer, Director of the Archive, the documents on Karl Fürst von Urach were given the signature GU 120, and since the materials were in a poor state of order, the units of registration had to be formed for the most part first. Where it made sense, the existing units were retained. During the indexing work, extensive documents were removed from the GU 120 holdings and assigned in particular to the GU 96 (Miscellaneous and Unclear), GU 100 (Foreign Archives and Other Collections), GU 107 (Florestine Duchess of Urach), GU 117 (Wilhelm (II.) Duke of Urach) and GU 202 (Bertha Freiin von Biegeleben) holdings. Moreover, it cannot be ruled out that further material of the provenance of Karl Fürst von Urach may be found in the as yet unlisted holdings of the House of Urach. by far the largest part of the holdings consists of the extensive correspondence of the Prince (category 2), above all with his mother (category 2.1.1) with his brother Wilhelm and his family (category 2.1.2) as well as with Bertha von Biegeleben (category 2.1.5). The latter was the court lady of his mother Florestine and a close confidante of the prince. In addition, correspondence with representatives of the German and European ruling and former ruling princely houses can be found in the holdings (Section 2.5). Karl Fürst von Urach also corresponded with numerous public figures (section 2.7), including scholars. Almost all correspondence is so-called unilateral correspondence, that is, only the letters of the correspondence partner are found in the existing stock. If there are isolated letters or drafts of letters from the Reigning Prince to the respective addressee, this is expressly mentioned in the title recording. Usually these are letters of the prince returned to the prince or his family afterwards. It should also be noted that Prince Karl did not make any copies of his correspondence. The correspondences can be regarded as an interesting source for the history of everyday life and mentality of the nobility. They show the manifold contacts which the prince maintained with members of other noble families. They also certainly offer details of the Prince's numerous journeys. However, it was not possible to index the contents of the correspondence due to the time and effort involved. Unfortunately, the correspondences and correspondence series contained in this collection sometimes have smaller gaps. It is not possible at the present time to answer the question of whether the previously unlisted holdings of the archives of the House of Urach still contain correspondence of the prince. Besides the correspondence, the extensive collections of photos and photographs (category 10) form the second largest part of the holdings in terms of the number of title recordings. Of particular interest are the photos and photo albums with photos from the Prince's numerous travels to South America, Egypt, the Ottoman Empire and the Balkans (Section 10.2.2). There are also photos taken during the aforementioned activity of the prince as a liaison officer in the Ottoman Empire during the First World War (section 10.2.4). Prince Karl's interest in Islamic (Arabic) art is also reflected in the numerous photographs of buildings and artworks of Islamic art, which are combined in section 10.3. Of the other materials preserved in the present collection, the Prince's manuscripts with literary and art-historical texts and a memorandum on the political reorganization of Europe by Germany in the First World War should also be mentioned, as well as interesting documents on the associations and societies in which the Prince was active and in which he was active. In an appendix (column 16) photos, an album and seal from the possession of the Wera Duchess of Württemberg née Grand Duchess of Russia are united, which after the death of the Duchess were handed over by her daughter Olga Prinzessin zu Schaumburg-Lippe to Karl Fürst von Urach.In addition, correspondences of the brother of Karl Fürst von Urach, Wilhelm (II.) Duke of Urach, to Charlemagne's estate, to the Arab rooms and to a newspaper article about the princes were added to the collection (19). Since these materials refer to Karl Fürst von Urach, the classification into the present holdings seemed to be reasonable. As expected, documents on Karl Fürst von Urach are also available in other holdings of the archives of the House of Urach. In particular the holdings GU 99 (photo albums and collections), GU 107 (Florestine Herzogin von Urach née Prinzessin von Monaco), GU 117 (Wilhelm (II.) Herzog von Urach) and GU 202 (Bertha von Biegeleben) are to be mentioned here. the archives of the holdings may only be inspected with the prior permission of the chief of the House of Urach. the holdings GU 120 were catalogued by the undersigned from autumn 2004 to April 2005.

Authority history: In 1882, a number of merchants, business representatives and other dignitaries from the Stuttgart region founded the "Württembergischer Verein für Handelsgeographie und Förderung Deutscher Interessen im Ausland" (Württemberg Association for Commercial Geography and Promotion of German Interests Abroad). The objective was "the promotion of geography, economy and culture". Within a few years, a rapidly growing collection of ethnological objects from all over the world was created in addition to other association activities, such as an extensive lecture programme. The collection was initially housed in rented premises on the gallery of the Gewerbehalle and was officially declared a museum of ethnology based on scientific principles on 1 June 1889 (guest book in Bü 1209).After many years of planning, the search for a suitable building site (the discussion included locations such as the site of the former Neue Lusthaus and the burnt-out Hoftheater), the provision of the necessary funds and a major architectural competition, a neoclassical museum building was erected at today's Hegelplatz/Herdweg site according to the plans of the young Stuttgart architect Eser. The main operator of the new building project, the chairman of the association (since 1890) and generous sponsor Count Karl von Linden, died in January 1910 after the laying of the foundation stone of a serious illness. It was decided, in appreciation of his merits, to name the new ethnological museum "Linden-Museum". On 28 May 1911 the opening ceremony took place in the presence of the Württemberg royal couple. In addition to the association with board, committee and numerous members, a scientific director now joined the museum. The first museum director was the naval doctor and ethnologist Dr. Augustin Krämer. He was assisted by Heinrich Fischer, who had been recruited by Count von Linden at the turn of the century, former employee of the Natural History Cabinet and from 1932 director of the museum, as the editor of the collection accesses. The following four phases can be discerned in the eventful development of the museum: 1882 to 1911 (from the foundation of the association to the occupation of the museum's purpose-built building),1911 to 1945 (until the end of World War II with extensive war damage),1945 to 1973 (from reconstruction to the transition to the public sector),Since 1973 (State Museum of Ethnology).100 years of existence were celebrated with a large museum festival on 28 May 2011. The history of the association and the museum, from its beginnings to the present day, is documented in detail by numerous publications and anniversary commemorations (including Bü 392 and 903) as well as by the written documents and pictorial documents recorded in the classification points of Group 2.5 Special Survey. Further details can therefore be omitted at this point. Inventory history: Since the Verein für Handelsgeographie and the resulting Linden-Museum were privately initiated institutions, the creation of files did not follow the usual administrative procedures. The core of the tradition are the extensive correspondences of the chairman Count Karl von Linden and the long-time treasurer and chairman Theodor Wanner, as well as other personalities of the association committee and - connected with the opening of the museum building - the scientific director. The personal commitment of Count von Linden in maintaining worldwide contacts with German colonial officials, colonial officers, overseas merchants, captains and missionaries is reflected in the written tradition and even more in the rapidly growing ethnological collections. The later scientific correspondence documents the networking of the museum with other renowned institutions and persons as well as the extremely large activities within the framework of lecture programmes and exhibition projects. Subject files, various publications, extensive collections of newspaper clippings, memorabilia and pictorial documents round off the collection. Due to the close interlinking of association and museum, no separation of provenance was made, only the internal name "Vereinangelegenheiten" for parts of the tradition was retained. The collection also contains documents on the Daughter Institute for Foreign Relations founded in 1915/1916 on the initiative of Theodor Wanner and on the German Colonial Museum. Processing report: The handover of the holdings EL 232 Linden-Museum (Staatliches Museum für Völkerkunde) took place in three stages:Access to files 1993/043, now Bü 1-347 with gaps:When the work was taken over by the undersigned, this part had already been taken out of the files under the direction of Dr. Nicole Bickhoff by the archivist Hans-Jürgen Seifried, captured in the titles and provisionally packed. The formation of a finding aid was still pending. About 150 files were cashed (mainly receipts, invoice duplicates for Tribus yearbooks, daily statistics for in-house exhibitions). Since no old principles of order were recognizable, the partial holdings were classified internally in the archives according to correspondence series and fact files.file access 2011/032 (box 1-96), now Bü 348-666, and file access 2011/039 (box 97-178), now Bü 667-959:These deliveries were packed in boxes and sorted according to a museum-internal four-part chronological order scheme (cf. above history of authorities). This was largely adopted in the archival classification. The AZs mostly related within a classification point were indicated in the headings. File Access 2012/012 (List Number 1-98), now Books 960-1064, and File Access 2012/035 (List Number 102-252), now Books 1065-1226:This delivery layer consisted mainly of binders with leaflet covers, as well as registrants, repertories, cash books and member directories in tape form.
