North German Missionary SocietyFind Resources: Rep. 800 files concerning youth and welfare care, some minute books Institutions/Personal History: The municipal welfare system begins with the foundation of the poor people's office through the entry into force of the city. After the transfer of the tasks of the Gemeindewaisenrat the Armenamt was renamed to 1 July 1900 in orphan and poor office and to 1 October 1918 in welfare office on 1 April 1883. On 3 July 1914 the local statute concerning the establishment of a youth welfare office was issued. As early as 1923, there were plans to merge the welfare office and the youth welfare office. Initially the name Jugend- und Wohlfahrtsamt was used unofficially. By Magistratsbeschluß of 5 April 1928 the united welfare and youth welfare office received the designation welfare office. Collection history: The collection consists of several provenances due to the above-mentioned office restructuring. Most of the files came through Arch-Zug. 1944/21 into the city archives. Further taxes were levied in 1990 and 1997 respectively. Notes on use: # 1,794 is blocked for use. A reader printer printout is available under Bibl. Sign. 98/45. Prints of the photos contained in the file can be found in the photo collection.
Preliminary remarks History of the authorities The Welfare Office for civil servants from the border areas was established at the same time as the Supreme Welfare Office for civil servants from the border areas (GStA PK, I. HA Rep. 206) with the law on the accommodation of indirect civil servants and teachers from the areas ceded by the Versailles Treaties (Accommodation Act) on 30 March 1920 (GS. p. 63). The law concerned indirect state officials who lost their office as a result of the assignment or occupation of Prussian parts of the country or gave up their office because, according to the circumstances, they could not be expected to continue their work under foreign rule. It also applied to the former Alsace-Lorraine indirect civil servants and teachers and to teachers who had had to give up their jobs in the foreign or colonial school service (the welfare office for teachers was responsible for this; its file stock is not handed down). The Welfare Office was the decision-making authority of the Ministry of Finance. His court of appeal was the Supreme Welfare Office. The 1920 law was amended by the law of 21 May 1935 (p. 69). The president of the Prussian Building and Finance Directorate was also chairman of the "Welfare Office"; the main fund of the Building and Finance Directorate handled its cash transactions (see also the state handbooks). Inventory Six acts of the authority were transferred to the Secret State Archives in 1941 (Accession 68/1941) and the "I. HA Rep. 180 E" collection was set up for this purpose. These files were outsourced during the war and finally reached the German Central Archive in Merseburg after the war. The other files of the authority listed here were transferred from the building of the Prussian Building and Finance Directorate Berlin (Invalidenstraße 52) to the main archive of Berlin in 1947; the "I. HA Rep. 180 C" collection was formed from them - probably in ignorance of what had already been established earlier. After the merging of the two components, they were combined to form the "I. HA Rep. 180 C Welfare Office for Civil Servants from the Border Regions". The stock is in the magazine Dahlem. The files are to be ordered as: I. HA Rep. 180 C, No. ### The files are to be quoted as: I. HA Rep. 180 C Welfare Office for officials from border areas, No. ### The last number assigned is: signed.
