The Intendantur was a military administrative authority whose task was to provide the troops with material supplies other than weapons and ammunition. Each army corps originally had a corps directorate divided into 4 sections, the divisions had a division directorate. The Corps Directorate was headed by a Corps Director who was directly subordinate to the Military Economics Department of the War Ministry. In turn, he was in charge of the divisional directorates. With regard to military command, the corps directorships were subordinated to the commanding generals of the army corps. During the mobilization, the General Directorate of the General Command of the XIV Army Corps joined the General Command of the XIV Army Corps in the field and was replaced by the Deputy General Directorate of the General Command of the General Command of the XIV Army Corps. The business area of the Directorate was divided into 5 departments. In addition, there was the management as well as a construction and legal department. The responsibilities of the individual departments were very heterogeneous. The following structure therefore only shows the most important areas of responsibility. Department I Budget, cost and cash management, audit of annual accounts Salary matters Department II Natural food department, fortress construction matters, procurement and transfer of the need for natural produce, management and supervision of the magazine administrations, personnel matters of the magazine officials, stage catering matters, structural maintenance of the magazine buildings, audit of the accounting of the fortress construction funds Department III Clothing matters, matters of the train, matters from the military education, Education, Remonteangelegenheiten, Invalidenwesen department IV Garnisonverwaltungsangelegenheiten, structural maintenance of the hospital buildings, determination of the land compensation funds department V Lazarettabteilung, Krankenfürsorgeangelegenheiten (before 1890 was responsible for it department IV), Sicherstellung of the medicine need, Invalidenpensionsangelegenheiten, accountancy in Lazarettangelegenheiten An important component are also the numerous blueprints for military buildings.<br /><br />Environmental history: After the end of the war, the files of the Directorate remained with the General Command of the XIV Army Corps. The establishment of a corps archive began in January 1920. In autumn 1920 the corps archive moved to the infantry barracks in Heilbronn. From January 1921, the Corps Archives entered the portfolio of the Reich Ministry of the Interior under the name Aktenverwaltung XIV, before being incorporated into the Reichsarchiv in Potsdam as the Heilbronn archive branch on April 1, 1921. As a result of the merger of the Heilbronn and Stuttgart branches of the Reich Archives, the holdings were transferred to Stuttgart in 1924. The Württembergische Archivdirektion, which took over the administration of the holdings of the Heeresarchiv Stuttgart after the end of the Second World War, handed over the records of the XIV Army Corps to the Generallandesarchiv Karlsruhe between 1947 and 1949. A very detailed inventory history is contained in the preface of the Deputy General Command of the XIV Army Corps (fonds 456 F 8). The holdings comprise 1583 archive units with a circumference of 28 linear metres.<br /><br />literature references: Die Badener im Weltkrieg 1914/1918, edited by Wilhelm Müller-Loebnitz, Karlsruhe 1935.
