As a controlling authority and deputy of the Prussian state authorities, he originally had a political position that was primarily observational and more representative. Like the governments, he was subordinate to the state ministries, but at the same time he was in charge of the governments and other intermediate authorities, and as the royal commissioner for the provincial parliament he was in charge of the representation of the estates. As a result of the administrative reforms from 1872 to 1883, his area of responsibility was extended to the entire internal provincial administration of the province, he was given state supervision via the Provincial Association, and in 1883 he was relieved of the office of President of the Magdeburg District. After the First World War and during National Socialism, the sovereign and police functions of the chief president in particular increased considerably; the authority developed into the middle instance of the Prussian state government (from 1932) and finally of the Reich government (from 1935). The self-administration of the province was effectively abolished as early as 1933 and its tasks and responsibilities were transferred to the Chief President. However, the connection between the Office of the High President and that of the NSDAP district leader, which was practised in the other provinces, did not take place. From 1933, the authority was divided into several departments, in particular: General Department, Provincial Council, Department of Secondary Education (Provincial Collegium), National Cultural Department (General Commission/ National Cultural Office), Waterway Directorate (Elbe River Construction Administration), Medical Court Committee and Inspector of the Ordnungspolizei. In spring 1944, the province of Saxony was dissolved; it was replaced by the provinces of Magdeburg and Halle-Merseburg with the Gauleiter of the NSDAP as chief presidents, and the Reich Governor in Thuringia became responsible for the administrative district of Erfurt. In the spring of 1944 the province was dissolved; it was replaced by the provinces of Magdeburg and Halle-Merseburg with the district leaders of the NSDAP as chief presidents, for the administrative district of Erfurt the Reich Governor in Thuringia became responsible. In August 1945, the Magdeburg upper presidium was transferred to the new provincial government as "Der Präsident der Provinz Sachsen, Abwicklungsstelle Magdeburg" (The President of the Province of Saxony, Magdeburg Settlement Office); the settlement office existed until June 1946. Inventory information: The collection was transferred to the Magdeburg State Archives in several deliveries between the end of the 19th century and 1950. It was divided into various registry layers, which were structured around 1968 to the subsets C 20 I Chief President, General Division to C 20 XiX Chief President, Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Security Police.

Description of the holdings: The Thuringian Ministry of the Interior in Weimar was established by law on 3 December 1920. It was united with the Ministry of Economics in March 1924 to form the Ministry of the Interior and the Economy, but in November 1928 it was separated from this union again. In 1936 the Ministry of the Interior was directly subordinated to the Reich Governor. It now bore the name "Der Reichsstatthalter in Thüringen - Der Staatssekretär und Leiter des Thüringischen Ministeriums des Innern" and remained in existence until June 1945. The Ministry was initially divided into six business departments. After the administrative reform of 1930, it consisted of the business departments listed below. The latest status of the business structure is decisive for the order of the files. A: General affairs; also responsible for surveying, also since 1930 for commercial police, until 1936 for fire-fighting, 1930 to 1938 for personnel matters, 1935 to 1939 for registry office supervision, since 1936 for homeland protection, nature conservation and monument preservation B: Construction police; road construction until 1933 C: housing and settlement 1931 to 1933; road construction since 1933 D: Gemeinde- und Kreisangelegenheiten D/Fin: Community finances: F: Veterinary affairs since 1938 G: Personnel since 1938 I: Inspector of the Ordnungspolizei since 1938 P: Police; also responsible for fire-fighting since 1936 W: Military service department since 1935. Since 1939 the Ministry had been affiliated with the then established State Food Office, Dept. B, which was responsible not only for the war nutrition of the state of Thuringia, but also of the Prussian administrative district of Erfurt and the Prussian district of Schmalkalden. In June 1945 a state office was formed for the internal administration. In 1946, after numerous shifts of responsibility, the Ministry of General Administration was founded, which was renamed the Ministry of the Interior in 1947. - The files delivered before 1945 have been lost due to the effects of war. The current stock was taken over in 1945, especially in 1951. Remarks: Under the leadership of the State Council of Thuringia, the state government worked from 1920 on with 7 departments, including the department of Internal Affairs. From this department the Thuringian Ministry of the Interior was formed on December 3, 1920, which was active until June 12, 1945. In the meantime it operated as the Department of the Interior of the Ministry of the Interior and Economy (8 March 1924 - 3 November 1928). The tradition reflects the performance of tasks in the areas of state administration and sovereignty, roads, municipal and district affairs, welfare and health care, veterinary affairs, personnel, police and military affairs. The collection contains files, in particular for the healthcare sector (pharmacies) and for the foundations, some of which date back as far as the 17th and 19th centuries respectively. These files were kept at the authorities of the Thuringian individual states (except Saxony-Coburg) and from 1920 onwards continued by the Ministry of the Interior. The collection also contains ministerial files from the period after 1945, which are continued by an incosseous inventory formation. Similarly, the collection "Land Thüringen - Ministerium des Innern" contains files concerning events from the period from 1920 to 1945. The traditional personnel files for the ministry are located in the "Personnel data from the area of internal affairs".
