Ports and Shipping, 1.1.12.2. Local Administration Warnemünde and 1.1.12.3. Trade and Industry. This division follows the different tasks of the authority, whereby the general files were arranged with the archivischen treatment into the first partial existence. The descriptions of the contents and further literature references can be found in the sub-collections. Overview: The term Gewett is derived from the Middle Low German word "Wedde", which means, among other things, fine and police court. Since the Middle Ages, life in the city was carried out according to the norms set by the Council. Violation of these standards was punishable by the payment of a fine. The protection of the norms and the collection of the fines was the task of the Weddeherren, who belonged to the council and were first mentioned in the sources in 1366. They were responsible for supervising the entire commercial and industrial life in the city as well as the craftsmen and the craft offices. In addition, the Weddeherrens were responsible for the preservation of the port and the fairways, supervised the beach and the flotsam, administered Warnemünde, took care of the cleaning and maintenance of the roads and ensured that the duty of vigilance was observed. The Gewett was also a police authority and acted as a judicial authority for the aforementioned areas. Like other municipal authorities, the Gewett has developed from a medieval council office to an extrajudicial authority since the early modern era. The Gewett essentially retained the competences it had already defined in the Middle Ages as a port, shipping, trade and industry authority. Two council members were responsible as president and assessor. They were assisted by several officials, including the harbour master, the pilot commander and the Vogt from Warnemünde. The bailiff in Warnemünde had to exercise the powers and duties of a police and judicial authority for this district. In the 19th century, with the emergence of monocratic authorities, certain shifts in competence occurred. In 1817, the Police Office was founded, which followed on from the City Guard, which had been under the gun until then. Other functions, such as the medical police, the supervision of pharmacies or the building and trade police, were transferred to the police office in the middle of the century. In the field of shipping, Gewett was responsible for issuing Biel letters in 1831, and in 1838 it actually took over the duties of a seaman's office. After the adoption of the Court Constitution Act by the Reichstag in 1879, the power of the dissolved municipal higher court took over the management of the ship register, and since 1888 it has acted as a ship surveying authority. Even after the introduction of freedom of trade in the course of the unification of the empire, the Gewett remained the first instance for all craft and trade matters. Only the November Revolution of 1918 and the subsequent state upheaval led to serious changes. The bet was settled in 1920. The administration of Warnemünde was transferred to its own local administration. The successor in the field of ports and shipping was the port administration. The police department took over the supervision of trade and commerce.

Overview: The sub-collection "Gewett: Hafen und Schifffahrt" contains the most important sources on Rostock's shipping history. The temporal emphasis of the tradition lies in the 19th century and reaches up to the end of the Second World War. The nautical register from 1585-1605, the ship's tonnage records (Bielbriefe), the ship's register files, the ship's registers, the harbour journals or the sample rolls are worth mentioning. In addition, the general administrative files for the business operation of the bet are classified in this portfolio. Of particular interest are, among other things, the weight calculations. The invoices of the two Weddeherren, which have been available since 1381, prove that the preservation of the harbour, the low, the fairway, the bulwark and the light as well as the supervision of the beach and the flotsam have belonged to their tasks since earliest times. In the course of the formation of the authorities, these competences gave rise to important areas of responsibility for the Gewett. The area of responsibility of the Gewett was regulated by a series of Council regulations. 1756 a beach regulation was issued, 1802 a pilot regulation, 1853 a port regulation. Since 1831 Gewett was responsible for the exhibition of Bielbriefe. A council decree of 1838 made it a de facto seaman's office, controlling the acceptance, wages and layoffs of ship crews. After the German Reich's Seemannsordnung came into force, the Gewett officially became the Seemannsamt in 1873. In 1874 a sovereign decree entrusted him with the tasks of a beach office. In 1879 the Gewett took over the management of the ship registers, in 1888 it became the ship surveying authority. Under the supervision of the Gewett, important areas of the shipping and port industry were located in Rostock and Warnemünde. However, some functions had to be transferred to state authorities since the end of the 19th century. Since their establishment in 1877, the Maritime Offices have negotiated declarations and accidents. The keeping of the shipping registers was transferred to the district court in 1912. After the dissolution of the Gewett in 1920, the municipal port administration took its place. In 1934 the port administration was dissolved as an independent department. The finance department took over the processing of the property, e.g. the letting of the storage places at the harbour, on the beach and in Warnemünde. The tasks of the shipping office, the seaman's office and the ship surveying authority were assigned to the police office. The civil engineering office was responsible for port and waterway construction. Publications: Müller, Walther: Rostock's maritime shipping and maritime trade in the course of time.

Overview: The sub-collection "Gewett: Ortsverwaltung Warnemünde" contains the relevant files of the Vogtei, the administration, the Badeverwaltung and the Bürgerältestenkollegium. The town of Rostock had acquired the fishing village at the mouth of the Warnow on 11 March 1323 from Prince Heinrich II of Mecklenburg in order to secure access to the sea. Since that time the village has been administered by a municipal bailiff. This was subordinated to the Weddeherren or later to the Gewett, which exercised the supervision, court and police functions in Warnemünde. From the end of the 19th century, tourism became a decisive factor in the town's economic life. The village grew into a health resort. The Citizens' Elder Council lost its function in 1911 after six Warnemünde citizens were generally granted a seat in the Rostock Citizens' Representation. In 1920, the betting was settled. The bailiff was replaced by his own local administration. The most extensive group of files in the collection results from the function of the Gewett as a lower court, which until the end of the 19th century dealt with legal disputes as well as guardianship and estate matters of the inhabitants of Warnemünde. The alphabetical order of files was already made in the court registry after the initial letters of the names of the persons and a serial number within the letter.

Overview: The exercise of police power was one of the privileges of the City of Rostock, which allowed the Council, under its own authority, to issue regulations for all areas of city life. In the sovereign police and land regulations of 1516, 1542, 1562 and 1572 the dukes of Mecklenburg had asserted their increased claim to want to have a regulating and disciplining effect on the ways of life and behaviour of their subjects. The city authorities were urged to act according to these orders. It was under this impression that the Council published in 1538 a first police order - not handed down in the past - which at the same time confirmed its own sovereignty in this field. The inheritance contract of 21 September 1573 made it obligatory for the city to establish a "good, Christian, honourable and cheap police and court order", which had to orient itself to the sovereign orders. On 14 April 1576, the Council's police regulations with their 59 paragraphs were finally in place. The Council subsequently increased its measures to produce a "good policyy" with a large number of individual ordinances and reacted to non-compliance with penalties. Regulations on keeping the streets clean, on engagements, weddings, children's beer parties, mourning ceremonies or fire protection influenced people's everyday lives. A comprehensive catalogue of regulations and restrictions developed. Social discipline was also served by the establishment of the breeding and factory house in the former Catherine monastery in 1728. With the renewed and improved police regulations of 1757, the Council's efforts in the fight against the "abuses and debaucheries that almost overtook from day to day" reached a new quality. However, there was no establishment of a special police authority, and violations continued to be punished by the individual council offices. The Inheritance Treaty of 13 May 1788 confirmed the city's authority to issue its own police orders without interference by the state government, subject to compliance with the state police ordinances. At the same time, Duke Friedrich Franz I allowed the city to set up thirty police guards. With the construction of the police station, a longer process of institutionalization of the police system began. In 1795, the "Neue Monatsschrift für und von Mecklenburg" (New Monthly Bulletin for and of Mecklenburg) named serious deficiencies in the exercise of the police, in particular in the enforcement of the existing ordinances. Points of criticism were the lack of monitoring of bread and meat prices, the rubbish in the streets, the begging, the lack of fire safety, the nightly singing of journeymen on the streets, the purchase of food outside the city gates, the lawn of millers, beach and sand drivers with horse-drawn carts, the neglect of supervision over school attendance. Only with the establishment of the police office on 1 April 1817 did a fundamental change occur. With the "Order of Police Violence" of 14 December 1825, the authorities were given fixed structures and defined powers. The Police Office took over the tasks of the authorities to maintain and enforce order and security, while the College of Police Administration was responsible for street cleaning, refuse collection, street lighting, road construction, sewerage and parks. The two bodies were headed by a director and an assessor who were members of the Council. The police office also had the power to impose penalties, which was the only way to ensure that the numerous ordinances were enforced. To carry out the tasks, a comprehensive apparatus of administrative officers (secretaries, clerks) and security officers (commissioners, watchmen, guards, prison guards) was set up. The municipal police force remained unrestricted even after the unification of the Reich in 1871, but increasingly the laws and regulations enacted by the Reich or the Land became the guideline for police work. With the foundation of the Mecklenburg Ordnungspolizei in 1921, the state police presence was considerably strengthened. The municipal police office was finally replaced by the state police headquarters on 1 April 1937 in the course of the centralisation of the police apparatus promoted by the National Socialists. The city of Rostock only had functions as a local police authority.

Overview: The fortified wall belt with the city gates and towers provided the city with effective military protection. The citizens were obliged to work fortification, to guard and defend the town, had to pay taxes for military purposes. The craft offices had to provide fixed contingents of crew and weapons for the citizen contingent. In times of war, the armed forces were increased by recruited mercenaries under noble leaders, who were used in particular for foreign undertakings. Since the 16th century, the dukes of Mecklenburg Rostock have contested the sovereignty of the armed forces and sought the right of occupation (ius praesidii). In 1565 Duke Johann Albrecht I succeeded in occupying the town and subjugating it to sovereignty. As a result, the inheritance contract of 21 September 1573 was concluded, which left Rostock the right of occupation, but granted the dukes the right to move into the city with up to 400 men in case of danger. For the defence of the country the formation of mercenaries was planned, Rostock had to provide in this case 400 men and two guns. A number of measures should protect against the looming dangers of the Thirty Years' War. From 1623, the town set up mercenary units and from 1626, in order to pay them and finance their quarters, raised service or ticket money. The urban area was divided into 18 flags. In 1626 the reconstruction of the fortification according to the plans of the Dutch architect Johann van Valckenburg began. Nevertheless, in 1628 the town had to surrender to the troops of the imperial commander Albrecht Wallenstein. In 1631 the dukes of Mecklenburg succeeded in reconquering their country with the help of the Swedish king. In return, the Swedes were granted the duty in Warnemünde. The Swedish entrenchment there was fought over and over again in the changeful constellations of the following period, Rostock was occupied several times by Brandenburg, Danish and Swedish troops. After 1631 the town had set up its own mercenary company again. In 1702 they agreed with the sovereigns on a strength of 50 men. The city militia was to serve together with ducal soldiers. Rostock gave up its occupation right with this settlement, had from now on only a co-occupation right. Since 1715 Duke Karl Leopold tried by force to obtain the full occupation right. It was not until the Convention of 1748 that the disputes could be settled. At first the city held on to the right of co-occupation and its 50 soldiers, but in the inheritance contract of 1788 they renounced it. After 1748 the dukes had begun to station their own regiments in Rostock. Triggered by the Napoleonic wars, a fundamental change in military conditions set in. After Mecklenburg's accession to the Confederation of the Rhine, contingent troops had to be set up according to the conscription system of the French army. This marked the break with the old feudal army and the change to bourgeois military rule. After the victory over Napoleon and the accession of the Grand Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin to the German Confederation, this system was further developed and in 1820 the military obligation for the male population was established. In contrast to the residence cities, the military played a subordinate role in Rostock. The Neue Wache at Blücherplatz, built in 1822/25, was the seat of the ducal city commander. A special feature was the Citizen Guard set up in March 1848, which grew out of the old military organisation of flags. However, the idea of people's armament was lost again in the following flag corps. The military contingent to be provided by Mecklenburg-Schwerin in the German Confederation was strongly oriented towards Prussia, which led in 1868 to the integration into its army. The two battalions in Rostock belonged to the Grand Ducal Fusilier Regiment No. 90 according to the count used from then on. 1876 the garrison hospital was built for the regiment in St.-Georg-Straße, 1890 the barracks in Ulmenstraße were completed (thus the previous quarters were no longer needed), 1914 the machine gun company moved into the barracks in Ulmenstraße. The First World War represented a considerable burden for the population who remained at home, in particular the supply and welfare issues required a great deal of administrative effort. The Warnemünde airfield on Hohe Düne, which had been built since 1913 with the support of the Reichsmarineamt, was used by a seaplane experimental command during the war. In 1919 the Füsilier Regiment No. 90 was demobilized and a battalion of the Infantry Regiment No. 5 of the Reichswehr moved into Rostock as a garrison. In 1935, the Schützen- and Artilleriekaserne for now two battalions of the infantry regiment no. 27 of the Wehrmacht were built in the western city expansion area.

Overview: Until 1812, the responsibility for the city buildings lay with the city treasury, because it ultimately had to pay the costs for construction and maintenance. The municipal building yard with the necessary material and equipment was administered by the building clerk, as specialists city masons, city carpenters and tower coverers stood in the service of the council. Since the beginning of the 19th century, this structure has been the subject of criticism. The starting point was a revision of the expenditure of the city treasury, which was found to be too high. After visiting the city buildings, the Hundertmännerkollegium was of the opinion that many buildings urgently needed repair. The repairs carried out could have been carried out more cheaply if more expertise had been given to carrying out the tasks and supervision had been better exercised. Finally, in January 1812, an independent building department was formed, which, however, remained part of the Kassendepartement and only since 1854 appears in the lists of authorities as an independent building authority. The building department or building authority was led collegially by a member of the council - he bore the name Director - and four civil deputies. An instruction of 1830 named the responsibilities for the municipal buildings, as far as these were not in combing, weight, poor order or other administrative branches. The responsibility extended to the city, the suburbs and the city field mark, to the port and shipping facilities on the beach and the Warnow as well as to Warnemünde. As officials, the instruction named the building scribe, the carpenter, the excavator master and the crane supervisor. A foreman worked in Warnemünde on a fee basis. The fact that the position of port master carpenter was replaced by that of city master builder in 1835 indicates a change in the emphasis of the work. The planned expansion of the port and the new regulation of the Warnow, made a division of tasks necessary in 1885. The city master builder took over the building construction department, the port construction director the electricity and port construction departments as well as sewage and road construction. Overall, the demands placed on urban construction have increased enormously. The growth of the town required planning services for the new residential areas in front of the Kröpeliner Tor, the Steintor, the Mühlentor and the Petritor. Before the First World War, the Council's Urban Expansion Committees became the most important advisory body on urban development issues. With regard to the construction work, the city was responsible for the necessary development and road construction work, but it also had to create public buildings (e.g. hospitals, schools, municipal theatres) and utilities (gas works, waterworks, power station) in order to secure the community's existence. During the Weimar Republic, combating housing shortages became a central issue. It was not until 1925 that significant progress was made here through the continuation of urban expansion towards the west. The building police regulations for all buildings in the city were initially characterized primarily by the requirements for fire safety. Individual regulations touched half-timbered structures, thatched roofs, wooden gables, tarred roofing felt or chimneys. The regulations for Warnemünde (1848, 1908), for the Kämmerei and hospital area as well as for Rostock, the suburbs and the Stadtfeldmark (1894, 1929) were summarised in extensive building regulations. In Rostock, the Kämmerei was initially responsible for enforcing these regulations, in Warnemünde the Gewett. In 1899 a building police department was set up at the police station, which took over the building supervision for Rostock. After a reorganization, the building supervision was transferred to the building authorities in 1935. Publications: Dehn, Gustav: Organisation des Stadt-Bauamtts, Bauwesens, in: Festschrift der XXVI.

Overview: Based on the need for conviviality, science and education, the citizens of Rostock began to form associations at the end of the 18th century. Until the middle of the 19th century. At the end of the 19th century, the Gemeinnützige Gesellschaft (1780), Societät (1794), Patriotischer Verein (1798), Naturforschende Gesellschaft (1800), Bibelgesellschaft (1816), Philomatische Gesellschaft (1819), Gewerbeverein (1835), Verschönerungsverein (1836), Union of Merchants (1837), Ärztlicher Verein (1840), Kunstverein (1841), Gartenbauverein (1853), Seidenbauverein (1858) and Männnerturnverein (1860) were founded. The further flourishing of the modern association system was closely linked to industrialisation, when people abandoned the rigid corporations that had shaped economic and social life until then. After the failed revolution of 1848, the right of association and assembly remained an important demand in the process of bourgeois emancipation. Especially the political parties, the associations for electoral reforms or workers' education were exposed to strong official repression. Nevertheless, the association system - primarily in the non-political sphere - underwent a powerful development and became a hallmark of bourgeois society. As in other cities, clubs for singing, sports, trade, mission, nursing, military, dance, sociable entertainment, science and much more were founded in Rostock. If these associations wanted to change their legal status from a mere society to a legal entity, the Council gave them corporate rights. Despite protests by the state government, Rostock claimed this state legal act for itself on the basis of its privileges. With the introduction of the Civil Code (1900), the Council had to grant this power to the State alone. From then on, the courts kept the register of associations. The Reichsvereinsgesetz of 19 April 1908 put the law on associations on a new, modern basis. An adaptation of the law that was long overdue, because the German Empire had existed since 1871 and the associations had become more differentiated since that time. The Rostock address book of 1908 registered a total of 141 organisations in the most diverse categories: religious, charitable and support associations, non-profit associations, patriotic, political and municipal associations, civil servants' associations, military associations, commercial, industrial, trade and crafts associations, associations for agriculture, fishing and animal husbandry, associations for science and art, stenographers' associations, music and singing associations, sports associations, good temple lodges and convivial associations. In her work, there were many points of contact with the Council. Requests for support, events, celebrations, celebrations, anniversaries, conferences and meetings could be reasons for the associations and federations to turn to the Council. In addition, there are inquiries outside of Rostock, partly with similar concerns, but also with requests for support in the erection of monuments. The City of Rostock's membership in associations and organisations was also reflected in the files. Publications: Kohfeldt, Gustav: From the history of older associations and societies in Rostock 1.

Überblick: In der Zeit von 1933 bis 1945 unterlag die Stadtverwaltung den tief greifenden Umwälzungen der nationalsozialistischen Herrschaft. Nach gesetzlich sanktionierten und von der NSDAP forcierten "politischen Säuberungen" wurde die Stadtverordnetenversammlung 1933 zunächst rein formal auf der Grundlage der Reichstagswahlergebnisse neu zusammengesetzt. Parallel dazu wurden politisch unzuverlässige Mitarbeiter aus der Stadtverwaltung entlassen und zum großen Teil durch NSDAP-Mitglieder ersetzt.
Die ab dem 1. April 1935 gültige Deutsche Gemeindeordnung führte das Führerprinzip auf kommunaler Ebene ein. Ein nicht gewählter, von oben eingesetzter Oberbürgermeister übernahm fortan die alleinige Leitung der Stadtgeschäfte. Ihm waren ein Bürgermeister ("Erster Beigeordneter") und 10 haupt- und ehrenamtliche Stadträte ("Beigeordnete") mit lediglich beratender Funktion zugeordnet. Der bisherige Oberbürgermeister Dr. Robert Grabow rückte als Bürgermeister an die zweite Stelle, das Amt des Stadtoberhauptes übernahm der NSDAP-Aktivist Walter Volgmann. An die Stelle der Stadtverordnetenversammlung traten 30 Ratsherren ("Gemeinderäte") - ebenfalls als beratendes Gremium -, die von der NSDAP für 6 Jahre berufen wurden. Außerdem wurden zur beratenden Mitwirkung für bestimmte Verwaltungszweige Beiräte gebildet, die sich aus Ratsherren und "Sachkundigen Bürgern" zusammensetzten. Ein Beauftragter der NSDAP übte die politische Aufsicht und Kontrolle über die Stadtverwaltung aus und hatte ein entscheidendes Mitspracherecht in Personalfragen.
Bedingt durch die neuen wirtschaftlichen und gesellschaftspolitischen Ziele erweiterten sich die Aufgabenfelder und es kam in der Verwaltung zu umfangreichen Umstrukturierungen und Neueinrichtungen, insbesondere auf den Gebieten der Polizei, dem Sport-, Kultur- und Bildungswesen, dem Gesundheitswesen und der Jugenderziehung. Die Stadt errichtete und unterhielt nationalsozialistische Einrichtungen, wie die Unterkünfte von Reichsarbeitsdienst, der Hitlerjugend und dem Bund deutscher Mädel, subventionierte die NSDAP-Kreisleitung und finanzierte den Bau und die Gestaltung von Aufmarschgeländen. Prägend wirkte sich Aufrüstung und Kriegszeit aus. Die drei Großbetriebe - Ernst-Heinkel-Flugzeugwerke, Arado-Flugzeugwerke und Neptunwerft - verhalfen der Stadt nicht nur zu wirtschaftlichem Aufschwung, sondern beeinflussten auch maßgeblich den Bevölkerungszuwachs, den Ausbau des Verkehrsnetzes und den Wohnungsbau.
In der Kriegszeit konzentrierten sich die Aufgaben der Stadtverwaltung zunehmend auf die Sicherstellung der Grundbedürfnisse. Zur Überwachung und Verteilung von Lebens- und Genussmitteln wurde ein Ernährungsamt, zur Regelung der Verbrauchsgüterwirtschaft ein Wirtschaftsamt eingerichtet. Um die Familien Wehrmachtsangehöriger zu unterstützen, wurde die Abteilung Sonderfürsorge gebildet. Die Zahl der Arbeitskräfte hatte sich infolge ihrer Entsendung an die Front, ihrer Abordnung in die besetzten Gebiete und durch Kriegsereignisse erheblich reduziert. Nur ein geringer Teil des männlichen Personals konnte durch eine "Unabkömmlichkeitsstellung" im Dienst verbleiben. Der infolge der Bombenangriffe verschärften Wohnungsnot versuchte die Stadtverwaltung durch Zuteilung von Wohnraum, d.h. auch durch Zwangszuweisungen u.ä., entgegenzutreten. Ein Kriegsschädenamt wurde mit der Bearbeitung aller mittel- und unmittelbar durch Kriegseinwirkungen hervorgerufenen Schadensfälle betraut.

Overview: The beginnings of modern associations date back to the 17th and 18th centuries. Language societies, science academies and newly flourishing Freemason lodges emerged, which pursued the claim to have an educational and educational effect. The economic and intellectual development of other circles was ensured by non-profit societies, reading societies, patriotic associations and societies. In Rostock this club life began towards the end of the 18th century. A charitable society can be traced back to 1780. The Patriotic Association, founded in 1798, was mainly dedicated to the promotion of agriculture. The Societät (since 1794) and the Klub (since 1796) wanted to offer their members reading, playing and entertainment opportunities. The Society of Natural Scientists was formed in 1800 and the Philomatic Society in 1819. There were also several reading societies. The actual time of the association's foundation, however, only began with the revival of political life, especially community life, in the 1930s and 1940s. As in other cities, clubs for singing and gymnastics, for trade, for mission and nursing, for beautification of the city, election reform, worker education, dance and social entertainment were founded in Rostock during this time. Although most of the associations had a short life and little importance, in their totality they shaped the cultural life of the city. The larger associations and societies had an important and over decades consolidated position. During the war in the 19th and 20th centuries, military associations as well as support associations and foundations for soldiers were formed. The associations experienced massive restrictions in their freedom during the period of National Socialism. Numerous associations and societies were banned and dissolved or united under the umbrella of National Socialist imperial associations. Under the title "Vereine, Leichen- und Witwenkassen, Veranstaltungen, Jubiläen" ("Associations, Corpse and Widow's Box Offices, Events, Anniversaries"), the collection comprises material from various origins, areas and epochs. A directory compiled by the town archivist Ernst Dragendorff indicates that the holdings - as a collection - were already established at the end of the 19th, beginning of the 20th century. The numerous programmes, newspaper clippings, posters, printed statutes and annual reports are the result of systematic collecting activities. There are also documents from provenance-related collections, in particular from the estates of archivists Karl Koppmann and Ludwig Krause, the mayor Magnus Maßmann, the chemical manufacturer Friedrich Witte and the school councillor Erich Stegemann, or from the council collection. In individual cases, the documents in question are actually from the provenance of associations or societies. Some of the association files originally included in the holdings (provenance holdings) were separated in the GDR period (Rostocker Kunstverein) or assigned to existing provenance holdings (Schützenkompanie). The collection Neue Heimat - Gemeinnützige Wohnungs- und Siedlungsgesellschaft der Deutschen Arbeitsfront im Gau Mecklenburg GmbH was spun off in 2006 and classified in the trade and economy group according to the tectonics of the archive.

Überblick: Karl Ernst Hermann Krause (geb. 10.9.1822, gest. 28.5.1892), legte 1845 an der Universität Göttingen sein Staatsexamen in Philologie, Geschichte, Geographie und Mathematik ab. Nachdem er für kurze Zeit aushilfsweise seinen ersten Unterricht in einer Bürgerklasse des Progymnasiums seiner Heimatstadt Northeim übernommen hatte, wechselte er an das Gymnasium in Göttingen. 1846 ging er an die Ritterakademie in Lüneburg. Neben seiner Lehrtätigkeit widmete sich Krause dem Erforschen der Heideflora, geschichtlichen Studien und der Beschäftigung mit der Muttersprache, insbesondere dem Mittelniederdeutschen. Darüber hinaus wirkte er als Schriftführer des Lüneburger Bürgervereins und Mitredakteur des oppositionellen Blattes "Vorwärts". Als die Lüneburger Ritterakademie 1850 aufgelöst wurde, erfolgte Krauses Versetzung an das Gymnasium in Stade. Dort rückte er zum Ersten Konrektor auf. 1855 veröffentlichte er eine "Kurze hochdeutsche Sprachlehre" und lieferte Beiträge für das Deutsche Wörterbuch (Gebrüder Grimm) und das Niederdeutsche Wörterbuch (Kosegarten). 1857 beteiligte er sich an der Gründung des Vereins für Geschichte und Altertümer der Herzogtümer Bremen und Verden und des Landes Hardeln zu Stade, wurde Schriftführer und Archivar des Vereins und gab das "Archiv" heraus, zu dem er selbst eine Reihe von Arbeiten beisteuerte. Er war ein aktives Mitglied der Nationalliberalen Partei und schrieb regelmäßig Beiträge für verschiedene regionale Tageszeitungen. Nach dem frühen Tod seiner ersten Ehefrau Johanna geb. Wyneken heiratete er 1857 deren Schwester Henriette. 1865 wurde Krause als Direktor der Großen Stadtschule nach Rostock berufen. Dieses Amt übte er bis zu seinem Tod 1892 aus. Auch in Rostock setzte er seine geschichtlichen Studien fort. In Anerkennung seiner Verdienste um die niederdeutsche Sprachforschung und die hansische Geschichte verlieh ihm die Rostocker Universität 1880 die Ehrendoktorwürde. Bald nach seiner Übersiedlung aus Stade trat er dem Verein für mecklenburgische Geschichte und Altertumskunde bei und 1883 dem Verein für Rostocks Altertümer, den er mitbegründet hatte und dessen stellvertretender Vorsitzender er bis Ende 1891 blieb. Außerdem gehörte er zu den Mitbegründern des Hansischen Geschichtsvereins in Lübeck 1870. Er arbeitete an der Allgemeinen Deutschen Biographie und den Jahresberichten der Geschichtswissenschaft mit und lieferte zahlreiche Beiträge zur mecklenburgischen und hansischen Geschichte sowie zur niederdeutschen Sprachforschung für die "Rostocker Zeitung". Dem Verein für niederdeutsche Sprachforschung gehörte er seit Gründung 1874 an und war von 1884 bis zu seinem Tod Vorsitzender des Vereins. Von seinen Naturstudien zeugen etliche zoologische und botanische Arbeiten. Auch bei seinen drei Söhnen vermochte Krause großes Interesse an Naturkunde, Geschichte und Archäologie zu erwecken. Bereits als Schüler zeichneten sie ihre Beobachtungen und Forschungsergebnisse akribisch in Tagebüchern auf.
Ernst Hans Ludwig (1859-1942) war im Anschluss an seine Promotion 1881 bis 1904 als Marine-Militärarzt und zuletzt als Reservelazarettdirektor zu Rastatt in Baden tätig. Schon in seiner Jugendzeit hegte er eine Vorliebe für die Beschäftigung mit der Botanik (Tagebücher seit 1876). Außerdem legte er eine Schmetterlingssammlung von Macrolepidoptera an. Seit 1904 lehrte er als Dozent und seit 1919 als Professor für Botanik an der Rostocker Universität. Er hinterließ zahlreiche Veröffentlichungen über die Flora Rostocks und Mecklenburgs. Seine Pflanzensammlung bildet einen Schwerpunkt im Herbarium Rostochiense der Rostocker Universität.
Ludwig Johann Eduard (1863-1924), von seiner Familie und von Freunden auch "Muck" genannt, studierte zunächst in Göttingen und Rostock Jura. Für das Studium brachte er jedoch nicht die gleiche Leidenschaft auf wie für seine naturkundlichen, prähistorischen und kulturhistorischen Neigungen. Nach misslungenem Referendarexamen ließ er sich exmatrikulieren und trat in die Vaterländische Feuerversicherungssozietät ein. Dort arbeitete er bis 1906, zuletzt als Stellvertreter des Direktors. Nach dem Tod der Mutter (1906) lebte er mit seiner Schwester Johanna in einer gemeinsamen Wohnung. 1907 wurde Ludwig Krause neben Ernst Dragendorff zweiter Archivar im Rostocker Stadtarchiv. Seit 1915 betreute er nebenamtlich das landständische Archiv und die damit verbundene Bibliothek. Als ihn der Engere Ausschuss der mecklenburgischen Ritter- und Landschaft im Jahr 1917 zum Landesarchivar ernannte, übernahm er dieses Amt hauptberuflich. Die nationale Lage nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg und die Sorge um das ihm anvertraute Kulturgut verdüsterten jedoch seine Gedanken. Er und seine Schwester Johanna nahmen sich am 1.4.1924 das Leben. Ludwig Krause hinterließ zahlreiche Arbeiten zur Ur- und Frühgeschichte, Kulturgeschichte, Kunst, Genealogie, Militärgeschichte, Botanik und Zoologie. Von der enormen Vielfalt und Intensität seiner Forschungs- und Sammlungstätigkeit zeugen überdies seine naturwissenschaftlich-historischen Tagebücher 1877-1923 und die "Krausische Fundchronik".
Hermann August (1868-1935) wurde nach juristischem Examen 1897 Amtsrichter in Plau. Seit 1899 war er Vortragender Rat und zuletzt Ministerialdirektor im Schweriner Justizministerium.

Overview: On 1 May 1945 Rostock was occupied without a fight by the troops of the Red Army. To counter the threat of chaos, a group of Communists and Social Democrats contacted the front commander. The Ordnungskomitee, as the group called itself, published an announcement on 3 May 1945 calling on the population to maintain peace and order. On 5 May 1945, the Red Army ended the temporary Front Command Office. In his Order No. 1 of 5 May 1945, the city commander declared the NSDAP and its organizations, the entire state and administrative apparatus dissolved. On 9 May 1945 Christoph Seitz, who had come to Rostock with the Red Army as Front Commissioner, was introduced as the new Lord Mayor. In the weeks and months to come, the focus of our work was on restoring and safeguarding everyday life. The reconstruction of the city administration resulted in the dismissal of the majority of the employees, as they had belonged to the NSDAP. In order to be able to penetrate the city administratively, it was divided into 26 districts. The leading positions in the city administration, built under the control of the Soviet commandant, were occupied by Communists, Social Democrats and some bourgeois Democrats formed in the four admitted parties KPD, SPD, CDU and LDP. An important turning point in the democratic legitimacy of the new city administration was marked by the establishment of the City Committee on 18 December 1945, in which representatives of the parties acted in an advisory capacity. In February 1946, the military administration appointed Social Democrat Albert Schulz as the new mayor. Within the SPD, Schulz was among those who opposed the increasingly obvious intention to change the social and economic system in the spirit of Stalinist communism. The local self-government regained its democratic foundation in September 1946 through the "Democratic Community Constitution". The municipal constitution appointed the municipal council, which had emerged from secret, equal and direct elections, as the supreme organ of the city. The executive body for implementing the decisions should be the Council. The first free elections to the City Council took place on 15 September 1946. The municipal constitution as well as the constitution of the Land Mecklenburg adopted on 15 January 1947 had laid down the principle of municipal self-government, but under the given conditions the towns and municipalities could hardly bring this principle to life. The reconstruction of the society according to the Soviet model had serious consequences for the cities in the eastern occupation zone. The introduction of the state planned economy with the biennial plan of 1949/50 was associated with a far-reaching loss of financial independence for the cities. In addition, there was the elimination of economic independence. In the first half of 1949, all municipal service and utility companies as well as the real estate had to be combined into a special municipal utility company (KWU). The company was granted the status of an institution under public law, which was effectively removed from the local administration. The SED used the clashes over these measures to launch heavy attacks against the Lord Mayor Schulz, who resigned in August 1949 and fled to the West. His successor was the Lord Mayor of Greifswald, Max Burwitz (SED). As an important instrument for steering and controlling the other political forces, the SED systematically expanded the National Front as the umbrella organization of all parties and mass organizations from the beginning of 1950. The postponed elections to the City Council were held on 15 October 1950 for the first time under the sign of the National Front's Unity Lists. Due to a lack of alternatives, the result was clear from the outset. The administrative reform of 23 July 1952 was another important step towards aligning state forms with the model in the Soviet Union. With the formation of the 15 districts, the GDR eliminated the last remnants of federalism and made state centralism, declared "democratic", the lynchpin of the political system. The three districts of Rostock, Schwerin and Neubrandenburg emerged from the state of Mecklenburg. The city of Rostock became the seat of the newly formed council of the district. The integration of the communal level into the centralist system took place through the regulations adopted on 8 January 1953 by the Council of Ministers of the GDR on the structure and tasks of the municipal councils and district assemblies.

Überblick: Die Genealogische Sammlung des Archivs der Hansestadt Rostock ist nicht nur für den Familienforscher sondern für alle Historiker eine unersetzliche Quelle. Die Sammlung setzt sich aus drei Teilbeständen zusammen. Der erste davon ist eine in den 1920er bis 1940er Jahren von Robert Vietzens formierte Porträtsammlung. Der Sammlungsteil "Materialien zur Familien- und Personengeschichte" bietet genealogisch interessierten Benutzern Daten und Fakten zu diversen Rostocker Familien oder Personen. Dieser Bestand wurde in den 1990er Jahren auf der Basis interessanter Rechercheergebnisse gebildet und wird laufend ergänzt. Einen dritten und zugleich sehr bedeutenden Teilbestand der Genealogischen Sammlung bilden die Personalschriften. Hierzu gehören Leichenpredigten, Hochzeitsgedichte, Promotions- und Ratswahlgedichte.
Zeitraum: ca. 1875 - 1945 Umfang: 2,5 laufende Meter = 1.676 Fotos Erschließung: erschlossen und in die Datenbank eingegeben (1995) Zitierweise: AHR, 3.18.1. Nr. ... oder AHR, Porträtsammlung, Nr. ... Inhalt: Porträts von Rostocker Persönlichkeiten, größtenteils mit Lebensdaten, A-Z Überblick: Die Poträtsammlung geht auf Robert Vietzens zurück, der sie in den 1920er bis 1940er Jahren anlegte. Vietzens (geb. am 7. April 1896 in Rostock, gest. 26. Oktober 1951 in Rostock) erlernte den Beruf eines Kaufmannes. Im Ersten Weltkrieg erlitt er so schwere Verwundungen, dass er fortan schwer kriegsdienstgeschädigt war. Seine selbständige Handelsvertretung als Tabakwarengroßhändler gab er 1925 aus gesundheitlichen Gründen auf.
In dieser Zeit begann er vermutlich, die Porträtfotosammlung aufzubauen. Er befragte Rostocker Persönlichkeiten zu ihren Familien und zu ihrem Leben, hängte Texte mit den Lebensdaten bzw. kleinen Lebensläufen an die Fotos an. Eingang in seine Sammlung fanden neben stadtbekannten Persönlichkeiten aus Politik, Verwaltung, Kultur und Wirtschaft auch weniger in der Öffentlichkeit stehende Kaufleute, Ärzte, Apotheker, Pastoren, Handwerker.
Ab 1933 nahm Robert Vietzens in den Ernst-Heinkel-Flugzeugwerken eine Bürotätigkeit in der Verwaltung auf. Nach 1945 versuchte er sich als Schriftsteller, erarbeitete eine Fotodokumentation zum zerstörten Rostock.
Diese für die Rostocker Geschichte sehr wertvolle Sammlung wurde in den 1990er Jahren vom Universitätsarchiv an das Stadtarchiv übergeben und archivisch bearbeitet. Die Personen sind nach dem Familiennamen alphabetisch geordnet.
