History of authorities and holdingsThe collections (J holdings) of the Main State Archives are not a self-contained group of holdings. Some of them are seldom or only occasionally, some of them frequently growing. Compared to the overview published in print in 1974 (Veröffentlichungen der Staatlichen Archivverwaltung Baden-Württemberg Vol. 30: Übersicht über die Bestände des Haupt- staatsarchivs. Collections (J holdings), edited by Paul Sauer with the collaboration of Eberhard Gönner, Heinz Bardua and Luise Pfeifle, Stuttgart 1974), the number of collections has increased from 88 at that time to 180 today, although some have resulted from the splitting of larger holdings into partial holdings (especially J 53). The total volume of the holdings has more than doubled in the meantime. The present overview represents a version of the previous brief overviews as of 1 April 2000, and at the same time goes beyond them. The online inventory overview provides more detailed information on the finding aids (in addition to the type of finding aid, also the processor, year of completion, page number). Descriptions characterising the content of the holdings have been inserted as far as possible. Individual descriptions of holdings that have not been changed, or hardly changed at all, could be taken from the printed overview of 1974 (especially J 1-J 15). The majority, however, require extensive revision or revision or initial version. Corresponding descriptions that are currently missing are to be created and incorporated into the online overview step by step, as far as the respective development status permits. 999 metres of occupied shelf space (metres of shelf space) were occupied within the J Group on the cut-off date by written and printed records. In addition, there are extensive stocks which are stored very differently in drawing and card index cabinets, in cartons and boxes and can therefore not be measured by shelf meters but by numbers of units. This includes seal collections (approx. 42000), coat of arms collections (approx. 60000), slides of own archives (approx. 11400), microfiches of files of the American military government (OMGUS, approx. 11000), aerial photographs of Baden-Württemberg (approx. 19000 flights to the state of Baden-Württemberg, approx. 5000 in the Kirschfeld Collection), wall attacks and posters (approx. 6400) and paper image collections (approx. 2300).

Inhalt und Sonstiges Im Jahre 1800 heiratete Herzog Wilhelm von Württemberg (1761-1830), der Sohn Herzog Friedrich Eugens und Bruder König Friedrichs I. von Württemberg, Wilhelmine Freiin von Tunderfeld-Rhodis (1777-1822), die Tochter des Hauptmanns Karl August Freiherr von Tunderfeld-Rhodis und der Theresia geb. Freiin Schilling von Cannstatt. Diese Ehe war aufgrund der Hausgesetze des Hauses Württemberg nicht standesgemäß, weshalb Herzog Wilhelm am 1. August 1801 für seine Nachkommen auf die Thronfolge in Württemberg verzichtete. Herzog Friedrich II. von Württemberg, der spätere König Friedrich I. von Württemberg, erkannte andererseits die Ehe seines Bruders mit Wilhelmine Freiin von Tunderfeld-Rhodis als "vollwirkende Ehe zur rechten Hand" (Zoepfl) an, und Wilhelmine von Tunderfeld-Rhodis erhielt nach ihrer Vermählung den Titel einer Prinzessin von Württemberg. Außerdem verfügte Herzog Friedrich II., dass die Nachkommen aus dieser Ehe den Titel Graf bzw. Gräfin von Württemberg führen sollen. Somit war eine neue Nebenlinie des Hauses Württemberg entstanden. Herzog Wilhelm von Württemberg hatte zwei Söhne, die beide als Offiziere im württembergischen Militär Karriere machten. Der ältere Sohn Graf Alexander (1801-1844) trat auch als Dichter hervor und hielt engen Kontakt zu den Dichtern Justinus Kerner, Ludwig Uhland, Nikolaus Lenau und Gustav Schwab. Der jüngere Sohn Wilhelm (1810-1869) brachte es im württembergischen Militär bis zum General der Infanterie. Neben seinen militärischen Aufgaben nahm er auch künstlerische und wissenschaftliche Interessen wahr. Außerdem baute er Schloss Lichtenstein bei Reutlingen, das bis zur Gegenwart im Besitz des Hauses Urach ist. Am 28. Mai 1867 wurde Graf Wilhelm von König Karl von Württemberg zum Herzog von Urach erhoben. Der Titel eines Herzogs von Urach ging jeweils an den ältesten Sohn des Herzogs über. Die nachgeborenen Nachkommen des Herzogs erhielten am 10. Januar 1868 die Titel Fürst bzw. Fürstin von Urach mit dem bisherigen Namen Graf bzw. Gräfin von Württemberg. Die Mitglieder des Hauses Urach, denen die Anrede Durchlaucht zusteht, hatten bei Hof den Rang vor allen Standesherrn im Königreich, waren aber im Unterschied zu diesen nicht in der Ersten Kammer des württembergischen Landtages vertreten. Außerdem wurde am 30. November 1867 von König Karl ein Fideikommiss für das Haus Urach errichtet. In konfessioneller Hinsicht war das Haus Urach nach dem Übertritt des Grafen Wilhelm im Jahre 1867 zum katholischen Glauben stark katholisch geprägt. Dieses konfessionelle Element wurde noch durch die Heiraten von Mitgliedern der Familie Urach mit Angehörigen katholischer Hochadelsfamilien - wie etwa der Häuser Wittelsbach, Leuchtenberg, Grimaldi, Thun-Hohenstein, Altieri, Liechtenstein, Waldburg-Zeil, Thurn und Taxis, Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schillingsfürst - verstärkt. Das Archiv der Herzöge und Fürsten von Urach Grafen von Württemberg, das bisher auf dem Familiensitz Schloss Lichtenstein verwahrt worden war, gelangte im Jahr 1987 als Depositum unter Eigentumsvorbehalt ins Hauptstaatsarchiv. Innerhalb der Tektonik (Beständegliederung) des Hauptstaatsarchivs erhielten die Bestände des Archivs der Herzöge und Fürsten von Urach - in Anlehnung an die Beständeserie Württembergisches Hausarchiv (G-Bestände) - die Bestandssignaturen GU. Die Unterlagen des Familienarchivs waren bei der Übernahme ungeordnet, so dass erst eine Neuordnung vorgenommen werden musste. Dr. Wolfgang Schmierer, der frühere Leiter des Hauptstaatsarchivs, hat im Jahre 1995 eine erste grobe Vorordnung des Familienarchivs vorgenommen. Er untergliederte dabei das Adelsarchiv in personenbezogene Bestände (Bestände GU 101ff.) und in allgemeine Bestände (GU1-99). Letztere beinhalten die Grundstücks- und Vermögensverwaltung (GU 1ff.), Karten und Pläne (GU 97), Rechnungen (GU 98) sowie Fotoalben und -sammlungen (GU 99). Zudem wurde ein Bestand für Vermischtes und Ungeklärtes (GU 96) gebildet. Die Gliederung der personenbezogenen Bestände b||zw. Nachlässe der einzelnen Familienmitglieder orientiert sich sehr eng an dem Beitrag Wolfgang Schmierers im Biographischen Lexikon des Hauses Württemberg (siehe Literaturangaben). Bei der groben Vorordnung des Familienarchives konnten bei einzelnen Familienmitgliedern keine Nachlassbestände bzw. Archivalien zu den Personen ermittelt werden. Im Einzelnen handelt es sich um folgende Personen: Eberhard Graf von Württemberg (1833-1896), Wilhelmine (Wilma) Gräfin von Württemberg (1834-1910), Pauline Gräfin von Wuthenau-Hohenthurm (1836-1911), Karl Alexander Graf von Württemberg (1839-1876), Eugenie Gräfin von Württemberg (1848-1867), Elisabeth Fürstin von Urach geb. Theurer (1899-1988), Rosemary Fürstin von Urach Gräfin von Württemberg geb. Blackadder (1901-1975), Ute Fürstin von Urach Gräfin von Württemberg geb. Waldschmidt (1922-1984), Iniga Fürstin von Urach Gräfin von Württemberg geb. Prinzessin von Thurn und Taxis (geb. 1925). Daher wurden an den entsprechenden Stellen in der Beständeübersicht Lücken gelassen. So kommt es, dass die Bestandssignaturen GU 109-112, GU 115, GU 125, GU 130, GU 131 und GU 133 nicht belegt sind. Die Lücken wurden für den Fall eingerichtet, dass sich bei der Erschließung des Familienarchives doch noch Material zu den betreffenden Personen findet. Auch kann nicht ausgeschlossen werden, dass Unterlagen zu den genannten Personen abgegeben werden. Zu einzelnen Persönlichkeiten sind sowohl in der GU-Beständerserie als auch in der G-Serie (Württembergisches Hausarchiv) Bestände vorhanden: Im Einzelnen sind dies: Wilhelm Herzog von Württemberg (GU 101, G 253), Wilhelmine Prinzessin von Württemberg (GU 102, G 254), Alexander Graf von Württemberg (GU 103, G 290), Wilhelm (I.) Herzog von Urach (GU 105, G 302), Florestine Herzogin von Urach (GU 107, G 303) und Marie Gräfin von Taubenheim (GU 108, G 306). Innerhalb der Rubrik der personenbezogenen Bestände bilden die drei Bestände GU 201 bis GU 203 eine Sondergruppe. Bei diesen handelt es sich um personenbezogene Bestände bzw. Nachlässe von Personen, die zwar nicht zum Haus Urach gehören, aber enge Kontakte zu diesem unterhielten. Der Bestand GU 201 umfasst beispielsweise Unterlagen von Prälat Konrad Kümmel (1848-1936), der lange Zeit Schriftleiter des Katholischen Sonntagsblattes und des Deutschen Volksblattes war. Die Bestände GU 202 und GU 203 beziehen sich auf Bertha von Biegeleben und Anna Freifrau Hiller von Gärtringen geb. von Salviati, die beide als Hofdamen der Florestine Herzogin von Urach bzw. Amalie Herzogin von Urach im Dienste des Hauses Urach standen. Bisher sind die personenbezogenen Bestände GU 101 (Wilhelm Herzog von Württemberg), GU 102 (Wilhelmine Prinzessin von Württemberg geb. Freiin von Tunderfeld-Rhodis), GU 103 (Alexander Graf von Württemberg), GU 104 (Helene Baronin du Bourget geb. Gräfin Festetics von Tolna verw. Gräfin von Württemberg), GU 106 (Theodolinde Gräfin von Württemberg geb. Prinzessin von Leuchtenberg), GU 107 (Florestine Herzogin von Urach geb. Prinzessin von Monaco) und GU 117 (Herzog Wilhelm (II.) von Württemberg) durch Archivrepertorien und Online-Findmittel erschlossen. Es ist geplant, die übrigen personenbezogenen Bestände in den nächsten Jahren sukzessive zu erschließen, und die Repertorien als Online-Findmittel ebenso ins Internet zu stellen. Die Repertorien zu den Beständen Wilhelm (I.) Herzog von Urach (GU 105), Marie Gräfin von Taubenheim (GU 108) und Fotoalben und -sammlungen (GU 99) sind zur Zeit noch in Arbeit. Bei den allgemeinen, nicht personenbezogenen Beständen (GU 1-99), die bisher mit Ausnahme des Bestandes GU 99 noch nicht erschlossen sind, wurde auf eine inhaltliche Beschreibung der Bestände verzichtet. Ebenso wurden die bisher noch unverzeichneten personenbezogenen Bestände inhaltlich nicht näher beschrieben. Bei den letztgenannten Beständen sind lediglich die Lebensdaten und sonstige biografische Daten zu den Personen ermittelt worden. Grundlage hierfür waren v. a. die Artikel von Wolfgan||g Schmierer in Das Haus Württemberg. Aufgrund der Bedeutung der Personen und des Umfangs und Inhalts der Bestände verdienen v. a. die Bestände GU 105 (Herzog Wilhelm (I.) von Württemberg), GU 107 (Florestine Herzogin von Urach) und GU 117 (Wilhelm (II.) Herzog von Urach) Erwähnung. Herzog Wilhelm (II.) von Urach (1864-1928) machte nicht nur als Offizier Karriere - er befehligte während des Ersten Weltkrieges als General die 26. Infanterie-Division und später das Generalkommando z. b. V. Nr. 64 -, sondern war auch mehrfach als Thronfolgekandidat für Monaco, Albanien, Polen, Elsass-Lothringen und Litauen im Gespräch. Bezüglich des Inhalts der genannten Bestände sei jeweils auf die einzelnen Bestandsbeschreibungen verwiesen. Für die Einsichtnahme in die GU-Bestände ist die Genehmigung des Chefs des Hauses Urach erforderlich. Die Benutzer sind zur Wahrung der Personenrechte verpflichtet.

Origin and tradition: The Grand Ducal photo collection from the reign of Frederick I and his wife Luise probably originated from gifts, orders and acquisitions (e.g. while travelling). It is not yet possible to say to what extent there was a real will to collect, but the collection was carefully preserved, partly noted in inventory lists and probably moved from Karlsruhe Castle to the New Palace in Baden-Baden in 1919. There, even after the death of Grand Duchess Luise, he occasionally grew. When the castle inventory of 1995 was dissolved, the State of Baden-Württemberg was able to acquire the entire photo collection for the General State Archives; a selection of family photos and some magnificent volumes remained the property of the House of Baden. He also owns an essential part of the photo collection of the last Grand Duke, Frederick II, who fortunately was not kept in the Freiburg Palais after 1919. Content: The medium of photography was highly valued and consciously used at the Baden court as a modern form of princely representation. The distribution of portrait series to the public can be reconstructed and the long reign of Frederick I enabled the presence of the "father of the country" or the "parents of the country", as can be found among the Hohenzollern, the Wittelsbachers or the Habsburgs. Documents from these photo commissions to the court photographers make up a not insignificant part of the collection. The proportion of gifts and souvenir pictures received after anniversaries, celebrations, manoeuvres, exhibitions, inaugurations, etc. is greater; the handing over of portraits of foreign visitors also belonged to this group, especially in the context of the summer stays in Baden-Baden. One of the most important gifts are probably the works with which photographers wanted to attract attention, acquire the title of court photographer or receive further commissions; in this way, works from the early days of photography came into the Grand Duke's possession: signed prints by Charles Clifford, the Upper Italian and Southwest German series by Jakob August Lorent in 60x80 format already admired at the time of their creation (Lorent also left to the Grand Duke a detailed description of his recording and development process) or, to name regionally effective photographers, photographs by Richard/Heidelberg, Tillman-Matter/Mannheim, Th. shoe man

Inhalt und Sonstiges Die Q-Bestände umfassen Nachlässe von Politikern und Personen des öffentlichen Lebens, Verbands- und Familienarchive. Die gedruckte Beständeübersicht (Übersicht über die Bestände des Hauptstaatsarchivs Stuttgart, Sonderbestände, S.217ff.) gibt den Stand von 1980 wieder. Inzwischen sind die Bestände Q 1/22 - Q 1/61, Q 2/14 - Q 2/24 und Q 3/15 -Q 3/49 zugewachsen; bei den 1980 beschriebenen Beständen haben sich teilweise Umfänge und Erschließungsstand erheblich geändert, in Einzelfällen sind auch neue Bestände zwischen die vorhandenen geschoben worden. Die Signierung innerhalb der 3 Rubriken (Politische Nachlässe, Sonstige Nachlässe, Verbands- und Familienarchive) erfolgt nach numerus currens des Zugangs ohne weitere systematische Untergliederung. Die Q-Beständegruppe umfaßt zum Stichtag 1.4.2000 135 Bestände im Umfang von 531,8 lfd. m. Davon sind 81 Bestände mit 245,4 lfd. m (46,1 %) sehr gut erschlossen (Kennziffer 1). (Vergleichsdaten zum 1.11.1994: 111 Bestände im Umfang von 463,2 lfd. m, davon 53 Bestände mit 145,9 lfd. m (31,5 %) sehr gut erschlossen).

Behörden- und Bestandsgeschichte Das Hauptstaatsarchiv Stuttgart verwahrt die Unterlagen der Obersten Landesbehörden des Königreichs bzw. des Volksstaats Württemberg von 1806 bis 1945. Dieses aus zentraler Verwaltungstätigkeit während nahezu anderthalb Jahrhunderten erwachsene Schriftgut ist von hervorragendem, zum Teil weit über die Grenzen des ehemaligen Landes Württemberg hinausreichendem geschichtlichem Quellenwert. Es dokumentiert die staatliche Entwicklung Württembergs von der Napoleonischen Zeit über die Bismarcksche Reichsgründung bis in die 12 Jahre der nationalsozialistischen Gewaltherrschaft, vermittelt aber auch wesentliche Aufschlüsse über die in ständigem Wandel begriffenen kulturellen, sozialen und wirtschaftlichen Verhältnisse im deutschen Südwesten während des 19. und in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts. Die Unterlagen sind bereits für viele wissenschaftliche Untersuchungen genutzt worden. Sie gehören aber nach wie vor zu den am häufigsten eingesehenen Beständen des Hauptstaatsarchivs. Das gewaltige Quellenreservoir, das sie für die historische Forschung jeder Spezialrichtung zur Verfügung stellen (über 2.800 Regalmeter) wird kaum je voll ausgeschöpft werden können. Die Aktenüberlieferung auf Ministerialebene für das 19. Jahrhundert ist, abgesehen vom Ministerium des Kirchen- und Schulwesens, bei dem für die Zeit nach 1850 größere Dokumentationslücken zu verzeichnen sind, ausgesprochen günstig. Neben den Fachministerien der auswärtigen Angelegenheiten, des Innern, des Kirchen- und Schulwesens, der Finanzen, des Kriegswesens sowie der Justiz verfügten auch das Königliche Kabinett und der bis 1911 bestehende Geheime Rat über umfassende Registraturen, die im wesentlichen erhalten sind. Auch die Unterlagen des zur Beratung allgemeiner Staatsangelegenheiten am 1. Juli 1876 geschaffenen Staatsministeriums, das einen Teil der bis dahin dem Geheimen Rat obliegenden Funktionen übernahm, sind für die verschiedensten Bereiche der Staatsführung im letzten Viertel des 19. Jahrhunderts eine außerordentlich wichtige Informationsquelle. Weniger erfreulich ist die archivische Dokumentation der württembergischen Zentralbehörden für den Zeitraum 1900-1945. Der Zweite Weltkrieg hat hier schwere, unersetzliche Verluste verursacht. Ohne größere Einbußen haben lediglich die Registraturen des Staatsministeriums und des Innenministeriums den Krieg überstanden. Die nach 1900 erwachsenen Unterlagen des Kultministeriums und des Finanzministeriums sind nahezu vollständig vernichtet. Die erhaltenen Akten des Justizministeriums, das Ende 1934 im Zuge der "Verreichlichung" aufgehoben wurde, reichen kaum über den militärisch-politischen Zusammenbruch von 1918 hinweg; für die Zeit der Weimarer Republik und die Anfänge des NS-Staats liegen so gut wie keine Unterlagen dieses Ministeriums mehr vor. Bis auf geringe Restbestände ist auch das Schriftgut des Arbeitsministeriums und des Ernährungsministeriums, die von 1918 bis 1926 bestanden, sowie des 1926 an ihre Stelle getretenen Wirtschaftsministeriums verbrannt. Der wirtschaftliche Wiederaufbau nach 1918, die Maßnahmen Württembergs zur Eindämmung der Arbeitslosigkeit während der Weltwirtschaftskrise und die forcierte Aufrüstung nach 1933 lassen sich daher, was die württembergischen Zentralbehörden betrifft, quellenmäßig nur unzureichend belegen. Einen gewissen Ersatz für das im Zweiten Weltkrieg unwiederbringlich zerstörte Registraturgut der württembergischen Ministerien bieten die in den Staatsarchiven Ludwigsburg und Sigmaringen verwahrten Bestände von Landesober- und -mittelbehörden, Gerichten und unteren Verwaltungsdienststellen. Keine nennenswerten Verluste durch Kriegseinwirkung haben die zu Beginn des Zweiten Weltkriegs bereits im Hauptstaatsarchiv bzw. im Heeresarchiv Stuttgart befindlichen Unterlagen von Zentralbehörden erlitten, die nach dem Ende der Monarchie in Württemberg aufgelöst worden waren: Königliches Kabinett, Ministerium der auswärtigen Angelegenheiten und Kriegsministerium. Auch die Akten der||württembergischen Gesandtschaften, von denen nach 1900 nur noch die in Berlin und München bestanden, sind größtenteils erhalten; dasselbe gilt für die Unterlagen der Dienststellen des württembergischen Heeres aus der Zeit bis 1871. An sonstigen in der Zeit zwischen 1806 und 1945 erwachsenen wichtigen Beständen, die im Hauptstaatsarchiv verwahrt werden, sind zu nennen: die Gesetze (1806-1945), die neueren Staatsverträge (1806-1931), die Verträge Württembergs mit seinen Standesherrn und sonstigen Adligen (1806-1920), die Verträge des Staates mit dem Königshaus bzw. der Hofdomänenkammer (1807-1927) sowie die entsprechenden Verträge mit Gemeinden und Privaten (1806-1920). Erhalten sind auch die wertvollen Unterlagen der Landesausschüsse der Arbeiter- und Bauernräte sowie der Soldatenräte aus der Zeit nach der Novemberrevolution (1918-1920). Die Registratur des NS-Reichsstatthalters in Württemberg (1933-1945) wurde bei Kriegsende teils durch Bedienstete der Reichsstatthalterei selbst, teils durch amerikanische Truppen vernichtet; der Forschung steht nur noch ein kleiner Restbestand zur Verfügung. Seit dem Erscheinen der 1. Auflage dieser Übersicht im Jahr 1975 sind an den überlieferten Unterlagen aus der Zeit von 1806 bis 1945 umfassende Ordnungs- und Erschließungsarbeiten geleistet worden. Insbesondere die Bestände des Ministeriums der auswärtigen Angelegenheiten, des Staatsministeriums, des Kriegsministeriums, des Kultministeriums sowie die jüngere Überlieferung des Innenministeriums (nach 1922) wurden systematisch gegliedert und großenteils durch neu erarbeitete, maschinenschriftliche Findbücher erschlossen. Rund 60 % aller Unterlagen (über 1.600 Regalmeter) sind damit heute für die Forschung optimal benutzbar. Während diese Arbeiten bei den Beständen des Staatsministeriums, des Kriegsministeriums und des Kultusministeriums abgeschlossen sind, wird an der Erschließung der besonders problematisch strukturierten Bestände des Ministeriums der auswärtigen Angelegenheiten noch jahrelang gearbeitet werden müssen. Erst danach sollen auch die älteren, zwar benutzbaren, aber teilweise doch unzureichenden Findmittel für die Bestände des Königlichen Kabinetts, des Geheimen Rats, Teile des Innenministeriums, des Finanz-, Justiz- und des Wirtschaftsministeriums neu erarbeitet werden. Einen Sonderfall stellt der Geschäftsbereich des Kriegsministeriums dar, dessen Bestände einschließlich aller nachgeordneten Dienststellen insgesamt im Hauptstaatsarchiv verwahrt werden. Die Geschichte dieser Bestände und ihrer Erschließung hat eigene Wege genommen. Die Einleitungen zum Kapitel "Kriegsministerium" und den entsprechenden Untergruppen schildern dies und sind deshalb etwas umfangreicher ausgeführt. Die Bestände selbst werden seit Mitte der 1980er Jahre zur Bestandserhaltung systematisch in Archivboxen verpackt, nach und nach sicherungsverfilmt und durch Erstellung von Duplikatfilmen aus der Nutzung im Original herausgenommen.

Description of the holdings: The head of the army archives was the head of archives for the Wehrmacht part of the army with its official seat in Potsdam. The chief of the army archives was in charge of the army archives in Potsdam, Vienna, Munich, Dresden and Stuttgart, the army archives branches in Prague and Gdansk, as well as the representatives in the occupied territories and the Wehrmacht sighting station for prey files. The Chief of the Army Archives was responsible for the recording of files of the High Command of the Wehrmacht, of the High Command of the Army with subordinate offices, of the command authorities, troops, administrative authorities and other institutions of the army (cf. HDv. 30 Correspondence and Business Transactions of the Wehrmacht, Appendix 2). The User Regulations regulated the lending and use of the Army Archives (cf. BArch RH 18/437). After three years of negotiations, the Reich and Prussian Minister of the Interior and the Reich War Minister agreed in September 1936 that the military files should be taken over by the High Command of the Army. On April 1, 1937, the chief of the army archives and the army archives under his command took over the military archives, which since 1919 had been administered by the Reichsarchiv, its branches in Dresden and Stuttgart, and the war archives in Munich. The Chief of the Army Archives was subordinate to the Chief Quartermaster V in the General Staff of the Army until 1942. With the reorientation of the writing of war history, Hitler subordinated the Chief of the Army Archives to the Commissioner of the Führer for Military History, Colonel Scherff, with effect from 1 July 1942. From 1937 to 1942 Friedrich von Rabenau was the chief of the army archives, from 1942 until the end of the war Karl Ruppert, who had been in charge of the Potsdam army archives since 1937. The management of the Heeresarchiv Potsdam and the office of Chief of Army Archives were merged in 1943. Heeresarchiv Potsdam The Heeresarchiv Potsdam was divided into three departments. Department A administered the Brandenburg-Prussian Army Archives, the archives of which ran from the 17th century until the dissolution of the Prussian army in 1920. Department B kept the files of the volunteer formations formed after World War I and of the Reichswehr. Section C was intended for the recording of Wehrmacht files, i.e. from 1935 with the re-establishment of military sovereignty. The departments of the Heeresarchiv Potsdam were divided into subject areas. Other organisational units included the collections, estates, maps and the picture collection. In 1935, the Berlin Department of the Reichsarchiv (especially the Prussian War Ministry after 1867) and the Central Office of Records for War Losses and War Graves were also subordinated to the Heeresarchiv Potsdam. The Heeresarchiv Potsdam continuously took over the war diaries of all command authorities and troops as well as the court files of the field and war courts in the court file collection centre. The file collection centre West in Berlin-Wannsee mainly recorded loot files from various military offices in France. The organisational structure of the Heeresarchiv Potsdam was not uniform and changed several times until 1945. In territorial matters, the Heeresarchiv Potsdam was bound by the instructions of the commander in Wehrkreis III (Berlin). A British air raid on Potsdam on 14 April 1945 hit the service and magazine building of the chief of the army archives and the army archive Potsdam hard. The holdings of the Brandenburg-Prussian Army Archives were almost destroyed. This concerned, among other things, the files of the Prussian military cabinet, the files of the Prussian Ministry of War, the war files of the unification wars and the most important war diaries with attachments from the First World War. The personal records of the Prussian army and the Reichswehr are considered almost completely destroyed. In 1943 the Heeresarchiv Potsdam outsourced the department for the recording of war diaries to Liegnitz in Silesia. At the end of 1944 this branch was moved back to Potsdam. Later, the Heeresarchiv Potsdam outsourced large quantities of its archives. Shortly before the enclosure of Berlin, the war diaries of the Second World War and a few particularly valuable older files were transferred to Blankenburg in the Harz Mountains and to Bad Reichenhall or Kufstein in "two transports of 4-6 railway wagons each" (Poll). The archives in Blankenburg were confiscated by the Western Allies. These were the war diaries of the Army High Commands, the General Commands, the divisions and other army departments as well as parts of older files. The war diaries of top army authorities were burned in Reichenhall and Kufstein on the orders of Scherff, the Führer's representative for military historiography. The destruction of older files, estates and collections in Reichenhall could be prevented by the responsible official. Heeresarchiv Wien The Chief of the Army Archives took over the War Archive Vienna after the integration of Austria in 1938. It was the central military archive of the Austro-Hungarian monarchy until 1918 and of the Republic of Austria until 1938. After the beginning of World War II, the Army Archives Vienna was assigned the Southeast Files Collection Point for the collection of loot files from the Southeast region. In territorial matters the Army Archives Vienna was bound to the instructions of the commander in the military district XVII (Vienna). Today the War Archives are under the control of the Austrian State Archives. Heeresarchiv München After the foundation of the Reichsarchiv in 1919, the Kriegsarchiv München was able to maintain its status as an independent Bavarian archive and was not subordinated to the Reichsarchiv as a branch of the Reichsarchiv, as were the archives in Dresden and Stuttgart. In 1937, the head of the Heeresarchiv took over the Kriegsarchiv München as the Heeresarchiv München. The Army Archives Munich covered the entire Bavarian military tradition from about 1650 to 1920. After the beginning of World War II, the Army Archives Munich was assigned the file collection point South, in particular for the recording of Italian booty files. In territorial matters, the Heeresarchiv München was bound by the instructions of the commander in Wehrkreis VII (Munich). After the Second World War, the Kriegsarchiv München was subordinated to the Bavarian Hauptstaatsarchiv. Despite losses during the war, the majority of the holdings have been preserved and enable source research into military history before 1919 as a replacement for the lost archive of the Potsdam Army Archives. Army Archives Dresden In 1937, the head of the army archives took over the Dresden branch of the Reichsarchiv from the Reichsarchiv as the Dresden Army Archives. This service was responsible for the stocks of the Saxon Army (XII. (I. Royal Saxon) Army Corps and XIX. (II. Royal Saxon Army Corps). The holdings of the Army Archives Dresden covered a period from 1830 - 1919 without a clear demarcation between the holdings and the Main State Archives Dresden. In territorial matters the Army Archives Dresden was bound to the instructions of the commander in the Military District IV (Dresden). During the Anglo-American air raid on Dresden on 13 February 1945, the personal documents of the Saxon army suffered losses. Despite losses during the war, the majority of the holdings have been preserved and enable source research for military history before 1919 as a replacement for the lost archive of the Potsdam Army Archives. The government of the USSR returned the preserved holdings of the Dresden Army Archives to the government of the GDR after the war. Until reunification they were administered in the military archives of the GDR in Potsdam. The Bundesarchiv-Militärarchiv transferred the holdings to the Hauptstaatsarchiv Dresden in 1991. Heeresarchiv Stuttgart The head of the army archives took over the Reichsarchiv branch Stuttgart from the Reichsarchiv in 1937 as Heeresarchiv Stuttgart. This office was responsible for the holdings of the Württemberg Army Corps (XIII (Royal Württemberg Army Corps) and the XIV (Grand Ducal Baden Army Corps). In territorial matters the Heeresarchiv Stuttgart was bound to the instructions of the commander in the Wehrkreis V (Stuttgart). The Heeresarchiv Stuttgart has been preserved without war losses and, as a replacement for the lost records of the Heeresarchiv Potsdam, enables source research for military history before 1919. Today the Heeresarchiv Stuttgart is subordinated to the Hauptstaatsarchiv Stuttgart. The archives of the XIV (Grand Ducal Baden) Army Corps are stored in the General State Archive in Karlsruhe, although the Grand Duchy of Baden from 1871-1919, in contrast to Bavaria, Saxony and Württemberg, did not have a military reserve right. Army Archives Prague Branch The Army Archives Prague branch administered the former Czech army archives and recorded archival material of the Austro-Hungarian army in Bohemia and Moravia. It was in charge of supplementing the official archival material with collections, making the holdings available for use by Wehrmacht offices, and providing information. In territorial matters, the Army Archives Prague branch was bound to the instructions of the Wehrmacht Plenipotentiary at the Reich Protector in Bohemia and Moravia (Wehrkreisbefehlshaber in Böhmen und Mähren). The Gdansk Army Archives Branch The Gdansk Army Archives Branch captured the military archives captured during the Eastern campaigns, in particular the Polish Army Archives. It had to record this material, make it usable and provide information from the files. In territorial matters, the Gdansk Army Archives Branch was bound by the instructions of the Commander of Military District XX (Gdansk). The Commissioner of the Chief of Army Archives at the Military Commander in France The Commissioner of the Chief of Army Archives at the Military Commander in France in Paris had to supervise and evaluate the French army archives. He was to inventory sources on German history, copy documents and collect contemporary historical material. The Commissioner of the Chief of the Army Archives at the Military Commander in Belgium and Northern France The Commissioner of the Chief of the Army Archives at the Military Commander in Belgium and Northern France in Brussels was to evaluate the Belgian Army Archives, enable their use by German agencies, inventorise sources on German history, copy documents and collect material on contemporary history. The Commissioner of the Chief of the Army Archives in Alsace-Lorraine The Commissioner of the Chief of the Army Archives in Alsace-Lorraine in Metz was concerned with the re-registration of German army files, the sighting of French prey files, in particular the Maginot Line, and the provision of files for Wehrmacht offices. The Commissioner of the Chief of Army Archives in the Netherlands The Commissioner of the Chief of Army Archives in the Netherlands, based in The Hague, was responsible for overseeing and evaluating the Dutch army archives. He was to inventory sources on German history, copy documents and collect contemporary historical material. The Commissioner of the Chief of Army Archives at the Commander of the German Forces in Denmark The Commissioner of the Chief of Army Archives at the Commander of the German Forces in Denmark, based in Copenhagen, was to evaluate the Danish Army Archives and collect material on contemporary history. The Commissioner of the Chief of the Army Archives at the Wehrmacht Commander Norway The Commissioner of the Chief of the Army Archives at the Wehrmacht Commander Norway in Oslo took over the management of the Norwegian Army Archives, gave information to German offices and collected contemporary historical material. The Commissioner of the Chief of the Army Archives in Italy The Commissioner of the Chief of the Army Archives in Italy was commissioned, after the fall of Italy and the invasion of the Wehrmacht in Italy in 1943, to secure the files of the Italian army for the writing of war history and for evaluation by Wehrmacht offices. The Commissioner of the Chief of Army Archives in Athens After the occupation of Greece, the Commissioner of the Chief of Army Archives in Athens was responsible for the inspection and safeguarding of the Greek Army records as well as an archival-military inventory. The Commissioner of the Chief of Army Archives in Belgrade The Commissioner of the Chief of Army Archives in Belgrade evaluated the Yugoslavian Army files, provided military replacement services, pension offices and information on resettlement issues. Furthermore, he should collect contemporary historical material. The Commissioner of the Chief of Army Archives at the Wehrmacht Commander Ostland The Commissioner of the Chief of Army Archives at the Wehrmacht Commander Ostland in Riga administered and evaluated the military archives and holdings in Riga, Kaunas, Vilnius. He provided information for the military replacement services and recorded German and Polish army files. Furthermore, he should collect contemporary historical material. The Commissioner of the Chief of Army Archives at the Wehrmacht Commander Ukraine The Commissioner of the Chief of Army Archives at the Wehrmacht Commander Ukraine in Kiev had to evaluate the military archives in Kiev and Kharkov and to record Austrian and Polish military files. He was involved with the collection of contemporary historical material.

The Commissioner of the Chief of Army Archives at the Commander of the Rear Army Area Center The Commissioner of the Chief of Army Archives at the Commander of the Rear Army Area Center had to evaluate the seized military archives and collect historical material. Wehrmacht-Sichtungsstelle für Beuteakten The Wehrmacht-Sichtungsstelle für Beuteakten checked the loot files arriving from the front for their salary and forwarded them to Wehrmacht offices, as far as the files seemed important to them for further warfare. In territorial matters, the Wehrmacht sighting post for loot files was bound to the instructions of the commander in Wehrkreis III (Berlin). Preprovenience: Reichsarchiv Content characterization: The files of the RH 18 holdings Chief of Army Archives contain personal and material files of the "Chief of Army Archives" and almost all offices subordinated to him. In addition, the inventory contains regulations and announcements of the respective territorially competent command authority, e.g. of the military commander in France or of the commander in Wehrkreis VII (Munich). The records of the holdings of the Heeresarchiv Potsdam are assigned to the holdings. This includes finding aids of the registries, delivery directories and finding aids of the army archives. These records provide an overview of the numbers and contents of the former holdings and supplement the lost holdings of the Prussian army with organisational documents. The lists of estates contain biographical information. A special feature of the RH 18 collection are its personnel files, which, in contrast to most other personal documents of the Wehrmacht, have not been removed from the collection. The personnel files were classified by the respective services. The permanent exhibition of the Heeresarchiv Potsdam is virtually reconstructed in the online find book for RH 18, arranged according to display cases or themes. War diaries, orders, military conventions, correspondence between well-known generals and contemporary collection material from 1679 until after the end of the First World War were included in the Archivalienschau by the staff of the Heeresarchiv Potsdam. The documents have been filed thematically in display cases. On the reverse side of the documents the responsible subject area of the Heeresarchiv Potsdam, the holdings and the serial number are indicated. The Federal Archives and Military Archives do not present these archival records in their original form, but in microfiches. A large part of the documents was in stock MSg 101, which was completely re-signed to RH 18. State of development: Online-Findbuch Scope, Explanation: 2482 AE Citation method: BArch, RH 18/...

On the history of the district governments and the district government of Ulm: The district governments were brought into being by the 4th edict of 18 Nov. 1817 at the same time as the Finance Chambers, which were revoked in 1849. Previously, in Württemberg the entire administration had been led by a central government college in addition to the district governorates, which had only little authority and were called bailiwick bailiwicks from 1810 onwards, as well as municipal and district authorities, where sections were formed for the various branches of administration. The division of the country into districts and the creation of provincial colleges was modelled on the French Departmental Constitution of 1789, which also formed the basis for a new administrative organisation in other German states at the beginning of the 18th century. In 1818 it was put into effect, and at the same time the sections of internal administration, medicine, roads, bridges, hydraulic engineering, local government and the commission for communal use and allodification of peasant loans existing in the Ministry of the Interior, as well as the section of crown domains, the section of state accounts, the section of agriculture, the section of state treasuries in the Ministry of Finance, the section of foundations in the Ministry of Church and Education were abolished.After the instruction of Dec. 21. In 1819 the district governments in their district were the supreme authorities for all matters of state administration in the field of regimes (sovereign administration), the state police and the state economy and for the administration of the property of municipalities, official bodies and foundations, insofar as these objects were not assigned to other district or central offices (Chambers of Finance as well as Protestant Consistory, Catholic Church Council, Study Council, Superior Building Council, Provincial Stud Commission, Medical College, Upper Chamber of Accounts, Tax College, Forestry Council and Bergrat).The old 1819 directive was valid for 70 years, it was only replaced by the Decree of 15 Nov 1889 on the organisation of district governments and the course of their business. Their business was handled by a president as a member of the board, administrative councils and collegial assessors as well as the necessary office staff. For technical advice, a county medical council was temporarily assigned to the health service, a construction council for the road, bridge and hydraulic engineering of the municipalities and foundations, a construction council for the construction of the municipalities and foundations, and an expert for the approval of steam boiler plants. Business was transacted partly through collegial consultation and decision-making, partly through the office.In the course of time, a number of important tasks were transferred from the original tasks of the district governments to other middle and central authorities, such as the Ministerial Department for Road and Water Construction (1848), the Central Office for Agriculture (1848), the Central Office for Trade and Commerce (1848), the Corporate Forestry Directorate (1875), the Ministerial Department for Building Construction (1872), the Medical College (1881) and the Higher Insurance Office (1912).After 1870, new tasks arose for the district governments through new Reich and state laws, namely the Industrial Code, the laws on the formation of district poor associations, on the administration of administrative justice, on the representation of Protestant church and Catholic parishes and on the compulsory expropriation of land. In addition, at the beginning of the 20th century, the water law was reorganized, social legislation was expanded, and direct supervision of large and medium-sized cities was assigned to the district governments, which were responsible for the internal state administration - see the following table of contents - either as the decisive or the enacting authority 1. In the course of the dismantling of civil servants and offices, the district governments were replaced in 1924 by a new ministerial department for district and corporate administration, affiliated to the Ministry of the Interior, for all responsibilities that did not pass to the upper offices and the ministry. (Literature: Alfred Dehlinger, Württembergisches Staatswesen, 1951 - 1953 (especially § 127); Handwörterbuch der Württembergischen Verwaltung, edited by Dr. Friedrich Haller, 1915; Denkschrift über Vereinfachungungen in der Staatsverwaltung vom 27.2.1911, in: Verhandlungen der Württ. Zweiten Kammer 1911/12, Beilage 28, S. 385ff. The seat of the government of the Danube district established in 1818 was Ulm (district government of Ulm). It was responsible for the upper offices of Biberach, Blaubeuren, Ehingen, Geislingen, Göppingen, Kirchheim, Laupheim (before 1842 Wiblingen), Leutkirch, Münsingen, Ravensburg, Riedlingen, Saulgau, Tettnang, Ulm (with Albeck since 1819), Waldsee and Wangen. Equally ordered to these, but without the powers of the "high police" and the general state administration, were the - in 1849/50 dissolved - sovereign offices (patrimonial offices) Aulendorf (Gräfl. Königsegg-Aulendorfsches Amt), Buchau, Obermarchtal, Obersulmetingen and Scheer (Fürstl. Thurn and Taxis offices), Castle Waldsee (Prince Waldburg - Wolfegg - Waldsee Office), Wolfegg and Wurzach (Prince Waldburg-Wurzachs offices) and Zeil (Prince Waldburg - Zeil - Trauchburgs Office). In addition, it was in charge of the port management in Friedrichshafen, which was set up to handle the shipping and port police as well as the passport and alien police at the Württemberg port and landing areas. The district government exercised supervision over the Landarmenbehörde für den Donaukreis with its seat in Ulm. On the history of the registry: The large volume of files in the district governments, due to their extensive business activities, brought with it a periodically recurring overfilling of their registries, which in the 19th century was accompanied by cassations (maculation and sale of old files), after 1900 by duties to the archives of the interior or Extensive cassations took place at the district government in Ulm on the occasion of the relocation of the district government from the German House to the so-called Palais in 1859 and at an internal transfer of the chancellery in 1876 (cf. elimination lists in E 179 II Büschel 6565). Since everything that had lasting i.e. legal value for the administration was preserved according to instructions, the central, historically most valuable written record of the district government since its foundation was preserved despite these and other smaller cassations.Until the reorganisation of the registry in 1906, the registry of the district government of Ulm consisted of five departments (registries), most of which had their origins in previous authorities; in detail, these were Department I - II Regierungssachen, Spezialia und Generalia, Department III - IV Kommunsachen, Spezialia und Generalia (based on the registry of the municipal administration section) and Department V Registratur der Stiftungsverwaltung (according to the old classification, cf. Repertorium D 50). Within these departments, the files - with the exception of the foundation cases - were in alphabetical order.When the registrar Narr took office in 1887, the registry was in a precarious state, which he described as follows: "There is no repertory, the boxes and compartments are not numbered, the latter are not provided with rubrics, the fascicles are not overwritten, so that the official is only dependent on his memory and for months the files have not been repositioned" (report of 4.6.1887 in E 179 II Büschel 278a /85). This was remedied by the preparation of a file plan, which involved the external and internal reorganization of the registry. This now consisted essentially in the summary of rubrics - the original alphabetical order of the files had long since been broken - , in the division of the fascicles arranged according to objects according to places or according to the alphabet of the personal names from the year of engraving 1860 as well as in the allocation of storage place signatures according to boxes and subjects (see "Repertorium" in E 179 II Vol. 392).Change in the still largely outdated registry conditions was created in 1906 by Secretary General Nell with the amalgamation of the five departmental registries and the introduction of a registry plan comprising both the current and the depots of the 19th century with alphabetically arranged main sections, systematically subdivided sub-groups and box signatures (see "Repertorium" in E 179 II Vol. 393). After the abolition of the district governments in 1924, the processing office of the registry handed over the files of the former district government of Ulm to the state branch archives as well as to smaller parts of the ministerial department for district and corporate administration and to the upper offices (v.a. Civil rights files - admission, naturalizations, dismissals) as successor authorities, from which they later in part were transferred to the Ludwigsburg State Archives via other offices (cf. list of departures to E 173 - 180). To the order and distortion of the stock: For the use of the files of the district government Ulm only cursory archive and handover directories were available in the State Archives Ludwigsburg so far, which did not satisfy scientific requirements.As part of the longer-term re-drawing of the holdings of the four district governments, the inclusion of the official books of the Ulm district government was completed in 1970 (Repertorium E 179 I by Walter Böhm and Walter Bürkle). In contrast, the indexing of the file holdings begun in 1966, which was accompanied by a re-forming of the heavy and unwieldy file collections, took almost two decades. In spite of a wide range of official demands, the first arranger, Amtsrat Müller, with the temporary support of archive inspector candidate Joachim Herzer, was able to record almost half of the total 213.6 metres of shelving until his retirement in 1977. The title recording for the second part was made - with the assistance of the temporary employee Wally Vogler, who ordered and recorded the administrative administration of justice - by Karl Hofer, Councillor of the Office, from 1982 to 1984, who also edited the finding aid book.In fonds E 179 II, Kreisregierung Ulm, the following individual fonds have now been added (see also above):1. Delivery of the Kreisregierung Ulm from 1906 (to the Archiv des Innern): a) Generalia, developed by Archivrepertorium by Rechnungsrat Marquart from 1908 (Bund 1 - 99) as well as provisional Zettelrepertorium by Amtsrat Müller from 1966 ff. (Bü 1 - 986), 14 m. M (so far fonds E 179 );b) Spezialia, indexed as a) (Bund 1 - 381) as well as provisional note repertory by Amtsrat Müller 1966 ff. (Bü 1 - 1983), 70 current M (so far fonds E 179 III);2nd delivery of the processing office of the registry of the district government Ulm from 1924 (to the Staatsfilialarchiv Ludwigsburg): General and special files after 1906 with extensive old files, indexed by the delivery directory from Dec. 1924 (Bund 1 - 517) as well as provisional note repertory by Amtsrat Müller 1966ff. (Bü. 3834 - 4157) and Amtsrat Hofer with the collaboration of Zeitangestellten Vogler (Bü. 4158 - 8485) 119.5 m (so far fonds E 179 III);3. Delivery of the ministerial department for district and corporate administration in Stuttgart from 1924 (to the Staatsfilialarchiv in Ludwigsburg): Supplements, indexed by the delivery index of Nov. 1924 (Bund 171 - 212) as well as a preliminary repertory of notes by Amtsrat Müller and Archivinspektoranwärter Herzer from 1974ff. (Bü. 3001 - 3833), 13.5 linear metres (so far collection stand E 173 - 180);4. Deliveries from the State Archives Sigmaringen (received there from the Regierungspräsidium Tübingen and from district offices) as well as from the Main State Archives Stuttgart (from the inventory of the Ministry of the Interior) from 1980 - 1983: Supplements, unlisted, title recordings 1984 by Amtsrat Hofer, 1.25 linear metres. M (= fonds E 179 IV) Foreign provenances were excavated to a greater extent from the 1906 delivery, but in the case of only a few documents were left with the files and the provenance assignment was noted in the title entries (see overview of foreign provenances in the appendix of the preliminary remark). The excavated documents could be assigned to already existing archival holdings, namely D 48a, Upper Government of the Department of Criminal Investigation and Upper Police Department or the Section of Internal Administration from 1806 - 1817 (access 4 m), D 49, Landesökonomiekollegium or Section of Municipal Administration from 1806 - 18917 (access 1.50 m), D 37, Section of Crown Domains and Foundations from 1811 - 1817 (access 9.5 m) and D 79 - 82, Districts and Bailiwicks from 1806 - 1817 (access 2.3 m). A total of 0.8 linear metres of records were handed over to the Main State Archives in Stuttgart and the State Archives in Sigmaringen, while 4 linear metres of records were cashed in for the Low Service Examination. ), it was possible for the benefit of the future evaluation of this extensive document delivery to form a total stock from the individual deliveries on the basis of this file plan. The title entries for the newer parts could be sorted back on the basis of the file numbers which are assigned analogously for the older parts ("Generalia - Spezialia"). the title entries created in the numerus currens-procedure kept their numbering even after the classification, so that the numerical order is preserved in the magazine, but not in the repertory. The original double numbering of the stocks "Generalia" and "Spezialia" could be eliminated by renumbering the "Spezialia" Büschel 1 - 1983 in Büschel 1001 - 2983, thanks to a larger numbering gap. The stock E 179 II has a circumference of 213.6 m. The highest order number is 8689. Order numbers that are not assigned are documented in the section on "Retroconversion".Ludwigsburg, August 1985Karl Hofer Fremdprovenienzen (ordered by the seat of the authorities): Allmendingen, SchultheißenamtBiberach, OberamtEhingen, KreisamtFreiburg, Vorderösterreichische StiftungsbuchhaltungGeislingen, OberamtGöppingen, Landvogtei an der Fils an.

Behörden- und Bestandsgeschichte Die M-Bestände enthalten die Unterlagen der württembergischen Militärverwaltung für die Zeit nach 1871. Sie sind von Kriegsverlusten verschont geblieben; allerdings wurden in den Jahren 1944 und 1946 umfangreiche Kassationen durchgeführt. Dabei wurden vor allem große Teile der Truppenakten zur Altpapierverwertung gegeben. Erhalten blieben ca. 1750 Regalmeter Akten und Bände, 315 laufende Meter Karteien und mehrere Tausende Karten und Bilder. Inhalt und Sonstiges Angesichts der fast völligen Vernichtung des Heeresarchivs Potsdam sind die M-Bestände nicht nur für die württembergische, sondern für die gesamte deutsche Militärgeschichte des Kaiserreichs von hoher Bedeutung. Zudem enthalten die bei der Militärverwaltung in Württemberg entstandenen Akten eine Fülle historischer Informationen, die über den engeren militärgeschichtlichen Kontext hinausgehen: so etwa Informationen zur allgemeinen Landes- und Ortsgeschichte, zur Geschichte der Wirtschaft, des Bauwesens, der Technik und nicht zuletzt zur Sozialgeschichte.

Inhalt und Sonstiges Die Beständeserie EA enthält die Bestände der Ministerien (und anderer zentraler Dienststellen) des ehemaligen Landes Württemberg-Baden (1945-1952) und des Bundeslands Baden-Württemberg seit 1952. Die Beständeserie wurde 1969 eingerichtet und 1987 neu organisiert. Der Gliederung und Signierung der Bestände liegt jetzt durchgängig folgendes Prinzip zugrunde: Die Bestände sind in der Regel nach den Ressorts der Ministerien eingeteilt; so entspricht EA 1 dem Staatsministerium, EA 2 dem Innenministerium usw. Für die Teilbestände wird dieser Ressortkennzeichnung ein Schrägstrich mit drei folgenden Ziffern angeschlossen. Daraus ergibt sich die Abteilungsgliederung und die fortlaufende Nummer der Ablieferung. Ein Beispiel: Die Signatur EA 3/102 läßt sich folglich auflösen als: - Kultusministerium (EA 3) - Abteilung 1 (EA 3/1) - 2. Zugang (EA 3/102). Teilbestände, die aus aufgehobenen Abteilungen oder von früheren Zuständigkeiten bei einzelnen Ressorts stammen, ebenso abgeschlossene Teilbestände aus der Zeit von 1945-1952 (Württemberg-Baden) werden der Gruppe 0 zugewiesen (Beispiel: EA 1/011). Personalakten erhalten grundsätzlich die Signatur /150 ff. Weitere Ministerialakten aus der Zeit von 1945 bis zur Gründung des Landes Baden-Württemberg verwahren: 1. das Generallandesarchiv Karlsruhe: Landesdirektion Baden, Sitz Karlsruhe, in der die für Nordbaden zuständigen Außenstellen der Ministerien von Württemberg-Baden zusammengefaßt waren. 2. das Staatsarchiv Sigmaringen: Ministerien bzw. Staatssekretariate des Landes Württemberg-Hohenzollern, Sitz Tübingen. 3. das Staatsarchiv Freiburg: Ministerien des Landes Baden, Sitz Freiburg. Ende 1998 umfaßte die Beständeserie EA rund 250 Teilbestände mit rund 5000 lfd. m, davon sind nur knapp 700 lfd. m durch archivfachliche Findbücher erschlossen.

Preliminary remark: The Reichsmusikkammer was founded as one of seven individual chambers of the Reichskulturkammer, i.e. the National Socialist compulsory organisation of the "creative artists", with the law of 22.09.1933 (additional ordinances of 01. and 09.11.1933). The Reichskulturkammer was a corporation under public law, was subordinate to the Reichspropaganda Minister as President of the Reichskulturkammer and served to monitor and direct cultural life in the "Third Reich". Every culturally active person had to be a member of the responsible individual chamber, non-inclusion or exclusion resulted in a professional ban, which was rigorously enforced. The Reichsmusikkammer was divided into individual districts. For Württemberg, Baden and Hohenzollern, from 1933 onwards, the state leadership of Southwest Germany housed in Stuttgart, Friedrichstrasse 13 (the house of the oppressed Württemberg SPD and its "Tagwacht" printing works) was initially responsible. On 01.04.1938 the Landesstelle Baden, which until then had been subordinated to the Landesleitung Südwestdeutschland, was made independent as the Landesleitung; the former Landesleitung Südwestdeutschland therefore subsequently operated as the Landesleitung Württemberg-Hohenzollern. The files of the Reichsmusikkammer - Landesleitung Südwestdeutschland and Württemberg-Hohenzollern, respectively, arrived at the Ludwigsburg State Archives in December 1964 via the Stuttgart Archive Directorate. It is no longer possible today to determine from where and under what circumstances they arrived at the Main State Archives in Stuttgart. Presumably the files were taken over in the chaotic months after the collapse in 1945. The inventory comprised about 320 standing files of about 30 m and was partly mixed with files of the inventory K 746 (Reichskammer der bildenden Künste - Landesleitung Stuttgart).Two departments were formed during the order and recording of the inventory, which began in 1971:- K 745 I Administrative files- K 745 II Personal filesThe personal files grew up in the years 1933-1944 and seem - in contrast to the administrative files - to be without larger gaps. The collection contains not only the personal files of the regular members of the Reichsmusikkammer (i.e. full-time or part-time musicians and music teachers), but also those of the persons exempted from membership of the Reichsmusikkammer (leisure musicians, music bands and associations), as well as occasional correspondence with foreign musicians and scholarship candidates.Among the 8542 individual files are the personal files of well-known musicians and composers, e.g. Hubert Deuringer, Hugo Distler, Robert Edler, Hubert Giesen, Hugo Herrmann, Eva Liedecke-Hölderlin, Karl Münchinger and Heinz Schlebusch, which in some cases, however, say very little. nevertheless, in one case or another they might be informative. In addition to the files of the soloists and ensemble musicians on the state and municipal stages and the numerous private music teachers, the frequent personal files of primary school teachers working in music and music education are of interest. The latter not only contain statements that are relevant for the respective person (which cannot usually be collected elsewhere), but often also provide information about village cultural conditions. Among the elementary school teachers, there are also the sharpest critics of the regulating and levelling activities of the Reichsmusikkammer. Judgments such as that of the main teacher W. Berner (Bü 8378): "The Reichsmusikkammer prevents music instruction in the countryside rather than promoting it" are - generally well-founded - frequently found in the correspondence between the teachers and the chamber. Finally, particular attention should be paid to the personal files in which examination papers are contained (and are consistently indicated in them), since some of these contain extensive assessments by the examiners. Hugo Distler, for example, whose own personal file is almost insignificant, has made numerous handwritten judgments on the pianistic abilities of the candidates in numerous examination procedures.1971-1972 The inventory was recorded under the direction of the undersigned by A. Berwanger, G. Zöllner and R. Vahle.Ludwigsburg, March 1973Dr. Wolfgang Schmierer[NACHTRAG:]In 2000, the card index was processed for conservation reasons as part of the retroconversion of older finding aids. Several temporary staff were involved in the computer recording, in particular Andrea Mahler and Sabine Dörlich. Inge Nesper was in charge of the incorporation of corrections, and the alphabetical order was retained for the EDP recording. Civil names and artist names were recorded in separate data records and displayed in the comments field. An examination of the numbering revealed that individual personnel files were not recorded in the index and that seven order numbers were not assigned. Ludwigsburg, December 2000Dr. Barbara Hoen

The history of the district governments: The district governments were established by the 4th Edict of 18 Nov. 1817 at the same time as the district chambers of finance were revoked in 1849. Previously, the entire administration in Württemberg had been led by a central government college, in which sections had been formed for the various branches of the administration, in addition to the district governorates, which had only little competence and were called bailiwick bailiwicks from 1810 onwards, as well as the municipal and district authorities. The division of the country into districts and the creation of provincial colleges was modelled on the French Departmental Constitution of 1789, which also formed the basis for a new administrative organisation in other German states at the beginning of the 19th century. In 1818 it was put into effect, and at the same time the sections of internal administration, medicine, roads, bridges, hydraulic engineering, local government and the Commission for Municipal Use and Allodification of Farm Loans existing in the Ministry of the Interior, the section of crown domains, the section of state accounts, the section of agriculture, the section of state coffers in the Ministry of Finance, the section of foundations in the Ministry of Church and Education were abolished.After the instruction of Dec. 21. In 1819, the district governments were the supreme authorities in their area for all matters of state administration in the field of regimes (sovereign administration), the state police and the state economy, and for the administration of the property of municipalities, official bodies and foundations, insofar as these objects were not assigned to other district or central offices (Chambers of Finance as well as Protestant Consistory, Catholic Church Council, Academic Council, Superior Building Council, Provincial Stud Commission, Medical College, Superior Chamber of Accounts, Tax College, Forestry Council and Bergrat).The old 1819 directive was valid for 70 years, it was only replaced by the Decree of 15 Nov 1889 on the organisation of district governments and the course of their business. Their business was handled by a president as a member of the board, administrative councils and collegial assessors as well as the necessary office staff. For the technical consultation a county medical council was temporarily assigned to the health service, for the road, bridge and hydraulic engineering of the municipalities a construction council, another for the building industry of the municipalities and foundations an expert was assigned, for the permissions of steam boiler plants. Business was transacted partly through collegial consultation and decision-making, partly through the office.In the course of time, a number of important tasks were transferred from the original tasks of the district governments to other middle and central authorities, such as the Ministerial Department for Road and Water Construction (1848), the Central Office for Agriculture (1848), the Central Office for Trade and Commerce (1848), the Ministerial Department for Building Construction (1872), the Corporate Forestry Directorate (1875), the Medical College (1881) and the Higher Insurance Office (1912).After 1870, new tasks arose for the district governments through new Reich and state laws, namely the Industrial Code, the laws on the formation of district poor associations, on the administration of administrative justice, on the representation of Protestant church and Catholic parishes and on the compulsory expropriation of land. In addition, at the beginning of the 20th century, the water law was reorganized, social legislation was expanded and direct supervision of large and medium-sized cities and direct supervision of large and medium-sized cities was assigned. In the case of the tasks of the internal state administration to be carried out by the district governments, these were either the deciding or the decreing authority of the first instance, or the supervisory and complaints authority, or the evaluating and mediating authority. 1924, in the course of the removal of civil servants and offices, the district governments were replaced by a new ministerial department for district and corporate administration, subdivided into the Ministry of the Interior, for all competences which did not pass to the upper offices and the Ministry.Literature- Alfred Dehlinger, Württembergisches Staatswesen, 1951 - 1953 (esp. § 127)- Handwörterbuch der württembergischen Verwaltung, edited by Dr. Friedrich Haller 1915- Denkschrift über Vereinfachungen in der Staatsverwaltung vom 27.2.1911, in: Verhandlungen der Württ. Zweiten Kammer 1911/12, Beilage 28, S. 385ff. (Dep. of the Interior). To the district government of Reutlingen: The seat of the government of the Black Forest district, established at the end of 1817, was Reutlingen (Reutlingen district government), which was responsible for the upper offices of Balingen, Calw, Freudenstadt, Herrenberg, Horb, Nagold, Neuenbürg, Nürtingen, Oberndorf, Reutlingen, Rottenburg, Rottweil, Spaichingen, Sulz, Tübingen, Tuttlingen (with exclave Hohentwiel) and Urach. Furthermore, the workhouse for women in Rottenburg, which was affiliated to the prison for female prisoners in Gotteszell in 1907, was subordinated to her. While the number of senior offices in the district government of Reutlingen remained constant until 1938, the districts themselves experienced a decline in the number of senior offices in the district government of Reutlingen as a result of the law of 6 July 1938.1842 on the amendment in the delimitation of the administrative districts subsequent amendments:- from OA Herrenberg the municipality Hagelloch to OA Tübingen, - from OA Neuenbürg the municipalities Dennjächt, Ernstmühl, Liebenzell, Monakam, Unterhaugstett and Unterreichenbach to OA Calw- from OA Nürtingen the municipality Grabenstetten to OA Urach, Hausen am Tann and Roßwangen to OA Rottweil,- from OA Tübingen the municipality Altenriet to OA Nürtingen and- from OA Urach the municipality Pliezhausen to OA Tübingen and the municipality Eningen to OA Reutlingen.The above-mentioned places may therefore appear in the search book under different regional offices, which has to be taken into account in individual cases. Structure, order and distortion of the inventory: Present holdings E 177 I essentially contain the records handed over to the Ludwigsburg State Archives by the registry office of the district government in Reutlingen on December 3, 1924 - a torso in relation to the original records.A considerable number of the registry files had already been withdrawn and collected in 1823, 1835, 1848, 1853, 1863, 1872, 1889 and finally 1924, including the records until 1850, the business diaries until 1870 and the directorates until 1830 (cf. Further files had been handed over to the following offices for reasons of competence:- 1873 to the ministerial department for building construction (building files),- 1908 to the archive of the interior (files of the county Ober- und Niederhohenberg zu Rottenburg, the bailiwicks Black Forest, on the Alb, on the upper Neckar and on the middle Neckar, the Churfürstl. 1924 finally to the 17 upper offices of the district, to the ministerial department for district and corporate administration, to the ministerial department for building construction, to the regional trade office, to the trade and supervisory office, to the catholic high school council, to the ministerial department for higher schools and/or to the ministerial department for the higher schools. The files handed over to the Archive of the Interior as well as parts of the files handed over to the Ministerial Department for District and Corporation Administration and the Higher Offices (above all the Higher Offices Reutlingen and Urach) later came from these offices directly or via successor authorities (District Administrator's Offices) or the Ministerial Department for Technical Schools (see E 177 I Büschel 301 and 4393). In 1937, the State Archives Ludwigsburg, under the direction of the subsequent Director of the State Archives Prof. Grube, undertook a makeshift order and indexing of the holdings, which he described in the find book as follows: "The registry of the Reutlingen district government was handed over to the State Branch Archives in 1924 with an inadequate handover register of 5 pages. The older registry plan (with keyword register) and a keyword register of 1910 designated as "Repertorium", which was also handed over, were also not sufficient for the determination of the actually existing files. Since it is not possible in the foreseeable future to keep an internal order for the somewhat confused holdings and to separate the files that are not worthy of archiving, the present repertory was produced by Hausverwalter Isser in 1935 on the occasion of the external order of the holdings as a temporary auxiliary measure according to the fascicle inscriptions. As part of the revision of the holdings of the district governments in the Ludwigsburg State Archives from 1986 to 1990, the undersigned, together with the temporary employee Karin Steißlinger, who opened up the extensive administrative legal cases, made new title records for the various partial holdings of the Reutlingen district government (E 177 I, E 177 III and without signature). The registry was based on a simple systematic order introduced after 1863 by Registrator Bregizer and Chancellor List Wenz, according to which the files were divided into the main groups A Regiminal and B Police files with 19 and 13 rubrics respectively; the file bundles themselves were correspondingly provided with file signatures, i.e. with letters and numbers of the stands (boxes) and compartments. After the new indexing had been completed, the title records created using the numerus currens-procedure were sorted according to the old file plan, but the structure of the file groups in the finding aid book was made clearer and without the division into two parts of the Regiminal and Police Administration. Of these, 0.5 linear metres were allocated to the files available here (Kreisreg. Ludwigsburg, Ellwangen and Ulm, Commission for the Clean-up of the Official and Municipal Association, Ministerial Department for District and Corporation Administration). The Main State Archives received 0.6 linear metres (mainly old-valued files) and the State Archives Sigmaringen 1.6 linear metres (files of the higher offices), while 0.8 linear metres of files (slaughterhouse and meat inspection fees, office costs of the higher offices, examination of sports invoices) were collected.For 297, plans and cracks still attached to the files as well as 175 newspaper copies proof maps for the holdings JL 590 and JL 430 were produced. 4484 tufts were made for the holdings E 177 I. Ludwigsburg, in November 1990Hofer tufts 4485 to 4499, received from the State Archives Sigmaringen with access 2000/79, were incorporated into the holdings in July 2009. Retroconversion: This finding aid book is a repertory that was previously only available in handwritten or typewritten form and was converted into a database-supported and thus online-capable format according to a procedure developed by the "Retroconversion Working Group in the Ludwigsburg State Archives". This can lead to a certain discrepancy between the modern external appearance and the partly outdated design and formulation of the title recordings. Corrections, deletions and additions were verified and incorporated.

On the history of the authorities: From the Reichsdeputationshauptschluß of 1803, the territory of Württemberg up to the Treaties of Compiegne and Paris was subject to constant transformation and expansion. On May 1810, Württemberg concluded a treaty with Bavaria in Paris, which reorganized the course of the border between the two states and established a related exchange of territories. A new border line was drawn from Lake Constance to the Waldmannshofen (SHA) marking line, which ran along the rivers Iller and Tauber as far as possible. In addition to the former imperial cities of Bopfingen, Buchhorn and Ulm, Württemberg received from Bavaria all Bavarian regional courts or parts of regional courts located west of the new border (e.g. the "Landgerichtsteile"): Tettnang, Wangen, Ravensburg, Leutkirch, Söflingen, Albeck and Crailsheim). The eastern offices of Gebsattel and Weiltingen were transferred to Bavaria. On 28 October 1810, King Frederick I appointed a three-member commission to take possession of the newly acquired parts of the country and to record and clear up the course of the border. This commission consisted of the Privy Councillor Count Ferdinand von Zeppelin, the Privy Legation Councillor Johann Peter von Feuerbach and the Privy Chief Finance Councillor Ferdinand August von Weckherlin. In cooperation with the commissioners appointed by Bavaria, it was to take care of the ownership and organisational business in the new areas. Local officials were added to the Commissioners to assist them. The Commission was urged to forward reports and complaints to the higher authority in Stuttgart, the Committee for the Implementation of the latest State Treaties - consisting of the State Ministers Graf von Mandelslohe, Graf von Taube and von Reischach - (see D 29 Bü 1). Ulm, the main acquisition of the state treaty, was chosen as the main administrative seat. In November and December 1810, the commissioners were active on site except in Ulm to take possession. From March 1811, border clearing commissioners were appointed. The focus of the commission's work in 1810 was on the formal occupation of the new villages: Application of patents, swearing-in of subjects, etc. At the beginning of 1811, the Commission's activities focused on the organisation of the parts of the territory, the takeover of the servants and civil servants and the recording of assets and debts for the purpose of reconciliation with Bavaria. At the same time, under the leadership of Major General Heinrich von Theobald and the Privy Legation Council of Feuerbach, border cleaning business began in the upper offices. In April 1811, he was recalled from Feuerbach to Ulm to take over the debt and servant department. The Privy Legation Council of Wucherer replaced him for a short time. From March to mid-July, the commission in Ulm included the Landvogteisteuerrat Tafel and the registrar Kappoll Oberrechnungsrat Carl Eberhardt Weissmann, von Feuerbach, Rechnungsrat Vetter and, at times, Graf von Zeppelin, while von Weckherlin was in Stuttgart. With the return of Weckherlin to Ulm in July 1811 von Feuerbach again took over the clearing of the border. In Ulm, only Weckherlin and Weissmann were left behind, because the Commission's business increasingly shifted to the division of debts between Bavaria and Württemberg. The recording of assets and liabilities and the establishment of asset and liability capital of the cities and camera offices now determined the commission transactions. In March/April 1812, the entry and exit journals of the Commission end in Ulm (cf. D 29 Bü 5 - 6). In June 1812, the commissioner von Feuerbach, who was responsible for border clearance, went to Munich to clarify the questions still open at the new border (cf. D 29 Bü 157). Following this conference, the Main Execution Treaty of Munich was signed in September 1812. This marked the beginning of the second stage of border cleaning (cf. D 29 Bü 158). The questions of the distribution of debts with Bavaria, which were also still open, were taken over by Weissmann's Upper Council of Account, who travelled to Augsburg in April 1813 to the Debt Redemption Fund. Subsequently, this task was taken over by the Section of State Accounts, the predecessor authority of the Upper Chamber of Accounts, and the Section of Crown Domains. On the history of the holdings: The files of the royal Property Seizure Commission, which were created in Ulm between 1810 and 1812, were transferred by the Upper Chamber of Accounts to the Ludwigsburg Financial Archive in 1835 (cf. StAL E 224a Bü 75). In the case of the files, two lists of files presumably compiled by the Oberrechnungskammer with an index of facts, persons and places were appended. Until 1949 the file directories served as finding aids, the registry numbers I - CXXXIII already assigned by the Ulm authority and the fascicle numbers CXXXIV No. 1 - 28 presumably added later at the Oberrechnungskammer were retained as archive signatures (= presignature 2). Already when the files were taken over in 1835, 18 fascicles were registered as missing. In 1847 a revision took place in which the missing fascicles were marked again. The stock was relocated for several years. The files originally stored at the beginning of inventory D 21, Central Organizing Commission, have now been placed at its end. In 1908, the files of the Take-over Commission were transferred from the Financial Archive to the Ludwigsburg State Branch Archive. Before the year 1949 4 more tufts were added, which, listed by K. O. Müller, received the signature CXXXIV No. 29 - 32. In 1949 another revision took place, in which all existing files were signed through according to numerus currens; the numbering resulted in 146 tufts of files (= presignature 3). In 1987, 14 tufts from the HStA Stuttgart arrived in Ludwigsburg, which were sorted out when the inventory E 36, 2 Ministry of Foreign Affairs, was indexed and divided (= presignature 1). The files concerning the foundation system partly had file numbers of the Ulm registry, among them were 6 fascicles of the files already noted as missing when they were taken over into the archive. These files were added to the inventory and were given the numbers 147 - 161. In 1990, 37 tufts from the inventory E 36, 2 (Fasz. 23 - 33) 37 were again delivered from the main state archive Stuttgart. In 1994, 3 more tufts were added. On the occasion of the distortion and allocation of the tufts which arrived in 1990, it was decided to register and order the entire stock anew. The collection is divided into two large parts according to the development of the registry and the place where the files were created. Part 1 consists of the files that have grown and been filed with the Besitzergreifungskommission in Ulm. The files, most of which came from Stuttgart, form part 2 of the collection. These are the official files of the Commissioner von Feuerbach which arose outside Ulm during the settlement of the border clearance transaction. It is likely that von Feuerbach, who worked in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs during and after his commission activities, took the files with him to this location, from where they then reached the old registry there. The Commissioner and Privy Legation Council of Feuerbach's area of responsibility did not only extend to border cleaning; at times he was also assigned the debt and servant department (cf. history of the authorities).the relatively small file units of the two registries were retained in the records; only in a few cases were files merged. Only old envelopes were collected. Especially in the case of the files presumably filed with the upper arithmetic chamber, foreign provenances were found. These altogether eight tufts or parts of tufts were inserted into the corresponding stocks (cf. concordance). Within these groups, a breakdown has been made by business and function of the Commission. An attempt was made to structure both parts equally. A comparison of the existing files with the find book presumably produced at the Oberrechnungskammer (cf. D 29 Bü 9) shows that the inventory is no longer complete. The re-drawing was carried out in 1994 by Mrs Sibylle Kraiss under the direction of the undersigned.
