Until 1870/71, she was responsible for Württemberg's relations with the Kingdom of Prussia, then also with the German Empire, and the Württemberg envoys in Berlin were, among other things: Johannes Nathanael Freiherr von Schunckum 1720Friedrich Graf von Seckendorfum 1730 - 1733Johann Eberhard Georgii1741 - 1744Christoph Dietrich von Keller1744 - 1749Gottfried von Hochstetterum 1751 - 1757Tobias Faudel (Resident)about 1793/94Reckert (Resident)about 1795Christoph von Seckendorfum 1799Ferdinand Friedrich Freiherr von Nicolaium 1800/01August Friedrich Batz1801 - 1803Gustav Heinrich Freiherr von Mylius 1803 - October 1806Hermann Freiherr von Wimpffen July 1807- ?Carl Philipp von Kaufmann, Legation Councillor January 1811 - February 1813Friedrich Wilhelm Carl Freiherr von Scheeler July 1814 - May 1815Franz Joseph Freiherr von Linden, Legation Secretary May - November 1815August von Neuffer December 1815 - May 1816Franz Joseph Freiherr von Linden, Legation Secretary May - July 1816Gottfried Jonathan von Harttmann, Legation Secretary October 1816 - January 1817Friedrich Freiherr von Phull, Lieutenant General January 1817 - 1820Ulrich Leberecht Graf von Mandelsloh (interim) July - September 1820Karl Friedrich Wagner, Legation Councillor 1821, 1823 - 1824Georg Ernst Levin Graf von Wintzingerode 1820 - 1825Friedrich Wilhelm Graf von Bismark 1825 - 1844August von Blomberg, Legation Councillor 1826 - 1829Franz à Paula Freiherr von Linden, Legation Council 1830 - 1844Julius Baron von Maucler 1844 - 1845Ludwig von Reinhardt 1846 - 1850Carl Eugen Baron von Hügel 1850 - 1852Franz à Paula Baron von Linden 1852 - 1866Friedrich Heinrich Karl Baron Hugo von Spitzemberg 1866 - 1880Fidel von Baur-Breitenfeld 1881 - 1886Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin 1887 - 1889Rudolf Friedrich Karl von Moser 1890 - 1893Theodor Axel Freiherr von Varnbüler 1894 - 1918Karl Hildenbrand 1918 - 1924Otto Bosler1924 - 1933 (1934) : Since the foundation of the Reich in 1871, the Württemberg envoys in Berlin have also acted as plenipotentiaries to the Bundesrat. Since the end of the 19th century, the legation was located at Voßstraße 10. The legation building was erected by government councillor Georg Wilhelm von Mörner. After the end of the legation in 1933, the building was bought up by the Reich in 1937 and demolished one year later, as the new Reich Chancellery was planned at this location. the ministerial counterpart to stock E 74 until the end of the monarchy in Germany in 1918 is in stock E 50/03, further documents concerning the Württemberg legation in Berlin for the time before 1806 in the stocks A 16 a, A 74 c and the time after 1918 in the stocks of the Württemberg State Ministry (E 130 a-c). 2nd inventory history and processing report: The documents of the present inventory were handed over to the former Württemberg State Archive Stuttgart in 1932. Another delivery received in 1937 was burnt during the Second World War. The largest part of the documents contains federal affairs of the German Reich, in which the Württemberg envoy was involved as an authorized representative of the Bundesrat. Particularly noteworthy are documents on the regulation of tax legislation between the German Reich and the federal states, on the war economy during the First World War, but also on economic supply in the post-war period. Particularly in the field of food supply, there is a substitute tradition for the documents of the Württemberg Ministry of Food destroyed in the Second World War. Many of the more recent documents contain large amounts of Reichstag and Bundesrat printed matter, but due to correspondence with Württemberg authorities they are not to be regarded as a double tradition of the files of the institutions of the German Reich kept in the Federal Archives.In the years 2008 - 2009 the documents were made accessible by the archive officers René Hanke, Mathias Kunz and Andreas Neuburger, the archive inspectors Wolfram Berner, Sylvia Güntheroth, Antje Hauschild and Stephanie Kurrle as well as the interns Christa Ackermann and Fabian Fechner under the guidance of the undersigned, some parts were also made accessible by the undersigned himself. Rudolf Bezold was responsible for the subsequent archiving of the documents. The total volume of the stock comprises 40 volumes and 958 tufts in the volume of 34.3 linear metres of shelving.Stuttgart, in October 2011Johannes Renz b) nationality mark: A]Austria [BY]Belarus [CH]Switzerland [CHN]People's Republic of China [CZ]Czech Republic [E]Spain [EAT]Tanzania [F]France [I]Italy [NAM]Namibia [P]Portugal [PL]Poland [RT]Togo [RUS]Russia [TR]Turkey [UA]Ukraine
