Preliminary note from 1966: The files listed in this repertory were transferred to the Archives of the Interior by the Ministry of the Interior in 1896 on the occasion of a reorganization of the ministerial registry (supplements 1897, 1903, 1906). As a remedy for the find, the extensive handover directory created according to the registry categories was used, even after the Archive of the Interior was merged with the State Branch Archive (since 1938: State Archive) in Ludwigsburg. since there was no prospect of repertorisation by an academic official in the foreseeable future, archive employee I. Müller, under the direction of the undersigned, was commissioned in 1962 with a more detailed indexing of the holdings. This work will continue over a longer period of time and will be reflected in numerous repertory volumes. Parallel to the new indexing, which retains the previous structure of the holdings, the files are repackaged and the completed repertory volumes are indexed by a complete register of places and persons. After completion of the indexing work, this register, which until then had only been kept in concept, is to be added to the entire repertory as a final volume. 2,510 old sets of files on 216 linear metres are to be found in the holdings. The present first volume contains 113 bundles (= now 690 tufts) with a volume of 11 m. Ludwigsburg, December 1966Dr. A. Seiler Retrokonversion und weitere Erschließung: The present find book represents the end product of decades of development work which was begun in 1962 by the archivist Irma Müller under the guidance of Dr. Alois Seiler. The work was initially continued until 1976 by Gerhard Rukwied, Rainer Trunk, Heinrich Graf and Regina Glatzle. Up to this key year, the number of 10 repertory volumes was reached, which comprise the alphabetically ordered categories from replacement matters to trade and commerce. Due to worsening personnel resources, the work had to be interrupted for a long period of time and was only resumed at the end of the 1990s by Franz Moegle-Hofacker in cooperation with numerous legal trainees and archive inspector candidates. After a change of responsibility as a result of the reorganisation of the archive administration in Baden-Württemberg in the course of the administrative reform in 2005, the undersigned took on the lead for the further indexing work, in which archive employee Julian Schulenburg was also involved. With regard to the official history of the Württemberg Ministry of the Interior, reference is made to the printed overview of the holdings of the Hauptstaatsarchiv Stuttgart (e-stocks) and the online overview of the holdings as well as the forewords of the holdings E 151/01 ff. A list of the interior ministers of Württemberg, which was not included there, can be found in the appendix. Because of the many editors and the long development period, a complete homogeneity of the overall find book could not be achieved. However, due to the partially complex nature of the documents, the title recordings contained in the previous finding aids were post-processed, increasingly for the purpose of applying more recent archival indexing principles, in particular ISAD (G) level indexing. In order to be able to properly depict the registry relationships, the classification scheme used in the ministry until 1922 was retained as a structure, whereby some very large categories were subdivided into sub-categories. Since the duration of the stock ends in 1906, no overlapping of different file plans had to be feared here. This practice should also be taken into account for the future archival indexing of the holdings E 141 and E 150, of which so far only very summary handwritten finding aids have been available. 10 earlier repertory volumes were retroconverted for the online version of the complete find book by the temporary employees Silvia Ebinger and Aurelia Varsami, and were structurally and in individual cases also linguistically revised by the undersigned. The indexing proved to be particularly elaborate, whereby numerous persons mentioned in the inventory only with surnames had to be identified as far as possible on the basis of relevant literature (see below). The administrative affiliation of the individual locations is now listed in the location index, no longer in the individual title recordings. In particular, the system has been continuously changed to new spelling. In the course of the registration work Regina Eberhardt professionally packaged the entire inventory, which comprises 10181 tufts of approx. 244 linear metres of shelving.Literature: Heinrich Ihme, Südwestdeutsche Persönlichkeiten, 3 volumes, Stuttgart 1988Frank Raberg, Biographisches Handbuch der württembergischen Landtagsabgeordneten 1815 - 1933, Stuttgart 2001The Heads of the Oberämter, Bezirksämter und Landkreise in Baden-Württemberg 1810 - 1972 Published by the Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Kreisarchive beim Landkreistag Baden-Württemberg, Stuttgart 1996 2nd nationality mark: A]Austria [AL]Albania [B]Belgium [BG]Bulgaria [BY]Belarus] Cuba [CDN]Canada [CH]Switzerland [CZ]Czech Republic [DK]Denmark [DZ]Algeria [E]Spain [ET]Egypt [F]France [UK]Great Britain and Northern Ireland [GR]Greece [GUY]Guyana [H]Hungary [HR]Croatia [I]Italy [IL]Israel [IRL]Ireland [J]Japan [L]Luxembourg [LV]Latvia [M]Malta [MA]Morocco [MAL]Malaysia MEX]Mexico [N]Norway [NL]Netherlands [PE]Peru [PL]Poland [PRI]Puerto Rico [RA]Argentina [RCH]Chile [RL]Lebanon [RO]Romania [RUS]Russia [S]Sweden [SK]Slovakia [SLO]Slovenia [SN]Senegal [SRB]Serbia [SUD]Sudan [TN]Tunisia [TR]Turkey [UA]Ukraine [USA]United States of America [ZA]South Africa 4.

Preliminary remark: With the foundation of the German Reich in January 1871 and the establishment of the Foreign Office as an imperial institution, the powers of the Württemberg Ministry of Foreign Affairs were severely restricted and most Württemberg missions abroad were dissolved in the following years. However, through official correspondence with various institutions of the North German Confederation and later of the German Reich, numerous documents were gathered from which the present holdings were formed. This consists of the following parts:E 36 Verz. F (only one file)E 46 "B[andes] A[ngelegenheiten]", formerly Bü 251 - 590 und 1265 - 1266 (m. L.)E 49 Verz. 3 "B[andes] A[ngelegenheiten]"E 49 Verz. 22, rubrics "Bundesr[at]" and "Reich "A detailed history of the ministry can be found in the preface to fonds E 40/10, to which reference is made here.Since the North German Federation, like the Second German Reich, was already dominated by Prussia, the year 1866, in which the German Federation was finally dissolved and Austria's supremacy in Germany ended, appeared as a suitable border year for the General Acts on General Foreign Policy. In the end, the collection reaches back to the time of the early Weimar Republic, since a border year of 1918 became superfluous due to the dissolution of the ministry in 1920. The documents cover all general matters concerning the North German Federation (from 1867) and the German Reich (from 1871). This also includes the files concerning the imperial legations and consulates, which partially replaced the Württemberg missions abroad (cf. holdings E 50/00 - E 50/61 as well as E 65 - E 75). However, the documents concerning relations with the individual German federal states are not included in the inventory. Since here a considerable number of files chronologically exceed the "cut-off year" 1866/67 on both sides, a separation did not seem to make sense here. Questions of territory with the neighbouring states of Württemberg for the period of the early Kingdom of Württemberg are to be found in inventory E 40/11 (acquisitions of territory from 1806 onwards), later smaller border clearings and general foreign policy relations with the other German federal states in inventory E 40/14. The section "German Affairs 1866 - 1871", in which the ministerial tradition of the emergence of the Second German Empire and in particular the wars waged in the run-up to it (German War 1866 and Franco-German War 1870/71) is located, was again completely added to inventory E 40/72 (war matters and military matters), since here the political and military aspects are extremely closely interlinked. Numerous other documents on Württemberg's relations with Prussia, the North German Federation, its position as the federal state of the German Reich and its involvement in federal affairs within the framework of the Bundesrat are kept in inventory E 74 (Württemberg Embassy in Berlin), since the respective Württemberg envoy in Berlin was at the same time also authorized representative to the Bundesrat. In these cases, it is therefore possible to speak in part of a counter tradition to the existing stock, which now comprises 841 tufts or 16.30 linear metres of shelving. Most of the title recordings were made by Dr. Kurt Hochstuhl at the end of the 1990s. The final editorial office was provided by the undersigned.

Preliminary remark: This collection comprises documents of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the general and interdepartmental foreign policy of Württemberg with regard to non-German states in Europe and the rest of the world. This also includes the Empire of Austria (-Hungary), which already owned large non-German territories when it was founded in 1804/06 and which left Germany completely after the war against Prussia in 1866. Documents on the remaining states of the Confederation of the Rhine, the German Confederation and the German Empire from 1871 onwards - including Prussia (as a whole) - were to a large extent assigned to holdings E 40/14, while those on the Reichsland Alsace-Lorraine in the period 1871 - 1918 are again to be found in holdings E 40/16. The holdings essentially consist of the following parts:E 36 Verz. 60: Relevant parts of the categories "France" and "Austria "E 41 Verz. 63: Category "Different States" with sub-categories, if they are non-German statesE 46 (Categories by States)E 49 Verz. 21 and 22 (Categories by States)E 49 Supplement 1938A detailed history of the authorities of the Ministry can be found in the preface to fonds E 40/10, to which reference is made here.the country categories correspond to the composition of the world of states in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Numerous Italian small and medium-sized states, for example, are found as predecessors of the Kingdom of Italy for the first half of the 19th century as separate categories. Documents on the colonial possessions of various European states can be found both under the heading of the motherland and under their own headings (Australia, South Africa), but for reasons of content not all documents filed under the "country headings" were classified in the holdings E 40/14 or E 40/18. If the files did not contain any general political or interdepartmental matters, they were classified in the holdings E 40/54 - E 40/78. Dr. Kurt Hochstuhl began the formation and archival cataloguing of the holdings, which was later continued by the undersigned. The newly formed stock now comprises 540 tufts or 6.21 linear metres of shelving.

Preliminary remark: The present collection E40/11 contains documents of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the Württemberg territorial acquisitions from 1806 onwards and the associated general foreign policy as well as a few documents from the period from 1806 onwards concerning earlier Württemberg acquisitions. It is composed of the following sections:Relevant parts of the section "Rheinbund" E 36 Verz. 1 "Occupations" from E 36 Verz. 2 "Mergentheimer Okkupation" from E 36 Verz. 3 "Günzburg" from E 36 Verz. 9Single parts from the sections "Baden", "Bavaria", "Würzburg" and "Hohenzollern" from E 36 Verz. 60 "Deutschorden", "Johanniter-Orden" from E 41 Verz. 64A detailed history of the authorities of the Ministry can be found in the preface to Bestand E 40/10, to which reference is made at this point. The list, structured purely by territorial subject, included documents on the acquisitions of territory by Württemberg and the other central southern German states after 1803/06 as well as on general and special foreign policy. The majority of the holdings contain documents from the early period of the Kingdom of Württemberg up to about 1820. Later documents were only drawn on E 40/11 if there was a clear reference to the preceding territories of Neuwürttemberg. Documents on territorial acquisitions, border issues and related treaties can also be found in the following holdings:E 40/14: Ministry of Foreign Affairs, General Foreign Policy: Confederation of the Rhine, German Confederation and individual federal statesE 63/7: Commissions for the Execution of State Treaties with BavariaE 63/8: Commission for the Dispute of German Order MattersE 63/9: Commissions for the Execution of State Treaties with BadenThe new holdings now include 1456 tufts with 18.0 linear metres.

Preliminary remark: This collection contains documents of the Württemberg Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the Württemberg legation in Munich. A more detailed historical account of the Württemberg legation or the consulate in Munich is contained in the preliminary remark to the holdings E 75 (Württemberg legation in Munich), which forms the counterpart to E 50/05. The holdings were formed by Kurt Hochstuhl from the relevant documents of the earlier holdings E 41 (Verz. 64), E 46, E 49 (Verz. 22), E 70, E 71 and E 73, who also edited the title recordings. The transfer of the title recordings into ScopeArchive and the creation of an online-capable finding aid was done by the undersigned. The total volume of the new stock now comprises 270 tufts or 6.6 linear metres of shelving.

Preliminary remark: This collection contains documents of the Württemberg Ministry of Foreign Affairs on the Württemberg legations in Florence and Rome. Only a small part of these documents is related to the legation to the Kingdom of Italy, but mainly to the legation to the Papal States, to which the city of Rome belonged until 1870. A more comprehensive historical account of the two legations and the Württemberg consulate in Rome is contained in the preliminary remarks to the holdings E 70 d (Württemberg legation in Italy) and E 70 r (Württemberg consulate in Rome), which form the counter tradition. The holdings were formed by Kurt Hochstuhl from the relevant documents of the earlier holdings E 70 and E 73, who also edited the title recordings. The transfer of the title recordings into ScopeArchive and the creation of an online-capable finding aid was done by the undersigned. The total volume of the new stock now comprises 47 tufts or 0.9 linear metres of shelving. Stuttgart, August 2007Johannes Renz

Preliminary remark: The documents in this inventory include the trade, commercial and customs matters directly concerning Württemberg as well as documents on the role of Württemberg in the German Customs Union. These include the individual sectors of the manufacturing industry, but also the banking sector. The inventory E 40/56 consists of the following registry headings: "Internal" for trade and industry from E 41 Verz. 63 and E 46 "Salt works" from E 46 and "Salt and salt industry" from E 41 Verz. 63 "Applications" for trade and industry" from E 41 Verz. 63 and E 49 Supplement 1938 "Zoll / Handel" from E 36 Verz. F In addition, there are some documents from E 36 Verz. 60 and E 41 Verz. 63, which were filed according to the country headings. In particular, further holdings of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs may be relevant for the areas listed below: Economic Policy, Trade and Commerce in the German Reich: E 40/16 Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Allgemeine Außenpolitik, Norddeutscher Bund, Deutsches Reich, Bundesrat und Bundesangelegenheiten 1866-1918Prints on trade and industry: E 40/37 Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Press matters, submission of printed works, copyrightState banking and finance: E 40/52 Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Public finances, real estate, statistics and topographyCommercial police: E 40/54 Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Police mattersWarfare economy: E 40/72 Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Kriegssachen und Militärangelegenheiten und E 74 Württembergische Gesandtschaft in BerlinHandelsschulen: E 40/74 Ministry of Foreign Affairs: Science, Culture, Church and School AffairsCommercial Legislation: E 40/76 Ministry of Foreign Affairs: JusticeThe majority of the title recordings were made by Dr. Kurt Hochstuhl at the end of the 1990s. Since the allocation of categories in the old lists was very inconsistent, so that further growth was always to be expected, the inventory was left for a longer period of time as a temporary solution and the completion of the finding aid book was waited until the completion of all title entries and their final allocation. The stock now comprises 531 tufts (4.4 m).Stuttgart, in February 2011Johannes Renz c) nationality mark: A]Austria [B]Belgium [BR]Brazil [CH]Switzerland [CHN]People's Republic of China [CZ]Czech Republic [DK]Denmark [E]Spain [EAT]Tanzania [F]France [UK]Great Britain and Northern Ireland [GR]Greece [H]Hungary [I]Italy [IRL]Ireland [J]Japan [JA]Jamaica [MEX]Mexico [NL]Netherlands [NL]Netherlands [PE]Peru [PL]Poland [RI]Indonesia [RUS]Russia [TR]Turkey [USA]United States of America

The Prussian legation to the Kingdom of Italy evolved from the Turin and Florence legations. After the Franco-Italian successes in the war against Austria, Tuscany was annexed by the Kingdom of Sardinia-Piedmont in 1859. As a result of the annexation of the kingdom of both Sicily, King Victor Emmanuel II was proclaimed King of Italy on 17 March 1861. The international recognition of the title was one of the main tasks of the king in the following years. This should be seen as part of the overall effort to unify Italy. Initially, the legation in Turin was responsible for representing Prussian interests in the Kingdom of Italy. The extraordinary envoy Willisen was replaced at the end of 1863 by Guido von Usedom, who had just been elevated to the rank of Count. Together with the court, Usedom moved from Turin to Florence on 13 June 1865, taking over the existing infrastructure of the former legation of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. His most historically significant news was the "Stoß-ins-Herz-Depesche" of 17 June 1866, published by the former Italian Prime Minister La Marmora in 1868. In it Usedom demanded the advance of Italian troops directly to Vienna (GStA PK, I. HA Rep. 81 Florence (Italy), No. 8, fol. 376-387). Due to a dispute with Prime Minister Bismarck, Usedom retired from office in 1869. Around this time, the legation in Florence hired its own pharmacist. His successor, Count von Brassier, took office on 1 January 1870 in the name of the North German Confederation. The last documents of the collection end in the autumn of 1870 with the relocation of the Italian capital to Rome as a result of the Franco-German war. The inventory allows only a few statements on the history of the authorities in the narrower sense, as it deals only with the political reports to the ministry and the decrees and copies of other legation reports sent by the ministry. Personnel and organizational files are not included in the inventory. Carl Schmitz, a merchant born in Stolberg near Aachen, offered the legation an open house for its official purposes. In return, he was first appointed agent and later consul.

On 28 July 1882, the German Foreign Office delivered 25 files of the former Royal Legations of Florence and Naples to the Prussian Secret State Archives, where they were classified as Repositur 81 Florence or Naples. The last major access took place in 1900 and the first inventory revision took place in October 1923. In 1943 the stock was transferred to the salt mines Staßfurt and Schönebeck as part of the I. Main Department, Repositur Gesandtschaften and Consulates. After the end of the war, Soviet troops confiscated the stock and transferred it to Moscow. It was not until 1955 that it was returned to the Merseburg Department of the German Central Archives. Further revisions took place here (1955 and 1986). The holdings were filmed in February 1962. It was not possible to find out more about the non-existence of the numbers 22 to 27 (political reports and correspondence up to the end of 1872) listed in the Altfindmittel. In 1923 they still existed, the revision of 1955 marked them as missing. It was not possible to identify any indications of an inventory delimitation with the Reich Archive or the Political Archive of the Federal Foreign Office. In the course of German reunification, the inventory of the I. HA Rep. 81 legations and consulates was returned to Berlin as part of the holdings of the Secret State Archives of Prussian Cultural Heritage in accordance with the Unification Treaty. They have been stored in the Westhafen magazine since 1993. In July 1990, the GStA PK acquired two letters, which in 2011 were assigned to the holdings Rep. 81 Florence/Italy (GStA PK, I. HA Rep. 81 Florence (Italy) after 1807, No. 22). In May and June 2011, the new indexing and creation of the finding aid was carried out by Archivassessor Dr. Andreas Becker. finding aids: database; finding aid book, 1 vol.

History of the Inventory Designer: Before the Second World War, four Kriegsmarinedienststellen (KMD) with headquarters in Hamburg, Bremen, Stettin and Königsberg were responsible for the provision of relief ships and personnel and the execution of troop and supply transports. During the war they were assigned branches on the German coast and in occupied foreign countries. In addition, special maritime transport services have been set up, each with its own head of maritime transport for the Aegean Sea, Norway, Italy and the Black Sea. These maritime transport services were each assigned a number of subordinate maritime transport points. There were other sea transport points in Finland, France and on the eastern Baltic Sea. Inventory description: In 1920, so-called offices of the navy management were formed in Königsberg, Stettin, Lübeck, Hamburg and Bremen, which were directly subordinated to the head of the sea transport department in the navy management. Tasks were the supervision of the coastal intelligence in cooperation with the command offices, as well as connection and switching to local places of the merchant shipping and organizations of the merchant navy. Through these services, the naval leadership was able to make camouflaged preparations for mobilization and influence all nautical issues concerning naval warfare and coastal defense. The tasks of the Lübeck office were taken over by the Hamburg office in 1928. In 1931 the offices were renamed Reichswehrdienststelle Hamburg (subordinated to Wehrkreis II) and Reichsmarinedienststellen Königsberg, Stettin and Bremen. On 4 July 1935 the Reichswehrdienststelle Hamburg and Reichsmarinedienststellen in Königsberg, Stettin and Bremen were renamed Kriegsmarinedienststellen (KMD). At the top of every KMD was a sea officer, in Hamburg in the rank of an admiral, in Bremen, Stettin and Königsberg in the rank of a captain at sea. The Kriegsmarinedienststellen were directly responsible to the Ob.d.M. for all technical and special tasks and in the personal affairs of the officials belonging to their area of command. In the other questions they were subordinated to the station commands of the North Sea (Hamburg and Bremen) and the Baltic Sea (Stettin and Königsberg). The second admirals could give instructions to the KMD for mob work. When the war began in September/October 1939, numerous branch offices were set up at the existing KMD, but they were all closed again by mid-1943. In March 1940 a new KMD was set up in Gdansk and the Navy Plenipotentiary in Gdansk was appointed Admiral of the KMD Gdansk. At the same time, KMD Königsberg was dissolved and converted into a branch of KMD Gdansk. The importance of the KMD Gdansk continued to decline from mid-1944, and from July 1944 the office was no longer headed by a flag officer. Gdansk was taken by the Soviet army on 30.3.1945. The outpost boat group under Oberlt. zur See Thorn controlled the lagoon transports calling at Schwarzort and also carried out the loading and unloading. After the surrender, the KMD Hamburg was renamed "Marinedienstgruppe Hamburg" in 1945. Characterisation of the contents: War diaries and files of larger volumes have survived from the war naval stations in Hamburg, Bremen and Stettin as well as the branches in Ostend and Rotterdam.

1. biography: Karl Joseph Wilhelm Florestan Gero Crescentius Prince of Urach Count of Württemberg was born on 15 February 1865 in Ulm as the younger son of Wilhelm (I.) Duke of Urach and Florestine Duchess of Urach née Princess of Monaco (1); the prince attended the primary school and the Jesuit grammar school in Monaco (2) together with his older brother Wilhelm (II.) Duke of Urach. In 1877 he moved to the Jesuit educational institution of Our Lady Stella matutina in Feldkirch. After a further change of school in 1881, he graduated from the Karlsgymnasium in Stuttgart in 1883 and studied for two semesters at the University of Munich (3) from 1883 to 1884. There he attended lectures in metaphysics and history of Greek philosophy with the professor of philosophy and later Bavarian Prime Minister and German Chancellor Georg Graf von Hertling (1843-1919) as well as lectures in political science with the journalist and writer Professor Wilhelm Heinrich Riehl (1823-1897). 1883 he was appointed second lieutenant à la suite of the Ulan regiment King Karl (1st Württ.) No. 19 (4). In April 1886 Prince Karl entered the active service of this regiment, but had to leave the active service due to illness. In March 1887, the prince retired as an officer à la suite from the active service of the regiment. In the following years the prince was granted the usual promotions for a member of the House of Württemberg under the position à la suite of the regiment: in 1887 he was appointed prime lieutenant, in 1891 cavalry master, in 1899 cavalry major and in 1906 lieutenant colonel. From 1884, Karl Fürst von Urach travelled extensively (5): from 1884 to 1886 he travelled South America, visiting the Cordilleras and studying the Indian tribes on the upper reaches of the Amazon (6). He later handed over the ethnological collection he acquired during his journey to the Linden Museum in Stuttgart. Also in the time after 1887 he often stayed in Italy, Greece, in the Balkans, in Egypt, where he owned real estate in Heliopolis near Cairo (7), and in the Ottoman Empire. In 1891 he took part in an expedition to Spitsbergen (8), in 1893 the prince travelled to the USA(9). The few documents on the trip to the USA (especially letters of recommendation) (10) that are preserved in the present inventory suggest that this trip was also used for ethnological studies of Indian tribes. So he learned Turkish, Arabic and Persian. Last but not least, between 1893 and 1925 the prince had Arab rooms (11) built into his palace on Neckarstraße in Stuttgart, which he decorated with furniture, carvings, tiles, works made of plaster stucco, carpets and other antiques from the Orient. During the First World War, Prince Karl was finally able to use his language skills and the knowledge he had acquired about this region during his many journeys to the Orient for his work as a German liaison officer in the Ottoman Empire (12). He performed this function between 1916 and 1917, when Prince Karl took over several honorary offices. He was president of the Württemberg group of the German Colonial Society (13) and member of the Württemberg regional association of the German Fleet Association (14). He supported the Society for the Promotion of German Settlements in Palestine (15). He also supported the work of the airship designer Ferdinand Graf von Zeppelin by subscribing to shares in the company for the promotion of airship travel (16).Karl Fürst von Urach was awarded numerous orders in the course of his life (17): in 1883 the Prince received the Monegasque Order of Saint Charles, in 1889 the Grand Cross of the Persian Order of the Sun and Lions (18), in 1897 the Ottoman Order of First Class, in 1899 the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial Medal. In 1910 he was awarded the Prussian Red Eagle Order. In 1916 he received the Wilhelmskreuz with swords and crown, one year later the royal Hungarian Order of Saint Stephen and the Iron Cross 2nd class. Karl Fürst von Urach died on 5 December 1925 in Stuttgart. He was buried in the Catholic section of the crypt of the castle church Ludwigsburg. 2. to the order and distortion of the stock:: Together with the Archive of the Dukes and Princes of Urach Grafen von Württemberg, the GU 120 collection was deposited in the Main State Archives in 1987. There, the archives of the House of Urach form the GU series of inventories within the inventory classification (tectonics). During the reorganization of the archive by Wolfgang Schmierer, Director of the Archive, the documents on Karl Fürst von Urach were given the signature GU 120, and since the materials were in a poor state of order, the units of registration had to be formed for the most part first. Where it made sense, the existing units were retained. During the indexing work, extensive documents were removed from the GU 120 holdings and assigned in particular to the GU 96 (Miscellaneous and Unclear), GU 100 (Foreign Archives and Other Collections), GU 107 (Florestine Duchess of Urach), GU 117 (Wilhelm (II.) Duke of Urach) and GU 202 (Bertha Freiin von Biegeleben) holdings. Moreover, it cannot be ruled out that further material of the provenance of Karl Fürst von Urach may be found in the as yet unlisted holdings of the House of Urach. by far the largest part of the holdings consists of the extensive correspondence of the Prince (category 2), above all with his mother (category 2.1.1) with his brother Wilhelm and his family (category 2.1.2) as well as with Bertha von Biegeleben (category 2.1.5). The latter was the court lady of his mother Florestine and a close confidante of the prince. In addition, correspondence with representatives of the German and European ruling and former ruling princely houses can be found in the holdings (Section 2.5). Karl Fürst von Urach also corresponded with numerous public figures (section 2.7), including scholars. Almost all correspondence is so-called unilateral correspondence, that is, only the letters of the correspondence partner are found in the existing stock. If there are isolated letters or drafts of letters from the Reigning Prince to the respective addressee, this is expressly mentioned in the title recording. Usually these are letters of the prince returned to the prince or his family afterwards. It should also be noted that Prince Karl did not make any copies of his correspondence. The correspondences can be regarded as an interesting source for the history of everyday life and mentality of the nobility. They show the manifold contacts which the prince maintained with members of other noble families. They also certainly offer details of the Prince's numerous journeys. However, it was not possible to index the contents of the correspondence due to the time and effort involved. Unfortunately, the correspondences and correspondence series contained in this collection sometimes have smaller gaps. It is not possible at the present time to answer the question of whether the previously unlisted holdings of the archives of the House of Urach still contain correspondence of the prince. Besides the correspondence, the extensive collections of photos and photographs (category 10) form the second largest part of the holdings in terms of the number of title recordings. Of particular interest are the photos and photo albums with photos from the Prince's numerous travels to South America, Egypt, the Ottoman Empire and the Balkans (Section 10.2.2). There are also photos taken during the aforementioned activity of the prince as a liaison officer in the Ottoman Empire during the First World War (section 10.2.4). Prince Karl's interest in Islamic (Arabic) art is also reflected in the numerous photographs of buildings and artworks of Islamic art, which are combined in section 10.3. Of the other materials preserved in the present collection, the Prince's manuscripts with literary and art-historical texts and a memorandum on the political reorganization of Europe by Germany in the First World War should also be mentioned, as well as interesting documents on the associations and societies in which the Prince was active and in which he was active. In an appendix (column 16) photos, an album and seal from the possession of the Wera Duchess of Württemberg née Grand Duchess of Russia are united, which after the death of the Duchess were handed over by her daughter Olga Prinzessin zu Schaumburg-Lippe to Karl Fürst von Urach.In addition, correspondences of the brother of Karl Fürst von Urach, Wilhelm (II.) Duke of Urach, to Charlemagne's estate, to the Arab rooms and to a newspaper article about the princes were added to the collection (19). Since these materials refer to Karl Fürst von Urach, the classification into the present holdings seemed to be reasonable. As expected, documents on Karl Fürst von Urach are also available in other holdings of the archives of the House of Urach. In particular the holdings GU 99 (photo albums and collections), GU 107 (Florestine Herzogin von Urach née Prinzessin von Monaco), GU 117 (Wilhelm (II.) Herzog von Urach) and GU 202 (Bertha von Biegeleben) are to be mentioned here. the archives of the holdings may only be inspected with the prior permission of the chief of the House of Urach. the holdings GU 120 were catalogued by the undersigned from autumn 2004 to April 2005.

On 19 May 1856 the Chamber of Commerce was established by Royal Decree for the district of Bochum. Gustav Müllensiefen, Crengeldanz, was the chairman when the company was founded. From 1872 to 1897 Louis Baare, director of the Bochumer Verein, presided. Changes in the district boundaries resulted mainly from changes in the area of the city and rural districts: from 1885, the Chamber of the City of Bochum and the districts of Bochum and Gelsenkirchen. The cities of Gelsenkirchen (1897), Witten (1899) and Herne (1906) left the counties. 1929 Chamber for the city districts Bochum, Gelsenkirchen (with Buer and Horst), Herne, Wanne-Eickel, Wattenscheid and Witten as well as Hattingen and further ten municipalities from the Ennepe-Ruhr district. 1943 in the course of the formation of the Gauwirtschaftskammern (chambers of commerce), spin-off of the city district of Gelsenkirchen (Reg.-Bez.

After the communal reorganization in 1975 the affiliation of the cities Hattingen and Witten from the Ennepe-Ruhr district to the district of the Bochum Chamber of Commerce was controversial. 1982 they came after administrative court judgement finally to the chamber Bochum, which covers thus the city districts Bochum, Herne as well as the cities Hattingen and Witten from the Ennepe Ruhr district. 65 m Within the group of chamber archives, the collection contains the richest materials on the history of the Ruhr area from 1870 to 1914.

History of the Baden embassies: Until 1871 Baden had maintained its own missions to the German Confederation, in Bavaria, Belgium, France, Hanover (until 1866), Hesse (Grand Duchy of Hesse), Italy, the Netherlands, Austria, Prussia, Saxony, Switzerland and Württemberg, as well as numerous overseas consulates (8 in the USA alone). The same states were also represented in Baden. With Baden's entry into the German Reich, his foreign powers were transferred to it and all Baden embassies were dissolved; only the embassy in Berlin remained in existence until 1918 or 1945. The legations in Stuttgart and Munich were re-established in Munich in 1894 in personal union and functioned until 1919. Conversely, in Karlsruhe after 1871, there were still legations from Bavaria, Belgium, Brazil, Great Britain (chargés d'affaires), Prussia, Russia and Spain, albeit with smaller personnel and fewer competences. Furthermore, numerous consulates remained as before, most of which were based in Mannheim. Tradition: The files of the legations dissolved in 1871 were handed over by the State Ministry to the General State Archives in 1887 with the condition that they be kept as a whole, i.e. not to be torn apart. Friedrich von Weech therefore established a "Gesandtschaftsarchiv" at the Haus- und Staatsarchiv as its abbot IV in accordance with the provenance. In 1934, the files of the Baden legations in Berlin were submitted from 1884 and Munich from 1894 onwards, others followed until 1951. Development: In 1907-1909, the legation files submitted until then were recorded, renumbered after 1950 and copied by typewriter in 1966; in 2010, Ms Sigrun Gees produced an online version of them. Parallel holdings: holdings 48, here: Diplomatic correspondence (counter tradition of the Baden government), embassies, consulates, fonds 233, here: Legations, especially no. 34795-34836 (reports of the Baden legation in Berlin 1874-1933) and no. 34863-34871 (reports of the Baden legation in Munich and Stuttgart 1894-1919).

Hospelt, Familien- und FirmenarchivIn 1964, Adolf von Lauff donated the estate of his father, the Rhenish poet Joseph von Lauff (1855-1933), to the city of Cologne. He had married the daughter of the Cologne factory owner and city councillor Wilhelm Anton Hospelt (1820-1893) Josephine Hospelt in 1882. Therefore, the company and family archive Hospelt, which had fallen to the family through inheritance (via Artur Hospelt?), was also part of the Lauff estate. This was separated from the Lauff estate (Order 1170) when it was taken over and set up as a separate portfolio (Order 1175). On the occasion of the review and order of the Lauff estate, the Hospelt estate was also rearranged. Some of the documents still in the Lauff estate on the Hospelt ink works (original minutes of shareholders' meetings; managing director correspondence Adolf v. Lauff) were incorporated into this collection. In the Lauff estate only those files remained which had arisen as a result of Lauff's share as a shareholder of Farbwerke. The archives of the Hospelt collection comprise four archive cartons. They were arranged roughly, the company files according to subject groups, the family papers according to persons. The order found was maintained - even if it mixed the provenances in various ways - but more strongly structured. The individual pieces were summarized and briefly characterized under Subject resulting from the respective existing material. The descendants' tables attached to the index are intended to clarify the family relationships and the inheritance of the company shares of Farbwerke Hospelt.

Inventory description: Until the beginning of the war in 1939, the departments and units were used to extend the fortifications in their home area, and then mainly to build coastal defence installations in the occupied western territories, Denmark and Norway on the so-called Atlantikwall. From 1941 onwards, the dismantling and demolition of existing fortifications to gain material for the construction of the Atlantic Wall was also one of the tasks of the fortress pioneers. Nevertheless, in the course of the war the fortress pioneers found themselves increasingly confronted with difficulties in procuring materials and equipment. Content characterisation: The inventory group comprises documents of numerous provenances of the higher pioneer staffs (e.g. Inspector of the State Fortifications and Higher Pioneer Officers) and middle pioneer staffs (mainly fortress pioneer commanders), the fortress pioneer staffs, fortress intelligence staffs, fortress services and construction units, individual security sections as well as the military geological sites. The most extensive individual collection with around 2000 archive units comes from the fortress pioneer staff 10 (Heilbronn), who, in addition to the pioneer staffs 11 and 12, directed the construction of the Neckar-Enz position from 1934 and was responsible for the section between Eberbach and Stuttgart. Parts of the staff later organised the work on the Westwall before it was used in northern Norway/North Finland from 1942. The records of this staff refer mainly to the period from 1935 to 1938, but to a lesser extent to the fortress pioneer staffs commissioned to build the Wetterau position (approx. 400 volumes of the fortress pioneer staff 14 Aschaffenburg). The documents consist of exploration reports, construction guidelines and plans, construction diaries, construction drawings for standard structures, cable plans, maps and picture folders, extension calendars, plans for communication links, commands for monitoring the facilities, for dam construction and for securing fortress areas. There are also files on the procurement of building materials, components and furnishings for the concreted stands, some of which refer to fortifications in the occupied territories. The assessment of the water and soil conditions is reflected in the expert reports of the weir geologists. In detail, the following provenances, terms and archive units are available: - Inspector of the fortifications of the federal states west: mainly 1942-1944 (about 35 AU), - Inspector of the fortifications of the federal states north: mainly 1942-1943 (8 AU), - Artillery officer west for the fortifications of the federal states: 1938-1945 (4 AE), - Higher Command Saarpfalz: 1944 (1 AE), - Higher Pioneer Officer for the State Fortifications West /News: 1934-1945 (15 AE), - Higher Pioneer Officer 2: 1940-1944 (2 AE), - Higher State Pioneer Officer 2: 1944 (1 AE), - Superstructure Staff 6 (including Section Staffs 12, 13, and Section Staffs 13), - Higher Pioneer Officer for the State Fortifications West /News: 1934-1945 (15 AE), - Higher Pioneer Officer 2: 1940-1944 (2 AE), - Higher State Pioneer Officer 2: 1944 (1 AE), - Superstructure Staff 6 (including Section Staffs 12, 13, and Section Staffs 13) 33-35): without date (43 AE), - superstructure member 9 (including section structural members 28, 29 and construction parts 28, 29), - superstructure member 9 (including section structural members 28, 29 and construction parts 29) 97-104: without date (50 AU), - Kommandantur der Befestigungen Eifel: 1939-1942 (4 AU), - Kommandantur der Befestigungen Niederrhein: 1939-1941 (17 AU) - Kommandantur der Befestigung Vogesen: 1944 (2 units), - Kommandantur der Befestigungen Oberrhein: 1940-1943 (14 units), - Kommandantur der Befestigungen Saarpfalz: 1940-1942 (3 units), - Festungs-Pionier-Kommandeur I: 1940-1944 (3 AE), - Fortress Pioneer Commander II: 1940-1941 (1 AE), - Fortress Pioneer Commander IV: 1941-1943 (2 AE), - Fortress Inspection V: 1934-1938 (32 AE), - Fortress Pioneer Commander VI (Fortress Inspector VI): 1934-1938 (11 AE), - Fortress Pioneer Commander VII: 1938-1939 (2 AE), - Fortress Pioneer Commander VIII: 1938-1940 (11 AU), - Fortress Pioneer Commander IX: 1938-1940 (7 AU), - Fortress Pioneer Commander XI: 1940 (1 AU), - Fortress Pioneer Commander XIII: 1944 (1 unit), - Fortress Pioneer Commander XIV: 1938,1942 (2 units), - Fortress Pioneer Commander XVI: 1944 (1 unit), - Fortress Pioneer Commander XVIII: 1945 (1 unit), - Fortress Pioneer Commander XIX: 1942-1944 (5 AE), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 1: 1940-1944 (11 AE), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 2: 1938-1944 (3 AE), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 3: 1940-1944 (4 AU), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 4: 1940 (1 AU), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 6: 1926-1944 (16 AU), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 7: 1944 (1 AU), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 8: 1941-1944 (1 unit), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 9: 1941-1945 (5 units), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 10: mainly 1935-1938 (about 2000 units), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 11: 1937-1944 (3 units), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 12: 1935-1943 (41 AU), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 13: 1936-1943 (56 AU), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 14: mainly 1935-1938 (about 400 AU), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 15: 1938-1944 (2 AE), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 16: 1938-1940 (2 AE), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 17: 1938-1944 (5 AE), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 18: 1938-1940 (5 AE), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 19: 1938-1940 (5 AE), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 19: 1938-1940 (5 AE), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 21: 1942-1944 (4 AE), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 22: 1939-1941 (4 AE), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 23: 1939-1940 (2 AE), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 24: 1940-1944 (5 AE), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 25: 1939-1944 (8 AE), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 26: 1942-1943 (2 AE), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 27: 1941-1943 (2 AE), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 28: 1936-1945 (6 AE), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 29: 1940-1943 (2 AE), - Fortress Pioneer Staff 30: 1941-1942 (7 AE), - Pioneer Special Staff 66: 1944 (2 AE), - Pionier-Sonderstab Ewringmann (AOK 14, Northern Italy): 1944-1945 (5 AE), - Pionier-Erkundungsstab Nobiling (Italy): 1944-1945 (4 AE), - Festungs-Nachrichtenstäbe 1, 3, 7, 10, 14, 15, 17, 18, 20: mainly 1942-1943 (about 50 AE), - Festungsdienste, Festungspionier-Abschnitte, Festungs-Baustellen (u. a.

Description:Hansen, Joseph, 26.04.1862-29.06.1943, Director of the Historical Archive of the City of Cologne (1891-1927), Chairman of the Gesellschaft für rheinische Geschichtskunde (1893-1927), Hansen's estate at the time was listed except for 1-2 cartons containing pieces from other collections. After the conclusion of the Hansen-Boberach source edition, Heinz Boberach returned to the archive copies of files and letters for the time planned by Hansen in 1850ff in the amount of approx. 3-4 slipcases. These materials were also deposited at the end of the inventory. They were not recorded. preliminary remarkAn exact date for the takeover of the estate of Joseph Hansen cannot be determined. It must be assumed that the estate was already in the archives at his death during the air raid of 29 June 1943 in his Sachsenring apartment. Because the apartment was completely destroyed by a phosphorus bomb. It can be assumed for certain that the estate at that time was in his office in the archive of Gereonskloster 2. After his retirement in 1927, Hansen had "Quellen zur Geschichte der Rheinlande im Zeitalter der französischen Revolution 1780- 1801" (Sources on the History of the Rhineland in the Age of the French Revolution 1780-1801) for the development of his editions. Bd. 1-4, 1931-1938 and "Rheinische Briefe und Akten zur Geschichte der politischen Bewegung 1830-1850", Bd. 2, 1942 still worked permanently in the archives, since this time the estate lay in rough order in cartons. Erich Kuphal had numbered the folders lying in the boxes, listed them according to their subject and glued the lists onto the boxes. He had also labeled the folders, as far as not already designated by Hansen, and a content subject, but otherwise left them in their original context. However, this was so disturbed, partly by wartime relocation and later rearrangements, that a more detailed order and distortion was appropriate. The reorganisation became unavoidable after the interest of research in Hansen's person and work grew steadily from the 1980s onwards, with the focus of the estate on a) Hansen's cooperation with historical societies and commissions, b) notes, material collections and manuscript drafts on his projects, source editions and representative works, c) material collections on topics of the 19th century and his present, to which Hansen's historical interest was directed. Private and family documents are also not available and must have perished due to the house fire. Furthermore, the estate contains approx. three cartons with original sources (documents, letters, files), some of which are related to Hansen's research projects. According to Hansen's method of giving the sources with his own comments and typesetting instructions directly to the printers, this is not surprising. However, another part of the sources cannot be associated with Hansen's research. They will have been randomly assigned to the stock during stock removals and relocations and, like the other original sources, must be reassigned to the stocks of origin. The situation is different with the copies of sources suggested by Hansen (Geheimes Preußisches Staatsarchiv, Staatsarchiv Darmstadt, Nationalarchiv Paris). They remain in this estate as a collection of material or are kept as appendices to the collection, such as, for example, the addresses of reunions:- Erich Pelzer: Josph Hansen (1982-1943) and his contribution to Rhenish Revolution Research, in: Tel Aviver Jahrbuch für deutsche Geschichte XVIII (1989), S. 271-291;- Everhard Kleinertz: Joseph Hansen (1982-1943), in: Joseph Hansen, Prussia and Rhineland from 1815 to 1915. One hundred years of political life on the Rhine, with contributions by ... published by Georg Mölich, Cologne 1990, pp. 273-325;- Everhard Kleinertz: Joseph Hansen, in: Rheinische Lebensbilder vol. 13, published by Franz-Josef Heyen, Cologne 1993, pp. 249-276; from the latter publication a copy of the - still not complete - list of publications by Joseph Hansen is attached.Cologne, 27 December 1995Contains manuscripts and drafts of historical works;Correspondence on the General German Biography, Cologne Historical Topics, Society for Rhenish History, Historical Commission in Munich, Historical Reich Commission in Berlin and Historical Institute in Rome.
